Connor's POV-

12 songs and 2 music videos later my balls finally stopped aching. Oh good, now we can get this date movin' along! But on the other hand, laying in the grass, listening to music is super romantic and I kind of want to lay here holding her hand, with her head on my chest forever. But the date must go on! I paused Sara's Ipod and she looked over at me annoyed and confused at the same time. "Connor, if you don't like the song you can just tell me instead of pausing it at the best part." she said giving me a subtle death glare. "Sorry, feisty pants but we still have the whole day ahead of us, unless you just wanna stay here all day and not see what I have in store for us." I said raising my eyebrow and giving her a look that said you know I'm right.

"Alright you can stop patronizing me now mr.Interrogator." Sara said sassily with a cute smirk. I laughed at her comment and elbowed her in the side playfully. "Haha that tickled." Sara daid through laughter. "Oh really?" I said with a huge smile on my face, I put my hand on her ribs and began tickling her. She was squirming everywhere and laughing uncontrollably. I think it was the most adoreable thing I've ever seen and I was the source of it. Her laugh made me so happy and the fact that it comes with that amazing smile makes it even better. Five minutes later I finally stopped tickling Sara because she complained that her sides hurt and she was now crying of laughter. "You're pretty cute, you know that?" I said looking over at her. "Maybe." she said blushing and covering her face.

I got lost in her eyes right then and there. Such a beautiful shade of blue with a hint of gray, way better than my green ones. I think I had been staring at her for almost a minute now. I shook my head and brought myself back down to Earth. "Connor, are you alright?" Sara asked looking concerned. "Huh, I'm um yeah great...." I stuttered while trying to hide the fact that I was blushing pretty hard. She gave me a puzzled look, then just shrugged and stood up. I got up off the ground right after her and gave her a warm smile. "Okay first we have a picnic while the sun is rising...but um it kind of just did. I'm sorry we can still find a nice spot in the sunshine and sit by the lake."

"Connor, really it's fine. Things happen, hakuna matata." Sara said grabbing my hand and smiling. I immediatley broke out into song, "IT MEANS NO WORRIES, FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS! IT'S OUR PROBLEM FREE PHILOSOPY, HAKUNA MATATA!!!!!!!" I was way off key but I didn't really care I can't sing anyway. Sara had the biggest grin on her face. "Come on you dork, let's get food. This girl is so hungry she could eat an elephant." she said smirking. I gasped and looked disgusted at her in a sarcastic way. "They're endangered you terrible person! Next time come up with a better example." I said walking away from her with my hand in the air.

Sara rolled her eyes at my remark with the biggest smile on her face. She jogged to catch up to me. "So where's the picnic stuff?" Sara asked, while taking my hand in hers. "In my trunk, we have to go get it." I said turning in the direction of where my car was parked.

~~~~~~~~~10 minutes later ~~~~~~~~

Sara and I picked a nice sunny spot a couple feet away from the shore of the lake. We were standing on top of the small hill drinking in the beauty right before our eyes. the water was so clear you could see the bottom yet it was a blueish green color. And the shore was scattered with pebbles and small rocks. I even spotted a fox on the other side, gingerly walking towards the body of water as if it thought it would be ambushed at any minute. Is it weird that I kind of want to live at the park? Its just so pretty here and away from the bustling city. This is a part of the world that has been pretty much left alone by man and now because of this we've lost a lot of it. Animals have gone extinct because of us killing them for sport and pretty soon some others will be too. I will never understand the cruel wrath of man and why we feel the need to hurt innocent creatures. I will admit it's gotten a little better and we're making a difference and helping them become what they used to be but, we aren't doing as much about the environment which is a huge necessity for both us, the human race, and the rest of the animals. If we keep going in the direction we are we're gonna end up like the movie "Wall-e". I thought to myself.

"Connor, are you alright?" Sara said rubbing my arm gently. "Uh yeah. I was just looking at that fox and thinking about how some animals are going extinct and how bad the environment is." I said clenching my jaw. She looked over at me empathetically with a mixture of sadness and anger in her eyes. "I'm glad I'm not the only one whose noticed. I was starting to think I was the only one my age like that. People always call me a tree hugger and a hippie and it pisses me off." she said crossing her arms over her chest and tapping her foot. "Like seriously people don't realize. We're running out of resources, the radiation is deadly toxic in some parts in the world, and we are running out of places to put our trash. There's literally an island in the middle of the ocean made solely of garbage." I said ranting my ass off. "Right? And why don't they have recycling bins everywhere? it's so easy! You don't even need an official bin! you can just take any box and label it "Recycle". she said pacing. "Sara, calm down." I said lightly pulling her towards me. "I'll just tell my viewers! They'll do something about it. I can even tell the guys to make a theme week all about taking care of the earth." I said with a smile. "Viewers, theme week? Connor, what are you talking about? are you on a tv show or something?" she asked, curiosity getting the better of her. "Alright. Well....wait first promise not to make fun of me but, I had a dream I told you about this and you totally freaked out and left and never talked to me again and I didn't tell you because I'm afraid it will really happen and you're gonna hate me forever and...." I was cut off when her lips met mine, she cupped my face in her hands. I pulled her closer to my body and put my hands around her waist. a couple seconds later she detached her soft lips from mine and looked up at me with a genuine smile. "Connor, just tell me. I won't judge, I promise. I would never hurt you." she said placing the back of her hand on the left side of my face and soothingly slowly rubbing it against my skin. I grabbed her hand from my face and kissed it. I then intertwined my other hand with hers. I nervously let go of her right hand and ran my hand through my hair and then rubbed the back of my neck. She squeezed my hand in reassurance and looked at me, she lightly smiled. A way of telling me it was alright and I have nothing to worry about.

"Okay. Well my job isn't exactly normal. For some reason it attracts a crazy amount of admirers and so many people look up to me. I never understand why I'm just a normal person, nothing special. They always tell me I'm perfect and flawless but none of that is true. I upload videos of myself every Monday to a website called YouTube. And it's gotten big so fast, I never thought watching this weird teenage boy talking about stupid things could make people so happy. and that's just why I do it to make people happy. I know the darkness of the world swallows a lot of them and they have these awful pasts and scars both mental and physical. But, I make their world brighter and I keep them going. And that's what I love about what I do. Creating content to make people forget about life and just relax and have fun and be happy again. I couldn't even tell you how many people have come up to me when they first meet me and tell me I've saved them and when I see the scars on their wrists I always tell them they're beautiful and that they need to stop. For me. And they do. I've made a difference in this world and it's amazing." I said with a huge smile on my face looking down at Sara who was now crying.

"I knew you looked familiar, Mr. Frantastic." she said smiling up at me and planting a tender yet short kiss on my lips.

"So, you're okay with this? I thought you would think I'm weird." I said looking down.

"Connor! Stop that. Don't ever put yourself down. Its not worth it to be sad about something silly like this." Sara said lifting my chin up, making me meet her eyes.

I pulled her into a tight hug. Placing my head on her shoulder. "Thank you." I whispered as a single tear rolled down my cheek.

Hello readers!

So that should be done soon. And thank you for reading my story and commenting and whatnot. it is greatly appreciated and literally makes my day that people enjoy my story. more will be coming shortly to both stories.
