I closed my locker sighing, the last day of school, hoping of starting fresh.

"whats up" ethan walk to my locker "first time I didn't have to start the conversation" I laugh walking out the door with him next to me

"Well, I'm getting more ok with the idea of talking" he smiles, I look at him and keep walking

"Im happy for that" I say blandly

"You all good? You sound not the happiest" he questions while we cross the street

" I'm kinda sad School is over I'm going to have to be around my dad more often"

"What's wrong with you're dad?" He asks questioning

Shit..

"Umm I didn't mean to say that I- um" I clear my throat quickly walking quicker

"Wait wait wait" he says running towards me

"What's with you're dad" he asks looking at me concerned

"Nothing- nothing actually he is fine" I smile pulling on my backpack straps

"No tell me the truth, don't you trust me?" He stops me and looks into my eyes

"I-uh uh- do I just" I pause starting to think

He doesn't really want to know. He is only acting like this because he has to care.

"I don't like being around my dad because- I have more freedom at school" I shake my head

"That's not why, I know you enough" he rolls his eyes

"No I'm right, what did you think my dad did" I laugh nervously

"Never mind, I was just overthinking it" he shakes his head grabbing my hand

He starts walking quicker towards a area I'm not to familiar with. "You kidnapping me?" I laugh

"Am I kidnapping you?" he raised his eyebrows. We both laugh it off continuing the walk

I would love to be kidnapped by you Ethan

We walked in a comfortable amount of silence.

The drastic amount of change in Ethan these last few days are what made me realize how much I liked him.

But he likes me too. Right?

I look up at his outfit, skinny ripped jeans a loose red t-shirt and his hair brushed nicely.

He caught my stair and smiled "I knew you would like this outfit" with his signature smirk that melts my insides

"Whops" I sarcastically roll my eyes. He lets go of my hand and covers my eyes

"I'm taking you to- somewhere. Don't move my hands it's a surprise" he says walking me.

I was walked about 2 minutes before he sat me down onto a chair, I try feeling my surroundings yet I couldn't figure out what it was

"Umm alright- open you're eyes" he removes his hand from my eye and I look around

Lights were hung around the trees, I sat on a tiny table with a wine glass filled with water. The tree leaves hung down hovering over the table. I laughed before looking up at Ethan

He had a nervous smile on his face "I um- was going to wait for tonight but- but I couldn't" he says chewing on the insides of his cheek

"I i-" I stutter "if u don't like it-" he says before I cut him off

"I love it Ethan, this is truly amazing" I put a genuine smile on my face.

He moves to sit down on the chair on front of me.

"Thank you" I smile looking up at him

"Well, I brought you here to tell you something um" he says tapping his fingers.

"You can tell me anything"

"Me being really extra I made this to tell you something somewhat important I guess"

"I feel like I do better on paper" he says passing me a folded paper

He closes his eyes.

Dear Lizette,

Hi, it been a quick minute since you've seen a note from me. I wanted to explain something to you that I can't seem to do with actual talking.

Um
I like you... a lot actually.
Every time I've seen you I've falling more and more into the idea of being around you, I absolutely love it. That day at the field I sent Grayson up to see why you were crying, was the reason I really wanted to know you and other reasons as well

You seemed to mysterious, and you don't find a closed book in many girls around here. So every time I heard you're name in the hallway I listen closely. Every guy that said something about you I listened

You seemed broken and quiet, when we all hung out you never said much, you were always thinking. And I really wanted to know what it was about.

Then you showed up at the house. With my mom always talking about you every time I was downstairs. I was shocked. I never in a million years thought someone couldn't actually care that much about me.

I started to feel better about my mistakes and a little less worried about things I couldn't control.

Talking became more heard from me, I started showing up at dinner and it became more of a habit

And that one night you let me hug you. That was the best day of my life.

Hopefully that could change making this the best night

Lizette? Will you be my girlfriend?

Sincerely, Ethan

The biggest smile ran across my face

"Yes Ethan, I will be you're girlfriend" I smile before getting up to hug him.

My arms rapped around his back while his found his way to my hips

I hugged him tight not wanting to let go. I felt a few tears stream down my face

I'm scared of what my dad will think of he finds out.

He lets go dragging his fingers across the tears

"Oh wow you're crying" he smiles.

"Now that you're my boyfriend, you will see the very emotional side of me" I say snuggling my nose on his shoulder

"I've never been more ready" he smiles.

"I think I'm kinda getting this now."

"Nothing is really our fault"
