(John's POV)
Peggy just asked me to meet her inside. Basically what that means is to meet her in our favorite spot. It's an old shed by a lake. There's also a pretty big hill behind the shed, not steep, but we've never climbed it. It's not the best hideout, but it has precious memories hidden in between those rough nails, and under those creaky wooden boards on the floor. It's only evident to us though. As I got ready, my father came looking for me.
"John! JOHN!" He yelled, stepping toward my room. I didn't answer and quickly got into my bed, pretending to be asleep. 

(Third Person POV)
"John! I know you hear me boy!" he slurred, kicking the room door open. A tall, drunken, and slightly muscular figure appeared at John's door. His "father" walked into the room, scanning for John. Once he spotted him in the bed, he ripped the blankets off him and roughly turned him around so he was on his back. John stayed as still as he could, still pretending to be asleep. Once his father "saw that he was asleep", he pushed him back over, causing him to fall off of the bed. His dad left the room, slamming the door behind him.
John shivered feeling a bruise on the side of his head. He shook the pain off before locking his door and sneaking out of his window, down a rope he had installed a few years ago. He's been sneaking out for the longest so he figured it would be handy.
Once he got to the ground, he quickly made a run for their hide out. It'd been 15 minutes since Peggy said meet her there in 10. He ran as fast as he could, despite the throbbing pain he felt in his head.
*3 minutes later*
(Peggy's POV)
"I've been waiting here for 20 minutes! Where is John? He wouldn't ditch me, right?" I thought to myself, pacing back and forth throughout the rather comfy shed. I quietly waited for John to arrive, twisting the ends of pig tails. Then, I heard huffing and puffing. I quickly shot up from my spot on the ground and tried yelled out, "Who's there!?" In an intimidating voice, but it just came out as a squeak.
"It's me Peggy!" I recognised the voice as an out of breath, John. I walked over to him and gave him a hug before stepping backwards.
"Why were you running? You are late, but, you didn't have to.." I reassured him.
"No.. I was late and.. And had to be her- here..!" He breathed out. I grabbed his hand and pulled him into our shed, and made him sit down.
"So, I'm still bored. I wanna do something fun! Are you ready for the most awesome, fun, and crazy idea ever?!" I sounded like a six year old who had just overdosed on candy and soda.
John laughed, "Of course!" He responded, perking up.
(John's POV)
"Are you ready for the most awesome, fun, but and crazy idea ever?!" Peggy asked me. She
looked adorable the way her eyes brightened when she was explaining her idea. I simply laughed at her child sounding voice and responded with, "Of course!"
"So," Peggy explained, "We're going to..." She extended her to for about 30 seconds. "just climb up that hill and sit there looking at the view!" She smiled. I looked at her dumbfounded.
"Uhm.. What happened to 'most awesome!'and 'most crazy idea ever!'"I mocked her.
"Don't mock me! And, because, I can't do many things. So, to me this is the most awesome, fun, craziest idea ever! Idiot!" She rolled her eyes at me and walked out of the shed. I walked out after her and placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her and calming her a little.
"Uh.. H-hey. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." I said in a soft, quieting voice.
"It's fine." She still seemed a little angry, but I decided not to push it. We walked toward the hill and began to trek up it. I kept looking over at Peggy at the same time she'd look over at me, but she'd quickly turn her head away and walk ahead of me. I sighed and followed behind her.
(Third Person POV)
Before they knew it, they were at the top of the hill. Peggy's eyes widened at the extravagant view and so did John's.
"..Woah.." They both said in awe simultaneously. They stood together side by side, both smiling from ear to ear as they looked at the scenery in front of them.
After a while, they both sat down next to each other and just stayed silent, still looking out at the perfect view. Peggy leaned her head against John's shoulder while John slithered an arm around her waist. They sat like this until Peggy fell asleep, and so did John.

(Peggy's POV)
I woke up at about 7 am, next to John? Then everything snapped back to me. I snuck out. I totally forgot about that. I sat up, off of John and shook him to wake up.
"John! John!!" I yelled at him. He shakily awoken from his slumber and I could see a sense of realisation hit him as well because he shot up and began sprinting down the hill, leaving me alone.
"Bye to you too, John!" I yelled before he waved and yelled back,
"See ya!"

I took my phone from my back pocket and my eyes widened when I saw the load of text messages sent to me.

Peggy stared wide eyed at her phone.
"Fuuuuu..-"
She carefully walked down the hill and made a run for home, no matter how tired her legs were.
Once she made it there, she climbed up her ladder and back through het window. As soon as she turned around, there stood an angry, wide eyed, dumbfounded Angelica Schuyler.
"WHERE WERE YOU???!!!!!" Angelica screamed at me. I turned pale and looked down, not being able to look her in the face.
"U-uh.. I-I-I.. Um.."
