Walking through the town was nice. I was lost in my thoughts when Jess had dragged me out of them. "Hey Aaron, can you hold this for me?" Jess asks me as she holds her fist out above my hand. "Sure," I reply. She places her fist in my hand, then unravels it and grasps mine. I look up to her and she smiles with a tint of red in her cheeks, and I do the same. We walk a bit longer until we reach the restaurant, Friday's. After eating we went to the park where I would play Jess a song. We talked for a bit then Kenjii told me we were ready.

"Jess this one's for you and I love you," I smiled and began to play.

Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

"Best birthday ever," Jess smiled and kissed me.

(The Next Morning)

"Aaron guess what time it is?" my mom says filled with glee. "What?" I ask confused. "College application time!" she says. I don't like that word. College scares me. I haven't been brave enough to ask Jess what college she plans to go to, but can ya blame me? I don't know if I'm having a mid-life crisis or if I'm just being negative and overthinking anything bad that can happen, but I just don't want her to leave. I've had my heart broken before and trust me, it hurt like hell, and I don't wanna go through that again with Jess. I-I trust her. Do I? OF COURSE YOU DO!!! Maybe I just need to stop thinking about it. Yeah, I'll just go play my guitar. "Oh uh yeah, thanks mom," I said trying to sound happy. I walk upstairs to my room, throwing the applications and brochures on my computer desk, and I just start to strum away on my guitar.
