Love Is Love

I love you

Parker's POV

My phone buzzes with a text message from Jackson.

J: Can you please meet me at the park in 5?

I sigh and respond.

P: ok.

I head downstairs and go into the living room. My parents look up when they see me. I haven't been out of my room ever since last night, and they tried to get me to eat something, but I wouldn't leave my bed or room.

" Hey Parker, how are you feeling?" my mom asks. I haven't told them what happened yet, just that we got into a fight.

" I'm okay. I'm gonna go for a walk," I say before leaving before they say anything else. I get to the park and sit on the same bench we sat on before, waiting for him. I try to figure out what to say to him and how to say it. He comes around the corner and he looks nervous, just like me. He comes over to me and sits next to me, not saying anything.

" I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my parents," he says quietly. I didn't say anything, waiting to see if he would elaborate.

" I just- I... I was so scared of losing you and I didn't want to tell you because I saw how your parents loved you no matter what and how you have a family and how I didn't and I just wanted to feel normal because I'm like in totally in love with you and I didn't want to screw it up because I've never done this before and-" I cut him off.

" Wait, what did you just say?"

" How I've never done this before?"

" No, before that." he blushes.

" Oh, that." he looks down, so I put my hand under his chin to make him look at me.

" You're in love with me?" I ask quietly.

" From the moment I saw you I knew I was," he answers. I close the space between us, kissing him.

" I love you too Jackson." He smiles before looking down again.

" I told my mom about me... about us."

" And?"

" She wants to meet you," he says. I can't contain my smile and he sees it.

" What?"

" I'm so proud of you for coming out like that," I say, giving him a hug.

" And I want to meet her too," I say, causing him to smile even more.

" Good, because her and Hannah are at my house right now making a cake for us so..." I burst out laughing.

" Well then what are we waiting for?" I stand up and grab his hand, pulling him up. I wrap my arms around his waist, pulling him close to me.

" So does this mean we're official?" I ask him. He gives me a kiss, the kind that makes you forget about everything bad in your life. When he pulls away, he smiles at me.

" How's that for an answer?" he asks. He takes my hand and we start running to his house, the sun setting behind us. A perfect ending to the start of a perfect relationship.
