the arctic monkeys series [5sos]

08

By now it was close to midnight

And you couldn't see anything

Except for the faint outlines

Of our silhouettes

Running through the streets.

"Where's the nearest store?"

I asked her

And even though she

Was slightly drunk

We seemed as alive as ever

With a sparkle in her eyes.

"I don't know."

And she grabbed my hand

And pulled me along behind her

Heading nowhere particular

But enjoying every blissful moment

Of pure freedom.

We reached a 24 hour convenience store

Roughly ten minutes later

And my stomach was moaning for gummies.

"Finally"

I muttered

As we walked into the store

Hand in hand

Like toddlers strolling around the playground.

The man behind the counter

Glanced up at us

With a bored expression

Before returning back to his newspaper.

"Let's feast, shall we?"

Rose whispered

Trying to act casual

As she eyed the cashier.

I didn't understand what she meant

But as she brought me my gummies

And fetched an Arizona

From the refrigerated section

I knew exactly what she was saying.

She took a seat

In the back corner of the store

Far away from the cash register

And hidden by aisles and aisles of food.

"We have to stay quiet

When opening the bags

Or he'll hear us"

Rose said in a hushed voice

Her breath warm and tickling my face.

I opened my gummies slowly

Careful not to make a sound.

We ate and drank and giggled

All while trying not to get caught

And the only thing I was really aware of

Was not my flaws

Or her flaws

But both of our existences

Here together

And I realized

That with her company

I would no longer be sad

Or lonely

Or do any more bad things.
