Arvin's POV

I've never really found love for myself or really being bothered about being in a relationship with anyone. That's why I despise Valentine's Day. Why do we need it if some day in the future they are just gonna get up and leave you? Guess I'll never understand what this day is actually for. I never thought i would fall in love with anyone at all till one day a girl from New York. She moved to Knockemstiff a month ago. I showed her around and we haven't stopped talking. I know I have some type of crush on her but I will never tell her cause emotions are not my thing. I don't show my emotions to anyone but Lenora. I told Lenora about her and now she just keeps on teasing me about it. Big mistake.

"Come on tomorrow is Valentine's Day and we all know she doesn't have someone and you don't so what's the worst that could happen" learn exclaims "um let me see she can tell me that she doesn't like me that way, she could hate me and many more awful things" I say rolling my eyes "you just don't want to fall in love" she says laughing "haha love whatever" I scoff at her "you don't believe in love?" She asks looking sad "what can I believe I haven't had someone to date since the start of high school look how that ended" I say getting off the sofa grabbing my cigarettes from the coffee and walking outside. "That's what your scared of that some high school love that wasn't true broke you and that's it that's why you don't want to fall in love" Lenora says following me outside. I put the cig in my mouth lighting it and taking a drag. "No it's not that" I look down hoping she won't ask what it was I was afraid of but then she asked. "Then what is it?" She sits in the rocking chair on the porch looking at me smiling wanting to know more. "You really want to know" I turn to her and she nodded her head "well my dad loved my mum very much that he would do anything to please her or to show her that he loved her but when my ma got sick he turned into something different. He made us pray for her soul thinking that God would save her" I chuckled at the last part. Lenora was gonna say something but I didn't let her "let me finish" she shut her mouth and listened to me "after we prayed we would go see ma and she looked worse than ever  and it broke me and daddy's heart. I had a dog called Jack. He was everything to me but one night my daddy sacrificed my dogs life for my ma but it didn't work so a couple weeks later she died. Then after her funeral and that. He went to pray log and he killed himself and that's how I ended up here" lenora looked down crying "that's why I'm scared. I'm scared that one day she might get up and start running or she might die in my arms like my mama did or kill herself like my daddy did. I don't want to lose the people I love because I don't want to say goodbye. So why should I have to say goodbye? I don't have to say goodbye because I don't have no one and it's for the best because I can't say goodbye anymore. That's how it should stay" i throw my cig to the floor standing on it and walking into the house leaving Lenora outside.

~ later on that night ~

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I opened it to be met by y/n. "What are you doing here?" I ask her. "I came to talk to you" my eyes widened "ok" i stepped outside with her not wanting to interrupt my grandma and sister watching some shit on the tv. Y/n smiled at me "so I actually came here to ask you to my Valentine's I know it sounds cheesy but it's true" she laughed nervously. I stayed quiet to think about what she said for 5 minutes. "So?" She says trying to get an answer. The answer appeared and I know it's not something she wants to hear but I have to "no" I say shaking my head trying not to show any emotion. "What?" She says looking hurt "I said no" I gave her a stone cold face "but I know you like me you showed me signs and-" I cut her off "I guess you got it wrong" she gave me a shocked angry look. I went to walk back inside till y/n shouted "you're scared!" I turn to her with an angry face "what did you say?" I ask "you heard me you're scared. You're scared that you're gonna end up like you dad" I give a confused look "how do you know about my daddy!?" I ask "I came round today to ask you but you was talking to Lenora I didn't mean to eavesdrop of your conversation but i overheard" she says out of breath. Once she catches she started to speak. "You don't have to be scared Arvin! Not of me because when I first saw you on my first day I knew that something was gonna happen between us two. I knew I liked you just by one look. I know you feel the same way. You don't have to hide it. I know it's scary falling in love but we can try. I will never leave you cause I know how it feels to be left. My dad left me when I was 10. I wanna show you what love really is like if you just let me" she says. I look down not knowing what to say. "I'll pick you up at 5pm tomorrow" I finally say looking up and smiling at her and walking out the door.

~ Valentine's Day ~

I got dressed in my usual clothes and got out to go knock on y/n's door. She opened the door in causal clothes too since we are going to a funfair. "You look really pretty" I said shyly. She chuckled at my shyness pecking my cheek and stepping out and locking the door. We got into my car and drove to where the funfair is held. Once we got there she grabbed my hand pulling me to the rides. We got on a few ones before eating and getting on another ride then home. (Sorry this is so shit)

We started to walk back to my car ready to drop her off home. We got in the car and started to talk more like we was doing at the fair. "So what did you think of the date then?" I ask starting up the car "it was perfect thank you" she says smiling and I start to drive. We made small talk till we came to a stop and got out. I grabbed her hand and walked her to her door. She turned to me once we got to the door "did you feel anything today then?" She giggled. I didn't say anything or laugh. I did the one thing that made me scared but worth it. I kissed her. She kissed me back. It passionate then we separated cause we needed air. "I'll take that as a yes so do you wanna be my forever Valentine" she giggles and I chuckle at her smiling "of course" she kissed me again and we separated. "Night arvie" she smiled going into her house "goodnight princess" I say smirking. I went home to see Lenora smiling at me "so? How did it go?" She smiled "it went great and we are together"I say blushing looking down. "Yay I knew you could do!" She cheered clapping her hands and getting up from the sofa giving me a hug "I'm happy for you arvin" I smile "thank you" I say smiling knowing now that I know what love feels like and I'm never letting go of that.
