johnnie's pov:

i decided to text her.

j: hey, it's johnnie :)
s: hey there
j: i was wondering if you want to hangout since we don't have any homework?
s: um yeah sure
j: is that okay?
s: yeah haha it's cool XD
j: that's great! i'll pick you up at 7, is this okay?
s: sounds great :)
j: 7 it is then. see you later!
s: see you

i looked at the time on my phone and it says 12:35. i still have 6 hours and 35 minutes left.

i played some random riffs on guitar to kill time.

storm's pov:

i had a new message and it was from johnnie.

that's weird, i haven't thought he would text me so soon?

j: hey, it's johnnie :)
s: hey there
j: i was wondering if you want to hangout since we don't have any homework?

my phone slipped away from my hands.

did he asked me to hangout with him? i never hang out with anyone! what the fuck am i gonna do?! i can't say no, that would be rude.

i took a deep breath and answered with shaky hands.

s: um yeah sure

i just agreed to hangout with johnnie. oh my god. what have i done?!
hopefully my anxiety can calm the fuck down tonight or at least when i'll be out with him.
i still have 6 and a half hours so i opened my phone and played some games.

johnnie's pov:

19:00 pm.

it's time.

i need to calm the fuck down. i've been going around my room in circles for more than 5 minutes now.

i'm wearing a sleeping with sirens t shirt with black skinny jeans and my black converse. my usually black eyeliner but wanted to put some black and red faded eyeshadow today.

i need to go. i got this.

i grabbed my phone and walked to her house. it's only 2 steps away from mine, thank god because when i'm walking for a long time, i'm thinking and thinking and it never ends up good.

i knocked on the door and she greeted me with a smile.

"hey there." i said.

"hey johnnie. i'll grab my phone and we can leave."

"of course." i wasn't sure if she heard me because the next second she was running to a room to take her phone. i'm guessing it's her bedroom.
i didn't even walked inside the house because in the next 2 seconds she was back.

"okay, let's go." she grabbed her keys and i stand there as she locked the door.

we walked down the abandoned park i found a couple of days ago when i move here and we sat down, our backs on the big tree.

"FUCK!!" she yelled after i saw her touching the tree with her right hand... or arm. shit... she did the same mistake as i did.

"STORM! are you okay?!" i tried to see her arm but she didn't let me.

"uh yeah, this tree is so sharp man."

"i know. i got my hand hurt too the first time." i said remembering the pain it caused my wrists.

i saw her placing down her drink and looked at her. her eyes was full of pain and tears were ready to stream down her face.

"hey, hey, it's okay. i'm here yeah?" i went closer to her body hugging her.

"i'm sorry for being such a fuckin crybaby. i'm so annoying, i'm sorry." she repeated the word sorry a couple times.

i placed both of my hands on her cheeks, "stop apologizing. it's gonna be alright." i said with a smile, comforting her.

"t-thanks johnnie." she gave me a weak smile.

after that, it was peaceful and we both were laying our backs to the tree, my arm on her shoulder and her head on my right shoulder.
it felt nice having someone besides you.

an idea popped up to my head.

"do you wanna go? i think i saw a record shop yesterday just down the road."

she flipped her head.

"OMG yes yes yes! i love this shop!!" she clapped her hands together as her eyes were shining bright, acting like a 7 year old child, when his parents would buy them ice cream to make them happy.

"let's go then." i chuckled at her goofiness helping her stand up.

"thanks." she smiled.

i wasn't sure why she thanked me so i just smiled at her.

i don't think i ever talked about her height but her head was on my shoulder and i found that pretty adorable.

"come on! let's goooooo!!" she grabbed my hand trying to get me to run.

"woah chill hahaha!" we both laughed as the the rest of the night passed away. time was passing fast when you had a good company. like really fast.

it was now 20:44 pm and we both bought some records from our favorite bands, which some of them are the same ones, and we got some ice cream also because storm wanted, so as the man here, of course i paid.

we had a great time together and she really is as goofy as me, which is a good thing XD.

hey loves! today johnnie is turning 23 and of course i would post new chapter XD 🖤

he's the reason i found the guts and strength to wear eyeliner and just makeup so he's really helping me until this day to stop being insecure. i'm still working on it since middle school but i'll get there some day 🖤
sorry for this long ass author's note, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LOVELY EMO BOY JOHNNIE GUILBERT 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

cya next chapter!
