• There are some songs that are just MEANT for long drives with a boy you like. Some boys are smart enough to play them. You Had Me At Hello - A Day To Remember Playing Favorites - The Starting Line Sunday Drive - The Early November (^even though this ones sad) So wanna hear a story? It's called Courtney's Night, Which Of Course Didn't Work Out How It Was Supposed To So Amber and I were supposed to go to the boardwalk at like 6, and Max and Chris (the kid she's with) would meet us there around 6:30 or so. We get there, and it's perfect out. Kinda foggy, and maybe a tad cool, but I'd rather that. Amber and I sat out by the water and stared out over it, getting ourselves excited about what would happen when the boys got there. We knew Chris would finally ask her out, since they've been 'together' for about a month. He wanted to do it on the jetti. Max apparantly wanted to hook up with me. That sounds skeezy... he'd just wanted to kiss me, ya know. Cuz we get along, and like each other I guess. We've only hung out like 3 times, but I was definately into him, so I was reeaaaally excited he was coming. But then, Amber gets a phone call from Chris. "Heeey, um Max has a meeting for work at 8 so we can't come to the boardwalk but me and him can come pick you guys up from there and we'll drop him at work and then get him after the meeting..." Basically, we were pissed. Everything was so perfect, and then just like that it wasn't. Ugh. But whatever. They got there and Max hugs and me goes "I'm sorrrryyyyy! I hate my job!" We hop in Chris's car. Amber and I trying our best to sulk in the back, Max and Chris making us laugh hysterically from the front. They both kept choosing reallly cute acoustic songs to blast. I almost peed my pants when I saw Max switch the song and heard the opening chords to You Had Me At Hello by A Day To Remember. It's one of my favorite songs. Sing that to me, and I'll be puddy in your hands. I gasped really loud when it came on and grabbed Amber's arm. "My song!" I whispered to her. Max saw me. He tried to hide his smile and turned it up a little. I sang it to myself, losing myself in the softness of Max and Chris's voices. I glanced over at Amber and saw that Chris was reaching back from the driver's seat with one hand and toying with Amber's fingers. Every once in a while he'd turn and sing to her, or mouth something to her. She told me later he was telling her he loved her. I leaned my head against the window, but didn't let my eyes leave Max completely. Every few lines, he'd sneak a look at me. I couldn't help but smile. Unfortunately, Circut City was a lot closer than I thought. And his meeting was a lot longer than EVERYONE thought. I spent the next to hours driving around with the cutest couple in existence. Seriously. They're perfect together. I can't even describe it. They just always have so much... FUN. But it wasn't awkward. Amber's my best friend, and Chris has made himself my new best friend. He's probably one of the funniest people alive. With Chris, you always feel welcome. So it was fun, but inevitably lonely. The backseat is a big empty place when you're the only one back there. By the time Max got out of his meeting, it was 10:00, and they had to go visit their friend who just got in a car accident. Car ride home was nice - we were talking, laughing, a little bit of cuddling. When we pulled up to Amber's house, Chris kicked Max and I out of the car because he needed to talk to Amber. They drove away a little bit, leaving Max and I alone. We laughed and what not. Then we looked over to the car and Max goes "Are they still making out?" I laughed and nodded. Then it got really wierd. He goes, "Yeah, I'd ask you to, but..." So I was like, "...but?" He looked off towards the car and scratched his head. Then he said, "Well, you're 16. My little brother's 16. It's... idk it's wierd!... It couldn't happen, ya know?" I looked down. "Oh, hah yeah true..." I wasn't even hurt by this. Just extremely comfused. I had no idea what any of it even meant. Especially when he looked away and said, "Or maybe it could..." I looked up at him, even more confused. He smiled and said some witty funny comment that sparked another one of our funny conversations. I forgot about what had just happened for the time being. Until I got back to my house. I really have no idea what he meant. I'm hanging out with him on Friday, I think. Maybe I'll figure it out then. Amber's convinced he likes me. He's a nice boy. I hope she's right... Boys, we are SO not the confusing ones. It's allllll you.
