Misfit Love

The Cabin

∵Roxy's POV∵

I watched Xander as we rode down the road, he looked so happy. He knew I was looking at him, he squeezed my hand and made me giggle.

I rolled down the window and looked at the trees flying by. I closed my eyes and felt the cold wind rush across my face. Xander placed his hand on my leg and smiled.

"Hey, Roxy?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you think about when you kind of just go off into your own little world?"

"Well, it's kind of hard to explain. I think about life, our friends, you, us, how beautiful life is and can be. Sometimes I think about my future. Like where I'm going to be in ten, twenty years. Occasionally, I wonder if the earth watches us the way we watch it, and if it finds us as beautiful as we find it. If it finds us beautiful as an individual. I know it sounds silly, but sometimes, I just love to feel the air on my skin. For a second everything stops. I can find myself So easily! I wish that everybody could think that way. I want everybody else to realize how wonderful they are. Inside and out. I want everybody to know that things won't always be bad. Thing's can and will get better. I want happiness around me.." I trailed off. I could feel him staring at me.

"Roxy, you are an amazing person. There needs to be more people like you in this world. You have So much strength and passion."

I smiled a bit. When I looked around, I noticed we were at the cabin and everybody already went inside. He leaned over and gave me a soft kiss. I kissed him back and grabbed my camera.

"You can go ahead into the cabin, I'm going to walk around. Take some pictures, gather myself." he nodded and ran inside.

I got out the car and started walking through the trees. It was freezing out, and mostly everything was covered in snow. But it was all still So beautiful. I took a few pictures of unique looking trees here and there. I was getting colder so I decided to head back to the cabin. I walked up to the cabin and I heard two people talking.

"Tank, I'm going to propose to Roxy. After graduation, we can finally get married and I can give her the life she wants."

"Congratulations, bro. I'm happy for you. Make sure you treat her right, you may be my brother by blood, but she's still like a little sister." They both laughed. Tank went inside but Xander stayed out. I walked closer.

"Xander?" he ran up to me, picked me up and spun me around.

"Hey, beautiful!" I smiled and kissed him.

He set me on the ground and looked into my eyes.

"Roxy, I want to ask you something..."

I felt my heart pounding and my hands shaking.
