summer nights
chapter seven
Blake falls onto the ground. The two guys jolt away, knowing
they messed with the wrong guy. I run over to Blake's
side, and kneel down.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine..." He looks at me. I stand up, and
help him up. He leans on his tailgate. I stand next to him,
slowly moving closer every second.
I hear sirens coming down the road, it grabs my
attention.
The sheriff pulls over next to Blake's truck.
"You two again?" He gets out of his car.
We both nod. The sheriff sees Blake's face, he looks
shocked.
"What in the h*ll happened to you?" He lifts his
sunglasses.
"Two boys tried to take my truck sir."
"Ma'am," The sheriff says. "Is that what
happened?"
"Yessir." I nod.
"Alright, come with me. I'll have to take y'all
down to the department."
We're not handcuffed, we're just told to sit in the
back. It's my first time in a cop car, my mom sure is not
gonna like this.
We drive to the police department, everyone stares at us when
we walk in. We sit down in the back. "I gotta write up
some papers, then I'll quesstion ya."
The sheriff walks away. Three older women, come to clean
Blake up.I watch the clock change from one, to two, to three,
and finally to seven.
"Sorry," The sheriff says. "Lost track of
time, now Mr.Lucas, c'mon."
Blake nods, and goes into a small room. I tap my foot,
getting extremely nervous.
"Meg?" One of the policemen asks. "Megan
James?"
"Uh, yes?" I stand up.
"If you'll come over here, I can question you,
possibly make things go a bit faster?"
"Alright." I start walking towards him. Out of the
corner of my eye, I see someone familiar come into the
station...My dad.

summer nights
chapter eight
"Megan?!" My dad comes over.
"Hi dad..." I avoid eye contact. I look at his worn
out cowboy boots. They look a lot like the ones I'm
wearing.
"What happened?" He says.
"Some boys tried to steal my friends truck,
everything's okay though." The officer takes me to
the room, my dad follows, but waits outside the door.
"So, Megan, can you tell me everything that
happened?"
"Sure," I smile. "Blake took me out to this
field, after his truck ran outta gas. We climbed up the tree,
and he kissed me. It was really cute--"
I'm cut off. I hear some yelling outside. The officer
opens the door. I see my dad, and some woman fighting. I lay
my face into my palms. The officer comes back in, and closes
the door.
"Continue..." He sits down.
"Alright," I say. "Then, after he kissed me,
he went down to his truck and grabbed a knife. He etched our
names into the tree. Then, he sees these two homely looking
boys tryna steal his truck."
"Do you know the boys?"
"No sir," I say. "They know Blake
though."
"Alright, what happened after Blake saw them near his
truck?"
"He told them to get away, and they didn't, so he,
well, defended his truck, and himself."
"How?" The officer writes down what I'm
saying.
"He punched one of them, the one provoking him, because
he grabbed my shoulder."
"Oh, so he was defending you, too?"
"Yeah, and then his friend saw him on the ground, and
punched Blake."
"Is that it?"
"Yessir," I say. He nods, and tells me I can leave.
I go out into the main part of the station, and see Blake
waiting for me.I see my dad leave, he squeals his tires, and
goes towards the state line. I shake my head, and go over to
Blake.
"Everything go okay?" I ask.
"Yeah, no charges." He says. "What'd they
do with you?"
"Jus' asked what happened." We walk to his
truck. My house isn't far away, but it's already past
curfew. I get out, and decide to go through my front door. My
mom's waiting for me. Once Blake's truck is down the
drive, she closes the door. She doesn't look mad, she
looks devestated.

chapter nine
I stop, mid-step on the stairs. "Dear lord, help me get
through this." She says. I go back down the stairs.
"You alright, ma?" I sit down next to her. She
shakes her had.
"God, Meg." She stands up. "I tried so d*mn
hard to get him back. I love that man more than everything,
but now he's running around with some young
girl."
"Mom," I look her in the eyes. "If you love
him like you say you do, let him be happy." I go to the
fridge and grab my favorite kind of ice-cream.
Ben&Jerry's cookie dough. I sit at my kitchen island
until I finish eating. My mom's fallen asleep on the
couch in the time I've eaten the ice cream.I go upstairs
to my room, and change into my pajamas.
I sit on my bed in the dark, just thinking about the day. It
was so perfect, then it went downhill. I turn on the light
beside my bed, and pick up my guitar. I play a few songs,
until I decide it's time to go to bed. I toss and
turn.
Thousands of different thoughts pour through my head.
I get up, and get my phone. I dial Blake's number, and
thankfully he answers.
"Hey," He says. "You're up late."
"Thinking..." I say. "Can you come over?"
"Yeah, sure." He says. "I'll be right
over." We say our good-byes, and I get up. I put a
pair of sweatpants on over my pajama shorts. I pace around my
room, I can feel my palms start getting sweaty.
I hear Blake's truck pull in. He stops at my window.
"Up here." I stick my head out the window. I watch
him effortlessly climb up the side of my house, and into my
bed room.
"What'd you need?" He says.
"We need to talk."

summer nights
chapter nine
Blake looks at me, with one of the most sincere faces
I've ever seen. "About what?" He sighs.
"Us." I say quietly, just loud enough for him to
hear me.My heart starts pounding, and my knees buckle up.
"What about us?" Blake helps me sit down on my
bed.
"I'm scared to get close to you. I don't want a
relationship like my mom and dad." I begin crying.
It's unexpeted, I just sit there, and cry. Blake kneels
down infront of me, and takes both my hands.
"I'm not like your dad, you're not like your
mom. I won't hurt you."
"You promise?" I wipe the tears from my eyes. He
stands up, and sits back down on my bed. All the color is
flushed from his face.
"I promise." He kisses my cheek, and then grabs my
guitar. I raise an eyebrow. What's he doing? He starts
strumming the notes to one of my favorite songs. Collide by
Howie Day. His tired eyes stare into mine. He starts singing
the song, I can feel my cheeks starting to blush.
When he's done singing, he sets my guitar down. I lean
back, laying my head on his chest. It's quiet for a bit,
I can almost fall asleep, until I hear Blake.
"So, why are you so scared I'll hurt
you?"
"My mom ad my dad were like us. They were best friends,
and I just don't wanna end up like that."
"We won't." He laughs a little. "I
couldn't bare to hurt you."
"Good." I laugh.
"Remember about six years ago, when we were out in the
woods in the fort we made?" Blake says, "And we
were talking about how we were gonna get
married?"
"Oh my," I look at him. "Yeah, why?"
"That's when I fell for you."

summer nights
chapter ten
"Aw," I blush. "I'm holding you to
that." I wink, and playfully hit his arm. He laughs, and
then yawns.
"I should be going." He stands up, and adjusts his
shirt. He leans on top of me, both of his arms on the sides
of me. He presses his lips against mine.
"Bye," I say, and kiss him one more time, before I
watch him leave out my window, and in a matter of seconds, I
hear his old pick-up barelling down my drive.
I lay back in my bed, the smell of Blake's cologne still
lingers on my blanket. I cover up, and almost instantly fall
asleep.
I wake up yelling. My mom's yelling at someone. I throw
off my covers. It feels like I'm a little girl again.
Listening to my mom yell. It's my dad. I hear him yell
louder than he used to. I quietly step down the stairs,
hearing every word they say.
"When we got married," My mom quiets down.
"You said you changed. You said we'd last
forever."
"Well, forever wasn't cut out for us, Molly."
My dad stands up.
"It is when you have a child. You have to make it work,
for them."
"She barely knows me, like she'd want me in her
life!" My dad's voice gets louder.
"I do," I interrupt. "I'd love to have you
in my life."
"Oh, Meg..." My mom comes over. "You
weren't supposed to hear this."
"Oh, ma, did you tell him about the part where you hate
that he's running around with a tr*mp, that was the best
part." I storm out the door. I'm nothing to her. She
had me, to make my dad stay with her.
"Megan," My dad comes out, and sits next to me on
the porch swing. "You really want me in your
life?"
"Well, yeah." I half-smile.
"I'll try. For you." He kisses the top of my
head, and walks to his truck.
---------------------------------------------
Teaser: "Well, ma, maybe it'll be better, for the
both of us." I slam the door. I've never been this
mad at my mom before.
