Lost Kids (a.i.)

nineteen

This, I would never be able to see this from my little window.

----------------------------------

I place the little yellow flower on the window sill of the circular window in the attic. Ashton was down stairs getting dressed. It was nearly three am now. Time flys by, unlike it used to.

I slip down the stair case, leaning on Ashton's door frame. He was digging through his drawers for a shirt. His jeans the only thing wrapping his body. Finally deciding, he tugs on a t-shirt and turns to me awkwardly. I attempt to look distracted, like I had seen nothing, playing with the hem of my light blue skirt.

"Wendy!" He grunts, making my head jolt up.

"What?" I try sounding innocent.

"You can't go out in public like that, they'll recognize you." He explains, relief that he wasn't mad I walked in on his changing. The boy rummages through his closet, pulling out a black fedora and sun glasses. "This isn't much, but here." He says, handing the accessories to me.

"How do I look?" I ask, posing for him.

"Like a million bucks!" He jokes, grabbing his wallet so we can head out again.

As we walk out the white fence, I question him, " Ash, where are we going?".

"The beach." He shoves his large hands into his front pockets. "I though you'd like the view, when the sun rises and all. Does that sound okay?"

"Sounds excellent!" I enlighten him with my excitement. He called from a cab to take us, since the boys didn't own a car. It took us a little to get there, the ride was long. I enjoyed it though, I liked watching the scenery outside the cabs windows. The driver never questioned why two teens were up this early anyways.

When arriving to the closet beach, Ashton led me out to the waters edge. Just a couple feet away from the water, we plop down, making ourselves comfortable in the cool sand. The sun rises in the east, meaning we had to look toward to city to watch the sun nip at the earth's surface. The black sky began to fade to purple, pink, and orange. The sun peaked through the nooks and crannies of the city, streaming out to bring light. It was gorgeous.

"Thanks Bandana Boy." I sigh.

"For what?" His eyes not leaving the city. The golden curls flowing with the slight breeze.

"This, I would never be able to see this from my little window." I smile, my lips pressed together.

"Well I'm glad you enjoyed it, usually I'm not very creative." He chuckles, breaking his stare with the sun.

"Didn't you write some of those songs y'all practice? Those a creative." I take off the sunglasses, no one was here, I didn't need them.

"I only wrote the bad ones." He jokes, beginning to stand up.

"None if them are bad, I like them all." I reach my hand out for assistance getting up. He takes mine in his, pulling me up close.

"We better be going, if we want the rest of the day." He whispers, turning swiftly away from my face, which was very close to his. I nod and we hike back up to the road where the cab is still waiting for us.

We drive back silently, starring out the windows.

{they are cute. I don't know what to put here anymore, no one reads this and I feel like I'm always complaining so bye.}
