Day Before The Date

Me and Dylan met up at my locker after a few weeks of long talks on the phone and endless texts with strong hints of flirtatiousness. When he finally asked me the question I had been dying to hear I almost yelled in joy.
Dyl: "Will you go on a date with me @ 9 after my lacrosse practice tomorrow ?I haven't been able to stop thinking about since I cought you in the hall on that first day."
He was gazing into me eyes and we both hadn't realized that everyone, but my honor system club and the teachers, had left. I blushed so much and answered with the obvious answer.
Me:"YES, yes of course."
He reached for my hand while we walk to the school parking lot. We reach my jeep first, and he hugs me goodbye, wrapping his muscular arms around me an pulls me to his chest. We stay that way for over 2 minutes, not awkward at all, we just enjoy each other.
Me: "My mom needs me home by 3:50 today to make sure the heat is on 72, she forgot to turn it back down before she left for work." even though I don't want to leave him, ever. I always cry when at home because that's the only place I feel safe, I secretly suffer depression and I couldn't tell him. I have been hurt so many times by boys and by my "friends".
Dyl:"Bye beautiful," he says which makes me get butterflies.I tell him bye…
Me: "Bye perfect!" He is at his jeep door and he replies back
Dyl: "No, no, no. YOU'RE PERFECT, see you tomorrow."
I crawl into my jeep at last and realize, I am falling head over heals for someone who just moved here about a month ago. I go home and see Dyl has beat me to the double driveway for our houses. He is already inside his house because I see that he's not in orr around his car. So I text him as I go inside and after I make sure the heat's on 72 I go up to my room. Our bedrooms were facing eachother from across a small space between the houses. I noticed this the night he moved in. I saw him playing Xbox on his bed when I went out to my balcony in my room the day I figured out our balconies are connected by a gate. I texted him.
Me(tcxxt): 'I want to go to your practice with you, Oh but then how will we get to the date if I bring my car and you bring yours to practice..?' He almost immediately replied
Dyl(txt): 'I'll pick you up and take you to practice with me <3' I saw him on his bed through the sliding door that goes out of my balcony, then I texted him
Me(txt): 'okay xox text you later' and I went to my bed and my head starts to fill with doubt and fear of disappointment and sadness. I cried for like two second before I realized the blinds to the sliding door were still open, shit. It was getting gloomy outside maybe Dylan didn't see me crying. But before I knew it he was jumping over to my balcony *DEM MUSCLES* and opened the door. He went immediately to my bed and squeezed me tight, hugging me to his warm body and the questions flooded in like the flow of Niagra. He asked me so much I knew I would have to tell him I was suffering depression d
Dyl:"What's wrong?? WHY WERE YOU CRYING? WHAT HAPPENED?" I just sobbed for few more minutes while he cradled me in his chest. He was so strong. I wake up and realized that I had actually cried myself to sleep and Dylan had fallen asleep with his arms around me. I woke up and looked at my ceiling projecter clock, it was 11:00. Jeez. Dylan woke up when he felt me move.
Dyl:"Oh sorry I fell asleep," he said. As if he needed to apologize, he is the only one who has ever seen me cry and he is still here, :').
Me:"No. Don't apologize, there's something I have to tell you," I just laid for a couple seconds before just blurting it out.
Me:"I have depression." I sigh after saying that. He's the only one who knew.
Dyl:"Why? You are so beautiful and perfect and funny and sweet, you have no reason to be insecure. AT ALL. Please don't ever be sad." This makes me so happy and we both just fall asleep, his body still aligned with mine. We fall into a trance-like sleep, full of good dreams.
