Dark Nights

ARIANNAS POV

I went home earlier that day. For some reason I just felt so depressed. I don't know why..I just feel as though I couldn't go on any longer.

"Hey you okay?" Damon asked sitting on my bed.

"I'm fine."

"Okay...now what's really wrong with you?"

"I don't feel like talking, just leave me alone."

"Arianna I don't know what you expect me to do. If you think I'm gonna sit here and just act like you're totally fine then you're crazy, come on talk to me."

I sighed and looked down.

"I can't do this anymore. I feel like everyday the rope is getting thinner and thinner and someday it's gonna break and I'm not gonna have anything to hang on to anymore. I get these little panic attacks and I can't breath...I can't do anything. I go on day by day thinking everything's gonna get better. I soon realized I can't keep lying to myself. It's never gonna get better Damon. I'm never gonna get better."

There was a silence before I wiped the tears from my eyes. Damon pulled me closer to him.

"Arianna, I love you with everything I have. I'm going to be here and we are going to get through this together. We're going to push through this together. You've never been alone and I completely understand how you're feeling. This is me and you okay. I got you forever. Imma hold you down through the good and bad and that's a promise."

We sat in silence for a while as mind thought about the conversation I had earlier with my mom. I kept thinking about how me and Damon never really sat down and talked about us. I'm guessing now was that time.

"Damon...what are we?"

"What do you mean, what are we?"

"I mean I love you and I care for you but our relationship...what is it."

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

"I don't know if you're asking because you want too or because I'm putting pressure on you or something..."

Damon stood up and went to my vanity. He picked up a ring my aunt had bought me years ago. He came back and got down on one knee right in front of me.

"Arianna will you pleasssseee be my girlfriend?" He held out the ring with a big smile on his face.

"I'd lovvvveee to be your girlfriend Damon." I said holding out my left hand. He put the ring on my finger and stood back up.

I looked at my hand and smiled.

"My aunt has some good taste in rings."

"Hey hey hey it was a last minute thing, I'm lucky you even had one sitting over there, but I'll get you one that's actually from me I just need your size."

"Damon we're not getting married, you don't have to get me a ring." I chuckled.

"Uhh duh I don't have to do anything, but because you're my girlfriend now you get everything and anything you want."

"And I don't waaant that ring."

"You take what I give you now shut up so I can spoil you in peace."

I laughed and grabbed his ears bringing his face closer to mine.
I leaned in and kissed him. I pulled away and he reached over for more.

I put my hand in front of his face.

"Goodbye Damon." I said laughing.

"Wowww that's all you gon give me? Bet, don't ask for nothing else." He said standing up.

I laughed and got up.

"Come here."

Damon turned around slowly.
I grabbed his ears again and pulled him closer to me.

"I love you Damon Rodgers." I whispered in his ear.

"I love you more Arianna Jones." He said as he kissed my forehead.

He walked out my room and I could hear him talking to my mom on his way out.

"Gone already?" My mom asked.

"Yeaahh I have a busy day tomorrow Mrs. Jones."

"Oh please just call me Mary."

"Okay, oh and it was very nice meeting you."

"Hey listen son, my daughter really likes you and I can tell you're one of the good young boys... you make sure to get me some grandchildren okay."

I definitely could hear the whole conversation going on. I rolled my eyes as my mom mentioned grandchildren.

"Mom really?!" I yelled from upstairs. I went down stairs and gave her my annoyed look.

"I'll make sure to give you those grandchildren momma Mary." Damon said smiling at me.

He walked out the door and I couldn't help but smile.

"I'm glad you're happy honey."

"I'm glad I'm happy too mom." I said smiling.

IZZY'S POV

"Asia hurry up!"

"Don't rush me Isaiah!"

I swear this girl took forever to get ready. We had to be at the doctors in 10 minutes and she was still taking her nice little time.

"You're gonna miss your appointment."

"Ok ok I'm coming!" Asia yelled at me.

She came out the room and she immediately caught my attention. She looked...good.

"Hey..are you gonna just sit and stare at me or what?"

I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Oh um no let's go."

We got in the car and it was silent.
I turned on some music but Asia immediately turn it off.

"Izzy I think we need to talk."

"About?"

"Us...the baby."

"...go on."

"Well...we're both about to graduate and I just think that we should consider living together so that the baby can have both of her parents and it would make things so much easier."

"Her? It's gonna be a boy Asia, but anyways you want us to live together?"

"Yeah I mean we don't have to, but I just want what's best for our kid."

"I understand but that's a lot...I barely have a job right now and I'm still trying to figure out how we're going to provide for the baby."

"I have some money, at least enough for the beginning."

"Like how much?"

"A little over three thousand."

"Where'd you get-

"Don't ask"

"O...k well I'll think about it."
