Because I Know Everything
He held on tight to his best friend’s hand, she looked really nervous. “Calm down Taylor! We’re going to be fine!” Joe laughed “You don’t know that!” She said shutting her eyes tight. “yes I do!” Joe said “how?” “because, I know everything!”. She opened her eyes and looked at him skeptically “you don’t know everything” she said, now it was his turn to look at her skeptically. “I don’t? Please, enlighten me, what don’t I know?” “I can’t tell you, it’s a secret” she said laughing and looking over the edge.
She started to feel sick looking at the long drop that was ahead of them. “Why can’t you do this with Kevin? Or Nick? Why don’t you do it with Nick?!” she pleaded trying to get her friend to reconsider his crazy request. “Because Kevin and Nick aren’t my best friend in the whole world! Who is apparently keeping a secret from me…C’mon!!Tell Danger what it is you’re hiding” He said trying to pry it out of her. “Uh-uh not telling” She backed away from the edge a little bit.
“C’mon, I’ll tell you my secret if you tell me yours” he tempted “you’re keeping a secret from me? Your best friend?!” she said faking hurt. “Aww poor baby” he teased “Mhm, just for that, I’m really not telling you!” she said and looked over the edge again. “Tell me!!!!” he begged, he got down on his knees and put a pout on his face “You can’t say no to this!” “Oh please Joe, I invented that! I’m immune to it” “hmm well if that doesn’t work…” he stood up and walked towards her “Joseph Adam…what are you doing?” she said suddenly getting nervous. He just smiled and walked over to her and began tickling her. “Oh..my…God! Joseph!!STOP!!” “Not until you tell me!” he said smiling knowing that his plan was working. “Ok..Ok..UNCLE!” she cried and he let go “Good girl” he smiled “now…is there something you want to tell me?” “yes there is…SEE YA AT THE BOTTOM!” she said and jumped off the top of the waterfall into the waiting lake below.
Joe stood there with his mouth open in pure shock that she would leave him like that, and then took a running jump into the water right behind her. When he emerged at the surface she was standing there waiting “Took you long enough” she laughed. “Yeah, yeah…you still have to tell me!” he said “You first” she laughed “fine…my secret is…I love you Taylor” “haha I know that silly, I love you too” she said and started swimming around again. “No, Tay you don’t get it…” he said swimming over to her grabbing her waist and making her stand still in front of him. “I’m IN love with you” her eyes searched his face for a hint of humor, but there was none. “Joe…” “I’m sorry…I shouldn’t have said anything” he looked ashamed and let her go. She lifted her hand to his face “You stole my secret” “what?” “my secret is that…I love you Joe” he looked down into her eyes and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her and right as they were about to part she pushed his head under the water. “haha! Catch me if you can!” she laughed and swam away “Yeah, that’ll be hard!” Joe laughed and went after her.
