Shattered Glass and Memories

~*~Two Hours Later~*~

“Has anyone seen Craig?” I questioned. After I told everyone that Ronnie and I weren’t dating, he had disappeared.

“Not really. I stopped paying attention,” Kaylee replied from her spot on Max’s lap. I rolled my eyes and stood from the floor where I was playing Halo 3 with Monte. I don’t know why I agree to play, I don’t even know how to work the controller!

“Can I borrow you acoustic Monte? Yes? Thanks,” I said. Monte didn’t argue since he was too busy playing random people on XBOX live. I rolled my eyes before walking into the bunks and picking up his guitar (link to picture in Author's Note) from the floor. Yeah, he’s not very smart. Just about no one paid attention to me leaving and I smiled to myself.

“You guys are so lazy!” I yelled onto the bus.

“Thank you hun!” Robert yelled back. I chuckled before walking over to the fence, leaning against it. I looked around and saw that no one was around and I was far enough from the bus that they wouldn’t hear me. I strummed the guitar a little before starting the song.

“Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Whoa
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone
I don't know

And now I'm reaching through the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there’s a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
and I said
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder.” Yeah, Boys Like Girls are amazing. Sue me. Suddenly I heard clapping and jumped, almost dropping the guitar. I looked up to see Craig walking towards me with a huge smile.

“How long have you been here?” I asked nervously.

“Since the second line,” Craig replied. I blushed and put the guitar down next to me. “Don’t be shy, that was gorgeous!”

“Stop it!”

“Why should I?” Craig taunted, sitting on the opposite side of me that the guitar sat.

“I see you’re sitting acting childish,” I scoffed.

“Well I told you I liked being a kid. Plus you won’t let me compliment you on a normal level so I have to do it on a kiddy level,” Craig said in a matter-of-fact tone. I rolled my eyes turned my head away from him. Craig leaned around so I would have to stare at him.

“Dude, get your face out of my bubble,” I whined.

“Pop,” he joked. I glared at him and he sat on my legs that were extended in front of me.

“Get your fat ass off of me!” I joked. He fake gasped and glared at me.

“For that I’m not moving!” I huffed and crossed my arms.

“Well there goes my chance at ever walking again,” I muttered. Craig just laughed at me which resorted in me rolling my eyes. “I see how much I’m loved.”

“There’s not enough words for that,” Craig said quietly.

“What are-” I was cut off by Craig’s lips meeting mine. It took me a moment before I kissed back. His tongue slid into my mouth and started to explore. This is going to the first kiss I remember us sharing. After a solid minute we had to separate for air. Craig took my face in his palms, staring into my eyes.

“I, Craig Mabbit, love you, Skyler Green. I want to spend my life with you and I don’t want anyone to stand in our way. I want to have kids with you and grow old with you. I’ve been holding back my true feelings since we first met. I love you so much I can hardly stand seeing you with someone else. Will you be my girlfriend? For starters of course.” My breath was taken from me after all of that. I started to tear up and Craig’s face dropped. “I’m sorry Sky! Please don’t cry!”

“It’s tears of happiness you doofus! Of course Craig.” My lips met his and all I could feel was utter bliss.
