Part five
I looked at him with the color drained from my face and I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. He pulled back for air and laughed.
I whispered in his ear "Yes."
He hugged me so tight and said,"You have no idea how long I've wanted to ask you that. When you first fell into my backyard I knew I was going to be with you forever. You're the only thing closest to perfect as I can get to ever since I left Seattle."
I buried my face into his chest,and cried a little because no one has ever told me that. He felt me crying and pulled me into his lap. I put my face into his neck and just cried. I wasn't sobbing I was just crying. I cried because I was happy. Crying because it was the first time in forever I'd been happy.
When I was done crying I was laughing by how much I cried. His neck was wet from my tears. I laughed and wiped my tear stained cheeks, and his neck. He kissed my forehead and laid down. He opened his arms and I laid down next to him. He had his arms wrapped around me. I feel asleep with a smile on my face.
When I woke up the next morning Ricky was still sleeping. I was turned with my back facing him,and he was laid with his stomach on my back. He had taken off his jacket. Which was probably when I fell asleep. I saw his wrists. Scars. He had scars. I just looked at them. I touched them and he woke up.
I looked at him and said "Sorry."
"It's fine. I guess you wanna know my story?"
I nodded.
"Well it all started in the eighth grade. Everyone was a bitch. I dressed in less black than I do now, but still wore it. Everyday was a different war I had to fight. My sister was turning 16 and I just couldn't take it anymore. So I attempted and I failed. I lost a lot of blood. They said I was lucky to even get there alive. My parents put me in therapy when I was 14 and it was a living hell." He paused. "My family moved here so I could start over. Ever since I met u I knew everything was going to be okay. When I came home from working on your walls. My mother asked me where I had been. I said at a friends house. She said you have been spending a lot of time outside of the house. Who are the friends? I told her Ashlyn Grey and Chris Cerulli. Then after that she fell silent and said at least your happy here. And you know what now I'm happier than ever. I love you. Trust me if anyone hurts you. I will never let them do it again."
I had more tears in my eyes. He wiped them away and Chris said "God did you finally ask her?"
He nodded and instantly Chris jumped on the bed screaming "YES!"
We all stared laughing. Since it was summer and we had nothing to do but Chris still had to work me and Ricky went to his house. The reason why we always go to Ricky's house is because Chris doesn't really want us there without him. For obvious reasons. When we got to the door Ricky's older sister was there. Don't get me wrong she was nice and stuff I just never met her before.
"Alright we're going to be in here." Ricky says.
"Okay." She says.
The room was silent until Ricky put on the "ScreamWorks" album by HIM. I laughed a little and he just smiled. "God your laugh is so adorable."
I blushed.
He was singing and didn't notice. I didn't mind he had a beautiful voice. Every time he sang it sounded like an angel and it would slowly bring me to sleep. I didn't fall asleep obviously, but it was just every time he sang it sounded like we were just meant to be together. Every time he looks at me with those killer blue eyes it feels like he's going to be mine forever.
When the song he was singing was over, he climbed up on the bed and held me close. He kissed my neck and then kissed me hard on the lips. He bit my lip. I pulled back for air and I said "When ever you do that my heart races. It makes me fall for you harder.".
"You're so beautiful. How could you fall for me?" He questioned.
I kissed him and whispered in his ear "You have something in you that makes me love you so much. You're talented and your personality is flawless. You play guitar like you've known ever since you were born. You sing like an angel, and you can put up with my bitchy side. How could I not fall for you?"
He held me and we just listened to the album over and over again. It felt like heaven. I fell asleep and I felt him kiss my forehead and say "I love you Ashlyn Grey."
