It was midnight and there was no sign of anyone awake. I peaked out the door and looked if there was anyone and then snuck to the living room. I grabbed a bunch of old blankets and put my light north face jacket on. I went to the fridge and grabbed two water bottles. I ran back to my room and grabbed a book and then found a flash light. I went back to go find my blankets and water bottles and there stood Zion looking confused at the blankets and then at me.
"What's this for?" He whispered to me. We were like 6 feet from each other.
I went over and grabbed it "just needed some snacks" I lied to him
"Why is your north face jacket on?"
"It's cold" I lied once again "I also need to grab something from the car"
I grabbed all my stuff and went to the back yard I knew Zion was following me but I didn't care any more to be quite frank. I set this up a long time ago but on the side of my house there's a tree, it's very easy to climb and then it's the perfect place to where you can get to the roof from it. I used to sit up there every night or when I needed a escape. I needed one now more than ever. I have never brought anyone up here, I wanted it to just be my place. But I guess Zion would change that. I shoved the waters into my sweat pants pockets and the blankets I kind of just shoved into my jacket along with the book and then turned on the flash light holding it in my mouth
I began climbing the tree and heard Zion behind me "Avery what, this is so sketchy what're you doing" I climbed my way up and then did some thing and boom was on the roof. I laid out one of my blankets and the covered myself with the other one. I set the flashlight down since the stars brightened everything and didn't worry about getting back to Zion. It took awhile but soon enough he threw himself on the roof
"What is this" he asked when he saw me have everything sort of laid out.
"I don't know" I told him. I laid down with my head on the roof looking up at the stars.
"Can I come sit"
"Come on over" He came and sat next to me and I turned my self so I could lay my head on his lap.
"Here it's cold" he said grabbing the other blanket I had and throwing it over me.
"Thanks" we both sat staring at the stars in silence for a about 5 minutes.
"It's really pretty out"
"I know"
"Are you doing okay?" I nodded my head yes "no but actually like. With everything. Don't just tell me yes be honest"
I sat up and looked him in the eyes instantly feeling butterflies from doing this. But then I just let out my feelings "Yknow that feeling where your constantly waiting for something and then everything just doesnt work out the way you wanted it to. Frankly goes completely down hill and your life slowly starts tumbling apart and you can't do anything so you just keep going on hoping for something better to happen but really things just get worse" I began spiraling "but really it'll never get better. Nothing will ever get better because why should it. Why should it be good for me. Why should one thing get better. Why can't I just be happy happy for once. I've spent these 4 years living by some law that Luke has made for me and I'm done. But I can't. I can't do this alone, Zion I am so scared. Nothing gonna end up right and I'm just in just gonna-" and then right there. He interrupted me. He stopped me. He....kissed me. My worries just left and I didn't know why. I felt like nothing matter. Those 5 seconds were the most myself I've felt. He pulled away and we were left just staring at each other
"I'm sorry" he finally said and I laughed
"Zion I don't wanna just be friends with you anymore."
