Chapter 33/Epilogue

"I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved, to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms were made for holding you" - 18 - One Direction

This last week has been emotionally draining. Having to "break up" with Matt and Austin was difficult and emotional. But now I get to finally tell the one boy who has my heart that I am absolutely in love with him.

Just call me the new Bachelorette. Where are the cameras and producers at?

Really though, I am so glad that I made up my mind and I couldn't be happier. I just hope he feels the same way, but something tells me he will.

I didn't have anything special planned, except just tell him how I feel. But I think that will be more than enough for him.

I had texted Kyle to see where he was and of course he was at our old high school gym playing basketball. He decided to go to Duke on a basketball scholarship, but he hasn't taken a break and just continues to practice.

Putting my car in park at my old high school, I sat in the driver's seat a minute to gather my thoughts. About ten months ago, Kyle and I cross paths. And now I'm about to tell him that I'm in love with him.

It's crazy how it all turned out, but I wouldn't change it for anything.

I get out of my car and go inside the gym. It's quiet except for the sound of he basketball bouncing on the floor and the squeaks Kyle's basketball shoes, which means he's alone. His car was the only one in the parking lot so that makes sense why it's pretty quiet in here.

"Hey, there" I said, getting Kyle's attention when I walked up. He turned and smiled. "Hey"

He looked so good, even though his shirt and hair was soaked with sweat. He was slightly out of breath, so he stopped to drink some water out of his water bottle. I took that time to steal the basketball from him and throw it at the goal. It swished right in and I celebrated.

Kyle laughed, "It must be your lucky day, because I don't think I've ever seen you make a shot like that." He was teasing me and I knew it. I flicked my middle finger up at him and he laughed harder. "So, what do I owe this pleasure of your presence today?"

I then remembered the real reason why I was here and the nerves came back.

What if he changed his mind? What if because I took so long to make up my mind, that he gave up on me? What if another girl came along?

I knew I couldn't think about the what if's. He's shown me that he has feelings for me, so what am I scared of?

Kyle waved a hand in my face, "Hello? Earth to Becca."

I chuckled nervously, "Sorry,"

"Are you okay?" He looked genuinely concerned. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"You were right, Kyle." I said.

He cocked his head to the side, "Right about what?"
