Chapter 14

*Matthew's POV*

We arrive at the cliff, I turn off the car and Carleigh and nash get out. I keep hold of Danielle's hand, so she doesn't get out. She turns to look at me, she looks scared. 'Dont be scared, I just wanted to talk to you.' I say, trying to be comforting. 'What about?' she still seems tense. 'I just wanted to tell you how much I like you, and I really want to get to know you more. Because you're beautiful, sweet, and I love your personality.' I smile, and wait for her reply. 'Aw, Matthew. That's so sweet, but I didn't think someone as good looking as you could be interested in someone like me..' I look at her like she's crazy. 'Who wouldn't?!' I practically scream. 'You're amazing, and one day I would love for you to be my girlfriend.' Shit, did I just say that out loud? Well it's already out there, might as well not fight it. 'That's the sweetest thing anyone could ever say to me. Thank you!' She leans over, and kisses my cheek. Butterflies. Ton of them in the pit if my stomach. No girl has ever made me have them like that before.

*Danielle's POV*

I kissed him on the cheek, and leaned back to see a shocked expression cross his face. Was that too fast? Oh my god. Fuck. He looked at me and smiled. I ask him if he wants to go out to the beach, and he agrees. And we walk hand in hand to the beach. Carleigh and Nash seemed to have hit it off, they're laying on the grass right above the sand. I take of my shoes, drop them beside where they are, and take off running toward the water. I hear Matthew faintly laughing I slowed down arriving at the edge of the oceans. The sunset over the water was beautiful. I've never seen it in person, only pictures. I feel arms around my waist, I got butterflies. I relaxed knowing that is was Matthew. When we touched, I felt sparks. His touch was incredible. I wanted him to be mine more than anything.

*Matthew's POV*

She turns around and grabs my hand, we walk with our feet in the water. It wasn't too cold, or warm. We walked for a good 5 minutes, then she stops me. 'Why do you like me?' she blurts out. 'What? Why wouldn't I?' I asked. Why's she asking this. 'There's so much stuff you don't know, and you'd never accept me for it..' She trailed off, tears forming in her eyes. 'please don't cry. what's wrong?' 'I've been through so much, and I'm so scared. Even though you're the guy of my dreams, and you saved my life. I love you so much as a fan, and as me. But how do I know you feel the same?' she whimpered. 'This.' I lean into kiss her, our lips crash, sparks fly. It's such a pure kiss. Not rough, but meaningful. This is how I know she's the one.

She pulls away, and I look at her eyes. All the hurt, and pain are gone. All I can see is joy. 'Wow.' She exclaims blushing. 'You're adorable.' I laugh as she looks at me with a shut-up look. 'I think that's you.' She giggles. I take her hand, and we head back to Carleigh and Nash.

*Carleigh's POV*

Nash and I walk down to the grass that lines the sand on the beach. We sit down, and start talking about how his life is going. But all I could do the whole time is stare into his beautiful baby blue eyes. I could get lost in them as if it was a dream. But I come back to reality when shows drop beside me. At first I freak out and start to get up, but Matthew comes up behind me saying that is just Danielle playing around. She twirls around, laughing. She's happy. Finally, after all she's been through. Matthew has always made her happy. Everyone at my school says shed 'obbsessed' but little did they know that he is the reason she's still alive.

Before he can walk away I pull him down and whisper in his ear. 'Whatever you do, don't hurt her.' I say with pitty in my voice. 'Never.' he says turning to walks down the beach. I look back at Nash, he seems confused. 'What was that about?' he questioned me. I hesitate a second on explaining the struggle we've been through. 'Well, when me and Danielle were in the 8th grade we both were the outcast. We were always different, and that wasn't what everyone wanted to be. And we both were heartbroken from two assholes. She was the only one there for me. She almost took her life, and I don't know what I would do without her. She's the strongest girl I know, beyond beautiful. She's just different, because I know that she won't leave.' I say, not realizing that I was crying. Nash's hand meets my cheek wiping the tears away. 'Hey hey hey, stop. You're too beautiful to cry baby. It's all gonna be okay. I know she's been hurt, but I know Matthew. He wouldn't do that to her. And it makes me fall for you even more to see that you care this much about her.' he finished. 'Thank you.' I say plainly. His hand still holding my cheek. He starts to lean in. Stay calm Carleigh. His lips crash into mine, and my eyes slam shut. They're so soft. I could kiss him forever, but were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. I lean back blushing. 'Chemistryyy!' Danielle teases. 'Shut up!' Nash yells, blushing like me. 'Let's go watch some movies at my house?' Matthew suggests. 'Yes.'

And with that, I was happy. Just like Danielle.
