Lila's Pov

Jaeden:
"Hey, i'm outside"

I sighed as i read jaeden's text well he's leaving. I quickly headed downstairs as I passed the kitchen mom noticed me. "Hey sweetie why such in a rush?" "Uhhh I'm meeting jaeden outside he-" "it's getting dark it's dangerous outside" "just finish me mom. Jaeden just want to say bye cuz he's leaving for some reason" I said mom nodded then I exit the door and saw him there standing. He's wearing a plain grey shirt with a black hoodie jacket and black denim pants (imagine his outfit on defending jacob). "Hi" "hey" he replied smiling "so what time you're leaving?" "12 am" 12am? what's the point of saying bye at 6pm?

"Then why are you this early?" "So we can hangout, my treat" he simply said. I furrowed my eyebrows my mom wont let me out at this time she would be even mad when i come home at 5:30pm. She's strict just becoz im a girl she thinks that it's not safe to be out at evening. "But my mom wouldn't let me out at 6pm" "come on you can sneak out-" "no," i said crossing my arms i would want to hang out with him but my mom's gonna kill me if she finds out. "Please, I'm leaving and i want to spend time with u while I'm still not leaving" he pleaded with puppy eyes. Why would he want to spend time someone like me? "What if she finds out?" "We wait until your moms asleep so you can sneak out"







"Shh!" I shushed as jaeden let an "ohh" as he almost fell of the slanted roof but i quickly caught him. "You okay?" "Yeah im fine" i opened my window and let myself in and so is jaeden. "Woah" he started to walk around my room with full of posters of my favourite bands. "I expected your room to be glittery and girly but i guess I'm wrong"  i chuckled.

He lays down my bed and patted next to him. I awkwardly walked up to him and lay down. We just stared up the ceiling as a comfortable silence filled the air. "Do you have any friends?" He suddenly asked turning his head towards me. "Her names freya, we've known eachother since we were born, our mothers are close and we used to hang out until she graduated from highschool and had to move to chicago. But we're still the same even though she's busy with her projects but she still manageto reach out for me" I explained looking back at him "how about you?" "They're alot of them but they live farther and ofc the losers, we still hang" he said "and you ofc how can i forget" i laughed happy he got to call me 'his friend' well I guess because of him I never felt so lonely until i met him and since freya's not here.

We talked about our lives until a knock was heard on the door. I panicked and told jaeden to hide inside the closet so he did. I opened the door and saw my mom on her pajamas. "Hey mom" i breathed heavily "I'm going to sleep now and you should too honey" she said as she kissed my forehead just then we heard a loud thud from the closet. "Um what was that?" Mom furrowed her eyebrows and was about to check it but i quickly stand infront of her "no mom that was my clothes I didn't fold it properly so ig it fell and scatters in the closet" "it happens everytime" i stated hoping she'll believe me she yawned "well you better do it properly. fix your clothes and go to sleep" she said as she closed the door. Phew "she's gone" i called out he managed himself out the closet "what was that about" i said "oh your closet crushed my fingers when i closed it and my elbow accidentaly hit the sides when i flinched" he said i laughed at his stupidity "can we go now?" He asked "sure"

We quietly go through the window and jaeden was the first to jump off "jump" he called i look through the ground it wasn't that high but I'm too scared to jump off. "Don't be a baby, hurry you don't want to get caught" he said "ill catch you". I closed my eyes and jumped and then a pair of arms caught me i opened my eyes and met by his beautiful green eyes. They were sparkling I could stare at them for longer. We both shook our heads when we realized we've been staring at each other for a while. He gently put me down and we started walking down the sidewalk "so where are we going?" I asked "spray paint" "huh?" "Let's spray paint every walls" he said with excitement "are u crazy? We're gonna get arrested" "come on live a little. Besides I've done this with the losers plenty of times" "fine"
