I follow after him as she starts back where we had come from and step out from the gate and jog across the street after him. We start off the couple blocks to the park, and I avoid looking at the cars that passed as if guilty of something.
Soon we get there and I start down the pathway to the swings, setting my book bag down and plopping down in one before pushing myself off.

Cole followed after him to the park, glancing around every now and then, expecting Jake to jump out and eat Alcatraz or something. Eventually they reached the park. Cole smiled and bounded after him over to the swings. He sat down on the one next to him, pushing himself off the ground lazily before moving his hands up the chains some. He could care less who saw him on a swing, in a tree, whatever.

I shift my grip on the chains and lean back, looking up at the sky and the bar overhead as I swung.
Soon I sit back up, making a face at the bloodrush back to my head. I glance over at Cole and offer him a grin before starting to swing again, soon going as high as I could. I couldn't help it- I was a daredevil. I lived on the edge!
Pft, in my dreams.
I chuckle at myself and slow down before jumping off, landing neatly on my feet before my momentum carried me to the ground. I chuckle, propping myself up on my elbow.

Cole giggled a bit as Alcatraz eventually hit the ground. He stopped pumping his legs, toes stretching to slow himf before he slid from the swing and grabbed Alcatraz's hand. "C'mon." He pulled him to one of the tallest trees in the park, stretchings for the lowest branch and hauling himself up before beginning to climb until he found the comfortable little spot big enough for two, with enough support that they wouldn't fall out. "I come up here alot.." He said, swinging his legs and waiting for Al. "Shawn and I use'to climb in a tree and hide there and waste the day away playing and telling stories, or haninm out after school the older we got. Sometimes he still does with me, but only if Jake is there to help him up and down when he needs it." The smile fell from his face and he stared down into his lap. "So..I do it by myself...'m good at makin' sure they can't find me..."

I sat up and watch as he came over to grab my hand and pull me towards a tree, a light blush crossing my normally pale cheeks.
I watch as Cole starts to climb before following him, making sure to be careful, I'd never been the most graceful of people. Soon I reach where he had stopped and scoot out onto the branch beside him, pushing my black dyed hair out of my face as my blue eyes roved around the park.
I frown as Cole speaks and reach over to take his hand in mine comfortingly, my thumb running across his hand as I looked down at my lap.

Cole blinked down a their hands, holding his tight and smiling at the feeling. "Sorry.. I get like that...can't help it," He sighed out. He played with Alcatraz's fingers gently. "I like sittin' in the quiet though...love the sound of the leaves in the wind.." He rested his head carefully on Al's shoulder so he wouldn't topple hem over.

"Its fine." I reply, shaking my head. I didn't mind, not really. I'd listen to Cole all day if he wanted to speak for that long. A smile crosses my face as he played with my fingers and I wiggle them playfully, chuckling softly. "And now I'm here to ruin the solitude." I say, sticking out my tongue at him. My blue eyes look out over the park, finally falling on the swings. "Aw, shit, left me bag." I mumble before shrugging, a blush crossing my face as Cole laid his head on my shoulder. "I can get it later." I continue, squeezing his hand happily. "Besides, I can see it, so I'll see if anyone takes it, though I highly doubt anyone would want it."

Cole smiled a bit. "I like havin' you to talk to..." Because he didn't neccesarily have to talk, wasn't for ed to..he could be himself.
He wrinkled his nose as Alcatraz stuck his tongue out and wiggled his fingers. He laced theirs together instead, oulling their hands into his lap and following the older male's gaze.

I grin and look away at his words before glancing back at him. "Thanks." I mumble, a light pink tinge crossing my cheeks. I swing my feet back and forth before chuckling as Cole wrinkled his nose. He laces our fingers together before pulling them into his lap and I look down before back at him.
"Do you wanna go to the game tonight?" I ask, my blue gaze lingering on our interlocked hands.
"It, uh.. c-could be a date if you wanted it to be." I add in a mumble, my face heating up. I'd never asked someone out before, let alone someone I'd already kissed- like Cole. I mentally cross my fingers and hope that he'd say yes.

Col blinked at him. "Ty's playing so I can go-" He paused when Alcatraz spoke again, and a blush colored his cheeks. A date...? He smiled at him shyly, burying his face in Alcatraz's neck. "I...I'd like that yeah," He admitted sheepishly, fidgetting by playing with Al's hand. He shifted his weight carefully so he wouldn't lose balance

I nod absently as he says that his brother was playing so he could go, then I watch the blush cross over his cheeks and I had a feeling that he'd say yes. A grin crosses over my face as Cole buries his face in the crook of my neck and says that he'd like going to the game as a date.
"Awesome." I breathe, not being able to believe my luck. Today I'd finally gotten some revenge on the jv players, made a friend, and, possibly in the future, a boyfriend. It was an amazing feeling. I want to sling my arm around his shoulders but he was holding my hand so I decide to just leave it.
"I have to admit, no matter how much I love being in your company, I'm scared I'm going to fall out of here." I say, shaking my head as I peered down at the ground which seemed to be a lifetime away.

Cole giggled into his neck softly. "I won't let you..." He insisted softly, finally straightening up. He drew up every last bit of courage and leaned in to kiss him softly on the lips, heart racing and cheeks hot. He smiled shyly into the kiss, unable to help doing so. It was amazing, that feeling, the rush he got. It scared him too but that was okay... This was a change he liked, no matter how sh he was about it.

I roll my eyes as he replies that he wouldn't let me fall out. I had pretty good balance, so I didn't think I would, but there was always that possibility. I look over at Cole curiously as he pulled back and a second later his lips were against mine. I lean into the kiss and hesitantly let my free arm wrap around his thin waist.
I was fairly sure I liked Cole, and not just because he was cute. I'd told him my story without having to be bullied to, and he'd accepted it as if it were normal. Sure, I hadn't gotten to the part were my parents did drugs, but I didn't really deal with them anymore, so it wasn't that big of a deal.. right? And he'd told me his past, and I hadn't asked him to. We could confide in each other, and that was a pretty big thing.

Cole smiled shyly, resting his head back on Alcatraz's shoulder. He looked down at the park quietly, sighing happily for once. "We can go back down there." He glanced at him in awe, straightening up so he could climb down if he liked. Cole wasn't one to be picky about doing things.

I open my eyes as he pulls back and I grin and look down at my lap. I look over at Cole as he speaks and I shrug.
"We don't have to if you don't want to." I say, though I'm already moving over to the trunk to grab the other side of the branch and starting down- being up here scared the crap out of me.
A couple moments later my feet hit the ground and I lean against the other side of the trunk casually to wait for Cole, crossing my arms over my chest.
