29. This number is longer than my future
Play the song NOW
Its just one more chance by bing Crosby. It fits good, and i like the vibe of old songs :)
"So... Happy birthday, ryan!", brendon said, smiling next to me. We were still covered in his jacket, which was warm and smelled like Brendon.
"Thanks", I mumbled looking at the ground.
"There's a park, we could sit there? At that time there won't be that much people anymore", Brendon suggested.
"Yeah, we can do that."
So we sat down on one of the cold benches, and Brendon was right, nobody was here except us.
I took a look at the sky and smiled, it was pitch black except the few stars shining. Even the moon was to be seen.
"Beautiful, right?", Brendon asked.
"Huh?"
"The stars are shining at us", he said.
"Probabaly they are, maybe they're saying the same thing about us?", I said.
"What?"
"I mean, what if there are two stars looking at the sky and seeing the world shine at them?"
"That's a beautiful thought, eventhough it's impossible", he said.
"Don't kill the moment, Brendon", I chuckled, causing him to laugh.
It became silent again, just us and the stars at the firmament, spending us the light to see.
"I thought about what you said", Brendon slowly began.
I turned my head to him with a hopeful look on my face.
"I know you wouldn't lie to me..., but it's surreal. You know that this is impossible, and I don't have a reason why you should lie to me, you know?", he said, scratching the back of his neck, "so look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't lie."
"I didn't lie, Brendon", I said looking straight into his eyes.
"...so does that mean, that we just have time till February?", he asked, his voice breaking.
"That's true", I mumbled.
"Will you leave? You said you can choose, so will you leave?", he asked, a glim of hope in his eyes, that made my heart slowly break.
"I- I will probably go.... I have family there and... what about Susan and Spencer? I grew up with them, they're like my siblings... And my parents, I miss them so fucking much", I said, a tear rolling down my cheek.
"I understand", he said, "I think I would've done the same."
"You're not mad?", I asked.
"No, it's the right thing to do. I'm sad and mad and angry, but not of you, of that situation. I love you, Ryan. It's gonna be hard when you leave", he said, his eyes starting to water.
"I love you too, but let's not talk about that, let us enjoy everything! The time we have left", I said kissing his cheek.
"So.... you said you're from the future, what does the future look like?", he asked.
"Uhm... It's kinda the same except the technology changed and how people are connected with each other", I told him.
"Oh, alright. And the songs you were always humming... these are new songs right? That's why I didn't know them", he asked.
"Yes, I had to be careful around you guys with what I'm saying", I chuckled.
"Wow. I fell in love with a time traveller", he laughed.
"You make me sound like some insane idiot", I said grinning.
"Do you think we'll see each other again after you're gone?", Brendon asked looking into my eyes. The stars were mirrored in his chocolate brown eyes.
"Maybe one day", I said, " but I guess. Maybe we have to make our way across the universe like the stars do to find us again", I said.
"Yeah, maybe", he said smiling bright.
"Lets do something!", I said standing up.
"What do you have in your mind?", he asked, with a shy smile on his lips.
"I don't know! We can do what ever we want. We can go to the city, or just walk around", I said pointing at the street about 100 meters away from us.
"But it's getting dark", Brendon chuckled.
"And? Nothing will happen to you, believe me", I said holding my hand out.
He sat there, staring at my hand, think about whether to go with me or not. Honestly I didn't know how dangerous my idea actually was. Two young teenage boys walking around the streets at night.
He took a deep breath and fortunately shook my hand and laid his arm around me to keep me warm. Our faces were close to each other, I could feel his warm breath against my skin, causing shivers send down my spine.
"Alright, let's do this", he whispered in my ear. I got goosebumps by his raspy and deep voice at my ear.
And with that said we walked down the street to the more alive places of the city. Music was playing in the distance, people were laughing, dancing, talking.
It felt good being here under people who just enjoyed the night the same way we did.
But this time I didn't make the same mistake as everytime I go out. I pulled out my phone and quickly wrote Susan and Spencer a massage, that I'm going out with Brendon tonight.
"Even though I love being so close to you, but it's getting slightly cold outside", I said, my teeth starting to chatter.
"Oh, right. Let's buy you a jacket then", he said, pulling us both into the mall.
I immediatly noticed the temperature differences, eventhough it was still colder than usual. The light was more cold and more bluish than outside.
"How long is this mall open?", I asked.
"24 hours per day... so basically it never closes", he chuckled.
"Sounds great", I said grinning at him.
We both walked to a shop I don't remember the name of, but it had nice clothes in there. I put on a pastel blue and fluffy sweater over my t-shirt. I and out of the cabin and hugged myself looking at Brendon.
"It's so comfortable and cuddly, Brendon", I mumbled.
"You look so cute", he laughed, putting his strong arms around my body.
"Wait, let me check the price so I can but it and then we'll go, alright?", I said, causing him to nod.
"Yeah, it looks really good on you, you should definitely buy it!", he said.
I did as I said and looked at the price, but when I saw the number I nearly forgot how to breath.
"This number is longer than my future", I whispered under my breath.
"What?"
"It's too expensive, bren", I said, already wanting to put the sweater off myself, but Brendon stopped me.
"How much?", he asked, so I showed him the number.
"Oh, I thought you meant something like 50$, but 149,98$ for a fucking sweater. I'm sorry, but I don't have that much money, I just have 35$", he said.
"It's alright, let's find a different one", I said, but Brendon pulled it back on me again.
"Wait, Ryan. You look really cute in it", he whispered.
"Brendon, what do you have in mind?"
"What if we just run out of the shop when No one will notice?", he asked with a smirk on his face I honestly have rarely seen before on him.
"But-but, what if we get caught?", I asked, too distracted by brendons little smirk.
"We won't. Let me distract the cashier and then you'll just run, alright?", he said, but I shook my head.
"Come on, ry. Let's do something crazy and you said to yourself that you like the sweater, so... I'll give you a signal for you to run, ok?", he suggested.
"But what if-"
Brendon laid his finger over my lips to keep my mouth shut. He still had the little smirk on his face, causing my knees to go weak.
"Just trust me, alright?", he whispered into my ear and if I couldn't do anything else I just nod.
"Good", he whispered, his smirk just getting brighter.
"Alright", he began, "I'm gonna talk to the cashier and when I tap my feed on the ground twice, you're running away, I'm coming with you."
"You always tap your feed on the ground", I said, causing him to sign.
"Alright then.... you know what, you'll know when you can start to run", he said, "deal?"
"Deal", I said, eventhough I knew this was wrong.
Brendon walked quietly over to the cashier and started talking to him.
I just casually looked at all of the different clothes here.
I carefully looked at Brendon, who was still talking, but stopped when the shoe shelve 'accidentally' fell.
Then everything went really fast, the cashier was shocked and tried to grab the shoes and Brendon quickly ran away, after grabbing my arm and pulling me with him.
We didn't think of stopping, is he behind us?
"Where are we running?", I asked, while continue to run.
"There's a photo booth!", he said pulling me behind the small curtain into the box.
We heard stepfoots running past the booth, causing Brendon and me to giggle.
"We're going to get arrested, bren", I said still laughing.
"Nah, I don't think so. We just have to run quickly out of the mall", he said.
"But we're in a photo booth", I said smirking.
"Alright", he said, "Lets take some photos then, so you can bring them with you and you'll never forget about this."
I nod and we posed for a few photos. We kissed, we smiled, we laughed and made grimaces.
He wanted to stand up put I pulled him next to me again, causing him to narrow his eyes.
"What-"
I interrupted him by giving him a soft kiss on his lips. He seemed to be shocked at first, but kissed back slowly. The kiss got more intense by the time and I think we sat here for over 5 minutes just kissing each other.
It felt good, feeling his plumb lips against mine again. I missed this so damn much and I don't know how I am supposed to live without this.
But instead of think about what would happen, I just turned my brain off and let my heart enjoy this moment.
He pulled away slowly, a smile appearing on his face. His cheeks were fire red, causing me to smirk.
"I think we should go out of here, maybe someone else waits outside", I whispered causing him to nod.
We stepped out of the small cabin and saw that no one stood in front of it, but we still wanted to search for another place to stay.
Brendon took the photos we shot and handed me two of the four.
"Here, one of us kissing for me and you and this one is also for you", he said, handing me the two pictures.
The first one showed us kissing, and the second one showed us laughing. It were beautiful pictures, I just started at Brendon. He's so gorgeous, I'm happy to know him.
"What are you thinking of?", Brendon asked.
"Nothing", I said putting the photos into my pockets, "Lets get out of here."
And we did as I said, we both walked out of the mall into the cold. My sweater held me comfortable warm.
"Alright", Brendon began, "where to go now?"
We heard music play in the distance silently. It was elder, dancy music.
"Lets follow the music", I said, taking brendons hand to pull him over to the crowd of dancing people. Just now I realised this was a party. Many drinks and food was standing on a big table.
"What is this?", I asked.
"Oh, this is a small party this place here has, they celebrate this once every year. Mum, Katie and I went her once, it was really funny", I mumbled, sunken in his thoughts.
"Then maybe we should join!", I said, already walking over to the table with food.
Brendon followed me, trying not to loose me in the crowd of dancing people.
"Here", I said, handing him a glass with water in it, "drink this, otherwise you'll get a headache sooner or later, we didn't drink that much so far."
"Thanks, but that's not alcohol, isn't it?", he asked with an arisen eyebrow.
"No, it isn't. It's normal water. We're both not 21 yet, since the party I wouldn't drink it anyway. The feeling in the morning after isn't worth it", I said pressing my lips together.
"True", Brendon said, "I had the feeling my head was exploding!"
"Will you dance with me, sir?", I asked with a British accent, holding my hand out. I tried to look as chill as possible, but in the inside I was nervous.
"I would love to do that, sir", he responded, his head up high, causing me to giggle.
We both joined the dancing crowd, going under. This reminded me of the day we danced to dream a little dream of me a few months ago. This was so long ago.... It feels like it just happened yesterday. The time flies by faster than I would like it to.
"You alright?", he asked.
"I'm just thinking about how fast the time flies by. I don't want it to end", I mumbled looking at the ground.
"Hey, it's ok. Just enjoy this moment", he said lifting my chin with his finger, "or are my shoes more interesting then I am?", he asked smirking at me.
"Maybe", I responded, grinning, causing him to laugh.
"Have you heard of-
Brendon was cut off, by two boys pulling us away from the crowd. I was petrified, what was going on?
"Hey! Stop it!", Brendon screamed, when they brought us to a quiet place behind the trees. The grip of the boy holding me was strong, I couldn't get out of it.
"What the fuck is going on?", my boyfriend asked next to me.
Only now I saw the boys faces. It were Anderson and one of his friends. The boys who kept calling Brendon names, and the one I told to shut the fuck up.
"Look who we have here!", Anderson said with a grin on his face, "the two fags of the school."
"What do you want?", I asked, more hissing at him.
"Oh... Nothing... really", he said, still this nasty grin on his face, "I just didn't really like the way you talked to me in school, you know? I was embarrassed in front of the whole school, just because of you."
I wanted to run away, but two unknown boys came from behind. We didn't have a chance against them.
"Look, can't we just talk this out? I mean, we both kinda have a point, don't you think?", I asked, already regretting it.
"Yeah... that's a clever idea, what do you guys think?", Anderson laughed, "do you think I'm stupid?"
"No not at all", I lied. Yes I did think be was stupid, but I didn't want to earn a punch.
"Good For you", the other boy whispered with narrowed eyes.
"So you two are madly in love aren't you?", Anderson asked, "who could resist this sweet, adorable boy, right?", he grabbed brendons chin harsh, smirking at him.
"Let him be! He didn't do anything!", I said, causing Anderson to let go of brendon, leaving red marks on brendons chin.
"What did you say?"
"This is just a thing between us, this doesn't involve Brendon, so if you're angry, then go and harm me but don't put a finger on him!", I said, my blood boiling in myself.
"Awww, look at that, isn't this cute?", the boy asked, "Well if you want me to harm you, I can't say anything against it."
And with that said his fist flew against my cheek, causing me to stumble back, but the other boys still held me in their grip. My head began to feel dull and heavy.
"See, this is what happens when you say something against me!", he said, "I think I know how to hurt you, Ryan."
Then he started punching Brendon next to me, heavy. He fell back, blood running down his face. I wanted to scream when I saw Brendon hurt, but Anderson was faster. He threw his fist a second time against my cheek
And as if that wasn't enough, another punch came, followed by more and more, I stopped counting. I felt a warm liquor running down my face. It became hard to keep my eyes open.
The ground under me began to become closer, but something held me away from it.
"No! You fucking bastard!", I heard someone scream next to me. I assumed it was Brendon.
Then I couldn't quit hear anything around me except dulled screams and my own heartbeat.
I heard sirens in the distance, causing the boys to finally run away. The boy who held me, let go of me and followed the rest, causing me to fall on the ground. My knees were weak.
Next to me laid Brendon, his cheeks covered in blood.
Blood.
I hate blood.
I wanted to walk over to him, but my body was too heavy, everything was too heavy.
The last thing I saw before passing out were red and blue lights shining at the ground.
Blood.
I hate blood, but it was everywhere.
****
Sorry that this chapter came late :/
Do you want me to draw Susan, so you can picture her, or do you want me to leave it be, because it doesn't matter how she looks like, because you already pictured her as someone?
<3
