"Why are we going to a parking garage ?" He asked with curiosity.

"You'll see. "

"You're so fucking weird." He said more to himself than me.

The car ride was pretty long given the fact that I had to drive 30 minutes to find a parking garage. I live in a medium sized city so there wasn't tall enough buildings that would call for a parking garage. Plus, Chicago scenery was much more beautiful at night.

I drove to the very top and parked in the middle of the whole lot. I turned off the ignition and hopped out. Jaylen hopped out behind me with confusion. 

"Can you help me up on the hood?" I asked. He picked me up and gently placed me on the hood. I scooted back til my back was laying on the windshield. He stared at me still filled with confusion so I tapped the spot next to me and he climbed.

"So we're up here to look at the night sky ?" He asked.

"Partially. I wanted to think and talk."

"Alright." He replied.

We sat in silence. The sky gave me so many answers but they were questions. The questions were the answers I was looking for. The questions I had to ask Jaylen. Very important ones.

"Why did you fall in love with me ?" Jaylen asked.

That took me by surprise. I didn't expect him to ask the first question let alone have questions.

"I honestly don't know. I mean your personality was the thing that really infatuated me. When I first met you, you were very charismatic but a little shy. Then once we actually got closer everything became beautiful about you. Even the things that used to piss me off still did, but I loved it." I smiled, just gazing in the sky just thinking about all the memories.

"Same question applies to you." I added, after a few minutes.

He took a quick glance and smiled.

"I mean you're everything. Hard to explain." He happily sighed.

"I beg to differ." I claimed. He exhaled slowly,  putting his hands behind his head.

"Well you're beautiful. You keep me grounded. When I spazz out, you calm me down. You can make me laugh. You're good with Josie and my mom. You can cook. And most of all I fell in love with how you're not afraid to be weird and be your true self regardless of who's watching. You make your own sunshine when it's cloudy. I fell in love with Cheyenne Marie Moreno and everything that makes you." He explained.

"Nice to know. And by the way, I broke up with Daniel." I said as I watched him from my peripheral vision. He didn't move a muscle or tense. He remained relaxed and his breaths never hitched.

"When ?" He asked calmly.

"Right before I called you. Me and Julie talked and she made me realize things. Some things I already knew but was scared to admit."

"Why did you break up with him ?"

"Because I wasn't in love with him anymore. I think I haven't been in love with him since sophomore year." I bit my lip refraining from spewing more nonsense he didn't care about.

"And ever since then, I've been in love with you. Never stopped actually." I added, turning to him really taking in his features again because I missed his face over this time apart.

"So you chose me ?" He asked emotionless.

"I didn't choose anyone. My heart was always with one person. Regardless of what events took place." I said, awkwardly.

The last sentence made him tense and frown.

"I'm still so sorry about it. I don't know what I could do to help you forgive me but I will try anything and do anything. "

"Jaylen, I don't need you to beg and plead your case. I forgave you a long time ago and you know that. All I need you to know is that this is your very last chance. Just don't screw it up because you'll never get me back after that."

Never.
