The Dark of the Night More Inviting Than the Sunlight

Sky’s Point Of View

I watched as Dawn stood up and marched out of the room. I looked down at my shoes and let small teardrops leave my eyes. This week had been terrible; my parents had fought all week making me sleep less than five hours. Then I fight with Bert making him mad at me, so he’s been ignoring me all week and then this.

I got up and left the classroom, I didn’t go very long though. I slid down the wall and buried my face in my hands as I cried. I don’t know for how long I sat there and cried, but after a while I heard footsteps coming my way; I couldn’t care less, whoever came this way hopefully wouldn’t notice me.

“Sky?” I heard Jeph ask as he walked over to me. “Hey, don’t cry! What’s wrong?” He asked me whilst putting an arm around my shoulder.

“Everything!” I sobbed out and wiped away some tears with the sleeve to my black hoodie. When I had calmed down so much that I could form words that could be understood my normal human beings he asked me again what had happened. I took a deep breath and let my tears fall freely as I spoke of what had happened that week. When I at last told him that I had fought with Bert I buried my face into my arms again and sobbed loudly.

My teacher let go of me and stood up “Wait here just a second, okay Sky?”
I nodded in response and wiped my tears; I took a shaky deep breath and wiped away some tears again. My makeup must be smudged all over my face… I thought before trying to stand up. I held my left hand on the wall for support and wiped away tears with the other hand; Don’t ask me why I wiped away the tears when I knew that I was going to end up crying more.

I looked around, where did Howard go? I let out a choked sob again and tried to breath normally, it didn’t work that well. I ran a hand through my hair and got tiny bits of food in my hand. “Lovely” I breathed out.

I now heard footsteps again, hurried ones. The tears were still falling from my Grey-blueish eyes and my sleeves were damp from the many times I had tried to wipe them away. Someone grabbed my shoulder, turned me around and pulled me into a tight hug.

“Shh… Don’t cry” I heard Quinn say to me as he hugged me tightly. I smiled the tiniest smile and made a mental note to thank Jeph the next time I saw him. “What happened, Sky?” He asked as he pulled away from our hug. I told him what had happened and then looked down on my shoes again, I was wearing the shoes that Bert had scribbled cute things on, and that brought tears to my eyes again.

“Quinn… do you think that me and Bert broke up that day that we fought?” I whispered to him, still looking down. “No, I don’t think so… I’m sure you’ll be together again really soon,” He replied as he hugged me again. “Thank you, Quinn” I replied with a sad voice.

“I better go home now…” I said thoughtfully. He nodded and I walked home in silence, the tears making their way to my eyes again.

I looked up from the ground and took a look around, I wasn’t that far from home when I spotted a black haired guy… that guy that made my heart beat a million times faster than it normally did, the guy that made my heart ache at the moment.

I choked a sob again, but he heard me. He looked up from his book and looked straight into my tearstained eyes. I stopped walking and I bit my lip carefully, not being able to look away from his stunning, blue eyes. We stared at each other for what seemed like forever, but I looked down on the ground again and walked away.

I sighed shakily and quickened my steps; I didn’t want to think about him anymore. “Sky!”
I stopped walking, frozen on the spot. Was that… him? I turned around slowly; maybe it was just my imagination?

It wasn’t just my imagination. I saw that he had gotten up from the bench he was sitting on and was now running to catch up with me.

He wrapped his arms around me in a hug and as he nuzzled his face into my hair I heard him mumble “I’m sorry”

And me being the emotional girl that I am, started to cry again silently. “No, don’t cry!” He said and hugged me even tighter, as if he was afraid that maybe I would disappear. “It breaks my little heart to see you cry” He mumbled before kissing me softly on my lips.

My heartbeat went crazy and the tears were still falling down my face as he dragged me over to another bench that was hidden behind trees and such. He sat down and pulled me up in his lap.
He asked me what was wrong and I answered what I had said to both Mr. Howard and Quinn earlier that day.

His hands cupped my cheeks gently as he pressed his lips against mine again. He pulled away and stared in to my eyes, it was one of those moments where you didn’t need to say anything, those kinds of moments that you want to be lasting forever.

One of his hands stroked my cheek and he kissed my neck, jaw line, nose and finally my lips again. His lips gently brushed against my cheek and he held me tightly as he whispered three words that made my heart melt, beat faster, and make it ache of happiness.

“I love you” He had whispered to me, those words that had been used so many times in so many different parts of the world. And it still meant everything to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held him tightly “I love you too” I said, meaning every word of it.

It felt like time had stopped, and there was just the two of us in the world. It was the most amazing feeling I’d ever felt.

We just sat there, on that bench hugging and occasionally kissing each other.
I looked away from his stunning face to look around us, the sun was setting and it was getting darker. I pecked Bert’s lips and then looked at my hands as I said “I’d better go home now…”

“No! You can’t leave me now” He mumbled as he kissed my neck several times. I moaned quietly and I could feel him smirk against my neck. He pulled away from me “Please sleep at my place?” He asked pleadingly “I’ll be nice” he continued with his best puppy-look. I smiled at him and nodded; he smirked and started to molest my neck again. This time he started to nibble at my skin and I gasped quietly.

He then started to kiss his way up to my lips, and molested them too. His tongue skillfully made its way in to my mouth; my fingers got tangled up in his messy black hair as I ran my fingers through it.

“I think we should go home now” I panted breathlessly and he nodded in response. I stood up and stretched a bit, my legs were a bit sore from sitting down for so long - not that I was complaining - I loved every second of it. He grabbed my hand and pecked it lovingly. As we were walking to Bert’s house, no words were spoken. I was still walking on clouds of happiness over what had happened in the past few hours.

*******************************************

As we reached his house he pulled his keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door quietly, everyone was asleep as we walked quietly up the stairs and into his room, where we crashed onto the bed – him on top of me as his tongue danced with mine. One of his hands rested on my hips and the other one was making its way under my tank top where it slid up and down my stomach making me groan quietly.

He broke away and looked at me for a while with a smile. I smirked “You promised you would be a nice boy, Bert… You are a very naughty boy at the moment,”

He kissed me hard on the lips as he mumbled “You drive me crazy”
I just giggled as he lay down beside me and draped one of his arms around me, pulling me closer to his warm body. I closed my eyes and sighed contently.

“I love you” He said before kissing me goodnight. Making me smile big and my heart skip a beat.
I fell asleep that night in the arms of someone I loved and cared for.
