Revision (Sequel to Whirlwind)

Chapter 20

~~~~Dennis's Point of View~~~~~

It had been over two weeks since I kissed her, I missed the feeling of her lips on mine. I had written her a stupid note to try and apologize for what I had done, but I had a feeling that it didn't make up for any of it. I felt horrible, even if I couldn't have her as a girlfriend, I wanted to have her in my life.

So here I was, standing in front of the Neck Deep bus. I had been out here for ten minutes already, but I was just too scared to knock on it. I had to talk to her, even if this would be the last time. I banged on the door, holding my breath as I waited for an answer.

"One minute!" I heard her voice call out. I was surprised she was still here, I thought she would have been wandering around the grounds already. I felt a knot grow in my stomach, I had no fucking idea what I was going to say to her.

The door swung open, and I watched as her eyes widened at the sight of me. She stared at me blankly, as if she didn't know what to say either.

Finally, I broke the silence, "Oh hey."

"Hi..." she said quietly.

I smiled slightly, gesturing towards the inside of her bus, "Can I?"

"Oh uh sure," she said awkwardly. I followed her into the bus, watching her sit down. I slowly sat down next to her, trying to think of what to say. God she looked beautiful, she was just in a simple tank top and shorts with slightly messy hair, but she was still gorgeous. "I just wanted to tell you that I was sorry. I'm sorry for bothering you so much and for kissing you. You're in a relationship. I shouldn't have done that to you." I couldn't look at her, I was afraid of what she would do. I might have lost her for good now.

She sighed quietly, and I felt her eyes on me. "It's okay Dennis."

"No, it's not. I feel so bad. I shouldn't have done that," I ran a hand through my hair. I didn't want her to lie about how she felt about this. I deserved to have to deal with her anger for what I had done.

"Dennis, Ben and I broke up a week ago..." her voice was barely above a whisper.

Oh no, I fucked up. I screwed up her entire relationship just because I wanted to be with her again. "Because of me?"

"Partly," I felt my heart sink. "But it was because I realized I still had feelings for you, and no matter how hard I tried they just wouldn't go away."

"I never meant to ruin your relationship..." my voice trailed off. I could barely focus on the situation at hand. I had screwed up big time.

"You didn't ruin it. We ended it on good terms. I always had those feelings, I just buried them so I wouldn't have to face them. But once you came back into my life it got so much harder to hide them," her hand grazed my skin, turning me to face her.

I felt upset for what I had done to her, I had put her through hell all of these years. I left, I never talked to her, I messed with her feelings, and worst of all I caused the downfall of her relationship. But at the same time I was happy, she still loved me, maybe we still had a chance.

I watched her carefully trying to decipher what was going on in her head. Then I suddenly felt her lips against mine, it didn't last long, but the kiss said everything.

I watched her as she brought her hand to her lips, looking as if she slightly regretted what she had just done. When she looked back up at me, I just couldn't help myself, I needed to feel her again.

I crashed my lips into her, feeling her relax in my arms. She tangled her hands in my hair, and I pulled her closer to me. I wanted her to always be this close to me. I never wanted to lose her again, the world was much bleaker without her in my life. She brought a light into it, even when she was sad.

Without her I was nothing. I needed her. I know you should never be reliant on a person for happiness, and I'm not. She just makes me happier than I could ever be without her. I had waited five years, just to be able to see her again. And now, she was with me again. It probably wouldn't be easy, but I didn't care, all I cared about was the beautiful girl who was in my arms.

I pulled away, letting her head rest on my chest, "I love you Allison. I don't think I'll ever stop loving you."

"I love you too Den..." she said, putting her hand in mine.
