Gunner

Beautiful

Lily

Tears stream down my face as I stare at the graveyard that I try to avoid.

But some routes, I can't.

And I'm stuck in traffic.

A car speeds past me, but I don't pay attention.

Not until minutes later a familiar boy knocks on my window.

"Still stuck?" he laughs and I roll down my window, quickly wiping my tears, but he notices. "What's wrong, beautiful?" he opens the door.

"Nothing" I fake a smile.

"Come on" he pulls me out of the car.

"The traffic, Gun!" I exclaim and he picks me up bridal style.

"Come here, I want you to see something" he leads me down the hill and into the cemetery.

"Gunner, stop!" I cry.

He adjusts me. "We all have our places we don't want to relive, this is yours"

"Gun, I cant. It hurts" I try to get out of his grip, but he places me by my parents gave. "Gun-"

"I don't have a family, beautiful. You do and always will. I want you to visit then, something I wish I had to courage to do with mine" he puts his hands on my shoulders from behind me.

"How did you know they're here?" I put my hands over his huge ones for comfort.

He rests his chin on my head. "I'm an Archer. I know things"

"What's your avoided place?" I ask softly.

He gets silent. "I don't like to talk about it"

"Well, I'm here for you" I turn to him and place my hands on his sides. "Just know that"

"Thank you, beautiful" he kisses his my forehead. "Wanna head to my place?"

"Are you sure?" I nervously ask. "I don't want to be a burden"

"You're my girlfriend, you never will be" he winks and picks me up.

I smile.

He walks me to his car, completely forgetting my car in traffic, and sits me in the passengers, putting the seatbelt over me.

"Thank y-"

I'm cut off but the door slamming in my face. I sigh. He hops into the drivers side and put the car in drive.

And like that, he speeds off like a speed demon.

No wonder he put my seatbelt on for me.

I look out the window and my hand is grabbed and held. "Hey, calm down, yeah?"

I look at him. "I'm just... nervous"

"I know you are" he chuckles. "I'm not kidnapping you or raping you. I'm not Ted Bundy, beautiful"

"I know. But uh, why does your car literally smell like cum?" I raise an eyebrow.

He looks at me then ahead. "How do you know what cum smells like, virgin?"

"Okay" I turn to my window and pout.

"Okay" he shrugs.

I roll my eyes and pull out my phone.

No notifications, as always.

I hear a ding and slyly look over at Gunner's phone.

Carla :
Where are you?! I book this hotel room for us and you don't show up?!
