I Can't Let You Go

Chapter 12

Logan's POV
11:02 pm
It was New Year's Eve, and all I could think about was how I was going to perfectly win Jasmine back. I had thought about this plan for a long while, and it was time to do it tonight. I just hope she still likes me like that, since we broke up. We've been texting a little bit though and we are friends again somewhat, but it's still just not the same. We were watching the New Year's Rockin Eve TV special, and it was super boring all night, until Taylor Swift performed. She did like 5 songs, but my favorite one was Begin Again. I always have loved that song, and I don't know why.
11:27 pm
We were all sitting in the living room, eating snacks. Lindy was leaning her head on Garrett's shoulder, and it looked like she was going to fall asleep any minute. Delia was reading some dumb Penelope Harkniss story, and Jaz was sitting by me, but we hadn't really talked much, we were just both watching TV.
"Delia, are you seriously just going to read that book all night?" Jasmine looked over at Delia.
"Well, what else do you expect me to do? It's not like anyone is socializing here." Delia rolled her eyes.
"I think Garrett and Lindy both just fell asleep." Jasmine commented.
"Yeah, I don't know if any of us will make it up until midnight." I added.
11:59 pm
"I can't believe it. It's 15 seconds until midnight, and I'm not going to have anyone to kiss for the New Year." Jasmine looked down at the couch and looked upset. Garrett and Lindy were up now and everyone was anxiously awaiting until the ball dropped.
5...4...3...
I pulled Jaz towards me.
2...1!
The second the ball dropped, I kissed Jaz. She didn't let go, and it was the longest kiss we had ever had, even when we were dating. When we pulled away, she looked happy and in shock.
"Are you sure you're not going to have anyone to kiss for New Year's?" I stared into her eyes, and she did the same, "Jaz, I miss dating you so much-"
"I thought you didn't love me. You just liked other girls." She looked down at floor, and she appeared devistated.
"You thought I didn't love you? Jaz, I'll stop loving you when the sun stops shining. When everyone stops breathing. When the Earth stops spinning. But until then, I'll always love you. Jasmine, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Logan Watson, I love you." I put my arm around her.
"Am I doing good at being romantic?"
"No. You're doing great."
