Abigail's Pov

"I was talking about you."

I didn't know what to say. I just stared at him, a smile appearing on my pink lips. He made me feel so special. I looked into his dark blue eyes. I felt guilt pierce my heart. Why couldn't I tell him? He looked so happy being with me. Didn't he deserve to know? Of course he did! I just didn't want him to know. I looked away from his eyes. How could I look at him and be with him when I was keeping something so important away from him? 

"Abby?"

"Yes?"

"Umm can can I kiss you?"

I looked at him again, surprise feeling my features.

I smiled at him, my thoughts thrown out the window,"Of course you can."

He smiled down at me. I felt his soft lips meet mine. He pulled me closer to his body, and I could feel his heartbeat in sync with mine. He pulled away, leaning his forehead against mine. 

"Abby? Ima go get something. Stay right here okay?"

"Okay."

He pulled away from me and kissed my cheek. Then he ran in the opposite direction. I stared at his retreating figure, feeling a smile on my lips. I looked at the sky, seeing a bright light streaming across the sky. I gasped when more streaks of light came streaming across the night sky. My hand went to my mouth, I was experiencing a meteor shower. It was so beautiful. I felt a presence behind me, and Beau was standing there, staring in awe at the sky.

"Did you know this was going to happen Beau?"

"No, this came as a surprise."

"It's beautiful right?"

"Yes," he whispered.

"So what'd you go get?"

"Oh, close your eyes!"

I closed my eyes, and he held my hand. I felt him slip a cool ring on my left ring finger. I gasped and opened my eyes, staring at the silver ring.

"Abby, I want to give you this ring. It symbolizes a promise. My promise to you is to love you as long as I can, and to care for you. I promise to listen to you, and to always be here when you need me. Even if we're mad at each other, if you need anything, I'll be there in a heartbeat. I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

My mouth opened and closed in shock. Tears filled my vision and one rolled down my cheek. I put my arms around him and laughed.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend dummy!"

He laughed and put his arms around me,"You make me so happy. Okay, so now that you said yes to be my girlfriend, will you say yes to go to prom with me?"

"Are you taking advantage of the situation Beau?"

"Maybe."

"Yes, I'll go to prom with you."

"Great, it's in two weeks."

I gaped at him,"Two weeks?! Why didn't you ask me sooner goofball! I only have this weekend to chose out a dress!"

He laughed,"I wanted to make it special."

I blushed,"Well you did ask two questions and I couldn't help but say yes."

"Oh really? And why not?"

"Because I love you."

He smiled,"I love you too."
