      After that day in the Cafe, Nina had seen Ethan every Saturday. They talked about there lives and how it had impacted them, never saying that ones life was harder than the other. All things seemed to finally be coming together for Nina, she forgot about her past for a little while after she met Ethan. And you know what? It felt... good.

"Nina, it's time for me to be completely honest with you.." he said one night as they sat under the stars.

"Is everything OK Ethan?" She asked in a somewhat frightened tone. What if something happened with him and his dad again?

"It.. it's just that.." he seemed to be getting more nervous by the second. "It's just that I think.. I love you" 

She covered her mouth with her hand as her eyes filled up with tears. He... loved her. She was more than just a friend to him, and knowing that made her life worth living. Without even thinking about it, Nina leaned forward and met Ethan's lips with her own. Slowly, they went, his fingers inter twining with hers. It was the sweetest most magical thing they both had ever experienced. Years of torturing themselves seemed to fall away in that single moment.

"Ethan I-" But she was caught off guard by another powerful kiss. He seemed to overtake her, but not in a bad way. In the best way possible. 

As dawn approached over the land, the two slowly awoke. They had fallen asleep in the middle of the field together, he laid flat out on the grass with her head slowly rising and falling to the breathing in his chest.

"Good morning Beautiful" His words were filled with a special sweetness.

"Ethan, I really like you. I know I shouldn't be rash, but I want to be with you. Not just next week, or next month, or next year, but forever. If you don't like me like that I completely understand.."

Ethan looked stunned. Nina couldn't tell if it was because of the forever part, or if it was because she said he might not love her.. What if he didn't really love her? The school year was almost over and there was no time for mistakes.

"Nina, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't think you understand the passion of love I have for you. Please, just promise me one thing..."

"Anything" she responded.

"Even if one day things don't work out, always be there for me, because i'll always be there for you."

It was another long, intimate make out session that seemed to confirm everything and make theirs worlds whole.
