The Girl Who Lived

Fight

I then kissed him and he kissed me back until we were breathless, I don’t remember when I lost my clothes or when he lost him but all of our clothes ended up on the floor next to the bed. When we were finished making each other feel good we both laid on our backs breathless. I then said “wow” and meant it. He looked at me and asked “are you okay? You looked a little flushed”. I looked at him and said “ I’m fine... Actually, I’m great” I say with a smile on my face and he looks at me some more and says “okay then we should get some sleep we have a lot of driving to do tomorrow. At that, I curl up beside him and we spoon while we sleep. I slept the whole night without a single nightmare and it was good. When we woke up the next morning he was awake before me but he didn’t move until I was awake not wanting to wake me and all. When I woke up I asked if he was watching me sleep and he said: “no that would be…” “Creepy,” I said. “Right and I wouldn’t do anything that crazy. I just looked at him and smiled and said “rr...ight” he then said, “do you want the first shower or do you want the second shower?” I looked at him disappointed with my options then he added or “do you want to take a shower together” as if he could read my thoughts and I said “ together if you want to” and he said “ sounds good to me” and we got into the shower and when we were finished we got dressed and paid the bill and left. We went on the road again for hours and we just talked about nonsense for hours on end, when we finally stopped for lunch we got out of the car and there was Mouse and his girlfriend with two cops talking. When Mouse pointed to us the cops came over and said: “Hello are you Mary Graver and Jake Hollister?” I looked at them and said “yes why are we in trouble officer?” he looked at us and said, “that depends how old are you two?” Jake spoke first and said “ 19” the cops then said “and you?” and I said “18” The cops said “then you both are not in any trouble but you sir” as he pointed to Mouse “are in trouble for lying to a police officer” and Jake looked at Mouse and said “maybe next time you should mind your own business” Mouse then punched him in the nose and Jake started bleeding and I said “Oh My God are you okay?” Jake looked at me and said, “ I’m fine ugh”. I looked at him and said to the police officers “can we go?” they said “yes”. I brought Jake into the bathroom and helped him clean up his nose after we got lunch and we were back on the road. Jake said, “Thank you for what you did back there that meant a lot to me.” I asked, “what did I do?” He said “You said something that made me not punch him back hard. I could’ve been arrested for that since I’m a troubled teen and all.” I looked at him and looked at him and finally said, “ I don’t think you are a troubled teen.” He then just smiled but he didn’t say anything else. We traveled along in silence for a long time, until we entered Boston and Jake finally said: “ we are almost there.” “Almost where?” I asked
