Because of You

The Beach

Jesse's POV

I was really nervous for the date. I decided to have a picnic on the beach because that's like romantic, but not too fancy. I'm trying to to win her heart back. I missed her so much.

I tied my long hair back into a pony tail and but on a loose white button up with black jeans and my white vans. I texted her telling her to be ready soon, and I ran downstairs.

I was checking if I had my keys and everything, when Bailey came in with Zach. She handed me a bouquet of flowers and I was confused.

"They're her favorite. Zach told me" Bailey said and I mentally prayed to the heavens. I looked at the clock to realize I was running late.

I thanked Bailey and Zach what seemed like a million times and ran to my car, echoes of good lucks from the both of them flying behind me.

Five minutes later I pulled into her new home's driveway. I grabbed the flowers and nervously walked up to the door. Ringing the doorbell I heard shuffling and the suddenly the door opened and my throat tightened.

There she stood, looking amazing. She had on a simple white sleeveless crop top with a flowery bottom skirt, and small white heels. She was breathtaking, like a work of art.

"You look- you look amazing" I say mentally slapping myself for stuttering. She didn't seem to notice though.

"Thank you" she said looking at me. I could look at her for hours.

"These are for you" I say and hand them to her. She smiles and takes them. She walks in waving me to follow and grabs a vase from the closet. She fills it with water and puts the plants in there before she grabs my hand and pull me outside. When we touch I get that spark I haven't felt in a while.

We drive until we pull up to the beach where we first kissed. I think she noticed because she smiled at me, and we both hopped out of the car.

Verns POV

We pulled up to the beach and I immediately recognized it. I couldn't help but smile, remembering our first kiss there. He pulled out a basket and guitar out of the trunk before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the beach.

I stepped in the sand and immediately sunk in, making me almost fall.

He grabs me, helping me before I fall. Handing me the guitar and basket I'm confused until he picks me up bridal style and carries me closer to the shore, making me giggle.

We got to the spot and he let me down, us both getting comfortable. He handed me a glass of wine and poured one for himself, before pulling out the small snacks he prepared. He really thought this through.

We eat and talk a little about what we had done the past couple weeks and how we were. I talked a little less, not wanting to bring up how much of a struggle the last few weeks actually were. I just wanted him to think I had gotten through fine.

He grabs his guitar and starts to play something I've never heard before. Before I can ask he reads my mind.

"I wrote you a song. Do you want to hear it?" He asks and I nod. I'm not sure what it will be about and that's what scares me. The not knowing. He starts and I hold on to every word.
(listen to the beach by the neighbourhood during this part)

If I told you that I loved you
Tell me, what would you say?
If I told you that I hated you
Would you go away?
Now I need your help with everything that I do
I don't want to lie, I've been relying on you

Fallin' again, I need a pick-me-up
I've been callin' you "friend," I might need to give it up

I'm sick and I'm tired too
I can admit, I am not fireproof
I feel it burning me
I feel it burning you
I hope I don't murder me
I hope I don't burden you
If I do, I do

If I meet you in the middle maybe we could agree
You make me feel little how you're looking at me
And you can throw me shade, all it does is just cool me off
First it just threw me off, now I'm just moving on

Fallin' again, I need a pick-me-up
I've been callin' you "friend," I might need to give it up

I'm sick and I'm tired too
I can admit, I am not fireproof
I feel it burning me
I feel it burning you
I hope I don't murder me
I hope I don't burden you

Swim with me
I think I could see the beach
I know what's underneath
I need you here with me
But we're out in the open
Swim with me
I think I could see the beach
Just don't look underneath us
I need you here with me but we're out in the open

I'm sick and I'm tired too
I can admit, I am not fireproof
I feel it burning me
I feel it burning you
I hope I don't murder me
I hope I don't burden you
If I do, I do

I couldn't stop the tears that were running down my face. The song was so beautiful. I kept rerunning the lyrics through my head, and I realized how much pain I had caused him.

I started to cry harder and I think he noticed. Immediately he put his guitar down, and moved over to me pulling me in his lap.

"No baby don't cry, please don't cry" he says but I just keep crying. I was so selfish and didn't realize he was hurting too. I was so stupid.

"I'm so sorry" I said in between tears and he hugged me tighter, pulling me closer.

"No, no I wrote this song because I love you. You make me so so happy, without you my life is so grey. Nothing can compare to how much I adore you, you're beautiful, and smart, and funny, and talented. Just because you went through a hard time doors T make me love you any less" he says and my heart stops. I can't believe he just let that all out to me.

I grabbed his face pulling him in kissing him roughly. He immediately responded, putting his hands in my hair and leading, slipping his tongue in my mouth. Battling for dominance, he obviously won. I moved my kisses down his jaw and his neck to his collarbone. Finding his soft spot I leave a small mark, and I can feel his hands tighten in my hair. I come back up slowly giving him a small kiss on the lips.

" I love you so much" I say and he smiles.

I love that smile.

I love him, and that is the beginning and end of everything.
