Wanting whats already taken

Chapter 5

It was all so overwhelming. But in a good way. I didn't know what to think at this point.

"Why did you do all this for me?" I asked, still in complete amazement.

"I want you to be mine." My heart froze as the words came out of his mouth.

"What about Nessa?" was all I could manage to spit out at the moment.

"I broke up with her..For you." He said those word so perfectly and calmly.

"You told me you loved her though?" I replied. My voice was shaky but I tried to keep it calm.

"Can I tell you something?" He asks obviously trying to avoid my question.

"Yea of course. Anything." I say. I can feel myself already getting nervous.

There was a long pause before anything was said, then he finally says, "Nevermind I forgot." He turns his head. I know he's lying but I don't want to complicate things, so I stay silent.

Tyler goes and gets some blankets from his car and sets them down. I rearrange them to were most of the covers were on his side. He lays down and covers up. He turns and faces me while I lay on my back looking at the stars.

He puts his arm around me and pulls me close to him. I put my arm over his body and bury my head into his chest. He was warm. I liked this. It was perfect. I felt happy being in his arms and knowing I was safe.

Right as I was about to fall asleep, I hear him say "I love you."

I couldn't breathe. The next thing I know "I love you to." had spit out of my mouth. As soon as what I had just said hit me, I realized that I had actually meant it.
