"So where are we going miss fanning?" Kyle asked as he hopped into the drivers seat of his car
"what happened to Hepburn?" the girl asked sitting down in the passengers seat the way she did the previous Wednesday
"i thought you didn't like it" he chuckled
"i don't know i thought it was kind of..." the girl trailed off
"kind of what Hepburn?" he asked with a cheeky grin
he kind of hated himself for acting so boyish around her but he really couldn't help it
"cute" she said quietly
"sorry what was that?"
"i thought i was cute" she mumbled in her hand
"you're gonna have to speak up"
"i thought it was cute you dumb ass! now drive out of this car park and i'll lead you the way"
he stared at her for a second in disbelief with a smile on his face
"i said drive scheible!" And so he went
"you thought something i said was cute" he said proudly
"shut up"
Cartier fanning lead kyle the way untill he saw a blue worn out sign that said 'Hydes Lake'
"OK scheible you're gonna make a right here... and we're here ladies and gents"
"what is this place?"
"i'ts a lake, genius" she said as Kyle rolled his eyes
"Thanks for clarifying!" the pair walked down a massive rock near the water.
"Cartier, how do you even know about this place? I've lived here all my life and have never been here"
the girl sighed, she knew that if she answered she was opening u a little more to Kyle sheible but for some odd reason she answered him
"This was mine and my sister favourite place... she would pick me up everyday from school and we would swim and she would even pack a pick nick sometimes, she was heaven in the form of a girl"
Cartier said as her eyes watered although she didn't let a single tear fall , Kyle didn't want to make the same mistake he did with her Mom on Wednesday night so all he did was sit there and look at her
"two summers ago she was in the car with her drunk dip shit of a boyfriend, the dick ward spun around into a pole and Lola caught all the impact"
Kyle assumed Lola was her sister
"the bastard ran away and hasn't been seen in Sacramento since" Cartier had been staring at the water the whole time not daring to look at him
"i don't know why i'm telling you this, i don't usually burden people with this shit" she said as the moved her hair out of her face and bought her knees up to her chest
"i'm sorry" was all he said, he meant those two words more than he's ever meant them in his whole life
"people always are" he smiled sadly
"what about you, whats your trauma Scheible?"
Kyle doesn't really tell people about his life, likes to keep the mystery alive but the girl had just told him about her life trauma so in a messed up way it was only fair
"My father, he um he has stage 3 lung cancer, been battling for years now, strongest man i know, really" Him and his dad had always been close, and seeing his dad the way he has to see him everyday shattered Kyle's heart Beyond belief
"i'm so sorry Kyle"
"yeah well... people always are" he replies mocking her and she chuckled sweetly
"he seems like a GOAT" she said
"sure is" they chuckled but the laughter slowly died down
"god aren't we a couple if sad cases?" the boy said and the girl nodded
The pair laid on the rock all day telling each other stupid stories making each other laugh. Kyle wasn't the Kyle everyone knew him to be when he was with her and she could tell. He wasn't the same boy with the 'i'm better than everyone else' attitude she met that Monday morning at the deuce, he had real human feelings and he cared, god he cared way too much for his own good... Kyle was changing for her and he didn't know what to make of it.
And although life felt so good at this very moment Kyle shceible knew it was a matter of time before he would come to his senses and realise he could never be good enough for a girl like Cartier Annabelle Fanning and in the back of Cartier's head, she knew it too, maybe boys like Kyle never change and maybe this was just a one time thing and tomorrow it will be same old douche bag Kyle that all of immaculate heart girls and Xavier boys know and not so love.
But them, being careless teenagers pushed that thought far, far aside and enjoyed the moment, acting as if today could last forever
And believe me when I say they really, really, really wish it did
