Louis' P.O.V.

I pulled out the jacket first and then the pants and the belt and shoes. Wow this was really happening. It was definitely going to be tonight that I needed to tell Dawn. She can't find out the day I'm leaving I'll change my mind about going on the spot. I got completely dressed in my uniform and looked on the mirror, all that was missing was the hat. I pulled it out of a box that was under the rest of my uniform. I popped it up and smoothed it out before I tried it on. Slowly I pulled it onto my head and adjusted it.

This is something I will be proud of for the rest of my life and if I come back it'll be something Dawn can be proud of to. I know we're young but I think I want to marry her. Scratch that I don't think, I DO want to marry her. I want to come back to a beautiful wife not just a beautiful girlfriend. But what if she doesn't say yes? What if she loves Ames more then me? What am I going to do then? I just shivered at the thought of all these negative things. I couldn't be thinking negative. What could be negative about wanting to propose to the love of my life?

I'm not going to tell her until next week. That's when I will ask her to marry me. Yes, next week. And I will get my uniform all cleaned and buy her a ring and think of how i'm going to do it. Oh crap I didn't even think about how or where i'm going to ask her. It has to be special. I just paced back and forth for the next 2 hours completely planning out how I'm going to do this. I have to be wearing my uniform it will make it more meaningful. I know exactly how to do it now, she will love it.

Dawn's P.O.V

I walked into my apartment and threw my keys on the table. Walking into the kitchen I opened the refrigerator and pulled out a box of pizza pockets. There was no one around to judge me so I put a bunch in the oven and ran upstairs. I took off my shirt leaving me in my black tank top and slid on a pair of my favorite black shorts. I walked in front of my mirror and just paused. I looked at myself from the side and noticed how my rib cage stuck out on both sides as well as my hip bones. Louis wouldn't be happy with me. During the school year I became anorexic. I would barely eat and only ate some lunch around my friends and Louis so they wouldn't worry. After a while I had lost about 20 lbs. and Louis started to notice. He texted me one day asking to FaceTime and I accepted his offer. As we were talking I noticed how uneasy he looked and I knew something was bothering him. *flashback* "Louis are you ok you're not acting like yourself?" "I'm fi... actually I'm not fine. Dawn stand up and turn to the side." I stood up and turned for him and I noticed how far my ribs and hips were sticking out. He started to get emotional and so did I. "Why are you doing this to yourself? There's nothing to change about you, you're so beautiful why?" "Because Louis, I have never felt that way about myself. I am not beautiful. I am not supposed to weigh more then my boyfriend get it?" And I just broke down but it was true. Blake weighed 10 less pounds than me and I felt so ashamed. "He's just a twig ok? You don't need to do this to yourself please stop!" he started to yell and cry at the same time. "You have to tell Blake" he said and I shot up immediately. "No, I won't." "Dawn why" and he stared into my eyes. "No one wants to date the anorexic girl ok? He'll be so ashamed of me. He'll break up with me I know it." "Dawn if he really loves you he'll want to help you. I know I want to. Don't think you'll go another lunch without eating something." "Louis you don't need to deal with this. I can handle myself ok? I'll stop eventually."

*reality* I just sighed and slowly walked down the stairs to check on my pizza pouches. I'm so lonely I need somebody here with me. I am honestly not in the mood for Ames right now. I'll call Louis I can't stop thinking about him and maybe I'd I see him it'll stop me from thinking about him so much. I grabbed my phone and dialed Louis' number. After the first ring he picks up. "Hey Dawn what's up?" "Hey do you wanna come over and watch a movie with me? I made pizza pouches." "Absolutely I'll be over in a few don't eat all the pizza pouches without me." I just smiled, I couldn't help it. "See you soon Lou, bye." "Bye." I walked over to my living area with the pizza pouches in a bowl. I picked out a movie that I thought Louis would enjoy watching or at least be interested in watching because I know he hasn't seen it before. I picked it up and read the cover out loud to myself. "The Notebook."
