Part 12: Secret Hideout

We kept walking and we got to the woods. We went into the woods and kept walking. "Do you know where we are even going?" "Yeah we are almost there." We kept walking and got to the old school that was abandoned, but not in a creepy way. It was peaceful like an old woman who laid down and accepted death to raid her body. We walked inside and he led me up some old worn down stairs. "So this is where you like to hang out huh?" "Yeah especially at night. You should see it when the sun sets." "Ok I will." "Wait how long are you staying?" "How ever long you want me to I don't know." The stairs stopped half way up. He jumped upstairs and helped me up. "How long has this place been here?" "It's been here as long as I've been alive. When I was ten I was walking through the woods because my parents don't care what I do. I found it here and decided to stay here all day and that's when I saw the sunset here for the first time. So I stay here now and no one knows about it…. well now you do. You can come here whenever you want just please don't tell anyone." "Don't worry I won't… this place is peaceful…. I can see why you come here." "Yeah it's nice…. but it's nicer with you here." I started to blush. "Oh shut up…." "What? Did I say something haha." He said that in the most sarcastic voice. He knew what he said. "Stop being so cheesy." "Awe, but I like being cheesy haha." I couldn't help but laugh at his quirkiness. He was adorable and I loved it. "My God how did I get so lucky as to have found a girl like you. Tell me did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" "Well no…. but I did scrape my knee crawling out of hell." He started laughing really hard. It was great. "You always surprise me… I never know what you're going to say." "So what do you do when you come here? Do you just hang out. Doesn't it ever get lonely? What do you do about food?" "You ask a lot of questions. I just hang out, I do whatever I want. It can be lonely, but I like being alone because at school I'm surrounded by everyone it seems like. For food I build a fire and catch fish from the nearby lake." "Oh…. what about the bathroom." "Wow you have no shame haha." "Hey you gotta do what you gotta do haha." "Yeah, normally if I have to go I just pulled down my pants and go, but for number 2 I dig a hole." "Oh nice haha." It was nice just talking to him and hanging out. No one to tell us what to do. No one to yell at us. No Trinity. No Zayden. Just me and Dexter. It was hard to believe that hours had gone by from when we first got there and the sun had already started to set. I could stay there forever. "Hey sand up look at the sun set." I stared out the gaping hole through the wall and saw the most beautiful sun set. The yellow blended into orange and red and faded into a purple and melted into the sky. The lake reflected a perfect copy of it. I felt an arm come around my waste. Dext pulled me into his chest from behind. I leaned into him still mesmerized by the sun set. We sat down and I fell asleep in his arms.
