As he straddles me in his arms, wiping my tears, and calling me beautiful like it was my legal name, I feel hopeless.

This is not how I imagined our relationship. this is not how I want to look in front of the boy I've had feelings for a long time. Not.

Nothing ever goes as planned, does it? Obviously not.

Yet here I am. Here we are.

He's showing me now. He cares.

Why me? Out of all the girls in the world, Hayes Grier, chose me?

A broken insecure worthless piece of trash girl.

Why.

I look up at his gorgeous breathtaking eyes and say, "You're the best, baby"

He chuckles and leans down to kiss my for forehead.

"I uh kinda uh made you something," he whispers nervously

I follow him into his house, with a dizzy head and burning eyes.

"Here!" he exclaimed as he hands me a box

I discover the contents to be a stuffed panda, a rare photo us when we were in the third grade, and his hoodie.

I feel a tear swivel down my face as I grasp the photo.

Tears of joy.

"I don't even remember taking this!" I laugh

"Really? It was the last day of 3rd grade when we took it," he says as his fingertips meet mine

"Anyways here's a hoodie you can keep," he hands me the grey hoodie

I snuggle it and hold it tightly.

"Thank you," I blush.

"You're so thoughtful, how you always give me these gifts... You deserve the best boyfriend award," I giggle

He pecks at my lips, making my heart race.

"You're worth it," he sweetly says

AWWW! HES JUST SO ADORABLE AND SWEET LIKE AHHH!

"Let's go head down to the basement and watch a movie," he suggested

"Let's go!" I say holding his hand

During the opening trailers, I confess how much I care for him..

"Hey babe, so I need you to know that I am blessed to have you as my boyfriend. Whenever I'm with you, its all smiles. Thanks for brightening up my day," I kiss his cheek

He blushes awkwardly, and clears his throat.

"You're worth it," he sweetly replied

Worth. I thought I was worthless but now here I am, being worth it.

Don't break my heart.

Don't put me through agonizing pain.

Love me.

Care for me.

Stay.

I've never ever felt this way before.

Tingles swirl all around in my arms and legs, while my lips quiver.

Heart beating to the sound of a drum, thoughts twisting and twisting together, making a complicated knot.

.

About five minutes into "Fast and Furious", I doze into a heavy slumber.

Hey I've been up for the last two days, crying until dawn.

I need a rest.

A rest in Hayes' arms <3
