We walked home hand in hand, although Tilly probably just thought of this as a best friend gesture rather than an 'i love you' gesture from me. It pained me how she could not see my awe for her. Maybe I wasn't being obvious enough? But today, watching her shoot her first ever shoot through the hoop, made me realise how in love i was with this girl. I still remember how gracefully she jumped up, her brown hair flowing in the wind behind her; the happiness in her eyes when she made it, and her smile. Oh that smile. I swear, it'll be the death of me one day. Her smile lit me up like the sun on a summers day. It was that warm and that contagious that I couldn't help but grin widely and blush a little whenever I saw it. It astounded me how she didn't know what she was doing to me - driving me crazy that is. My fathers words repeated harshly in my head, and I soon realised that I had to ask her out. Or loose her forever.

That boy. That one fucking boy. He's perfect in every single way and he doesn't even know it; the way his dirty-blonde hair hangs loose over his shimmering blue eyes, the way his smile lights up my world every time I see him, the gentle touch he uses as he caresses me when giving me a loving hug, and his god damn personality. He is a pure angel through his personality, and it's pretty obvious. I'd like to meet his Dad and put both his parents in a room together to thank them for the wonder of an angel they brought into this earth. His personality is what keeps me going - he can
be so harsh at times when protecting me, yet another side of him shows dominantly. The side that I love the most. The side that is loving, caring,
protecting, sweet and calming. I always feel so at peace when I'm around him. I wonder if he feels the same. I doubt it.

Sorry this chapter isn't too good and sorry it's short! I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing again, and I've forgotten how to write detailed! It may take a few chapters for me to get back into it. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this one! xx
