Five
Don't forget to read the Author's Note!
After our dance, Carter
leads me back up to the cabin, and we sit next to the fireplace,
and warm up. He hands me a flannel of his. I put it on, and lay
back down on the couch. I see something pass the house but I
ignore it. I look back to Carter- he saw it too. He switches off
the fireplace, and turns off the lights.
"Shh," He tells me. "I think that was the night
patrol cops." He takes my hand, and we run upstairs, I'm
tempted to laugh, but I have to hold it back. The night patrol
cops only search the camps that aren't lived in. They check
for burglars, break-ins, stuff like that.
He sits me down on the bed, and goes back downstairs. By
instinct, I go the stair railing to see what's going on. He
turns on the outside light, and a cop instantly pulls into the
drive. After a few moments, I can hear his stiff footsteps in the
house.
"Evening, Dave..." He says.
"Austin, what are you doing here this late at night?"
The sheriff must know him. The only other person that calls him
by his last name was the football coach. I see the cop step in
further, and start looking around, I hide myself behind the small
wall so he doesn't see me.
"The parents and I got into a little argument," He
says. Like he's planned this. "So, I came here. The
safest place I know to get out of the house."
"Now is it just you? Coulda sworn I saw you with someone
earlier." He takes off his hat, and leans against the back
of the couch.
"You know I'm supposed to call them, and let them know,
right? As a cop it's my duty. As an uncle, I'm just
concerned."
"I know, but if you could just skip the call..." He
tries to convince his uncle. "You could even search the
house, it's just me, I swear." His uncle shrugs
his shoulders and nods. Once he heads down the hall a little
ways, Carter motions me to hide, then he plops himself onto the
couch. I look around. There's obvious spots: The closet,
behind the curtain, and in the master bath. I have to think
quickly. I shove myself under the bed, it's a tight-squeeze,
and I push myself behind a small storage box. I almost want to
laugh, it's like we're little kids again, playing
hide-and-seek. The footsteps come closer, and check in the
bathroom, closet, and behind the curtain. He 'hmphs' to
himself, and goes back down the stairs, and I wait a second
before crawling out from underneath the bed. I wipe myself off,
and sit on the edge of the bed. "You're off the hook
tonight, mister." I hear the door close, and wait to rush
over the edge of the loft.
Carter gives me a signal once the lights fade away, and he
continues to sit with the lights off. I go down the stairs, and
plop down next to him. He looks at me and laughs, and pulls a
piece of dust from my hair.
"Under the bed?" He scoots a little closer. I give a
quick 'mhmm', before I see him close his eyes and lean
towards me. I do the same and I feel his cool lips against
mine.
Author's Note: Readers, oh lovely
readers... I feel like some of you are drifting away. I know I
haven't written in forever, but I was just expecting more
faves. Don't get me wrong, I made a promise to finish this
story, and that I will. If you are reading, please comment below
either some feedback, or something. Maybe, comment what you think
will happen next chapter. Something to let me know you're
still interested!
