country girl meets city boy
chapter three



I look up at him and just say "max. . . what the heck are we doing back here?" i say it with a tone as if i want to be here but don't know why. "these swings. remember them?" he asks as if we were there yesterday. "yeah. this is where you asked out Kate in third grade" i say as if still totally jealous. "chill. thats not all that happened here" i start thinking then smile. "the first day we met.,this is where we finally stopped our tour of the playground and you pushed me on the 5th swing" I'm laughing too. "duh!! Geez you were as light as a feather!" well yeah max we were in second grade! i turn around and look at him. "what?" he asks. "nothing. I'm just trying to remember everything else that year. . .  those years" i say trying not to pause but still do. i look back at the swings and start to walk over to one. then i sit down on the 5th one and max pushes me on it again. i felt like i was impossible to break. . .  like nothing could happen. "lets look up at the stars like we did in the summer going into 6th grade at the summer bash?" he asks like he knew i wanted to. i did. "ive been waiting for you to ask" i say lightly. we look up at them and just stay there with his hand in mine. then my phone buzzes. *one new message-Sydney: are you with max? i wish we could hang! you leave tomorrow at 11 right?" i look over at it and max asks who it is. "Sydney wondering if I'm with you and what time i leave. she wants to hang out" i say as if I'm dying the next day. i kind of am. "when we get back to your house have her sleep over too. please i want you to be happy." he says as if i had no choice. "i am happy. with you" i say looking into his eyes. "have her come over" he says. "okay I'll tell her right now" we stop talking then and look at the stars. its a perfect night. "hey its 10:30 lets go back?" he asks. "i don't want to go" i say. "common baby cakes. I'll give you a piggyback ride?" he asks as he smiles. "you got me" i say with the biggest smile. we walk back hand in hand and get to the door. i call Sydney and she says she'll be over soon. Max hold me to tightly as we make popcorn but even tighter when we watch the notebook. at the part where Allie and Noah are kissing like crazy because of there strong love for each other Max's mouth almost touches my ear. thats how close he was when he says "thats you and me" then he kisses my check and i hug him. never wanting to let go. i fall asleep once the movies over, in his arms as i wanted. i have a dream that night that me and him are 85 years old and married. happy as ever. then i wake up. i get out of max's arms and get ready for the worst day ever. i don't want it to even start. . .cause i know it wont end.
