"Get me out car! I not want to be here!" Arthur yelled, making me almost scared that he'd try swerving my Lambo. I had to watch the road and watch him as he was prodding at the knob that kept the door locked. Good thing it was child proof, for incidents like this!

"Arthur you need to listen to me-."

"I just want to be with Nathan. I want break. This not nice! Let me out!" He yelled again, making me shake my head in annoyance.

"You're not getting out until we get to where I need to go." I hiss, making him glare at me; almost frightening me as I distract myself with facing the road again.

"I demand to know where we go." He sneers in a voice two octaves lower than before. I almost get a chill as he just keeps giving me that crazy look.

Shaking my head I keep my ground, realizing that I'm close to my location as we come upon trees and such. From the side of my eye he looks like he came upon a horror film.

I haven't been in a forest in awhile. A Lamborghini isn't designed to be in a forest, but I'll make it work if it'll make him stop being mad at me. Besides, I can just buy a new one or get a new paint job.

Now driving in silence, we just listen to the crunching of rocks as my tires drive over them. The car making it seem like we were flying and he seemed to begin to relax.

When I glanced at him he just gave me a poker face, making me face forward. I didn't know what to think or what to make out of his little funk. All I know is that he's mad, because of me.

"Prefer the quiet?" I ask, and he grunts. I'm taking that as a "yes".

"Anything you want to share - besides wanting to get out the car?" I ask, and he rolls his eyes.

"It night and I not know where you take me. Just know I not want to die-."

"I'm not going to kill you!" I growl, making him smile." Just going to make you stay here for the whole night-." He began to reach for my steering wheel-"with me!" I add, making him stop.

"What? You and I will be in woods and dark at night? Together?" I nod." That not good."

I roll my eyes, shaking my head as I come onto a bumpy trail; telling me we're getting closer.

"You know, you'll really like this! It's fun and we can spend time together-."

"You force me."

"You don't want to spend time with me?"

He doesn't answer, making me know he wants to.

"We're getting close so just sit back and enjoy this ride. Stare at me if you want or just look at the sky or do whatever you want; I'll be right here. I'll be waiting for you to speak to me."

He gives me a weird look, I don't know how to describe it, but it was different.

"I will talk to you if you tell me where we go."

I narrow my eyes, trying to see if he was making it up. But I decide to believe him, facing forward as I sigh.

"We're going on the mountainside near the famous Hollywood sign. We're going to be here all night then watch the sunrise; together." I explain, and he has his eyebrows raised.

"Hollywood sign?"

"Yeah-."

"The cool sign with actual letters on mountain! In France I see people talk about it and I always want to see it! This is cool! How you know?!" He asked excitedly, and I blushed.

"If I'm being honest, I had no idea you liked the sign. I always used to go here in my Range Rover and would sit in the car, watching the sunset or rise. Whenever my parents went on trips I'd do that, but ever since you came I have been neglecting that little thing I did... You're the first person I'm showing." I admit, and he smiles.

"Je suis honoré." ( I feel honored ) He murmurs, smiling as I blush.

I turn a corner, seeing the clearing as I drive through. Seeing the fence and the sky as I park the car in front of a fence. Glancing at Arthur as he looked like he was looking at the most amazing thing in the world.

Stepping out the car I walked to the fence, leaning against it as I looked at the sign. Seeing the cities lights and the horizon stretch on.

I look as I see Arthur come beside me, grinning as he faced the horizon. His hand reaching out towards something as if he was going to touch the city.

"It pretty. I never knew city look like this above here. In city it seems closed off and huge. But you see it true beauty up here... I see LA different now." He says, making me smile." I feel like I rule Hollywood up here. Pick up building and move it and can hear the cars. I feel...amazing."

I appreciate his speech, liking it as I could look at the cities horizon. But I was looking at him as he smiled.

"You have such white teeth." I suddenly say, making him look at me." They glow in the dark."

"That...interesting thing to say of all time." He chuckles, and I blush in awkwardness." But Merci Beaucoup."

I nod, facing back forward. Then that's when I see him looking down at me, grinning as he just stared. Is that what I looked like?

"You are a beautiful thing to behold. I could look at you all day. This horizon not match up to you."

I blush again, covering my cheeks.

"Merci Beaucoup. Considering this last month, it's starting to just feel like a-."

"Bad dream." We say at the same time, making me smile as he nods.

"I say nightmare for me. For you, you just the protagonist/antagonist." He says, making me snort.

"I'm...I'm sorry about the last three weeks now. It was wrong of me to do that. I-."

"It fine. But nothing you say will make it go away or change... It fine though. I over it. Let's just stop talk about it." He says, and I nod.

"But why didn't you defend yourself? You're bigger than everyone and can be scary when you want to be-."

"Because I not want to make worse revolting. No point, Nathan not really help arguing; but he being good friend."

I roll my eyes at Nathan's name, over him and his annoying ass.

"It makes me sad thinking about it." I say honestly, and he shakes his head.

"Why do you keep talk about it? It annoying. It done and over!"

"But it isn't though!" I face him as he faces me at the same time." If it was 'done and over' you wouldn't be getting angry about it-."

"Of course I angry over it! Who wouldn't after being bullied over nothing! 'Cause of mis - under - the standing! I am try to get over it but you keep bring it up!"

"Yeah because I want to fix it!"

"You not fix this! You one that treat me bad as well, mostly you!" He shouted, up in my face as he looked the most pissed about the situation right now. The most I've ever seen.

"I said sorry." I mumble.

"And I say it fine. Now shut up and stop talk about it." He growls, making me flinch.

I look away, him stepping back as he walked off. Letting me know he went in the car as the door slammed.

"Obviously it isn't fine if you're yelling at me..." I mumble to myself, for some reason feeling tears build up at the edge of my eyes.

I didn't like the feeling that was sitting in the pit of my stomach. Made my throat tight and my heart ache.

I walk to the car as I go inside, sitting down as I look at him. Seeing his eyes closed as he had the seat all the way back so that it was like a bed.

"Guilt..." I croak, facing the other way as I let my seat go all the way down. Feeling bad...the guilt was killing me!...I just want him to forgive me and put this behind us.

But it's impossible! I wouldn't forgive myself either with all the things I did to him and had others join in on too! I was the person that made his life hell, even though I told him I like him. I even broke the promise!

I'm horrible, I know that now. I hurt the ones I supposedly care mostest about. Arthur for example...

"I'm sorry..." I whisper loud enough for him to hear. When I don't get a response I just close my eyes, sniffing so that no tears came out.

Tears of guilt.

****

I open my eyes, them immediately burning from whatever light this was. Covering my eyes I sit only to find myself already sat at up.

Letting my eyes adjust I realize I'm outside. Being held in...Arthur's arms as he lays on the hood of my car. My body engulfed in his as he holds me to him, making me blush.

He got me out of the car and laid me in his arms? For what?

"The sun is begin to rise." He murmurs into my ear, and that's when I remember. I brought him here yesterday to watch the sunrise and right now...the suns rising.

I look at Arthur over my shoulder, seeing him grinning at me. Like yesterday didn't even happen, almost like we weren't even arguing.

"You got me out the car and onto the front of my car to watch the sunrise without waking me up?" I ask in astonishment, him smiling as he nodded.

"Quite easy task. Not hard if try. I not want you to miss the city wake up and paint by suns rays. It so pretty, watch with me."

I look, watching as the sun was barely getting up. So there was time to wait and just talk... To fix this at least.

"Arthur-."

"William I going to say this in French so that it all make sense," he cleared his throat as he grabbed my hand," Vous êtes une personne méchante qui va faire des pieds et des mains pour faire de la vie de quelqu'un l'enfer si cela interfère avec votre vie ou votre rêve. C'est une qualité que j'admire - mais je la méprise aussi." ( You're a mean person who will go out of their way to make someone's life hell if it interferes with your life or dream. That's a quality I admire - but I also despise it. )

I nod, understanding completely; that was true and it was sad that it was. I just couldn't help it...it's a guy thing and he should understand that just a little!

"Tu as seulement cru que je prenais mal ton rêve et que les autres le croyaient aussi. Considérant tout ce que nous avons fait ensemble, vous penseriez que vous seriez un peu plus doux et gentil avec moi. Mais tu n'étais pas, tu m'as juste fait passer d'être aimé au plus détesté. Toutes nos félicitations!" ( You solely believed I took your dream maliciously and made others believe so as well. Considering all we've done together, you'd think you'd be a little sweeter and kinder to me. But you weren't, you just made me go from being liked to most hated. Congratulations! ) He said sarcastically, and I don't say anything. What do you to that?

"Je ne devrais pas vous pardonner, quelqu'un que je connais - s'ils étaient dans cette situation, ils vous manipuleraient eux-mêmes ... La plupart ont fait preuve de ressentiment, mais je ne peux pas vous faire ça. Probablement ne devrait pas faire cela; Tu vas probablement me briser le coeur à nouveau. Mais je ... je t'aime trop pour ne pas te pardonner et laisser aller-." ( I shouldn't be forgiving you, anyone that I know - if they were in this situation they'd handle you themselves... Most put up resentment, but I can't do that to you. Probably shouldn't do this; you'll probably break my heart again. But I...I like you too much not to forgive you and let it go-. )

I interrupt him by just kissing him, happy he kissed me back as I twisted around until I was facing him. Pulling away as the sun hit me and the rays surrounded him. Making me grin as he smiled.

"You mean it?" I breathed, making him nod.

"Oui. Mais vous et moi sommes traversés par des étoiles." ( Yes. But you and I are star-crossed. ) He murmurs, making me frown.

"Why?"

"Parce que nous sommes contrariés par la malchance. Il y aura toujours quelque chose qui nous donnera de la malchance dans cet amour ... et cette malchance c'est toi." ( Because we are thwarted by bad luck. There'll always be something that gives us bad luck in this love...and that bad luck is you. ) He says, making me gulp.

"I don't mean to be the 'bad luck'. I just...I don't know-."

"The suns rising." He interrupts, making me look as I'm hit with blinding light. Shading my eyes, I watch as it comes up and it's rays does exactly what Arthur said they would do.

Expanding over the city and have yet to reach us as they slowly extend. I look at him, getting off my car as I pull him with me; taking him to the gate as it edged closer.

"Let's make a promise to one another in our heads. When the sun touches us let's live up to that promise and not break it." I say, and he snorts." And I promise I'll do better with my promises."

We look at one another and I make my promise; to be nicer and to be honest with myself on how I feel about him. The way he's looking at me makes me blush as I look away and see the sun close.

I smirk, watching it get closer and about to hit us and right when it was so close I'm yanked to the side. Lips smashing onto mine as I feel Arthur's arms hugging me. Pulling away as the sun shined on the both of us and was going past my car.

Making me look at him in awe as he smiled, giving me a chuckle.

"Who knew sunrises were so beautiful." He murmured closely, and I just blush like a freak.

"You didn't even see it." I mumble.

"Yes. See cheeks flush with ray of color, that my sunrise; and it beautiful." He says, and I laugh. Because that was by far the best compliment I've heard and was clever.

"Yeah, thanks for making my blushing account for something beautiful." I laugh, making him smile.

"Yes, of course I would. Look at you...every the thing you do is beautiful. You are beau." ( beautiful ) He compliments and I grin.

"You are too-."

"Not as much as William." He whispers into my cheek and I chuckle.

"I wonder what you were like in France..." I murmur, and he smiles as he pulls back, smirking as he raises his eyebrows.

"Tu veux fuir en France avec moi?" ( Want to run away to France with me? )
