"Because I still love you!" No he couldn't love me back. He was just with another girl.

"You can't love me anymore Tristen. Don't see what has happened between us already. We would be idiots if we still loved  each other. And I would know because I am an idiot for still being in love with you." It was true I was an idiot. I still loved him for some odd reason and my heart couldn't let him go.

He put one of his hands on my cheek. "You don't have to let go Kyndall." he whispered. "An idiot would let go of something great like love. But a fool would fall back into it." He looked into my eyes. "Kyndall I'm a fool for loving you again. But one thing is I'm not letting you go not now not ever. When I saw you leave out of my life I realized that I lost the one thing that matter the most to me and that was you." Tears started to prickle down my face. "I can't let you go again Kyndall. No matter how hard I try to move on and go back to my old ways I can't. Being with you made me realize your the only person I wanna be with. The only person I wanna spend the rest of my life with." Right then he got down on one knee. Pulled out a velvet box flipped it box.

I gasped at the ring. It was so beautiful that tears started to prickle down my cheek again. Why is he asking me to marry him? Doesn't he know the reason why we broke up. "Tristen I-"

"Please don't say what I think your going to say Kyndall. I know I messed up before but your my life. My whole world Kyndall. If I can't have you I will try my whole life to get you back. Even if I die trying at least I will know you are mine. I  tried to protect you from everything but look at your leg Kyndall. That was my fault that happened. I let him get to you and hurt you. So many people have hurt you Kyndall and I was one of them. But if you marry me I promise you I will never let another person hurt you Kyndall. I love to much to stop loving you. All you have to do is say yes and I promise you I will never hurt you again Kyndall. Please just say yes. Make me the happiest man alive and say you'll marry me."

"Answer me this first." he nodded his head. "Why did you change for me?"

"Because nobody else is worth changing for Kyndall."

Okay so I finally made up my mind in what I wanna do. "Under on condition Tristen."

"Name it and I will do it."

"Kiss me." He smirked and grabbed my face in his hands kissed me with all his might. The spark was still there from before and I missed it so much. I missed him so much. I know new my decision on what I what for the rest of my life and it was standing right in front of me.

I pulled away from Tristen and looked him in the eyes. I nodded my head and held his hand. "So now Kyndall." he got down on one knee again. "Will you marry me?"

"A thousand time yes. Yes I will marry you Tristen." He put the ring on my finger and kissed me. When he pulled away our foreheads touched each other. I had to get one thing straight before we go down this road together. "There is one thing I have to say. And don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way. I will marry you Tristen but I also need some time to forgive you. A part of me wants to forgive you but the other part is still holding back because of what you did to me. I understand if you don't want me anymore. I just thought I should get that off my chest." I finally said what I needed to say to him.

He put my face between his hands and stared at him for a while. "Now why would I leave someone that I am meant to be with forever. I already knew you were going to need some time because no person comes back to someone after they hurt them. But trust me Kyndall this is the beginning of us. And I'm in it for the long run baby." He smiled and kissed my lips.

I heard clapping around so I moved my head away from him. I saw a crowd of people watching us, cheering, and smiling. Oh my I am so embarrassed. I hid my face into Tristen's chest.  He started to burst out laughing and only hugged me tighter. How is he finding this funny?

I looked up at him and gave him a stern look. "What's so funny?"

"Because you blush when you get embarrassed and its so adorable." he said while chuckling again.

"Lets just go home." I stated and walked off.

"Hold up there Kyndall. You can't walk home looking like that." he pointed to my attire.

I looked down at myself. "Why can't I?"

"Because I wanna carry you." And with that said he picked me up bridal style and made his way to my house. Or should I say our house I'm not really good at this.

We finally made it to my/our house. Tristen opened the door and sat me down on the couch. "Tristen?" He turned around and looked at me. "Why did you make me believe you were Justin?"

He sighed and sat down next to me. "Because if I was Tristen you wouldn't have talked to me. And I couldn't let you walk out of my life for good. So I had to find you and change my appearance to make you talk to me. I'm sorry I did this to you Kyndall. I just couldn't let you walk out my life when I had you in my grasp. I'm just so sorry. Please, please don't leave no matter how bad I am to you. I love you with all my heart Kyndall. I love you so much it hurts."

By the end of all that he had his head in his hands shaking it back and forth. I grabbed both of his hands and make him look at me. "Look Tristen I understand why you pretended to be someone you were not. It was only to keep me protected and safe. But you're not 100% forgiven yet." When I said that his face dropped. "We need to get back on the road we were on before. When it was just you and me. I know we aren't even in college and we are already engaged but I'm not going to marry you until after college. Its just- Man this is so hard to say. Its just I can't fall back in love wwith after you cheated on me. This may be a mistake for coming back to you. I have had my heart broken before by so many people. And if you can promise to say loyal then we will start over again."

He looked at me for a moment until he finally said something. "Kyndall look, I never cheated on you."

"But I saw-"

"Please just let me explain Kyndall. I never cheated on you. Why do you think Jake was there to tell you there was a girl in my room. He set the whole thing up Kyndall. He wanted you to believe that I  was cheating on you so he could have you back. She just came into my room and started flirting with me. I tried to push her off but I was to weak because I just had woken up. I am loyal to you. I changed my ways for you so I could have you. Can't you see everything that I have done for you. I have defend you in everyway possible. I love you everyway known demand. I just hope we can go back to the way things were. Cause I can't live life without you Kyndall."

He started crying. No guy has ever cried in front of me ever. Just when I thought Tristen was out of my life he some how came back into it. I don't know what would happen if I didn't have him. I mean I have tried to live without him but he just came right back. I still love him with all my heart. But do I trust him anymore. Yeah he just told me that he didn't cheat on me which makes sense because of what he said about Jake and everything. What if he went back to his old ways before he met me. Back when I had nobody, no one to help me through anything. What if that happens I managed to get that far in life like that. But I don't know what would happen in the future. Would there even be a future with Tristen and I. Maybe there is a reason why there's a ring on my finger. Maybe there is a reason why Tristen pretended to be Justin. Maybe there is a reason why Tristen still loves. And maybe there is a reason why I still love him too.
