Thursday night was boring as usual, I was playing Madden 08 "Come on fucking run!" I yelled at my T. v. when my phone beeped. I flipped open my phone to see 'new email' It was from Natascha.
"what are you doing---at like 6? cause...i want to come over...or have you come here, if you can--so we can talk. because i need to---before tomorrow. please?"
I texted back "K but u gotz ta b gone by lik 10. . . Kk" and went back to playing my game.
The phone beeped again
"uhmm okay--ill probably leave before then cause i don't want it to be extremely late walking back.
its already gonna be dark by the time i get there. Ugh i hate the dark...i hate walking alone...

"call me so i can tell you what trailer is mine" i replied.
"okay" she ended it. I unpaused my game and ran down the field after the receiver. "Fuck!" I yelled as he got a touch down.
My phone rang, "Hello?" I answered
"Hey" Her voice beamed over the phone.
"hey, alright well my house is behind two white houses-you cant see it from the street." I explained still playing my game.
""okay-well ill be there in about an hour and a half. If I get lost and come back I'll call you. If I'm not there in two hours and I haven't called. Call the Cops." She said with a small laugh
"oh god" i replied with a chuckle.
"okay. Ill see you in about an hour and a half. I love you" she said, I could hear the excitement in her voice.
I smiled "okay I love you too" I said hanging up.

I looked at the clock it was 7:35 I didn't bother putting on a shirt or pants on over my basketball shorts. I tossed on my gray and blue Letterman jacket and stepped out on the porch. A few minutes later I saw a light beam walking my way, highlighting the figure of a small girl. I smiled lightly as she stepped into the light of my porch. She was wearing the hoody I gave her, which came down to her knees, I watched her walk up the steps. Poor girl, she looked exhausted.
"Hey" She exhaled
"Hey" i replied wrapping my arms around her slim frame.
"You like my jacket?" I asked smiling
She nodded "I had to disguise myself the best I could"
We walked inside, and I led her to my room.
"oh I brought this for you--but I don't know if I want to give it to you" She said looking up at me motioning a notebook in her hand.
I laughed "What if I steal it?" Taking it from her.
She shrugged and squeezed into my room I followed after her tossing the notebook at the end of my bed and looked at her staring down at her knees. I sat beside her wrapping my arm around her shoulder pulling her towards me. "Now what was so important you had to walk two hours to tell me?" I asked pressing my forehead against her temple. She smelt sweet, I closed my eyes and breathed her in. She was quiet for a moment
"hmm?" I asked her waiting for an answer.
She threw her hands over her face "No--I feel stupid" She mumbled through her sleeves.
I smiled and leaned back a little, she looked up at me quickly her brown bangs falling over her amazing blue eyes, She smiled weakly I tilted my head "Don't feel stupid" I leaned towards her again.
She looked back towards her knees as I nuzzled her cheek lightly, She gave a small sigh and stayed quiet for another long moment. Then started to look up I backed away and looked at her curiously "come on-tell me" I said
She lightly laughed looking down "I'm going to be so mad if I came all this way and cant tell you" She slowly looked back up at me then down at her knees again "So tell me" I whispered biting the top of her ear, I felt her cringe as she tried pulling away from me
She closed her eyes and sighed "What are you doing tomorrow?" She asked
"Amber" I replied not thinking about it, and slowly took my arm from around her.
She stayed silent for a moment taking deep breaths then looked up at me.
Her blue eyes were filled with pain "I know" She said softly.
I studied her face for a moment, She stared at me with those eyes, the deep blue color swallowing me whole like drowning in an ocean.
"you came here to tell me not to see Amber?" I asked
She barely nodded and looked back towards her knees "I just-" She paused saying the next words carefully "dont want you to fuck her" She said hitting the last two words like Ice.
