Salty tears burn my eyes as I sink to the floor, my whole world has crashed down on my shoulders and I don't know if I can take it. With my palms sweaty and heart racing, I look up into his eyes and choke out "How are you out of french fries?!"

James POV
"I love you."
That three word sentence had me filled with happiness.
She loves me? I look over at her sleeping figure and sigh, she's so beautiful and she doesn't even know it. I felt so lucky at the moment, how could she love a monster like me?
I'm horrible, I've killed countless people and I don't even regret it. I've ruined peoples lives, I've ripped families apart and I've done so many things that even the Devil himself wouldn't think of.
But she loves me.
Grace knows everything I've done and yet she loves me, I felt over the moon at the moment and nothing could stop that. She's such an angel, like a breath of fresh air that I've craved for years. I don't deserve her at all, how could she love someone like me?
"I love you more." I whisper softly, looking over at her cute baby face. She looks so innocent, she doesn't deserve me. I'm horrible, she deserves someone much better. But me being the selfish asshole I am, I won't let anyone have her but me.
I look in the back seat only to find everyone else asleep, with a smile I look back on the road and turn the corner.
"Guys. We're here." I say softly, suddenly Misty squints her eyes and yawns loudly causing everyone else to wake.
Zane and Bates get out first, holding their girlfriends hands and leading them inside to house. "Misty c'mon." I say getting out of the car.
"James I'm fine, go get Grace, she's still asleep." Misty mumbles as she starts to walk up the pathway.
"Wait, are you mad at me?" I say, looking dead straight in her hazel eyes.
"No, you made the gang to find me. I understand, thank you James. For everything." Misty smiles before turning back around and heading up the stairs.
I look over at Grace who is still sleeping and pick her up bridal style, she's so damn beautiful and doesn't even know. She has no clue how adorable and cute she is.
I lean down and softly kiss her forehead, she mumbles some incoherent words and falls back into a deep slumber.
I look back up to the wooden house and smile at the beautiful vibe it gave.

Once inside, I walk up to the room I picked out once we first bought the house and lay my princess on the bed. Everything about her was perfect, she is perfect.
Grace's POV
"Mhmm." I hum, switching my position and cuddle up further into my pillow.
"You awake?" I hear a voice ask softly causing me to slowly open my eyes.
"James?" I ask, looking up at his gorgeous face, his arm was draped around my waist comfortably and our feet were intertwined together causing me to blush furiously.
I try to sit up but James pulls me back down.
"No don't move." James mumbles, pulling me closer. I smile softly and close my eyes, cherishing the moment. Soon my eyes widen as realization settles in.
"James!" I smile widely.
"Hmm." He mumbles tiredly.
"I didn't have a night terror last night!" I smile giddily, this is probably one of the first times I skipped a night terror, and heck was I proud of it.
James smiles and says "That's great, I'm proud of you." My heart suddenly fluttered, I felt on top of the world considering James felt proud of me. He's so perfect in every way possible, I could try to find a flaw but I would fail miserably.
"You know I love you, right?" James says, looking dead straight in my eyes. My mouth opened and closed like a fish, I wanted to say something but I couldn't. We never really talked about love, have we? Suddenly the memory of last night flooded back in my mind.
FLASHBACK
Suddenly his eyes flicker over to mine, he gives me a small smile before looking back at the road. My heart fluttered as I look away, how could he be interested in someone so- disgusting like me?
I close my eyes and try my hardest to keep positive things on my mind instead of negative, yet I couldn't help myself.
Before slipping into dreamland I sub-consciously whisper "I love you James."
FLASHBACK OVER
Oh my gosh, I confessed to James when I was half asleep? I blush furiously and look away in embarrassment. This is not how I imagined confessing to James, why did I do that?
"I-I love you too." I mumble, too afraid to face him. There's no point in hiding it, he obviously heard me last night. So what's the point in covering it up?
Suddenly James smiles widely, with a laugh he stands up on the bed and grabs my waist, throwing me up in the air causing me to scream. He lays me back down on the bed and leans down to kiss me.
His lips were more soft than ever, the kiss was short and sweet like candy. He was perfect in every way possible, and I loved that about him.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear you say that." James chuckles breathlessly.
"Wait- but you heard me last night, right?" I ask in confusion, drawling my eyebrows together.
"Yes, but I'd rather have you say it when you're not half asleep." James smiles, he leans down further and kisses me on the cheek countless times causing me to giggle. He's so perfect...
"I love you so damn much Grace." James smiles, I've never seen him so elated, so happy. He looked over the moon, showering me with kisses and stuff.
I've never seen James so affectionate and loving before, he always made sure I knew how much he cared about me. But he's never been so damn affectionate. Yet I loved it anyways.
How could he love someone like me? I'm so ugly and fat and horrible, everything about me is filled with flaws and I just don't understand. I look down at my fat and instantly start to feel more self-conscious.
