What is love? (Closed)


"Jett. Jettie... Jett!" the girl's mother said, the last call of her name startling the girl out of the little daze she was in. It'd actually made her jump as she finally lifted her head to look up and across the table at her mother. "Are you going to carry the cake out for me, or what?" the woman asked, earning a single nod from her daughter. "O-Oh. Yeah, I'll be out with it in a minute." Jett replied before her mom took off out the sliding glass door that lead to their backyard. The seventeen years old stood up from her chair then and made her way across the kitchen to pick up the cake decorated with all kinds of pink things (because her sister was obsessed with that color), making sure that the sleeves on her shirt were low enough to keep her wrists covered before she carried it outside.

She set on the table in front of the birthday girl and joined everyone in singing happy birthday. Jett even helped hand out the cake to all of her sisters little friends. But as soon as she was no longer needed, she was taking off again. Because she didn't exactly feel like being surrounded by people at the moment. "Don't you want any?" her sister asked when she'd caught her sneaking off. "Oh, no, not right now. But save a piece for me and I'll eat it later...okay?" the black haired girl asked, giving her best fake smile. Her sister nodded in return and went back to talking to her friends, allowing the girl to head off again. Rather than go inside again, Jett started over to the trampoline that her family had sitting just outside of the tree line behind their house. That forest was one of the biggest reasons Jett was glad that they didn't live in the city.

She struggled a bit with climbing up onto it, but made it nonetheless. She tossed her shoes down into the grass below, and made her way to the middle of the trampoline, where she started jumping. It wasn't until then that she was worried that she might draw the kids' attention and tempt them to come over...but they could wait a little while couldn't they? After just a minute or so of jumping, the girl stopped and laid down and stared up at the sky, which is what she wanted to do in the first place. But she had to pretend that she was happy first as to not raise any suspicion. A couple quiet sobs left her mouth (which she quickly covered), but no tears fell. She wouldn't let them. It was stupid to cry now...but she couldn't help it. She just got like this sometimes, fairly often lately. Sadness just would randomly overcome her, driving her to the point of tears no matter how happy she'd been or how happy she wanted to be.

So this wasn't uncommon for her lately. Secluding herself somewhere so no one would see her sad, trying to fight it away. Being outside helped a little though. The sky changing from dusk into night was surprisingly comforting...and the fireflies that'd just started to come out kind of helped in their own way too.

It was sunday afternoon, and Dahvie was waiting (somewhat impatiently) for his friend to call him back. Because if they were going to go for a walk today, he needed to get ready.She she probably did too. But he didn't know if they were actually going quite yet, since she hadn't told him so. He certainly wanted to though. Being home alone was kind of boring when there was other things to be done. Like walks with best friends.

Dahvie was honestly a little afraid that he might not get to go for walks with his best friend in a few weeks or so. Because they were both seniors in high school, and she'd been talking so much about how she was going to leave... He really didn't want her to. It would be so hard if after years of being together constantly, that she just disappeared. It wasn't fair. Sure, that was a kind of selfish thought, but how could he not think that way?She wasn't supposed to leave yet. Not when they were so young still..

So that's why he was somewhat impatient about this whole walk thing. Because if he couldn't convince her to stay for at least another year or so, this would be one of the last walks they'd take for a long time.
