Abby's p.o.v
"This is a nice shirt," I told ashton, looking down at the dress sized shirt on me.
"Thank you. That's one of my favorite bands," he replied, looking at the greenday logo.
"Me too. You know that song, American Idiot? It's my favorite," I told him.
"Why?" He asked, not just to keep a conversation, but he genuinely cared.
"Because, our society decides who we are. It's like we don't have a choice. I don't want to be another "idiot" based on our society. I want to be me. Society shouldn't decide whether I'm right or wrong. I should," I answered him.
"We don't have a choice, don't we? I'm an outcast. I'm an idiot. But to me, I'm proud of who I am. I don't let myself become fake, like everyone else. And if being different is wrong, then I'm okay saying that I'm the biggest freak in the world, because I know I'm not normal," he replied.
I loved the serious tone in his voice. I feel like even though our society claims we are completely different, I'm popular and he's the outcast, I know that our souls, our minds are truly the same.
"I wish I could just run away. Forget about the social scale and just be myself. I would be much happier," I told him.
He put his hand on my shoulder, looked into my eyes and I didn't know what to do but just stand there, looking back at those eyes.
"We can run away, together. Think about it," ashton suggested, with hope.
"You don't understand. There's a different between 'I wish' and 'I can'. I can't run away. I don't know what would happen. What if I didn't make it?" I replied, completely shocked that he would insist such a thing.
"Don't take things too seriously. Just remember if that one day you really consider leaving, take me with you," he requested.
I couldn't reply, because I was so desperate to kiss him. I needed to stop him from talking any longer. I knew if he continued, he might just convince me to leave, but I can't leave. If we became that close, we would only grow farther apart from each other. If there was a real relationship between us, our hearts would only be broken.
End of Chapter 21
Would you wanna run away too...
