1:59 AM

“wait a minute. where did you say we’re going?” i ask, my eyes wide.

“oakland cemetery,” he repeats.

“no. no. just no. turn the car around. we’re going home. i am not going to a cemetery at 2 o’clock in the morning. this is not happening. you can’t force me.”

i cross my arms and look around at the dark streets of atlanta. out of all the things we could possibly do in atlanta, he wants to break into a ing cemetary? he’s gonna kill me. he’s secretly a psychopath. i walked into this. i have a crush on a serial killer. he’s taking me to a cemetery. i don’t know what i expected from this trip but this was definitely not it.

“you can wait in the car if you want, but oakland cemetery is a historical landmark and i want to see it no matter what time it is. some of georgia’s founders are buried there, isn’t that cool? there’s also some really cool architecture there. i’ve read up a lot about that place. it seems awesome.”

“okay, yeah, historical landmark, georgia’s founders, alright, that’s cool and all but dude. it’s a cemetery. and it’s 2 o’clock in the morning. are you ing crazy?”

“no, not at all. are you scared?”

yeah i’m scared! do you know how many people there are there? do you know how many ghosts are probably there?

i scoff, “uh, no. i am not scared. it’s just -- they’ll probably think we’re, like, graverobbers or something!”

“well, if we’re not scared it’ll be pretty easy to not get caught, right?”

“i mean, i--”

“look, it’s right over here. i’m gonna park down the street and we can walk there. or, if you want, you can nap in the car until i get back. you are looking pretty tired,” he says with a smirk.

tired, my . my eyes are glued open from all of the caffeine and sugar i consumed in the past few hours. he knows i’m not tired. when he parks the car and gets out, i go with him. my pride is going to be the death of me one day.

we walk about five minutes before we get to the cemetery and the gates are closed and locked.

we are going to break into a cemetery. why am i even doing this?

i sigh and turn to him, “are we really gonna break in?”

“free admission is always best. do you need a boost or can you climb the fence?”

he’s nuts.

“give me a boost,” i say as i walk up to the fence.

i’m also nuts.

i hold onto the black fence that looks like it could kill me if i lost my footing on my way over and wonwoo lifts me up by my waist. i bring my feet up as far as i possibly can and pull my way up. very carefully, i step over the spikes and turn myself around and i stop for a split second while i’m up there and look down at wonwoo.

yes, i looked down at wonwoo. man, being up high is great. he actually looked up at me. this is great. i feel like i rule the world. i feel like a giant. like i could just take one step and--

crash

“!”

and now i’m on the ground and my leg is bleeding and i think my head might be too. well, it was nice while it lasted.

i try to sit up and somehow wonwoo’s already at my side. he put his hand on my head and, , this hurts.

“don’t touch me, it hurts!” i yell.

“calm your , you’re gonna get us caught,” he says and takes his black sweater off.

he holds it up against my forehead way too hard for it to be okay and i swat it away.

“dude, you’re bleeding a lot. pressure’ll make it stop faster. just hold this there, i gotta get your leg too.”

i take it from him and hold it against my head, even though it hurts like a , and he grabs my knee, which also hurts like a . my knee isn’t that bad, only a few scrapes and a pretty big bruise. i’m not really too sure what he’s doing, honestly. he’s just, like, holding the part that’s bleeding. he looks like he knows what he’s doing, though, so i don’t say anything until he flicks something off of my leg and--

“! what the hell are you doing?” i half-yell, half-whisper.

he hushes me and lays my leg flat which hurts a lot more than having it bent. i look at my knee and there’s quite a bit more blood than there was a second ago.

“there was a rock stuck in your knee. it was keeping you from bleeding, but the longer that rock stays in your knee, the more likely it is that it’ll get infected,” he says, sounding all smart.

i don’t say anything and i sort of blank out, just staring at his face with the one eye that isn’t blocked by his bloodied sweater. it’s a good thing that i made someone with good instincts drive me around. i mean, i probably wouldn’t have gotten hurt at all if joshua drove me instead, but still. wonwoo tending to my wounds is pretty nice, even if he’s not being very gentle. actually, he looks like he’s being pretty gentle, but it still hurts like hell.

“alright,” he says, snapping me out of my daze, “get on my back.”

“what?”

“get on my back. i’m gonna piggyback you ‘cause if you walk on your leg for a while, i’ll never be able to get you back over the gate and we’ll be stuck here until someone realizes we broke in. come on,” he says and turns around.

i climb on and, god, this is so awkward. while he’s standing up, i’m like 95% sure i’m gonna fall, but i don’t. when he gets his footing, he hops a little to get me up higher and i hold on a little tighter. i hope i’m not choking him. that would . what if he just passed out because i was holding on too tight and i was choking him and he just couldn’t breathe and didn’t say anything because he’s too nice for his own good and then i couldn’t get out of here by myself and i can’t drive either so he would die and i would get arrested for trespassing. maybe i shouldn’t hold on so tight.

a/n: man so when i was writing this chapter i accidentally deleted the entire thing and i freaked out but i found out how to find my revision history in google docs(thank god) and after a mini-heart-attack i got most of it back but then i realized i didn't have the whole thing so i had another mini-heart-attack but i went back to the revision history and got the whole thing back.

basically, i am never going to attempt to upload a chapter from a computer that is not mine again xD

i will hopefully be finishing this whole cemetery scene later on tonight. i didn't want to have an extra long chapter in a fic with all short chapters, though, so i just ended it here. please comment your thoughts!!
