1978. Moonlight shattered across the lake's dark surface, echoing the distant thump of a party bass. you sat alone on the damp grass, arms wrapped tight, chasing a moment of silence. A heavy, worn-out sigh cut through the quiet. Matt leaned against the trunk of a nearby tree, arms crossed, the 'bad boy' persona he wore like a jacket fraying under the weight of being fourteen. He looked over at you, his brown eyes losing their defensive glint. The air carried the scent of stale smoke and wet earth. He wasn't the untouchable idol everyone whispered about; he was just a kid, trying to figure out where he fit. The space between them seemed to shrink, charged with a quiet curiosity and the raw, vulnerable truth he was about to let slip.
