"I'm seriously the only person you've ever showed this place to?" i smiled feeling extremely special by what he said.

He nodded.

"Pinky promise you won't tell anyone?" he says holding out his pinky.

I laughed wrapping my pinky around his. "Pinky promise." i assure him.

He smiles and looks back out at the water.

After maybe a minute or so a question popped into my mind.

"Why'd you bring me here if you've never told anyone about it?" I asked.

"Few people even care about the world anymore. The only time people acknowledge the beauty of the world is when they take a picture of it so they can post it on social media. I thought you'd appreciate it." He shrugs.

I smile. "I do."

"And I dunno i have a feeling that you're going to be in my life for quite a while."

I feel butterflies in my stomach and I laugh softly looking down at my hands

"Does that make little emily happy?" he teases in a baby voice.

"I just never thought I'd be sitting on a hammock with a physic." I say.

He laughs and pushes me over.

"Shut up." he says laughing.

We kept talking for a while until he stopped mid sentence to look at his watch.

"What time is it?" i asked.

"sunset." He answered with a smirk on his face.

It took a second for me to understand what he meant, but when I did, my eyes grew bigger and I turned back towards the water.

the sun was right above the horizon and the sky was turning to a light shade of orange.

as time went by, the sun went father down and the sky turned to various different colors.

We sat there silently, occasionally talking about how beautiful it was for an hour.

When the sky was completely dark, I looked over at him.

I couldn't see his face very well, but I could see his sharp jaw line.

"I come here to write music sometimes." he says breaking the silence.

"you write music?" I ask him genuinely interested.

he nodded with a small smile creeping onto his face.

"for what?"

"I'm working on an album right now." He told me.

"Like for itunes?" I asked.

"Yeah. I have a few songs on their right now. Four to be exact." He explains.

(A/N we're gonna pretend handwritten didn't come out yet)

"Shut up." I said in disbelief.

He continued to tell me about his music with a huge smile.

I could tell he really enjoyed singing.

"That's great, shawn." I said genuinely happy for him.

He then went on to ask me about my life.

I didn't tell him about the whole cancer thing. I don't want him to feel sorry for me, or maybe even act like it's contagious.

Before I knew it, it was 1 a.m. and I had 7 missed calls from my mom.

"shit I gotta go." I said looking up at from my phone.

shawn looked at his phone and his eyes widened.

"Well it's past my curfew." He stated.

We both stood up and quickly walked up the path.

When we reached his car we both got in and I texted my mom quickly telling her I was okay.

On the way home we laughed about how we lost track of time and soon enough we were back at my house.

He parked the car in front of my house and looked over at me.

"Thanks for coming along with me." He smiled, "I had a lot of fun."
I smiled back (which I've been doing a lot lately)

I opened the door, got out and turned back to him.
"Me too." I answered and shut the door.

I walked up the path to my front door and walked inside.

"You had us worried sick." I heard my dad say sitting on the couch with my mom.

"Hey guys." I laughed awkwardly.

They kept a straight face and stared at me waiting for an answer.

"I lost track of time, okay?" i said in defeat.

"with a guy you met yesterday." My dad mumbled. I wondered how he knew I met Shawn yesterday and how he even knew I was with Shawn, and figured my mom had told him.

I groaned and walked up to my room.

I washed up then jumped in my bed.

When I picked up my phone, I saw I had a text from shawn.

Shawn:
Were your parents mad?

Emily:
A lil bit. It's fine tho they'll get over it.

Shawn:
Alright well night, emily.

Emily:
goodnight, shawn

I put my phone down and shut my eyes.

I fell asleep thinking about shawn and all that had happened that night.
