Wake Me Up When September Ends

It's Like Im Sleep Walking

I gasped. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen - and my mum being the designer of jewellery, engagement rings mainly - I had seen a lot of beautiful rings, but nothing could compare to this.

It was so plain, but so sophisticated at the same time. It was White gold, with an infinity symbol either side of the simple diamond. The infinity symbols were filled with tiny little diamonds. It was absolutely stunning.

“Kellin…I…I don’t know what to say…This is all so much to take in.” Wow Adreena. Good response dickhead!

“Please Adreena. Just say yes?” He pleaded. I could see in his eyes that he wanted this so much.

“I’m so sorry, but I can’t. No Kellin, I will not marry you.” I said, tears pricking my eyes. I turned around and walked away. The tears were full on flowing now.

Kellin’s P.O.V

“I’m so sorry, but I can’t. No Kellin, I will not marry you. She said. I saw the tears pricking her eyes. I was about to say something, but she turned around and walked away. I could hear the tears falling freely now. What had I done? Why did I have to be such a dickhead three years ago? I needed her more than anyone knew, and I fucked everything up. “Way to go Kellin.” I spat as I applauded myself.

I walked back into the halls of school, a frown upon my face, and my hand in my pocket, fiddling with the box. I was still beating myself up over the mistake I made three years ago. Six years today it would have been if I didn’t fuck it all up, and run away from the feelings I had. I was terrified of the fact that I was feeling for Adreena what I had never felt for any ever before. Love. And I was shitting myself, because I was scared out of my mind that if I told her that I loved her, she would run off. I was scared that she would be scared to commit to me, like I was committing to her. And I was scared that she didn’t feel the love for me that I felt for her. I was worried that what she was feeling was Lust, not Love.

I bumped into someone, rousing me from my thoughts. I looked up, apologising, until I realised who it was. Vic. My best friend in the whole entire world. The only other person that knew I was in love with Adreena Indigo Smalls.

“Guessing it didn’t go well then?” He exclaimed, giving me a sympathetic look.

“No Vic, don’t give me that look. Please. I got whatever I deserved for fucking up three years ago. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t regret what I did. Not one single day!” I yelled.

Vic just slapped my back and walked silently next to me. He knew not to say anything when I was in a mood like this.

“I’m sorry Vic, I really am. Everything is just so messed up. And I honestly thought I would get her back, but I guess not everything goes to plan hey?” I apologised, and Vic smiled at me, letting me know that he understood, and he forgave me for being a dick.

“It will all work out. I promise you that much Kel, if it’s meant to be, it will be.” Vic said, with a grin on his face. Victor Vincent Fuentes is just about the only person who can cheer me up when I am like this, apart from Adreena that is.

“Thanks Vic.” I smiled at him, showing my appreciation.

Adreena’s P.O.V

I sat on the lush green grass outside of E block. Everyone else was inside, doing P.E, normally I would be too, but today I just had way too much on my mind. Kellin fucking Quinn just fucking asked me to marry him. I was still in a state of shock.

Austin came and sat beside me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“So, what did he want?” Austin questioned, lighting up a cigarette.
