If Words Told The Truth

Popcorn and freckles, please🎈

"Ok so what movie are we seeing again?" Henry asks, this dork doesn't even know.

"Jurassic Park, remember?" Patrick says as we're walking into the movie theatre.

"Why?" Henry asks.

"Because I'm in charge of which movie screens tonight and I chose Jurassic Park since lots of people love it." Patrick runs a fan club at the movie theatre and he also works here, pretty lame if you ask me.

I pay for my tickets and wait in line for the snacks. I look and see Richie... it appears he's with another girl. I walk up to him, "Hey Richie."

"Hey, I didn't know you were gonna be here, oh wait, I did." He smiles.

"Yeah, what movie are you seeing?" I ask.

"Jurassic Park."

"Cool, me too, wanna sit together?"

"Yeah, sure."

I couldn't help but wonder, "whose your friend?"

"Oh, her? She's my cousin, she's in town for the weekend so I figured why not do something fun and I purposely suggested coming here because I knew you'd be here." He replied.

I am joined by the goons, "What's this dork doing here?" Henry says looking at Richie.

"Fuck, why do you have to be so rude all the time?" I ask.

He doesn't say anything and we all walk into the theatre room. It's packed, luckily we managed to find good seating. We pick the seats that sit in the middle of the theatre because those are probably the best seats in the room because it's the perfect distance and you don't have to break your neck looking up at the screen.

"I'd like to take you to the movies sometime... just me and you, like a date. Or we can go for dinner." Richie tells me.

"I'd like that." I say. The movies start. Richie shares some of his sour candies with me and I share my chocolates with him.

Henry is sitting on the other side of me, he leans in and whispers, "You wanna come to my house after and uh,"

"No."

We are about half way through the movie now, I look over at Richie and notice he is looking at me. He places his hand on my cheek and leans in. Wait what? He locks his soft lips onto mine and kisses me, then pulls away revealing his rosey, freckled cheeks and a cute smile.

"I couldn't help it." Richie says.

I get up from my seat, "I'll be back, just gonna go to the washroom." I make my way to the aisle, looking back at the movie screen to make sure I don't miss lots. It's pretty dark and I can't quite see where I'm going, suddenly a fire trail rises to the side of the wall and completely blocks me off. The fire spreads.

"What the fuck!?" I stumble back, trying not to get burned. People are now panicking as the fire spreads more and they all try to turn to the exit, but it's blocked off by the fire. I watch them all scatter to the other exit that's by the screen.

Richie grabs me from behind, "Come on y/n we have to get out of here." Everyone is now trying to cram through the exit doors. I fall onto the ground because of so many people are shoving me. Richie helps me up quickly.

"Its gonna take to long, the fire is gonna spread to us before we can even get out. Patrick, there isn't any backing behind the movie screen, is there?" I ask.

"No, why?" He asks concerned.

"Henry, give me your pocket knife, quick!" I rush him. He hands it to me very curiously and I grab it, running up to the movie screen and cutting it, revealing a whole large enough for a person to go through, "Through here, quick!" They all follow me. It appears as if we are in the storage room because there's a whole bunch of films lying around. I run up to the door, and twist the handle. "It's locked!" I say.

"Here!" Patrick throws me the keys and I unlock the door. We all leave the room and now we are in the lobby.

"Everyone! There's a fire in that theatre room!"
I yell out.
