Shane's P.O.V
11:20

"MOM!!! I met this wonderful girl! I know you would like her..." (*Sleepy mumbling voice*) "she reminds me of you. I wish you could meet her ma..."

Shane's dad stood in the doorway and watched his son talk in his sleep. He always knew that he had dreams about his mom when he was a kid but this was the first time in a long time since he has. It kind of broke his heart because he missed her to and he would have loved for her to be a part of Shane's life. If only she knew that Shane loves football so much, he does art and loves animals. His girlfriend is just as artful as he is. All these things might not matter to the world but it would have mattered to Shane's mother and that's why he felt his heart ache when he watched his son say those things.

He walked over to his curtains and opened them but the sun was hardly shinning. It was raining.

Shane's dad: "hey! Son... Wake up you're dreaming."

Shane made crying cranky noises and covered his face with a blanket.

Shane's dad:" Come on son. It's way past 11 and you need to get up and be alive for your dinner date later on"

Shane got up slowly like a robot motion and sat on his bed for awhile. He sighed and looked up at his dad.

Shane:" I miss mom..." He scratched his head and got up.

Shane's dad:" I know son. I do to." That's all they could say to each other that morning.

Alexxia's P.O.V
14:20

I just came back from church and I had some pretty challenging conversations with Jonathan. He told me when he dates he dates to marry and he would want to marry a Godly woman. It got me thinking about Shane. I wondered if I would marry him. I mean I love him but he isn't Godly. I don't mind at all because he isn't dancing around a fire with a pitchfork screaming "ALL HAIL LUCY" and he isn't judging me either for being a girl who goes to church, prays and reads the bible. I pray for him everyday and the good Lord knows I love him.

"Love thy neighbour as you would love thyself right!?" I assured myself. It didn't hurt anyone. I don't think God would hate me for loving someone and plus my mom isn't lecturing me about who I am with but all she ever tells me is to pray about it and talk to God about him and I'll be okay. Jonathan said it in such a manner that made it seem like it was repulsive dating him. Which showed me an awful side to the person I looked up to all my life. For a twenty-three year old, he is sure childish for this. He has nothing against Shane and he knows it. I don't want to worry much so I won't even let this move me. I care for him and that's all that matters.

17:55

It was almost time for Shane to come to dinner at 19:00. I was pretty nervous. My stomach felt weird as if I was going to vomit.

"Breath Lexxie..." I stared in mirror. Looking at my outfit. I wasn't really that girly and I always wondered how Shane would ever come close to calling me beautiful. I looked at my oversized T-shirt and vans and felt comfortable but not beautiful. I ended up just sitting on the floor by my bed and grabbing my phone to text Shane.
