I've told mum about the two of us dating. In factly, she surprised me with her reaction when I told her about it. She knew that we were going to happen, she noticed the love in my eyes when I looked at him and vice versa. I didn't even realise that there was love in his eyes the whole time! I guess I was oblivious about it.
A month has past and we've been together for that long. It's like time goes by real fast when you're in love. Before I know it, I'm going to be a hundred and have a lot of great-grandkids and still be in love with my soulmate.
I was fast asleep in bed when I heard a tap at my window. I went to ignore it since mum usually does that to check to see if I'm asleep. The tapping when on again and I groggily open my eyes. I went to rub the sleep out of my eyes as I check to see that the time was exactly midnight.
The tapping noise got my attention again and I saw a figure outside of my window. Knowing it was Luke, I got up and opened the window."What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be asleep?"I whisper shout.
"Nah, I had a perfect idea for our first date."I heard him smile. That got my attention as I'm now wide awake."What? Shouldn't that be during the day and not midnight?"I tell him.
"It's now Saturday morning, we got time. And I'm not like those people, I go by my own time. Plus I like doing crazy shit at night."
"Luke, you are really crazy. But I'll just go ahead to change."
"But you like it." he tease.
I giggle as I threw on a black shirt and jeans, along with my Converse. I'm not even sure if the shirt has letterings on it since my room is dark at this moment. I threw on the beanie since I'm too lazy to brush my hair.
I climb out of the window, Luke help me as I shut it and we start walking.
I look over at him and noticed he was carrying a small bag."What's in the bag?"I ask. He looks at the bag he was carrying in his hand."Just wait, that's for later. First, we should grab a snack, I don't know about you, but I'm hungry."
Now that he mentioned snacks, I am a little hungry since dinner didn't really fill me up. I felt my stomach rumble a little as I place my hand on top of it.
Not long we entered a run down convenience store. The now beige tile flooring dirty from dirt, the yellow walls seem to get darker each year since no one bothered to freshen up the place. Red cursive signs hung all around, promised for quality food for the customers. I bet you that they don't even bother doing that after 2005, old indie music quietly playing from the speakers as the only cashier was flipping through a magazine.
Luke open the bag and start snatching snacks into his bag."What are you doing? You need to pay for them!"I quietly scold him.
"Why should I? They aren't even worth the price." he shrugged while pulling the strings for the bag to close.
We head out of the store and start walking down the street. He opens the bag and tosses me a bag of candy."Aw, you remembered my favourite candy."I smile.
"Duh, it's not that hard."
I start eating the candy that Luke stole for me. I love having these moments with Luke, just the two of us in the night. I still get anxious that one day mum will catch me not being in bed at a certain time. But now all I want to do is just be right beside Luke.
"Whoa, slow down Bambi!"Luke's voice chuckles from down the sidewalk. I stopped and realised that I left Luke all away in the back and I'm walking faster than he is. I don't even know where we are going.
I waited until he caught up with me."I'm glad that you are excited on what we're going to do next."
"Which is?"
"All we have to do is turn left on this corner and we'll be at the destination."
We stopped at an alley, there was a streetlight to let us see inside the alley. It was covered with years of graffiti and trash."What are we doing?"I ask once again.
"Graffiti, that's why I have the bag for." he said.
"What if we get caught by the police?"I ask him, anxiety fill my brain of the thought of being behind the cruiser. That's been my worst nightmare, the last place I'll ever want to be.
"Ash, you have to chill, we are going to be legends. As long as we are quiet and don't cause a scene, then we won't get caught by the police. I would let you run if we do." he assured me in the most sincere way.
I still wasn't too sure about this, he pulls out a bottle of spray paint and handed it to me. I was hesitant at first before I grasp it out of his hands. He pulls one out for himself and began to shake it.
I watch him as he sprays random doodles on the building."Are you going to join in?" he asked when he noticed I wasn't doing anything.
I gulp before shaking the can and went to spray on the wall.
"You have to draw something,"
"Like what?"
"I don't know, whatever you want. You can quote song lyrics if you want. That's what I'm doing." he shrugs.
I sprayed a few smiley faces until all the anxiety went away. I start having fun after awhile; we had competitions to see who could do the funniest graffiti on here. I look and saw him spray, Nobody likes you when you're 23..... I had a feeling it was from blink-182.
I spray some questions that might even question the authorities. After a while, I was sitting down on the ground as I watched as he was concentrating on his artwork. He was biting down on his tongue, so I got up to see what he was doing.
My heart flutters when I saw him draw a huge arrow heart with our initials inside it."What do you think of our date so far?" he asks when he took a step back.
"Adventurous, very rebellious as well. Different than what I had in mind."I tell him.
"With me, I can be unpredictable at times. I don't do normal shit, unlike other people."
"I admit, I like being with you."I blush. He looks over at me and smiles."So do I. Even though we are two different people, yet we are doing the same thing."
"But are you positive that we won't get caught?"I ask him.
"I'm definitely positive about it. So far we didn't get caught."
Suddenly we heard someone shout,"Freeze!" My heart rate quicken as I slowly put up my hands."Ah, shit,"Luke curse under his breath.
"Put your hands behind your back, you guys are going to ride the backseat since the two of you broke the law for vandalism." the police report as he clips the handcuffs on our wrists.
He took us to the police cruiser and put us in the back. Anxiety was taken over my body as I was mentally freaking out about this situation.
One of the cops starts driving to the station as the other turns back to look at us."I would need your name and age please." the police points his pen at me.
I gulp before nervously replied,"A–Ashton Irwin, eighteen years old." my worst nightmare came to life and all I wanted to do is cry, but I wanted to look tough so I went to bite the inside of my cheek to refrain from freaking out."Luke Hemmings, eighteen." he casually reports to the police.
"Ah, look who came back, James. Hemmings is back from vandalising again." the police told the other.
"Welcome back, so nice that you love us." the other one respond to Luke with his voice dripping with sarcasm.
I look over at Luke, he was staring at the ground. I started getting angry at him since he told me that everything's going to be okay and that we won't get caught by the cops. But here we are, in a cruiser and he's been caught twice for vandalism!
He went to look at me, but I went to look away. I can't even believe him right now.
It was a quiet drive until we arrived at the station. The two cops walked us to our cell, unlocked the handcuffs that were clinging onto our wrists and locked the bars behind them. Leaving the two of us behind bars.
I went to sit on the bed and stare at the ground, trying to take in the fact that I'm behind bars with Luke. At one thirty in the morning! I can feel Luke staring at me, wanting to talk but doesn't know if I'm pissed off at him or not.
"I didn't want to be in here,"I mumble, breaking the silence between us. He went to look at me, for me to continue on.
"I trusted you, Luke. I trusted you that we wouldn't get caught by the police, I believed that we wouldn't. But here we are, in a jail cell at one thirty in the morning. And you were confident enough that we wouldn't be in here even though you got caught before! What did you tell the other person? That you wouldn't let them get caught and yet you two ended up in here?"
I look over at him to see his now glossy eyes trail to look at the ground.
"Now my mum is going to kill me because I'm in jail with you. She likes you Luke, and so do I. I don't want her to rethink that and us not being together. She has a lot of trust in me and one simple mistake like this can damage the whole thing! I don't even know what to say right now since I'm so fucking angry at you. I'm so fucking angry, I want to punch you in the face."
He remain in the same position on the small wooden chair, his arms folded across his chest, his right ankle overtop his left as he stare at the ground."Might as well kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face. The pain would be worse."
"Alrighty, one call for the both of you so you can wake up your parents to pick you up. Irwin, this is your free trial. Hemmings, your parents have to pay a fine to bail you out." one police inform us while unlocking the jail cell.
We quietly went to a room where all the telephones were at. I take a deep breath as I slowly pick one up, I felt Luke put mine back."I guess that I'm going to call Owen so that he can take the both of us home. I don't want your mum to scream at you for something I did."
"I thought you hate Owen?"
"I still do, I just don't want mum to know that I was in jail again. Last time she had to bail me out." he sadly informs me before picking up his telephone and went to dial the number.
I went to sit on the bench and wait for him to finish up on his phone call. So much for a date, I thought to myself. I'd never thought I would end up in jail, but here I am.
"Well," Luke's voice breaks me from my thought."Owen isn't really happy about this, but he's willing to pick us up when he gets home from work."
"How long would that be?"I flatly asked with one eyebrow raised up.
"Ten minutes."
I got up and sat in the corner of the room, even though I'm still talking to him, I'm still extremely pissed off at him. I think he noticed that back when I had that little speech in the cell.
We were like this until Owen came in and paid to bail Luke out."Make sure you keep those boys from getting into trouble again." the police told Owen as the three of us walk out of the station.
"Ashton won't do it again, I'm just hopeless with you, Luke."
He stared at the ground the whole ride home as well."You can pull into your driveway, I'm comfortable with walking my way back home."I quietly inform Owen.
He pulled into the driveway as we all got out of his car."Thank you, Owen,"I inform him. "You're welcome," he smiles before I start walking back to my house.
I can feel Luke staring at me as I quietly crept through my house. Just making sure no one is awake or waking them up. The last thing I need is for mum to yell at me why I'm out past curfew.
I went to my room and changed back into my pyjamas. I crawl into bed and tried to go back to sleep. Even though my brain is busy replaying scenes of being in the station with Luke and being angry at him.
I just now noticed that's been the quietest he's ever been. I'd never seen him looking that sad over something.
I shake the thoughts out of my head and tried my hardest to go back to sleep.
