Our Future

Chapter 7

POV ISAAC:

Two weeks later....

It's been two weeks since we arrived in Liverpool and things are going very well. In these two weeks that have passed, in addition to having taken the opportunity to get to know the city, we also got to know the university and met some people, who would also attend this university for the first time. I admit that while I'm loving the experience of living as a "normal" pre-adult, I'm also terrified of my supernatural part showing up in front of people.

Melanie and I both miss our life in Beacon Hills, after all, that's where our memories, our friends and our family reside... Beacon Hills as dangerous as it became, it's still our home and it's perfectly normal to miss being there. However, we are both beaming and ready to make new memories here in Liverpool.

These two weeks also gave me the courage to talk to Melanie about our pending matter. Although I'm sure we both want exactly the same thing, which is to be together as a couple, a small part of me is afraid that she won't feel the same way about me anymore, that she used to and that she'll decide that it would be better if we were just best friends.

At the moment we were watching a movie in our living room, but the truth is that my concentration was on Melanie and not on the television. Apparently she noticed I was kind of pensive, so she took the command and put it on pause, turning completely to me.

- Isaac, what's the matter with you? I noticed that today you're looking weirder than usual. Is something wrong? Is it because of tomorrow's full moon? I know it's your first full moon in a new location, but everything will be fine... I'll be here to help you with whatever you need....

- That's not it. The thing is, I want to have that conversation, but I don't know how to start.

- I also think it's time we had her.

- Do you still feel the same?

- Are you asking me if I'm still completely in love with you? - Melanie asked and I was so nervous that I couldn't even say anything, I just nodded. - Isaac, of course I'm still completely in love with you. And you? Are you still in love with me? Didn't this time you spent here change your mind? I don't know if you noticed but there are a lot of pretty girls here who would love to jump on to of you.

- That's not even a question... Melanie I've been in love with you since we were little. You know what's funny? I often wonder what my future will be like and do you know what conclusion I come to every time? That you are part of it! I don't know if I ever told you, but those minutes since we opened the rift in the Argents' bunker and when I heard you screaming my name on the lacorsse field were the worst minutes of my life. I felt like a part of me was dying, because I wasn't getting to save the most important person in my life.

-Isaac ...- Melanie said and I noticed that a tear was running down her cheek.

- I've lost so many people in my life, my mother... my brother... my father... Erica... Boyd... Even Alison.... But just thinking about losing you is the worst feeling of all. I honestly don't think I would be able to live without you by my side.

- Isaac.... I don't even know what to say...

- Just say yes!

- Yes, to what?

- To my next question... Melanie Rogers, do you want to be my girlfriend?

- Of course I accept to be your girlfriend!

I couldn't hold back any longer and I really had to do what I've been wanting to do since we got here, which was kiss her. I've waited awhile for this moment and it didn't go as I expected, but all the waiting was worth it because she's officially my girlfriend. After giving her a few more kisses I went to my suitcase and took out a small black box, which contained a gift I had bought her a few months ago, even before what happened with the Ghost Riders.
