When they were parked at Sweet Treat, Nick turned off the engine and twisted around to look at Bridget. “You ready to go in?”

She looked at him and nodded. They got out of the car and walked inside. Carly and Andrew were no where in sight. They took a booth in the middle and waited till the waitress came and took there order.

Nick looked at Bridget. “How about just one large banana split?” Bridget nodded. “Okay, we’ll have that and two virgin margaritas please.” The waitress nodded and left.

“Margaritas? Doesn’t that have alcohol? And you have to be 21?” Bridget asked him and played with the salt and pepper.

Nick grinned. “That’s why I ordered the fake ones. Those ones don’t have alcohol.”

 “Oh. Right.” Bridget felt childish. Like she should know this stuff but didn’t.

Nick took her hand in his and squeezed. “Don’t worry about Holly, okay? She sounds like a bitch anyways.” She didn’t say anything. Nick tilted his head and looked at her. “Why don’t we go somewhere after this?”

Bridget looked up. “Where?”

Nick looked at the clock on the nearest wall. “Well it’s only 8:45. So we’ll go to this place I really like. It’s only, like ten minuets away. And I’ll think you’ll like it.”

“What is it?” The waitress came back and gave them the banana split and each gave them a fancy glass of margarita.

“I can’t tell you. It’ll be a surprise.” he said and picked up one of the spoons and scooped up a vanilla with banana. Bridget tried to take the same piece and they ended up having a spoon fight.

“Here.” Nick took the big spoon, dipped it in the strawberry part and then fed it to her. Bridget hesitated before opening her mouth and Nick slipped in. When he took it out, he gently grazed it on her nose and got ice cream on it.

“Hey! Quit it!” She laughed and wiped her nose with a napkin. Nick smiled.

They started eating the ice cream while laughing and talking about all the embarrassing stuff they did over the past. It really made Bridget open up.

Few minuets later, their margaritas were gone and banana split only had ¼ left. Nick left money on the paycheck and tip then they practically ran out of the place and into the car.

They drove less than ten minuets when they arrived at a forest. “What are we doing here?” Bridget asked nervously.

“I want to show you something. Come on.” Nick parked behind some thick bushes and when they got out of the car, took her hand and led the way deeper down the forest.

“Okay were getting close, close your eyes, okay?” She did and they kept on walking. They finally stopped at a point. “Okay open them now.

Bridget did and she looked around, her eyes wide. There was big field in front of them. It was about the size of half the football field but in a circle way. It was surrounded by trees.

They were right in the middle of the circle. “Look up,” Nick said and she did. The moon was staring right back at her. There were millions of stars above blinking at her.

"That's beautiful!" she exclaimed.

Bridget looked down and noticed that there was a log beside them with a big rock on the side. Nick climbed up it and pulled her up with him. She sat between his open legs, his arms around her waist and her arms on his.

They both looked up. “This is really pretty.” Bridget breathed out. “How’d you find it.”

“I ran away one day. When my parents were getting a divorce. I thought it’ll make them realize that they needed each other. They ended up hating each other more. It was when I was about 12. I walked all the way here. I couldn’t drive, duh.”

Bridget smiled and tilted her head back. “Were you scared? Being all alone I mean.”

He smiled. “Scared the shit out of me. I thought I was lost and I’d never come back home again. I actually slept inside that log. The only thing I had with me is a pocket knife.”

“Did you use it?” Bridget thought of him using it to kill for food. Yuck.

“Once, to carve that date there.” They both looked down and Bridget saw the date. 05/19/2001.

“How did they find you?” She asked him, sliding down the rock but turned to face him. She put her elbows on his knee and looked up at him.

“Cops found me the next day. I got in trouble and my dad said that he doesn’t need that kind of crap in his life. So I had to live with my mom. He changed over time though. Got nicer. Actually invited me to live with him this summer.” He brushed strands of hair off her face.

“I’m glad he did.” Bridget said.

“Me too.” Nick leaned down and touched his lips with hers.

Tell me if its too long kay?
And tell me what you think I like to know those things.
And sorry, no pic of Holly yet.
