Just your common love story

Chapter 6

Josh's POV

When I wake up from my nap its 4:20. I get up and shower. When I'm out I call Liz's mom and tell her to get Liz ready but don't tell her where we are going.

I throw on my nice boot cut jeans and my brown boots. I grab a button up shirt from my closet and put it on.

"There" I say.

I get in my car and head to the nearest flower shop. I buy a dozen white roses and put them in the seat next to me. Elizabeth doesn't like color that much.

I pull up to her house and its 5:30. I sit in the drive way a little longer, giving her time to finish getting ready. When its 5:50, I walk up on the porch and her dad opens the door. He looks happy, I wonder what happened?

He invites me inside the house and tells me to have a seat. I do just as he says.

As I'm sitting there, he tells me, "Take good care of my daughter. I don't want anything happenin' to her. You hear me?"

"Yes, sir. I wouldn't let anything happen to her." I say and nod.

"Good boy, now you and my daughter have fun. But not that much fun." He says and laughs.

I get up and shake his hand. While I'm shaking his hand, Elizabeth comes down the stairs.

I look up at her. She looks beautiful. I'm speechless. All I can say is, "Wow."

She blushes and walks down towards me.

"You look beautiful, Liz. Like amazing." I say as she grabs my arm.

"Why thank you Josh. And you look handsome," she says and winks at me.

We walk out the door and to my car. I never thought this would actually happen. I'm going on a date with the Elizabeth King. Me. I am. I thought she didn't like me. I was wrong.

Elizabeth's POV

Is this really happening? Am I really going on a date with Josh Wade? Its a dream. It has to be. He would never like a person like me. Not only does he like me, he loves me. And I love him. I have since we were little. I have since then and will forever. Nothing can change that.

We pull up the the restaurant and he gets out and opens my door. He's such a sweet heart.

"Thank you" I say.

"You're welcome" he says with a smile.

He walks me into the restaurant and asks for a table for two. The waitress takes us to our seats and we order our drinks. Like always, I order a sweet lemonade tea. He just gets an unsweetened tea.

We take a couple minutes to figure out what we want. I order a stake fillay. (or however you spell it) He gets the same.

While we are waiting for our food he asks me, "Elizabeth, I have liked you for a really long time, and I never ever thought you would like me back. But you do. You said you loved me. And of course I love you too. But something about you drives me crazy. Every time I see you my heart melts. Elizabeth Nicole King, will you be my girlfriend?"

All I can do us smile and nod.

"Yes, of course." I say.

He smiles and grabs my hand. It made me blush.

Our food arrives and we eat. When we are finish eating we get back in the car. He won't tell me where we are going. I sit in the passenger seat and observe all the places that pass.

When we get to where we are going, he stops and pulls over. He grabs a blanket out of the back of the truck. This gave me an idea of whats going on.

"Are we going to lay under the stars?" I ask.

"Yep, do you remember the spot that I first met you at?" He asks.

"Yes." I say excitedly.

"Well, we are going there now, just to watch and look a the stars. I figured you would love it Liz." He says while reaching for my hand.

"I do. And I'm so happy I get to spend it with you. I wouldn't change one minute of this night." I say with a smile.

He hugs me and we start walking together.

"Oh, wait a minute, I forgot something in the truck. I'll be right back." He says and kisses my cheek and walks off.

I watch him disappear I'm the darkness. I lay out the blanket and check the time. Its 9:15.

I wonder what he went back to get. It must have been important. He wouldn't have left me, would he? No, he said he loves me and I can tell he meant it.

Its been about 30 minutes and he still hasn't showed back up yet. I tried calling him but he wouldn't answer. I begin to cry.

"He lead me on. He brought me out here and dropped me off. He didn't love me. How could anyone love me? I'm pathetic.. And a loser. I look like a hobo 24/7 and I'm a geek. That's all I am and all I'll ever be." I say to myself. I start walking towards where he parked. I'm gonna see if he left. It doesn't seem like Josh to just leave me like that.

When I get to the spot, I make a confused look. His truck is still there. I wonder where he is.

I'm worried about him now.

I'm looking for a flashlight in his truck. He has to have one. Every guy carried a flashlight in their truck.

I open the glove box and there lays a 22 pistol and a flash light. I grab them both and get out of the truck.

I got the flashlight so I could see, and I got the 22 just in case I see a coyote or someone tries to kidnap me.

"Josh." I yell.

"Josh, are you okay? Please answer me." I plead.

I keep yelling Josh's name and get no respond.

I'm walking and frantically searching everywhere.

When I'm about to head back to the truck and call 911 I hear moaning.

I run towards the sound and while I'm running I trip over a stick. I fall and my face hits something soft and boney. I shine the flashlight on it and its.. Josh. He didn't leave me, he fell and hurt himself. He is bleeding and falling in and out of consciousness. I scream for help. But of course no one can hear me.

I suddenly feel stinging on the left side of my body. I shine the light and these bugs are biting me. I can't make them out. They're blue and red. And they keep hurting me.

I try killing them off but I can't. I just can't. My body gives in and I BLACK OUT...

Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I was busy. I had basketball practice and then I had to go work the cotton candy machine at a carnival.

Hope you enjoyed.

I thought a cliff hangar would be a good idea.
