Chapter 6

The sound of the waterfall in front of me was really peaceful. I ran my hand through the water as I heard Sean come and sit down beside me on the rock.

" Why are you doing this? " I found myself asking.

" Doing what? " he said with a puzzled look

" This... " I motioned towards the waterfall and me "... you took me here. It must be a special place, and we aren't even friends. What made you want to be my friend? "

He sighs, " Ever since I saw you I've wanted to be your friend, you just seem like a kind person and Michael talks about you like your an amazing person. "

" You know Michael? "

" Yeah, hes my bet-best friend. We have known eachother for a long time. " I caught the little slip up but I didn't question it.

" Ohh, yeah Michaels something alright. " I rolled my eyes playfully.

I got up and and walked to the waterfall. It was so beautiful I went up to where all the water was rushing down, I poked my finger through the water and felt it rush down my arm. I laughed to myself and looked to Sean.

He wasn't looking at me at the moment, but at the water looking his reflection. " Boys. " I rolled my eyes.

I turned back around and gasped as I saw there was an opening leading to behind the waterfall. I looked back and Sean and back to the opening. I shrugged and carefully went into it.

The little bit of light coming from the waterfall behind me now lit up the cave just a little. It wasn't a big cave as I could walk to the back of it in about five seconds. I looked back at the waterfall and stared in awe on how much I loved how beautiful it looked from in the cave.

After a few minutes I thought it should be time to go back to Sean. I carefully make my way out of the cave and behind the waterfall. I come back out and Sean is no where in sight.

Where did he go? Did he leave me here by myself?

I looked around and yell, " Sean? "

I don't hear anything and start to panic. I don't know my way back, where did he go?!

I turned around and there stood a behind livid Sean.

" Oh there you are, I was just about to-... "

" Where have you been?! I have been looking all over for you I almost got a search party out to look for you! " he yelled

" I was behind the waterfall.. " I said pointing to it.

" Huh? "

" Yeah come look at it it's really beautiful from inside the cave too! " I grabbed his arm and lead him to the cave. When we both got inside he looked around and was in shock.

He muttered something under his breath and looked at me. " This is actually pretty cool. " he smiled

" Yup... " I stared off somewhere when I got an idea.

I looked at Sean and went out of the cave, I walked to one of the rocks in front of the waterfall and took off my bookbag.

Sean followed behind me and sat down beside me as he looked at me with curiosity, " Whatcha doing? "

I didn't answer, I was too busy getting my colored pencils and sketchbook out of my bookbag. I sat my bookbag down and turned to an empty page, and then I started to draw.For about a half hour I drew in my sketchbook and Sean just sat there quietly watching. When I was finished I turned the book to him and he looked at it in awe, " That's a really good drawing of the waterfall. "

" Thanks. " I smiled back at him. I got my phone out of my front pocket of my jeans and looked at the time: 1:30

" Sooo since I don't know how to get back, or get back anywhere, what's your plan for lunch? " I asked

" I was thinking while you were drawing about that... would you rather have Arby's or KFC? "

" Arby's duh. " I said in a ' duh ' tone.

He laughed, " Okay Arby's it is. "

On the way there I looked at my phone and also saw he had an aux cord.. hmm...

I took the aux cord and stuck it in my phone, then then looked though my ITunes playlist to see which playlist I wanted to play.

Sean eyed me curiously as I scrolled down my phone, " Who's your favorite singer? "

" Hmm.. hard choice to make for me. Besides I'm a band geek anyway. "

He laughed at my statement, " Never thought I'd hear someone admit those words. "

I laughed at him, " Well it's true so why hide it? "

He nodded and asked, " So what are you gonna play? "

" I don't know yet. " I said.

I'm trying to choose between Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco for Sean... hm let's see.

" Are you into any bands? " I asked

" Not really, I do like some though. "

" Oh yeah? Like what? "

" Coldplay, Imagine Dragons.. "

" Ooooh good choices. Ever heard of Panic! or Fall Out Boy? " I asked him

" Who's Fall Out Boy? "

I gasped... he didn't. But he did. That's my favorite band how could no one have ever mentioned the band to him before?!

" What?! " I basically half yelled.

" Oh no... " he sighed. He probably knew not to piss off a band geek about their bands. Good boy.

" That's my favorite band! Your missing out on life here! " I yelled

He smirked, " Whatever you say Princess. "

I knew what playlist to play now. I tapped on the album " American Beauty/ American Psycho "

" Some legends are told

Some turn to dust or to gold

But you will remember me

Remember me, for centuries

Just one mistake

Is all it will take

We'll go down in history

Remember me for centuries! " I sang along to the music.

" Wow, also a good singer, any other hidden talents I have yet to discover? "

" Nope... well actually yes. But you'll have to find out later. " I winked at him.Fine. " he muttered

We got to the Arby's and once we got our food we sat down at a booth. " Oh, I almost forgot ketchup. " I got up and went to the front where the drinks, cups, lids, and napkins are and searched for the ketchup.

" Excuse me... " A guy about a few years older then me came up to me. He worked there since he had their uniform on. " Anything I could help you with? "

" Oh I just needed some ketchup. " I smiled politely.

" Come up to the front. " he motioned me to the front.

I went up to the counter and he went into the back and disappeared.

I waited a few seconds before he came back and handed me some ketchup packets. " Thank you... Ryan. " I read his name tag.

" No problem, what's your name? "

He's asking my name? Well I mean he might just be trying to be polite, but he just seems too polite. Something isn't right... I'm being too anxious, there's nothing to worry about.

" Jessica. "

" Lovely name, wanna come back at 6 after my shift is done and get something to eat? "

Welp...

" No thanks but it was nice-... " I was cut off by a very annoyed Sean.

" Nice meeting you but she already has a boyfriend. Thanks for helping her. " he smiled a fake smile and dragged me back to our seat. I felt the familiar tingles shoot through my arms and fingers as he did it.

There's those tingles and shocks again.

" What was that? I was handling it fine. " i said aggravated.

" Yeah I know you were but I don't trust him. "

" Do you know him? " I ask

" Something like that. " he huffed

" Okay... " I shoved curly fries in my mouth and moaned at the taste. I loveeee their curly fries.

I heard him growl lowly, what's up with him and the growling? His eyes were turning black but I didn't notice up until I looked up at him, " Are you going to eat? "

" Yeah, sure. " his eyes went to his normal blue color.

" Do you want to play 20 questions? " he asked

" What's that? "

" It's where I ask 20 questions about you. I want to get to know you better. Also you can ask 20 questions about me too. "

" Yeah, sure. " I mimicked him

He rolled his eyes playfully and started asking his questions. They were mostly questions about how was my life growing up and what my favorite things were. We had two questions left but I had to go to the bathroom.

I walked into the bathroom and did my thing, and then I washed my hands. But before I went out I texted Makayla because she has been texting me asking where I have been all day.

I put my phone in my jeans pocket and turned to walk out of the door. I was greeted with a livid looking Ryan. Wait what's Ryan doing in here?! What's up with guys going into girls restrooms? It's called a girls restroom for a reason people.

" Jessica, hello again. " he smiled through his angry look

" Hello..? This is the girls restroom you know. " I said unaffected

" Yes, I know. But your " boyfriend " ruined our little moment earlier. " he did hand quotes when saying boyfriend and rolled his eyes.

" I couldn't call it a moment, now can you move? I gotta go back. " It was my turn to roll my eyes at him.

" Not so fast, I got to do what I came in here to do. " he walked up to me.

" Uhh I'll pass.. " I said trying to walk past him

He grabbed my arm and my injured arm from this morning and put them behind my back and pushed me against the wall.

" Your not going anywhere. " he smiled sickly.
