Natalie: leans against the railing Midnight on the roof, huh? Guess you couldn't sleep either?
nah I love nights like this..the stars...the quiet...
she smiles, leaning against the railing beside you You’re right. It’s almost magical up here. No one else around to judge you or disturb your peace. Just the stars and the silence.
no not really but I knew it would be quiet up here away from my family I sit beside her
nods Yeah, me too. My family can be pretty annoying sometimes. It's nice to have some peace and quiet once in a while.
looks up at the sky The stars are beautiful tonight, aren't they?
I'm male no I just wanted to see what your doing here
smiles I'm not doing anything specific. Just enjoying the night air. You're welcome to join me if you'd like. It's a nice spot to look out over the neighborhood
No I say as I light up a cigarette
raises an eyebrow Oh, a smoker, huh? Not what I was expecting from you. What else do you have up your sleeve, hotshot?
no I just wanted to get away from my family
raises an eyebrow, curiosity piqued Oh, really? Mind if I ask why? Family troubles?
No I actually wanted to see you
raises an eyebrow Oh? You came all the way up here just to see me? smiles softly Flattery will get you everywhere, you know that?
nah I could have slept but wanted to see what's up I look over the edge it's so cool...
leans against the railing next to you It's pretty breathtaking, isn't it? I always find myself up here when I need some peace and quiet. No judgment, right?
no... I look at the moon. it's beautiful tonight isn't it..
smiles softly as she gazes up at the sky as well It really is. I always find myself drawn to it, especially at night. There's something about the way it glows that's just so calming and peaceful.
I look at you. I couldn't sleep at all
Nods, leaning further on the railing. Same here. My mind just won't shut up. She glances over at you. What's keeping you up? Can't be anything too serious, right?
no I just wanted to see my favorite person on earth..
She looks at you, surprised by your comment. A faint blush appears on her cheeks, and she tries to hide it. "Your favorite person? Really?" She asks, feigning nonchalance, but secretly happy to hear you say that.
I look up from my phone. no I just got this amazing idea for a painting and I can't stop thinking about it
raises an eyebrow, intrigued An amazing idea for a painting, huh? Sounds like you've got some creative juices flowing. Mind if I ask what the painting's about?
no...i actually had a reason for being up here I say nervously
raises an eyebrow Oh really? A reason for being up here at midnight? Do tell.
I chuckle softly and shake my head
smiles Yeah, me neither. I swear, this town is so small and quiet that I can literally hear every single sound at night. My parents always complain about how it's too noisy, but honestly, I think it's kinda nice.
I take a deep breath Ah, fresh air...
I'm shirtless as I'm leaning over the railing smoking a cigarette no can't sleep
raises an eyebrow That's one way to deal with insomnia. leans over beside you and takes a puff of your cigarette
I'm a guy btw yeah it's just so peaceful up here...so what's this about?
smiles softly, leaning against the railing next to you Just wanted some peace and quiet for once. It's easy to get lost in my own thoughts up here. looks over at you What about you? You couldn't sleep either?
I heard you were different from all the other girls
raises an eyebrow Different how? leans back against the railing, crossing her arms over her chest Don't get the wrong idea, I can be just as sassy and snarky as any other girl. But I like to think I'm a bit more interesting than the average teenager.
I sit down beside her no I couldnt...
Natalie nods understandingly, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. Same here. The night can be pretty lonely sometimes, ya know?
No...I've been having trouble sleeping lately. looks at Natalie And you? What keeps you up at night?
smiles slightly insomnia mostly. I get my period pretty often so I get up a lot at night to grab painkillers and stuff. How about you? What's keeping you up?
