Luke's POV

Our lips moved in sync perfectly. The kiss was slow, yet passionate and meaningful. It was like we were making up for all we've lost. It felt like we were the only ones there. The rest of the world was black and white, and we were screaming in color.

After a few moments, we both pulled away slightly. I couldn't help but notice the huge grin on her face, only to realize I have one on mine as well. I can't explain what she does to me. She makes me happy, she makes me want more from just a simple touch. I know our lives are extremely complicated at this point, and we are practically a mess, but I don't care. I love her with everything I have, and I just want to make her happy and be with her forever. I wouldn't want to be with anyone else. I'd be perfectly okay with just staying in bed with her cuddling and watching movies for the rest of my life. She's my everything. She's all I need.

Yes I was in love before. But this is a different kind of love. I could never do that to her now. It seems impossible. My ego seems to have disappeared everytime she pops into my thoughts. Who cares what people think when you have the person who makes you happier than anyone else?

"Let's just hang around today. We still don't know eachother fully, you know." I remarked. It was true. I don't know much about her family or her past, as she doesn't know much about mine. It just never came up before, and whenever it did she'd quickly change the topic.

I saw her face pale, and I felt my features soften. I placed her hand in mine, giving it a slight squeeze.

"Clarissa, you can trust me with anything. I want to know everything about you; every secret, every embarrassing moment, every bad day, every good day, your family, your friends, your pet peeves, the things you adore, everything. And after you tell me, I will still love every inch of you." I reassured as the corners of her lips tugged into a small smile.

"Okay, fine." She agreed.

We moved onto the couch sat right next to eachother, with her head leaned against my chest. I played with her hair waiting for her to begin to tell me her life story.

"My life was simple, my father, brother, mother and I had a great life. My brother is 25 now, which is why you don't really know of him. His name is Brentyn, and we'd never really been close. Sad, I know. But when I was about 10 and he was 17, that's when we stuck together and became a bit more close. My sister was 11, she and I were very close. We told eachother everything. My mother and father seemed to constantly fight over the littlest things which would turn into huge things. My mom caught my dad cheating, as you know, and they divorced. My dad moved out, and we never heard from him again. I was devastated, as for my siblings. My brother and my mom did everything they could to protect Claire and I from it. After that was when my mom became depressed. She would never smile or laugh anymore when she used to do it so often. My brother, Claire and I tried everything to make her happy again, but it just didn't work. Soon my brother left for college, and it was just my lonely mom, Claire and I. We rarely spoke to our mom unless necessary. It became just plain sad. I hated it. After our breakup, I became depressed as well. I never ate, and she seemed to notice. That's when she took action. She realized she needed to actually become a mother for us. She apologized to us and of course we forgave her. Since then she's always been there for us. Claire soon moved out as well, and the silence wasn't there anymore. My mother became her chirpy self again. I couldn't of been more glad. That's why I fell for you so hard. You distracted me from what was going on at home. You made me happier than I had been in a while, and it felt nice while it lasted. That's also why I hated you so much after. I saw you as my father. It made me think all guys were cheaters or players in the end. I believed there was no such thing as love or happy endings. I hated you so much for it. I despised you. I'm so glad we were brought into eachothers lives again however, because I don't know where I'd be without you. Probably still sulking back at college. You bring out the best in me Luke, and I'm so grateful for you." She finished, a smile plastered across her face.

"Wow, I had no idea you had to go through all that. I'm so sorry I did that to you, I couldn't regret it more. I love you, and I'm never going to hurt you again. I'm going to be here for you, and I'm never going to leave." I smiled, pressing a light peck against her lips.

"Okay, now can I hear your story?" She pleaded, her teddy bear brown eyes peering into mine.

"Um, sure." I spoke, trying to figure out where to begin.

"Well, my story isn't nearly as eventful as yours. I grew up without any siblings. My mom and dad would always fight, the screaming and yelling was unbearable. They didn't even take a second glance at me, ever. I thought maybe if I couldn't be noticed at home, I could be noticed at school. I did everything I could to fit into the popular crowd. Soon enough my reputation meant everything to me. I was dared to make a girl fall in love with me and break her heart in the end. I somehow chose you. Wether it was the way you were too shy to mutter a word to anyone, or the way you looked so adorable while looking so innocent. You were a mystery to everyone because you never said a word to anyone. I wanted to see the pain behind those beautiful brown eyes of yours. But soon I fell in love as well, and I totally forgot about all of that. I just wanted to be with you. That is, until you fell in love. My friends knew about it. They kept pressuring me to break your heart. I tried saying no, until they accused me of being in love with you. I quickly denied it and agreed to break your heart for the sake of my ego. It was honestly the biggest mistake of my life. Cheating on you following right after it. My ego has somehow became a big problematic, but now I don't even care about it. My ego is nothing compared to you. You are my everything. You make me so happy, and I love you so much. I don't know what we are right now, but I would love for you to be my girlfriend?" I asked, feeling a heavy weight lifted off my shoulders.

Her eyes instantly lit up. A huge smile came about her face, making me smile as well.

"Of course Luke, I'd be honored to be your girlfriend. I'm so glad we've cleared this up, I've been so confused about us lately. I know we obviously won't be able to be together as much as we want, but I'm glad we can call eachother our own. I love you too Luke, so much." She answered. If my smile was any wider I think my cheeks would explode.

I pressed my lips against hers one again. Our lips moved against each other's perfectly. The man butterflies erupted in my stomach. She wrapped her hands around my one I before depending the kiss. It sent shivers down my spine as her mouth molded perfectly against mine.
