I was never the kind of person to take risks.

I thoroughly planned and thought out even the smallest things. To the point where it was unhealthy. People always called me 'mature for my age' and 'incredibly gifted', which basically just translated to 'extremely anxious and wildly depressed'. In my opinion, the only thing I had ever been 'gifted' in was overthinking.

Then, I met Hinata. After only hanging out twice, I began to romanticize his reckless, adventurous lifestyle. I felt like the main character in my own major motion picture when I hung out with him. Like I was actually experiencing life the way I was meant to.

Which is why I said yes to him. 

The old me never would have done something so stupid. The old me was smart. The old me didn't make poor choices without considering the consequences. The old me wouldn't be in the middle of fucking nowhere right now.

It was probably 2 in the morning when I heard a knock on my window. I immediately knew it was Hinata. But when I opened the window to greet him, something was wrong.

His eyes were red and shimmery, as though he had just been sobbing. His cheeks were rosy and there were tear stains on his face. His nose was bleeding and his lips were busted. He looked like a scared animal, backed into a corner. I wanted more than anything to pull him in and hug him, showering him and little kisses and asking what's wrong. But instead I just stared at him. His puffy lips quivered as he let out a quiet "Hey dork."

"Hey," I said, helping him into my room. 

He turned to me, a crazed look on his face. 

"Kageyama, let's get out of this shitty town. Life has so much more to offer us than this suburban bullshit, I can just feel it. Just you and me against the world, Kageyama. We can go into the city and see the lights and just disappear! We can start a new life together, just you and me. No one has to know where we went. We don't have to tell a soul. It's just gonna be us. How does that sound?" He said.

I didn't know what to say.

On one hand, the logical side of me was screaming 'Kageyama, this is insane. Hinata is clearly going through something right now and it's wrong to fuel his breakdown. He's manic and he needs help.' 

But something else inside of me screamed louder, saying 'Go be with the boy you love Kageyama. Live your life without regrets. Go. Go. Go.'

So I looked into Hinata's beautiful, shiny brown eyes and made my decision.

"That sounds amazing Hinata."
