Come Outside

It was an adorable thing even if he didn’t think so. I mean, come on, when a boy says something like, “This song plays in my head when I think of you,” you must feel special, right? I know I do.

Just then Tyler’s mother called me down saying my dad was here. Tyler didn’t want me to leave; he was too scared I might do something stupid again. But I was in a good mood, so I know I wouldn’t. We both promised not to mention what happened, seeing as no one was hurt. And even after all that, Tyler was still worried. I love that boy.

When I got home and got into bed You Are My Sunshine continued to play in my head and eventually lulled me to sleep.

That next morning I awoke to my phone vibrating. I got up and read the text: Come outside. It was from Tyler. So I grabbed my jacket and walked down and out to him.

“Let’s go walking in the field, it’s really nice in the morning,” He said kindly. I took his hand and we walked down to the field. He was right, it is wonderful.
