Alexa. (#1)

(10)

Comfortable silence settles between us and I decide to sleep for a bit till we reach the place, I already have a headache.
_____________

"Alexa? You're okay?" I can hear a distant voice say, waking me up from my peaceful slumber. I groan and turn my head the other side, not wanting to wake up.

"Alexa?" I hear the voice again and I groan yet again, I try to open my eyes but they just seemed to be glued together. Then I remember the blindfold and I face palm myself mentally. I straighten myself up and sigh.

"Are we there yet?" I say, yawning.

"Yeah, hold up a second, I'll come and open your door." Noah says as I hear his door open the close. I feel my door open then a hand grabbing my forearm gently, pulling me out of the car. I get out of the car carefully and start walking slowly, Noah keeps pulling me gently. Suddenly, I feel my self falling forward, realising this, I put my free arm across my face, Noah tightens his grip on my forearm and he catches me before I fall. I can feel my face inches from the ground.

"You're okay?" He asks worriedly. I nod and mumble a 'yeah' as I get up.

"My bad." He says, I can hear the grin on his voice. I mentally glare at him.

"Did we reach the place?" I say.

"Yeah, stay here." He says. I nod warily. I hear some rumbling and the sound of paper when you squish it in your hands. I feel a hand on my other forearm and yet again pulling me.

"Sit here." Noah instructs me and I oblige. Then I feel his hand at the back of my neck and chin, tilting my head up. I raise my head up warily, gulping.

"Brace yourself." He whispers as he takes off the blindfold. I blink a few times but then gasp.

The whole sky was full of stars, literally. Bright stars, yellowish and whitish in color, you could see constellations and galaxies, where they are in reality just.... Stars. Slowly, one by one, they shine, the forget-me-nots of Angels. I gasp at the view of the moon, looking brighter than all of them. The view was simply breathtaking.

I turn my head to Noah who was watching me with a small smile on his face.

"W-where did you find this?" I say, looking at them again.

"This cliff, is where I used to come to when I wanted to think. I discovered it once when I was on a road trip with Aiden and Zach, we took a wrong turn and then we found the woods and trees were surrounding us and then, we found this. We ended up camping here for 3 days. It was Sophomore year." He says, looking at the stars yet again. I look at the sky, as it looked like a big, black rug with silver and gold glitter all over it. I grin at the stars as I stare at it. I start to lower my gaze as it comes to where I am. We were at the edge of a cliff that looked over the whole town, practically half of town are asleep now, as all the lights are turned off. I hear the paper sound again and I look at Noah, then I notice the McDonald's bag in his hand. He takes out the burgers and fries and puts them on the mat that we were sitting on, which I notice just now too. I look at him weirdly. He raises an eyebrow.

"What? I am sure you didn't have lunch." He says. I sigh and nod. He hands me a Big Mac and unfolds his own. I do the same and bite into the burger. God, I missed this burger. I take a fry and eat it as well.

"So, Noah, can I ask you something?" I say nervously before taking another bite. He nods and shrugs.

"Why do you need the 5,000$?" I blurt out. He looks at me, stopping at mid bite. He sighs and takes his bite.

"Well, Sunshine, you see, I am a street fighter." he says and I almost spit out the food.

"What?" I say dumbfounded.
