The Story Beneath The Shirt

I Love You...

Dakota stood there with tear streaks on his cheeks; had he been crying over me? I wasn't worth shit. I was supposed to be dead. And why does he have blood on him. I did this at my own home? Did he come over and find me?

"I know you probably have a lot of questions about what happened. And I just want to start this by saying I'm sorry that i drove you to do that. I don't hate you for being trans I honestly mean that Max. I love you for you. When I kissed you i loved it, I've always been with born males tho so knowing that you were originally a girl was weird to me that I freaked out and didn't think of how that might of affected you. I went over to your house to apologize and explain myself. Your butler told me how to get to your room so i knocked and you didn't answer so i just slowly opened the door and called your name. When you didn't answer i fully walked in thinking maybe you were in the restroom in your room. So i knocked and you didn't answer but the light was on so i opened slightly and called your name 3 times. When you didn't answer i opened it fully and that's when I found you. Your body was cold but there was a faint pulse so i called for Nathan and the butler as i called an ambulance. I carried you down the stairs when i heard them and i rode in the ambulance to the emergency doors and they wouldn't let me in so the nurse said i could sit in the waiting room. So for the last 34 hours me, your brother, and some of your maids and butlers have been stopping in to check on you and see if you where up. I thought you died for good. I don't know what i would of done if you were truly gone...But they only let me back here because your brother gave permission to the office after I explained to him what had happened when we first showed up here. I love you max. From the first day I sat next to you in history class i knew you were the one. I could just feel it. I want to feel your soft lips on mine again. I want to feel the embrace of your hugs all day. I want to wake up one day in the future and see your soft features in a calm state with no worries in your mind. But above all... i want you to be mine. " I was crying by the end of it all. He was so kind and sweet and I understood him this whole time. I could of had my dream guy and skipped this state I was in this whole time. And I love him so much. He's been in my mind for forever...

"I love you too." Was the only thing i could choke out over my sobs. He came over and hugged me and kissed me. I chuckled when he pulled away, "I look so gross crying and you kissed me." He just laughed, god i love that noise, he handed me a box of tissues and then helped me sit up. He grabbed the tissues and wiped my face off making sure I was all cleaned up. As soon as he got done sitting back down from throwing stuff away my brother comes running in.

"OMG Max, i got here as fast as I could! Are you okay? Need anything? Water? More pillows, I could-''I stopped him. "I'm okay Natey." He gave me a sour look while holding back a laugh. "Out of all childhood names that's the one you choose? Really?" He laughed out. Dakota just sat there awkwardly, "Should I go? I feel like I'm interrupting a sentimental moment here..." he awkwardly shuffled his hands. My brother chuckled yanking him up into a hug,

"Thank you, without you I might lose my motivation and what I live for. Thank you; I truly mean that i really do." My brother said with a smile.

The nurse walked in and made my brother sign all these papers so that i could be released. Once he was done he looked at Dakota and smiled. He helped me up once they took all my needles and cuffs and finger holders off and let me go.

"Who wants ice cream, i'll pay." Dakota looked at me with a devilish grin. He knew I couldn't resist skipping ice cream. I hugged him and smiled. No words were said but none needed to be. I finally had him

 "Dakota do you want to stay for dinner i mean it wont bother us none?" My brother asked as dakota stood by his car. "Thank you Nathan, but i'll pass i gotta get home my mom is probably worried by now. My phone died a couple hours ago i need to get home, but thank you and have a good night. You too max." He said smiling at me. "I love you" I called out as soon as he pulled onto the road. "He rolled down his window. "I love you too. I'll text you when i get a minute to sit down." He chuckled blowing a kiss to me. I caught it and placed a hand to my heart and then imitated a locked and fake swallowed the imaginary key. He chuckled and drove off waving. Nathan wrapped an arm around my shoulder and walked me inside.

"i'm glad that you found the one Max, and I actually like this one, just know if he hurts you im going after him." Was all Nathan said while giving me a hug before bed.
