Katelyn:

Travis lead me to the highest hill in the park. My eyes grew wide at what awaited us. There was a picnic blanket laid down, and there were a few scented candles to the side. There were also a few pillows and blankets on the picnic blanket. "W-what's this?" I stuttered in confusion.

"A nice little picnic set." He replied, turning to me with a bright smile on his face. I raised an eyebrow. "Minus the food." I stated. "Minus the food, yeah." Travis chuckled lightly. A smile crept up my face. Travis sat down, letting go of my hand. Suddenly, I realised how less comfortable I felt without Travis' hand in mine. Travis patted the spot next to him.

"Come on, sit down."

I sat down next to him. I turned to him, hugging my legs. "So, what now?" I asked him curiously. Travis laid down, his head landing on a pillow. He looked up at the night sky, his eyes glistening. I laid down too, my head landing on one of the other pillows. I looked up at the stars. It was a starry night. Just like in the painting. The stars gleamed, giving off a bit of light.

This night reminded of before. When I was a little kid, every night everyone were present, all of us - from my brothers, to me and my mom and dad - would go outside and lay down a huge picnic blanket to fit all of us. We would lay down and then we would look up at the night sky. There were some nights when we were lucky enough that we could count all the stars.

Then there were other nights in which there were only a few stars. But the nights I really cherished the most were when there were a lot of stars. Because on those nights, all of us would try to count the stars. We'd laugh when dad lost count. Or when one of my brothers would cry, "But there's too many stars!" . But those were now in the past.

And I really missed the past.

So I consider this night special. Not only because it was probably going to be the last time I'll ever look up at the sky at night and count the stars, but because I was with someone special. And that special someone is... "Travis..." I sighed happily. Travis turned to me. "Yeah?" I snapped back to my senses.

"Oh! Oh! N-nothing..." I mumbled awkwardly in reply. Travis sat up and I did the same. Our eyes locked. "Katelyn," He began. "I-I l..." I held my breath. I l- WHAT?! My subconscious yelled impatiently. He looked down, breaking eye contact with me. He took a deep breath, then turned back to me. "Katelyn, I l..." There was an awkward pause.

Tension filled the air. I l- WHAT?! What does he even mean?! I love you?!

"Katelyn, I'd like to challenge you to count all the stars there is tonight." (Shrekking shreks, did I get you? xD)

I suddenly felt weak. That's it? That's all he has to say...? I forced myself to smile. I nodded. "S-s-sure..." I replied weakly. Travis smiled. I laid back down and stared up at the sky. I bit my lip, my fists clenched, my eyebrows furrowed. That stupid jerk! Ugh! I can't believe I'm this stupid enough to think that this moron next to me actually likes me! Ugh! I took a deep breath. And then I started counting stars as fast as I can, not caring if I counted the same star over and over again.

...Later...

"112."

I heard Travis chuckling next to me. "I didn't think you'd actually count all of them." He commented. I rolled my eyes. "And I didn't think that I'd actually be stupid enough to believe you liked me." I muttered. "Huh?" My eyes grew wide. "I-uh... Nothing! Nothing!" I said quickly. Travis stood up and walked a few steps forward, away from the picnic blanket. I raised an eyebrow and decided to follow him.

I stood next to him, looking into the distance. Suddenly, I could feel his hand grabbing onto mine. I blushed furiously once more. My heart pounded in my chest like a giant boombox.

Play music ^/>

Travis turned to me and I faced him. "Katelyn... I...." He said, cupping my cheek with his right hand. Normally, I would slap his hand away. But this time, I made an exception. He leaned close enough till our noses were touching. I could feel my cheeks getting warmer. His emerald green eyes were focused on my blue ones.

"I love you, Katelyn."

He tilted his head slightly and closed the distance between us. I could feel his lips against mine. "I love you too." I whispered, my eyes fluttering close. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hand crept down to get a hold onto my waist.

I can't believe it, but I think I'm slowly falling for this so called jerk named Travis.

Even though I chose not to accept it, I really am falling in love with him. As each day passed, I grew stronger in love with him. He was just so... different. The way he smirked cockily, made jokes and was just always there for me... He didn't seem like the guy I met from across the street anymore. I assumed him to be a jerk, and yes, he is. But he's not just that. He's a jerk that I seriously have fell head over heels for.

He pulled away, a grin on his face. "Did you like tonight?" He asked me, his hands still on my waist. I nodded, smiling. "Yeah."

"I can truly say that this night was special."

A/N:

Yasssssss!! ^0^ OH MA GOSH. I'm fangirling at my own work right now. OMG.

Okay, so first of all, thank you for the nice comments in the last chapter saying how you think this was a great fanfic and that you never want it to end. Thank you! And also, sadly, this has to end. :< But think of it on the bright side, if this doesn't end, Travlyn will never get their happily ever after. 😉

Okay, second, I'm sorry if I sucked at writing the smoochy part. I tried my best and I'm happy with it. It's at least better than the one in my Sqampy fanfic. XD

Now, that's all I have to say. Thank you so much for all the comments and votes! ^-^ I'll see ya later!

Byeeee!
