save me

(Ivy's POV)

It's been about two weeks since I first went out with Zion. It felt really good to be out. At first I was very insecure and kinda freaking the hell out, but I got used to it and it was nice.

Zion and I have been hanging out all the time. It's almost like he is my boyfriend and I kinda wish he would just ask me already because I feel like I'm ready. But I think he's super scared to rush me into anything.

"Let's go, love," he says taking my hand. Right now we are taking a hike in some woods that Zion always goes to. There are so many trees surrounding us and it's so pretty out.

"How'd you even find this place?" I ask.

"I don't even remember," he says. "I think the boys and I were just driving around one day and we found it."

"Oh," I say. "I thought it was something special to you or something."

"Nah, just some woods we found," he says as we continue to keep walking. "The best part is at the end of the trail."

"What is it?" I ask.

He smiles, "You will see."

We keep walking until we end up at the end of the trail. There is nothing even here. The only thing I see is a bunch of trees. That's it.

"There is nothing here," I say.

He smiles and starts to walk forward off of the trail. I cross my arms, "Zion, what are you doing?" I yell while staying on the trail.

"Do you trust me?" He holds out his hand to me. I look at him like he's stupid. Of course I trust him which is so weird to me. I never thought I could trust someone since Justin.

"Well duh," I say with sass.

He chuckles, "Then come here."

I look at him for a few seconds and then I uncross my arms and I grab his hands. He helps me down the steep hill until we are on solid ground.

"You good?" He asks.

I nod my head yes and he wraps his arm around my waist. "Close your eyes." I rest my head on his shoulder and I close my eyes. He turns me around.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Just listen," he says, "What do you hear?"

"Water," I say.

"Open your eyes," he says. I open my eyes and in front of me is a huge ass waterfall. It's absolutely beautiful. The water is flowing down a huge rock and there is flowers surrounding it everywhere. This place is so magical. "Why are you crying?" He asks while wrapping me in his arms.

I wipe my cheeks and I realize that I am crying. I didn't even know that I was. My head right cheek rests against his chest and he just holds me in his arms.

"It's beautiful," I say. "And I'm just emotional because this is my first time getting to experience something like this with someone. I never got to do these things."

"Well get used to it because I'm going to surprise you and spoil you like crazy."

I pull away from his chest, but his hands still rest around my waist, "Thank you, Z"

He smiles, "I want to talk to you about something while we are here. I want to actually make this place special."

"How are you going to do that?"

"I know you might not be ready and that's okay. I completely understand," he pauses for a few seconds and looks me deep in the eyes, "But I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend?"
