I walked to where she sat. Paranoid, quiet, yet still in love. I regretted what i had said the day before. It wasn't okay, what was said. Honestly, i regretted what i had said. I couldn't even face myself last night after what i had said. I was a poor teenager, little money, little life, i didn't even have a phone, and now i believed i was a monster.
I headed over to where she was. I was scared she wouldn't be there, that she hated me and didn't ever want to see me again, but i approached her, hopeful that she would forgive me for what i said. I knew i couldn't forgive myself for anything I said yesterday.
She was there, sitting under the tree. All she did was stare out at the sea. It was a beautiful site by itself, and i believed that she made it look better. Of course, i say that because i was still in love with her. I sat next to her. We sat there for minutes. I said nothing, I just looked out at the sea.
"I'm sorry for what i said yesterday." I apologized. "It wasn't okay, what I sa..." all the sudden, she put her head on my shoulder, and i tensed up.
I sat there, with her head on my shoulder. I didn't know what to do. She didn't move her head off of me. I felt warm, lightheaded, and what i did wasn't something i had even thought i would have done. I was no longer controlling myself. I sat up, put my back to the trunk of the tree, and put my arm around her. She laid back and we sat there, with her in my arms. I didn't know what i was doing, but i let it continue. Then, for the first time since i met her, i heard her speak.
"I love you too." she said.
We sat there for the rest of the day, and i watched the sun fall from the sky.
