I rubbed my eyes and looked around a little, we are in an area of Tennessee that, does have the same rules as our shitty town, only 4 places don't have this rule, the town we previously were at, and 3 others scattered among America.
It was 1:30, and we are parked in a completely empty parking lot in a forest. I looked at Tyler, he's passed out, and I don't blame him he had to drive all night till he got here and they stopped him cause curfew. Even homeless people need to stay somewhere. But why? It's only in America too. America is fucked. Maybe we can go to Canada. That's a fun place, yeah.
"Jonathan your thinking out loud. " Tyler mumbled, "like if you have a problem going to sleep... I'm all arms. " he said and made a hugging motion with his arms and I crawled into the back of the backseats with a smile and right into his warm arms I was. He smelled nice, as always.
"Goodnight... " he mumbled as he fell into slumber again, and I followed shortly after.
I think... I have a small crush on him.
4 months and it might not be just a crush.
/1 week later/
It's been a week now and i don't know how to feel about this running away thing. I miss my mom and dad actually, but at least I can't miss Tyler. He's right here with me. The other guys said they might go back, cause it's shitty out here and that it was fun but they feel weaker every night. So today, we say goodbye to them as this might be the last we see of each other.
"It was fun guys, we'll see you guys again one day! " Marcel screamed out the window and they drove away. We had just said goodbye and Tyler looked at me. His eyes said everything. We walked into the car and he started to smile. "Jonathan we should head back to- I mean look at us. We are homeless, haven't had an education in months practically and have literally no money to our names, all we have is enough for 6 more full tanks. "
"It's okay Tyler, I know we probably should. But my parents would never let us see one another again- I. " "shut up- let's just go home. I miss your bed. " he looked into my soul with those eyes and I just nodded. He reached out his hand and grabbed mine. I interlocked them and looked at him. He started the car, and we started to drive backwards. Love- I think I know what that truly means now. It means how I feel with Tyler. He could break my heart, leave me for 9 months then come back and I would happily accept him even if it wasn't good for me. I might be in love- or just a crush- or whatever, at least I know what it means.
