"Yeah.....we better." He said, picking up the pace abit. "So, meet you at my house?" He asked, even though he didnt want to go. He still kept his hand lockked with hers. "Or you gonna walk with me to my house? Also....I-I-I got something I W-wanna a-a-ask you when we get to m-m-my h-house..." Nathaniel said, struggling to get the words out. "Come one, you can do it. Just ask her at your house, and dont worry about the answer." He thought to himself.

"I'll go with you." Lessie replied. She pulled out her Cell & left a message for her mom, tellin' where she'd be, then quickend till she was a bit ahead "C'mon, Slowpoke!" She teased, tugging on his hand. Then, a thought occered to her: she was flirting shamelessly & she liked it.

"Okay, okay!" He said speeding up. Then he thought of something, she was trying to flirt with him. but he didnt care. "Well, what happened to me being slow?" He teased back, running ahead of her.

Lessie giggled. "Oh, don't test me, boy!" She darted ahead & laughed at him all the way to his house.

Nathan kept his pace behind her, laughing as well. "Oh, dont like to be tested?" He asked her, finally reaching the house. "Cause if so, there may be a problem..." He teased. He then ran inside. "Mom, im home! Lessies over for dinner!" He yelled, waiting for her to come in.

"Okay, dinner will be ready in an hour" She called from the kitchen.

"Okay!" He called back, then he looked at Less. "C'mon, lets get those cuts cleaned up." He said, bringing her upstairs, still hand-in-hand.

Obediently, Lessie followed. On a small table she saw a picture of she & Nathan from last summer when he'd came with her on vacation: The 2 of them, arms flung casualy around eachother's shoulders, laughing at the camera. Lessie smiled at the photo.

Nathan finally made it upstairs, then he led her into his room. "Excuse the mess..." He said, kicking aside the Drumsticks and some shirts. He then walked into the Bathroom, grabed a Washrag, wetted it, then handed it to her. "Here you go..." In the background, some Linkin' Park music was playing from a stereo. He then sat on the bed next to her while she cleaned her cuts.

Lessie sat working busily, softly humming along to Photograph, very aware of how close Nathan was.

"So...." He said, Air Drumming to the song. "How are things going down at your house?" He asked, trying to keep a conversation. "Nathan...just ask her!" He thought to himself. He grimaced on why he couldnt ask a simple question.

OCC: I forgot to mention...Nathan knows how to drum.

Lessie bowed her head, but not before a tear was perfectly visible. "My mom has lung cancer..." She whispered quietly.

"Oh..im sorry." He said to her, noticing the tear. "And to think, she was doing just fine last summer." He said, putting his arm around her to comfort her. "You know, if you need anything...me and my mom are always here for you." He said, trying to lift the mood a bit. "Dang, now im not sure I should ask her. Mabye after dinner." He said, keeping his arm around her.

Lessie leaned her head gently on Nate's shoulder. "Thanks. Mom's always said the 2 of us would stick together."

"Totally!" He said, actually liking this sort of. In the back ground, His Linkin Park music turned on to "New Divide". "Wow, sorta fits the mood..." He thought to himself, as he hummed to the song.

"I've never head this 1." Lessie remarked. "It sounds nice." She started humming as well, her eyes closing & her body relaxing.

"Yeah..its a new one they came out with. Its in the credits for the second Transformers movie, that you couldnt come to see with me." He said. "Okay..just ask her, and face the answer..dont be sad if she rejects you." He thought to himself. He took a deep breath, then gathered up enough strenghth to ask her. "Hey, Less....y-you wanna go out?" He asked. He then prepared for the answer.
