After sometime people starting leaving or getting kicked out cause they were drunk and causing a scene. So there wasn't that many of us left at the end.

Stephanie decided we should all sit around the fire and share some stories or play games.

So we did that for a while until I got really sleepy and I was sooo ready to go home, shower, and snuggle in my bed.

"Where are you headed?" I look down at Nick who has been my companion all night long.

"I think I'm going home now I'm really tired and it's really late." I say as I gather my things.

The whole time I felt his gaze on me. It even made me a little nervous.

"Okay I'll walk you to your car then and then I'll leave myself." He says

He also starts gathering his things not even waiting for my approval.

"Alright you ready?" He asks with this huge smile on his face.

"Yep." I say matching his smile.

"So did you have a good time?" I ask him.

"Yeah, I mean it was a little boring at first until I actually started spending time with you."

I look down to try and hide the huge smile that was forming, I couldn't even help myself.

"What about you?" He asks. I look up at him and he's just staring far into the distance of the night.

"Yeah I also had a good time." Was all I said.

He just did a slight nod and we walked back in silence the whole way back.

"Well this is my car." I say. Once again he nods and smiles at me.

He looks down to the ground with his hands in his pockets. At this point it's clear that it's a little awkward for the both of us cause we don't know what to say or do.

"Alright then I'll let you go then. You do seem really tired." This time I nod and give him a smile.

"Well okay then it was nice meeting you Nick, I'm going to go ahead and get in my car cause it's freezing out here." He laughs a little and agrees with me.

"Likewise Danielle. Make it home safely."

With that he opened the door for me to get in. I got into my car and he shut the door for me. I started my car and backEd out of Stephanie's drive way.

I waved at him one last time before heading out.

"Well Danielle this was a night." I say to myself

What the heck

I didn't even ask for his number. Hell I don't even know his last name to even remotely try to look him up on social media.

"What is wrong with me."

Well if he would've wanted mine he would've asked for it but he didn't. Meaning he probably didn't have any Intention on even seeing me again.

"Ok ok then its all okay, if he didn't ask for it he didn't want it." Was all I said to myself.

Whatever.

I think I should've still asked for it.

I finally arrive to my house and use my keys to get in.

All I could hear was silence.

Can you even hear silence?

I slowly walked to my moms room and opened her door sightly.

"Mom, mom I'm home." Was all I said I really didn't wait to fully wake her up cause then she won't be able to sleep again and then she'll get on to me the next day.

She slightly woke up and all she said was "ok"

I quietly walked back to my room and looked at the clock 2:00.

Holy crap!

Well at least there's no school tomorrow so I can get away with sleeping in.

The next morning I woke up to The sound of my phone going off. I reached over on my night stand trying to find it until I finally found it and tried shutting it off like I usually did every morning at this point I didn't even have to look at the screen, I already knew where the off button was at.

Except when I tried to press it this time it didn't go off meaning someone was calling me instead.

I rolled over to the side and squint my eyes as I looked at the screen.

Stephanie

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

Maybe I forgot something at her house, I think to myself.

I finally decide to answer instead of speculating like always "Hey"

"Hey Danielle, how are you?" She sounded wide awake unlike me who I had a groggy nasty voice like I had just woke up, which I just did but still.

"Good Stephanie still recovering from last night." I let out a small laugh giving that she probably already knew that.

"About last night..." she trails off. Suddenly I'm a little skeptical about what she was going to say because her voice had changed.

"One of the girls that was there last night wants to throw a bonfire now but at her house and she wanted me to invite everyone from yesterday." She says.

"Ohh ok I thought it was something else." I let out a sigh of relief and roll over under the blankets.

"No that was it." She states

"Well thanks for letting me know Steph I'll see if I can make it, will you be there?" I ask

"No I don't think so I have to go to a family wedding on my dads side and there's no way I'm getting out of that."

As soon as she says that I start debating wether to go or not. Yesterday Steph was the only one I knew so if she doesn't go today who am I supposed to greet first to make it less awkward?

"Okay then, well I hope you have fun at the wedding." I say trying to sound enthusiastic for her.

"Thanks Danielle. Well I have to go now my mom is yelling at me" she says her goodbye and we end up hanging up.

I roll out from under my blankets cause I was really suffocating under them. I look up at my ceiling and start thinking about last night again.

Once realization hits me my eyes go wide. If she's inviting everyone from last night then Nick is also invited meaning he might also go and I'll be able to talk to him.

I immediately start feeling excited about going to this bonfire tonight but sooner than later I remember I still have to ask for permission.

Usually mom lets me go out wherever but usually not one day after another. I don't know why moms do that tho.

I get out of bed and head to the kitchen. I hear my mom getting breakfast before she leaves for work.

"Goodmorning mom." I say with a big smile as I make my way around the table to hug her.

"Goodmorning." Was all she said. Usually my mom is very busy in the morning before work and doesn't have much time and she's also not that much of an affectionate person.

"So tonight there's another bonfire is it ok if I go." I get straight to the point given that if I take up more of her time she'll get aggravated and then she won't let me end up going tonight,

She stops make her coffee and narrows her eyes at me "again?" Is all she asked.

"Yeah please it was really fun last night." I say with a pleading tone.

"Well look do all the chores you have to do today around the house and then you can go." She starts making her coffee again and pics up her toast from her plate and starts eating.

"Alright I will then." I say with a big smile really ecstatic that it didn't take much convincing really I didn't take any combing at all.

She picks up her bag says a quick goodbye and heads out the door.

I run upstairs and change to get ready for my day ahead or doing chores.
