Trapped in Ophelia's Body

Spectacular View

Song: Sad song by We the kings ft. Elena Coats

The wind blows rapidly against my body, blowing through my clothes. The vibrations from the bike starts to calm me. I hold onto him like there's no tomorrow. He drives and drives turning on different roads, first in the city and then out in the open country. I have no idea where we are going and I don't care. I just need to get away. I feel so embarrassed and ashamed, his mom should have never seen me half naked and not in Kodiak's room. I feel like dying. My life just can't get any worse. I'm  so glad his dad didn't  walk in, I would have died for sure.

The sun is starting to go down and he pulls over at this park under a tree. He helps me off the bike and then he gets off. "Sorry about all of that...my parents treat me like I'm a kid," he smirks.

I giggle and roll my eyes at him. "You are just a kid."

"Whatever...I will be eighteen in like a month. They need to respect my privacy."

"Kinda hard when you don't lock the door." I slap his upper arm and start walking off. He walks up beside me. "So where the heck are we anyway?"

"You haven't been here before? What do you stay locked away in your room all the time?" He takes my hand into his. "Come on I want to show you another place I love." We walk the trail a little ways and come to a cliff. I don't want to look over it and I have no intentions of doing so. He however walks all the way up to the edge. Then motions for me to come over to sit next to him. I watch as he dangles his feet over the edge. "Come on...I won't let you fall."

I start to go this really nervous laugh, "Of course you won't because I'm not sitting there." I shake my head no and take a step back.

He Pat's the space beside him a few times. "Come on...you will like it."

Yeah sure but I'm kind of afraid of heights...nope not happening. I back up a few more steps away so he stands up and comes to me grabbing my hand to walk me back over closer to the edge. "Ok look...you can sit right here alright...you don't have to even look down if you don't want to."

"So why are we here then?" I try my best to avoid looking down as much as possible. I don't even want to know how high up we are.

"Because I love the sunset from up here and wait till the stars come out it is incredible you are going to love it," he is still talking as he kneels down to the ground and then helps me sit down right by his side. "Now breathe...look." He points out and the skyline.

I didn't realize that I wasn't breathing until he said something. I look out and it is amazing; the sun is almost gone and the sky is this miraculous shade of reds and purples and all the shades between the two. It would actually be calming if I could get my mind off how high up we are. Ok so it's not really that high up but it is to me. I get my phone out to take a picture and then take one of him smiling at me with the sunset behind him. And for some unknown reason my parents come into my mind.

Crap I better text them to let them know that I am alright. So I shoot them a quick text letting them know that we are at the park and that I am fine. My phone dings back in no time.

Kodiak tries to get a glimpse at the text. "So, what did they say?"

"My mom just says to be careful and be home by ten."

"Your parents seem really cool...not like mine."

Yeah sure if that is what he thinks but I know if they find out about what just happened I will be grounded for life. "Actually they are usually pretty protective. I'm sure if they find out about what just happened they would not be happy at all....maybe even madder than your parents."

"You think so." He gets his phone and takes a picture of me. I look away and when I think he is done I turn only to have him take a few more of me. I can't  help but be a little bashful; I so hate my picture being taken.

"I know so and stop wasting your space on me," I start to laugh.

"I am not wasting space....you are beautiful...I want my phone filled with you all in it."

I roll my eyes at him and he takes another one just to make me smile again. My heart is not pounding as much now and it gets darker around us. I notice little lighting bugs fluttering all around us. The stars are coming out and he lies back on the rough ground underneath us. I lay back and rest my head in the crook of his arm. The view is for sure the best ever. I feel like I can almost touch the stars from here. We lay there in silence taking the night sky in around us for what seems like forever.

Suddenly his phone starts going off and when he doesn't answer it stops and starts playing his ring tone all over again.

"I better get this...they are already mad enough at me," he tells me as he is sitting back up and getting his phone out. He sighs before saying anything,  "Mom...I'm fine...yes...I will be home by ten...yes...no...we will talk about it later...ok...bye...love you too."

I try not to listen to the conversation as I try to focus on the stars, trying to make out constellations and hoping to see a shooting star but it's so hard not to hear the tone in his voice. "She doesn't seem mad anymore."

"I think she is more upset about it than anything. She will be fine."

"Hopefully...I think we should be getting back its really dark and are we going to be able to find out way out of these woods?"

"Of course...I know this place like the back of my hand and we got the light on our phones." He turns his own and helps me up. We walk hand in hand all the way back to his bike. We are back at his house by nine. I get off and walk over to my car. He leans in to kiss me goodbye. We both jump when the front door opens up and his mom looks out.

"Goodnight Ophelia," she tries to say it as nice as possible  but I can tell she is still upset with us.

"Goodnight," he says sweetly in my ear. I look up at him.

"Guess that is my cue to leave." I open the car door and get in and he stops me smiling at me again.

"Wait...." And his lips are so amazingly soft against mine. I wish we could just stand here all night but that is unlikely going to happen. "Call me when you get home."

"Of course...you better go before you get into more trouble."

"Yeah...yeah...yeah...bye be careful going home."

"I will." I tell him and shut the door. He waits until I am all the way out of the driveway before going inside. I wonder if they will give him the third degree once inside.

Thankfully Kodiak doesn't live too far from my house it only takes like ten minutes to drive home. Of course if you didn't have to stop at every traffic light it would be even shorter. I'm stopped at the moment so I send a quick text to my mom...

Ophelia: Be home in five

Mom: Ok. The light is on for you. Love you.

Ophelia: Love you too.

I turn the radio up and think about how my mom would react to finding the two of us. Oh she would have had a slight heart attack. I'm sure I would have got the biggest lecture ever, way more than what his mom did. She seemed more concerned about me getting pregnant. First of all we are not having sex so that is not going to happen, not any time soon anyway. I am in my own little world when the light turns green. I take off and everything before me flashes. Sounds of scraping metal all around me...pieces of glass shattering and flying in all directions. My hands reach for my head to stop the pain throbbing. When the car stops spinning and I am not as dizzy from it, I gasp and start to panic realizing what just happened. I fight frantically to get out of the car but the seatbelt will not budge. I am still panicking when the other driver comes to my door and then other people are coming over surrounding me.

There are red and blue lights flashing and sirens so loud that I can't think. My head is pounding so much causing me to breathe harder until my lungs...my body is too exhausted and I pass out.
