Ethan's POV

Jess and I now share a room because we knew it was best. Nash and the others thought it was ok so we did it. Grayson and Faith moved in and had there own room. Matthew also eventually stayed. We still go to school but Gray and I graduate this year, and Faith and Jess graduated the year after.

Everyone was sleeping and I couldn't sleep at all. All I did was admire every feature she has. She was so beautiful. So adorable. She's so cute while she's sleeping. I wrapped my arm around her and gently pulled her closer to me. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at me. I looked at her lovingly and smiled at her. She smiled back and placed her hand on my cheek. I moved my hand and placed it on top of hers and kissed it. Man, she is gorgeous.

In the realisation that she is all mine, I grab her face and kiss her lips quickly then pull away. I then whisper to her.

Me- "Let's go on an adventure."

She had the brightest smile on her face. I know she loves to adventure. She loves to see new places, new things. She whispers back.

Jess- "Okay."

She gets out of bed and goes to change into something more suitable for adventuring, so did I. We had to be so quiet because everyone was still asleep. We quickly jumped out her window and started running into the woods. We don't know where we are going but it will be great. We laughed and smiled at each other now and then.

We eventually stopped at a cliff's edge and just sat with our feet hanging over the ledge, looking over the little town we lived in. Some lights were still on in some houses, and shops. Most street lights were always on.

I looked over at Jess. She closed her eyes and let the wind blow through her hair and onto her face. She was so beautiful, I can't even describe how beautiful she is. I adore everything about her. Her flaws, her body, and all her features. I love everything about her. I grabbed her hand and held it in mine and placed it back in my lap. She scooted closer and settled her head on my shoulder and I settled my head on hers.

This was so amazing, looking over the little town we call home at night with the moon shining bright, with my beautiful, gorgeous girlfriend here by my side. I can't believe I have such an amazing girlfriend. Plus, the fans also love her, there is some hate but she doesn't care about it, she doesn't let it get to her. I started to wonder what was going on inside her head.

He is always there when I need him.
He is always by my side.
He always calms me down.
He always gives me love.
He always shows his love.
He isn't scared of me.
He isn't ever going to be scared of me.
He is here.
He will always be here.
Forever and Always.

I kept on reading her mind.

I will always be there for him.
I will always be by his side.
I will always give him love.
I will always show him my love.
I won't be scared of him.
I will never be scared of him.
I will be here.
I will always be here.
Forever and Always.

She looked up at me and smiled. We looked at each other deeply in the eyes. Our eyes glowed.

Jess- "I love you, Ethan."

Me- "I love you, Jess."

Both of our eyes changed a different colour. It changed into a lilac, pink colour. I kissed her passionately. It was like the first time I kissed her. It felt like sparks flying through the air, butterflies fluttering in my stomach and her lips tasting so sweet. We broke out of the kiss slowly and looked at each other in the eyes once again. I smiled.

Me- "Forever and Always?"

She smiled.

Jess- "Forever and Always."
