*3 Weeks Earlier*

As your eyes gazed over every single dress in the 6th shop, you saw one that stood out. You'd picked out a couple other dresses that were beautiful, but they weren't perfect. This dress was exactly what you wanted, it was the only one that made you widen your eyes and stop to stare at it. Your mum was quietly walking behind you, then she saw your face. She followed your eyes to look at the dress, then stood in front of you breaking you out of your trance. Your mum rubbed her hands up and down your upper-arms as she said "go try it on" whilst smiling.

You quickly grabbed the dress off the rack and asked the cashier if you could try it on in the dressing rooms. You walked into one of the stalls and closed the door behind you, smiling at the reflection of the dress in the mirror.

After fixing and adjusting the dress, you stared at your reflection while turning around. This was the one

*Present Day*

You'd just had your makeup and hair done. It was graduation after-party.

You were extremely nervous to see your boyfriend's reaction to the dress. You pulled up to his house and thanked your mum for sticking with you for hours of getting ready. She drove away and you took a deep breath. Your heels clicked on the concrete outside his front door, and you lifted your hand to knock on the door.

Ethan's dad opened the door and you whispered "hi Mark"

"Hey Y/N. Ethan's very excited to see you, come in!" He whispered in return.

You stepped into his house and anxiously waited for Ethan to see you. You didn't know why this was so nerve-wracking for you, he'd seen you dressed up before, but this felt different.

Ethan finally rounded the corner at the end of the hallway and stopped dead in his tracks. He covered his mouth with one hand and the other was placed on his hip. He looked amazing. He really cleaned up well.

"Babe, you look fucking gorgeous..." He whispered, it was barely audible but it gave you goosebumps.

(I know how cliché this is, but Ethan makes up for it)

You nervously giggled and shifted under Ethan's and his dad's gazes . You saw Ethan's hand slowly drop from his mouth only to rise to the back of his head to meet his other hand. He took a shaky breath and you realized he was getting teary.

(Cheesy, but again, it's Ethan)

You desperately tried to stop crying so the tears wouldn't ruin your makeup. "Why are we like this?" You whispered under your breath as Ethan walked towards you.

You hugged him tightly as his dad watched, waiting with Ethan's phone.

You saw his dad take a picture of you hugging, and realized it was probably time to hurry and leave. You got a photo with Ethan's arm around you, then you took a stupid photo. After Ethan's dad gave Ethan his phone back, you took the opportunity to get your phone out and take a selfie with Ethan. You took a serious and stupid photo again, then took one in the mirror that was in the entranceway to Ethan's house. He wrapped his arms around your waist from behind and kissed your cheek as you took the photo. You quickly put your phone in your purse and rushed to the car with Ethan.

You got out of Ethan's dad's car, thanking him for dropping you off.

"Y/N, did I tell you how fucking beautiful you are? How do I fucking deserve you?" Ethan looked you up and down and you did a twirl.

You both laughed before you held his hand, walking into the hall.

"Yes you did, and you look hot"

You whispered the last part, and Ethan squeezed your hand, smiling.

Loud music was playing as you both walked into graduation, looking around for your friends.

You spotted Lucy, Gabriel, Riley and Ben talking and they all turned when Lucy spotted you and pointed. They all smiled at you two, and started complimenting you both. Lucy came with Gabe as her date, and Riley came with Ben. You complimented Lucy and Riley on their stunning dresses, Lucy's dress was a long, dark navy dress, and Riley's was a short, tight, light pink laced dress. These guys were your best friends, and you were glad you could be here with the people you were closest to.

You sat at a table to catch up and laugh with your friends with Ethan by your side. He put his hand on your knee and slid it all the way up your thigh, which was a signal. You put your hand on top of his, and he lifted it off to intertwine your fingers under the table.

A song with a fast beat was playing, so Ethan suggested to everyone to dance, so he dragged you to the dance floor with your friends following behind you. You all danced together, and it was probably the happiest moment in your life. After years of faking happiness around fake people, feeling genuinely happy was absolutely the best feeling, it was indescribable.

After a few more songs played, you wanted a drink. You went to a table and poured yourself and Ethan some coke, since it was a school event and there was no alcohol. You met Ethan, Lucy, Gabe, Riley and Ben at your table and you all sat to drink. You complimented Gabe and Ben on their suits and started a long conversation with everyone.

You'd talked for a while when you finished your 3rd round of drinks, and the 2nd slow song came on. It was One by Ed Sheeran.

"Y/N, come with me"

You took Ethan's hand and when you reached the dance floor, you put your wrists on Ethan's shoulders and let your hands meet at the back of his neck. He held onto your waist protectively as you swayed slowly to the beat of the song.

(Getting cliché again, please bare with me)

~ All my senses come to life ~

~ While i'm stumbling home as drunk as I ~

~ Have ever been, and i'll never leave, again ~

As the song started ending, Ethan pulled you closer and wrapped his arms around you, and you folded your arms around his neck. You turned your head to the side, so that your left ear was right on his heartbeat, and you could feel his hands go up and down a couple times on your bare back, before resting his hands at the base of your spine.

~ 'cause you are the only one ~

Ethan whispers " 'cause you are the only one" in your ear simultaneously with the song and he embraced you even tighter.

You started tearing up again, you weren't sad, you were incredibly happy. You wrapped your arms around his neck tighter as well, not too tight, and happily sighed.

You slightly pushed back out of his embrace and extended your arms, so that your wrists rested on his shoulders again.

Ethan quietly looked into your eyes and you smiled while you felt a tear escape your eye, only for Ethan to quickly catch it with his thumb.

"I love you Eth" you smiled

"I love you too Y/N/N" (Your NickName)

I'm sorry again for making this such a cliché chapter, but I enjoyed writing it. I've spent heaps of time on the past two chapters so far, because i'm trying to perfect them as much as I can.

I love you all and stay cranky :)
