She followed close behind, squeezing his hand.

I squeezed back and led her up to the roof of the apartment building. There was light frost on the concrete, but it hadn't snowed in a few days. I sat down with her near the edge, wrapping the blanket under and around us and pulling her towards me.

She curled up next to him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rested her head on his shoulder.

....this was a warm blanket. I put my arm around her shoulder, placing my head on top of hers. I didn't want to break the silence. ....isn't it beautiful up here?

She closed her eyes to enjoy the peace more. It is. Just like him.

2016-07-02 10:11:42

🌀

....ah......well....no use in arguing. ......can we stay up here for the rest of the night? That'd be....a good birthday.

2016-07-02 10:14:16

●

She didn't see any harm in that.

2016-07-02 10:14:38

🌀

.....thank you. I kissed the side of her head and then looked back up at the sky.

Ivory had been extremely busy since she met London. Almost everyday it seemed London was with her, and she really had no time for anyone else. For once London had an exam for college and were going to be heading home later, so no time to hang out today. This finally gave her some time to hang out with Madison, who she had to keep turning down due to her busyness. For some reason he wanted her to bring alcohol, probably because they had none at home. She didn't mind that, and brought a variety of stuff. She knocked on Madison's apartment door and adjusted her miniskirt. Finally she got around to wearing her gifts, and hoped the ruffled button up black shirt wasn't too low cut for him. It was London's idea, as well as deep purple lipstick and eye shadow to match it to change things up. Seemed a bit much but she liked it either way.

.....I'm losing her......she's been spending every spare second with London. Even Seculus complained about not being able to see her often before his birthday. Are they doing this on purpose? Trying to get her to forget me? Until one day she just stops talking to me....I was almost surprised she hadn't yet. Every time I tried to do something special for her, it benefited London, and when we did talk she brought them up constantly, they're....replacing me...... I grabbed at the one chance I got to see her like a man dying of thirst, racking my brain for any other way I could impress her enough to stay. The first time we really got along.....I let her drink. She's actually old enough now. I need to drink too. Maybe that's..... Seculus wouldn't like the idea of me being around alcohol with the mood I'd been in, so I hadn't told him or thought about it. I don't think she has either. But I can't come off too desperate. Or nonchalant. Or mopey.....or it'll make things worse. I opened the door and opened it as calmly as possible, as if I didn't want to fling it open and pull her inside to keep her there forever, and smiled, trying to get it to reach my eyes. "Hey."

"Hey." She smiled at him. "It's been a while. Sorry for being late, I wasn't sure as to what you wanted." She held up a couple bags of liquor.

2016-07-02 10:38:51

🌀

I kept myself from reaching out and grabbing one immediately. "Anything's fine. Come on in." I moved out of the way, messing with my tie. I don't know why I wore my suit. Maybe to remind her who I am...that's stupid.

2016-07-02 10:40:53

●

She stepped inside. "Should I put these in the fridge to chill?" She asked.

2016-07-02 10:42:29

🌀

"....um. Sure." I hadn't been sleeping well, my brain was moving a little slow. I closed the door and finally took in her outfit. That's the skirt I got her......and.....that must be the shirt London gave her. I tried not to look at it.

2016-07-02 10:46:11

She walked over to the kitchen and put the bags in the fridge, but took a couple of small bottles of watermelon Smirnoff ice from a 6 pack. "I assume you want one now?" She asked as she shut the fridge door.

2016-07-02 10:47:59

🌀

"Please." Get me buzzed. I'm begging you. "...I thought we could drink together a little bit. You know, since...you're finally legal."

2016-07-02 10:48:52

●

"Fine with me. Why not." There was no harm in it. She opened both bottles and handed one to him. "I know Seculus has Twilight if you want to sit and watch that as well."

2016-07-02 10:50:28

🌀

I tried not to look like I was guzzling it. I lowered the bottle after a few agonizingly slow sips. "Sure. But just so you know, I'm team Jacob all the way."

2016-07-02 10:52:09

●

"Team Alice." She retrieved the movie.

2016-07-02 10:53:33

🌀

"You do realize Bella's sadly straight, and Alice is married."

2016-07-02 10:57:19

●

"Yes. Unfortunately." She took a swig of her drink as she put the movie in,

2016-07-02 10:58:05

🌀

I emptied the bottle while she wasn't looking and ran back to the kitchen for another.

Ivory hardly noticed as she fiddled with the dvd player.

2016-07-02 11:01:27

🌀

I came back with a fresh bottle, quickly brought it back to the same level as the last one, and sat down. ....like she wouldn't notice that one had vanished next time she went to the fridge.

2016-07-02 11:02:46

●

She hit play. "There we go." She stood up and sat down next to him.
