The next morning she was getting ready to go out and take some pictures of the beautiful fall weather

She goes downstairs to the kitchen and makes herself a coffee to go

"Where are you going so early in the fucking morning"

Her mom slurred

"I'm going to take pictures mother"

Cleo said in an angry tone

"You always take pictures and no one is going to ever fucking see it, they're probably shit anyways"

Her mom said Cleo rushed out and slammed the door

Her eyes started to water because she loved photography and hearing her mom say that crushed her

She walked and snapped a few pictures along the way

There's a local forest near her house that has a river in the middle of it

She finally reached the river and sat down and took pictures of the water and the fall leaves

"We meet again"

She turn around and saw Dominic

"Hey how come your here?"

Cleo asked

"I come here to get away from my family and smoke, being here helps me with my music too"

He said sitting next to Cleo

"I thought you would text me when everything gets too much"

She said poking him on the arm softly, he softly giggled

"I was going to but its spring break and I didn't think you'd be up so early"

He said crushing his cigarette

"I'm always up early, I take a lot of depression naps so I'm either sleeping or out and fully energized"

She said as she snapped some pictures of the river

"Can I see what you've taken so far"

Dominic asks

"Yeah sure, but they aren't the best"

Dominic looked through the polaroids and he was shocked

"What do you mean these aren't the best their amazing, you really have an eye for photography"

He said looking at her smiling

"Well Thanks I try"

Then he looks at her and smiled softly

"You don't need to"

He said

"Hey you want to go to my place my family all went to the cottage for the weekend"

He asked

"Sure, But you better not kill me or something"

She said, he laughed

"Don't worry I won't, I promise"

Then he held the camera up to his face

"Smile!"

He says as he snaps a picture

"No I'm ugly"

She whines

"No you're not, I think your beautiful... now let's get going"

She blushed then he got up and he extended his hand out and helped her up

And they walked to his house and turns out hes surprisingly not too far from Cleo's

They walk in and she sees family pictures and Dominic was always the odd one out of the pictures

"Cleo down here"

He said walking down into the basement, she hesitated and he noticed

"I'm not going to kill you silly"

He said as he laughed and walked down stairs

"This is it"

He said gesturing to his room

"Wow this set up is amazing"

Cleo said looking at the microphone and bass guitars and drum set

"Thanks this is Where my band and I practice"

"Where do you guys usually play?"

"Mostly at party's, we've booked like about 4 gigs and they were pretty awesome"

"Ooo what's this, a diary?"

Cleo said walking over to the book on his night stand, but she wasn't able to get it because Dominic ran a grabbed it before she could

"Awe why can't I see"

"It's not a diary, well...sort of but like songs"

"Ooo soo you're a writer too so creative I like that"

They both sat on his bed

"So when will I be able to see this mystery song book/diary"

"Never"

"Awe common give me a fair chance"

"Okay okay fine...you have to do something big but not now once we get to know each other more you have to do something to surprise me or no looking"

"Alright deal"

She said extending her

"Deal"

He said as he shook her hand

~~~

A while later they had been talking for hours about little nothings and now they were laying on his bed listening to music

Dominic turned to look at Cleo and she was fast asleep he smiled to himself

"If only you knew the things i wrote...I wrote about you"

Then she unconsciously held his hand as she was meaning to grab hold of a pillow

His smile grew bigger and his heart started to beat faster
