The Summer We First Met

Skin on Skin

Madelyn:
What do you want from me?

I bite my nail impatiently waiting for a message back.

Unknown:
You;)

I roll my eyes getting frustrated that I wasn't getting anywhere.

Madelyn:
I'm being serious, what do you want from me? You clearly know who I am, where I live, and following me. So why are you doing this?

Unknown:
Because you'll be an important roll in this little game. Now we are gonna do a little something, an answer for an answer. We'll go back and forth.

Madelyn:
What's the catch?

Unknown:
There is none Princess.

Madelyn:
Fine, what's your name?

Unknown:
Let's just say you'll figure out who I am soon enough.

I'm never going to any answers over text.

Unknown:
My turn, how much do you know about Silver and his fighting?

Madelyn:
I don't know anything about it...

Unknown:
If you're going to lie, expect my answers to be lies too.

I chew on my fingernails nervously if i would get Miles in trouble. Everything about this seemed suspicious, the run-in with the guy from Arizona, two guys following me, or maybe I was just being overdramatic.

Madelyn:
Fine, I know he's just a good fighter.

Unknown:
And do you know him personally?

Madelyn:
It's not your turn to ask questions, why am I important to you?

Unknown:
Princess, this all goes way beyond fighting. Welcome to the world of gangs

"Hey, I have another fight today, do you wanna go?" Miles says as he lays down on my bed with me. I tuck my phone under me.

What do I say? I mean it would help me understand better who this unknown person is.

"Yeah sure I would love to," I respond back.

I feel his arm snake around my waist and he pulls me to face him.

He brushes strands of hair out of my face, "What's wrong?" I watch as Miles eyes bounce around my face.

I unwrap Miles arm from my waist to straddle him, abs set his hands on my hips, "Nothing, just nervous for senior year."

"I'm sure you'll do good," Miles reassures.

"But what about college for me," I look down at Miles chest.

His large hand cups my cheek making me look at him, "We are going to figure it out together."

I slowly nod hoping what he said was true. He pulls me close into him, "We got this okay, we will be okay."

I look down at my phone that was at my side, feeling the vibration under me my head taunts me: will we though?

"Any of you coming?" Miles looks over his shoulder as he stands in the doorway.

"I will!" Luke jumps to his feet.

"I'm fine," Harper calls out from the couch.

"Same here," Dylan turns to look at all of us standing in the doorway now.
