Watch Out [Completed]

Chapter 23

<Mikey>

I couldn't stand to stay in that room for much longer. I felt so wimpy crying my eyes out. I didn't even stay in the hospital. I hid away in my car for a while. I needed to get away. I put my keys in the ignition and drove. I don't know where I'm going till I'm there. The place I first met Malia. The outside dance for school, under a tree that had twinkling lights.

The day of the after school night. It was outside in the neighboring park. All the trees had christmas lights that blinked, glowed one at time, and all sorts of cool patterns. It was around fall, so it got darker, faster. It's was around 6 and it was nearly pitch black. Thats when I saw Malia and Kaylee walk over, basically glowing. Malia had this beautiful, hot pink dress with black stripes that came to her knees in the front and almost to her ankles in the back with a black jacket over it. Kaylee wore the same except instead of pink, it was teal with white stripes and a white jacket. They say alone for a while then some guy with blonde, medium length hair. He handed Kaylee a white rose, talked a second, and they walked away. I consider walking over to her and talking. I want to dance with her. Just talk to her. But I couldn't.

Later that night, she was still sitting alone, bobbing her head to the music or taping her feet or singing along quietly. I would smile with the new movement or gesture she did. I couldn't stand by any longer so I walked over to her and sat down next to her. She immediately stopped singing and tapping and sat still. "Hi, I'm Mikey." I said shyly. "Uhh. Hi, I'm Malia" she said shyly too. "Would you like to dance with me?" I asked confidently. She smiles and said "sure." and we got up and danced. A slow song was on and we danced till we couldn't then we sat under a tree with lights that twinkled. It was perfect.
