I was getting ready for my date with Chris. I was excited but nervous, I mean this was my idol and I was going on a date with him. I feel like this is some sort of dream that I never want to wake up from. If anybody was more excited than me, it was Liam - he was so happy for me and couldn't stop talking about how he couldn't wait to hear how it went when I got home.

School today had been hard, Jade made it her mission as usual to make my life a living hell but nothing could bring me down today. Especially now that it was the weekend.

Our plan was to go to the cinema, before taking a walk down to the beach and having a picnic on the beach. I could only hope that this date went well and Chris really liked me.
It was decided that Chris would pick me up from the coffee shop 2 streets away, he wanted to pick me up from my home but I didn't want to risk my dad seeing Chris and starting a fight. I didn't know how my dad would react, and I was scared to find out, so I wouldn't risk Chris getting hurt or seeing what a shambles my home life was. He was already worried.

I made my way down to the coffee shop and ordered myself a drink. I was about half an hour early but I was nervous as hell and just had to get out of the house. I looked down at my outfit and wondered if I looked okay, I wasn't dressed in anything special, just my ripped jeans, tank top, cardigan and biker boots.

About 10 minutes later, I got a text on my phone from Chris saying that he was outside in his car waiting for me. I finished the last of my drink, and picked up my bag before making my way outside and looking around for Chris. He honked his horn and I smiled as he stepped out of the car and walked around to the passenger side and waited for me. I took a final breath before closing the distance between us.

"Hi.." He grinned at me.

I signed back to him. 'HEY'.

We both stood there for a few minutes before he walked towards me. "I'm going to hug you now okay?" I just nodded and his arms were instantly around me. I melted into his embrace and felt completely safe in his arms. "I was thinking that we could head straight to the drive in movies that's not to far from the beach?"

Hmm, that sounded good. I'd never been to the drive-in movies before, pictures were forming in my head of me and Chris cuddling in the back seat.

I smiled at him and signed. 'I'D LIKE THAT'.

He opened the passenger door and let me in before he went back to the drivers door. He got inside the drivers side and turned on the radio before starting the car. I settled myself in the seat and closed my eyes listening to the music and enjoying the ride with Chris.

It didn't take long to get to the drive-in movies, and when we did, Chris suggested that I chose the movie. I looked at the list of things that were showing and grinned at two I liked.

'DESPICABLE ME OR PITCH PERFECT 2 PLEASE'. He watched my every move as I signed to him, it made my heart melt how he went out of his way to listen to everything I signed. I didn't mind what we watched.

"Lets watch Pitch Perfect 2.." He squeezed my hand and paid for us both even as I tried to pay for myself.
"No," He told me. "It's our date and I'm paying for our date okay?"

So I gave up and let him pay for us. 'OKAY'.

After finding a spot that was close enough to see the movie properly, Chris pulled his roof down to his car and we both climbed into the back seats. I was quite stiff and rigid as I didn't know how close to sit with Chris, but he simply put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. "This okay?" He asked.

His arm was loose enough so that I could sign to him. 'IT'S MORE THAN OKAY'.

I closed my eyes as I felt his lips kiss my forehead. It was a little thing but such an intimate gesture that I would cherish.

---

All throughout the movie, Chris would whisper little things into my ear and caress my face every so often. I wasn't even watching the movie half the time, just staring at Chris.

After the movie, we got back into the front of the car, and started making our way to the beach.

Chris parked his car and I got out whilst he got the picnic basket, and then we started making our way to the beach. Chris had the basket in one hand, and he hesitantly intwined his other hand with mine. I looked up at him in shock and he smiled hopefully. "Is this okay?"

I gave him a big thumbs up with my other hand causing him to laugh out loud. I was taken by his laugh, it was so cute and precious. It may have been my favourite sound ever.

We found a lovely spot not to far away from the sea, the tide wouldn't be in for a while so we had time to relax and spend time together.

"I put a few bits together," Chris explained as he opened the picnic basket and started placing food down onto the basket. "I hope you like what I've done, I'm not the best chef."

'I BET IT ALL TASTES AMAZING'. I looked at the food before looking back up at Chris and signing. 'IT LOOKS GORGEOUS'.

"Like you then." His immediate response was. I blushed hard and averted my eyes. I looked up as I heard Chris chuckle and scoot closer to me. "I like it when you do that."

'WHEN I DO WHAT?'

"When you blush," Chris explained. "I like that I'm the only person who can make you do that, and I wish you'd understand that you are gorgeous, and you are beautiful."

I looked away from as I could feel tears well up in my eyes, I didn't want to get upset because this was supposed to be a happy occasion, and I didn't want to ruin it. I decided to be honest with Chris and tell him everything.

'I GET BULLIED AT SCHOOL' I moved my hands slowly so that Chris would understand everything. 'I ONLY HAVE ONE FRIEND'.

Chris looked heartbroken, he was staring at me with such a sad face but I didn't want him to, I wanted to just have a good time on our date. He must have understood what I wanted because he changed the subject. "So tell me something else about you," Chris stated taking your hand. "What kind of things do you like to do, what music do you like? Tell me everything.

So I did. I told him what I liked to do in my spare time, I told him what music I liked and what I wanted to do when I left school. I felt like it was a weight lifted off my shoulders, I felt free and I felt like I'd known him my whole life.

It was about 2 hours later when we started making our way back to the car. It was getting late and I should have probably been at home by now. I shivered as we was walking and Chris took his jacket off, wrapping it around my shoulders. It was such a simple gesture but it meant everything to me.

"So I have to leave in two days but I was thinking that we could spend the day together again tomorrow?" Chris suggested.

'I'D REALLY LIKE THAT' I told him. 'I HAD SUCH A GOOD NIGHT CHRIS'.

---

Chris dropped me off at my house, and I left him with the promises of seeing him tomorrow and a kiss on the cheek.

I opened the front door with a grin on my face but that soon vanished as I heard the drunken roar of my father. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!!!!"
