  Tom just kept driving I'm not sure where we were going, we were surrounded by nothing but desert.
I just stared out the window and held hands with Tom in the meantime.
It was really peaceful, holding hands, listening to the cure, and driving away with my best friend.
But is that really all we were?
Tom pulled over to a nearby 7-11 and looked at me,
"Want anything?"
I shook my head, full from the treats we ate from the drive-in theater.
He went inside and soon came back with a pack of beer.
I looked at him,
"How did you get that?"
He smiled and reached for his pocket,
"Fake I.D babe."
I blushed at the nickname and took an amber bottle.
He sat down back in the car and turned the music on the stereo a little higher.
We both sat back in the car as the cure played,
I cracked open the bottle with my bottle opener on my keys and handed the keys to Tom.
I looked out of the car to my right and saw a full moon.
Tom got my attention back and raised his bottle.
We clinked the bottles together and we both had said 'cheers'.
We drank the entire pack, well mainly Tom I was still somewhat sober.
More like tipsy, but I knew for sure Tom was drunk.
Before I could register what was happening, Tom had started the car again.
He tried driving on the road but he swerved and we hit a lamp post.
It looked like we actually wrapped our car around a damn lamp post. 
Tom got out of the car and started cursing.
He kicked the lamp post and started yelling,
"Stupid tree get outta' here!"
Soon a cop pulled up next to us,
I'm certain he already knew what's going on.
I don't remember much after that.
I remember a flashlight blinding me and sitting next to Tom in uncomfortable plastic.
Shit, are we getting arrested?

I pretty much blanked out when we got to the station. They gave Tom and I water to sober up.
I heard a clanking of boots coming in our direction.
A man with a Sheriff hat and gear faced us in the cell he placed us in.
He sighed and gave us a lecture how under-agers' shouldn't drink and whatnot. 
He asked if we had anyone to call and I told him Mark's number.
He walked away and I turned to Tom, he had his eyes shut and he looked agitated.
"How are you holding up Tom?"
I put my hand on top of his and squeezed it lightly.
"I'm okay... I'm sorry (n/n), I'm so fucking sorry."
I looked at him with concern. What was going on in his head? No one could know.
His breathing got shaky and he looked at me. His eyes were pooling with fresh tears, just waiting to spill.
"We could've died tonight, You could have died tonight.."
His tears fell and so did my walls. I could tell we both felt emotionally vulnerable, I just felt it.
I just hugged him and we stayed like that for what seemed like hours.
I sat back up again and moved the hair away from his eyes.
"Everything is okay."
He smiled and leaned forward.
Was this really it?
I never would have imagined I would kiss a guy in a temporary cell.
His lips touched mine and I felt the cold sensation of his lip piercing.
His lips felt warm and I felt this rush of happiness inside of me.
We parted and I simply stared at him with astonishment.
I guess he was happy with how I felt because what he looked like a little kid with candy.
"I think I'm falling in love with you (y/n)."
I felt.. What did I feel?
At first I was overjoyed,
but then like usual I started overthinking.
He's drunk, he doesn't know what he's talking about, besides you're both are in a contemporary cell, you call this romantic?
Before you could dwell on the subject any longer the sheriff came back saying we were free to leave.
Mark soon came in through the door as the sheriff unlocked the cell.
I rushed out of the door first.
I didn't want to think about tomorrow.

A/n: hey guys! I changed the formatting idk how I feel about it but I thought it looked okay, tell me what you think :)
