I was dismissed from the hospital an hour later when they figured out nothing was wrong with me.

My mother sighed me out and Anya drove me home. 

Anya on the drive had my favorite song blasting through the car. 

She smiled at me and started singing along, I didn't know she knew the words or that she remembered my favorite song with all are talks this summer.

Junior year is coming quickly. Too quickly. 

"and I'm certain that I'm yours certain that I'm yours"  she belted out happily 

"Theres something about you its when you get angry you have me at your mercy" I join belting out the lyrics not caring who hears it. 

Anya pulled into my driveway cutting off the rest of the song. 

We climb out of the car and go inside. 

"I ordered a pizza" Anya says plopping onto the couch.

"Have I told you I love you"

"Why yes you have" 

"Have I showed you how much I love you?" 

"No you haven't" 

I took the chance and crash my lips onto hers before she could react I pull her closer in one quick swoop. 

Are bodies so close there isn't an air gap between us. 

I pull away for breath before going back in like a carnivore attacking its prey. 

With a knock on the door Anya pulls away and climbs out from under me to retrieve the pizza. 

I claw the air towards her and whine for her return. 

She opened the door and payed the pizza person before walking back into the living room with a box of breadsticks and a large pizza. 

The pizza smell made my mouth water  my stomach growls as if on cue. 

Anya disappears into the kitchen only to come back with plates and soda. 

She hands me one of each before retrieving her dinner. 

Opening the can the liquid fizzes but I ignore it and chug its contents. 

Anya grabs my plate and places a hot steamy slice of pizza on it, along with a breadstick.

"Thank you, I am forever grateful to have you in my life" 

Anya playfully scoffs before taking a bite of her slice.

"We are watching Titanic"

"Why?" I whine taking another bite

The sauce oozing from the pizza I grab a napkin and wipe the glob of marinara off my leggings before wiping my face.

Anya glanced over a smile tugging onto her lips.

"What?" I ask putting the napkin on the coffee table.

She leans forward and kisses my lips softly before pulling away again.

"What was that?" I ask putting the pizza on the plate

"You had pizza sauce on your lips" she replied nonchalant 

Anya put on her desired movie.

 "It's going to suck" I moan putting the empty plate on the table. 

"You want my crusts?" Anya asks revealing two uneaten crusts.

"You don't like the crust? How could you not like the crust, like what is the pizza was poisoned and the cure was in the crust would you eat the crust then" 

"Do you want the crusts?" 

"No" 

"Titanic's on now shush"

After an hour of the movie I scoot closer to Anya who was in the nook of the couch laying comfortably focused on the movie. 

I rest my head on her chest I glance up to see a very confused Anya. 

"I didn't know your a cuddlier" Anya said resting her hand on her stomach 

"And I didn't know you liked Titanic" I retort turning my focus on Anya.

Her strawberry blonde hair fell elegantly onto her shoulders her forest green eyes that are always gentle and soft with every look. I am a lucky girl. 

 Nuzzling my head in the nook of Anya's neck she gently rests her hand on my back. 

I never imagined myself being this happy and in love with a girl, I soak in every minute I am with her, I always crave her touch when she leaves for the night. 

 I want to kiss her and cuddle all day long. No school or responsibilities of any kind just me and her in are own little world. 

Is this my future, is this what I want? 

"What are you thinking about?" Anya asks looking at me contently.

"Just thinking of how much I love you" 

"In estimation how much?" she asks raising her eyebrow. 

"Like I want to spend the rest of my days with you, like carry your children love you"

"Wow already on the kid topic"

"I know too soon, It's not like I admitted my true feelings tonight or anything" 

Anya smiles at me with her perfect smile before returning her attention to the movie.

Anya Pov 

The ending credits roll onto the screen with those two hours my feet have gotten numb from not moving from the couch. 

How could I?  Amber feel asleep I didn't want to wake her. But now how am I going to get home?

With a rustling noise from the kitchen I squint through the darkness only to see ambers dad rummaging the fridge for a midnight snack. 

He notices my presence and examines the situation sandwich in hand.

"Hi Anya" he greeted quietly 

"Can you help me?" i ask pointing at ambers sleeping form.

He nods before disappearing into the kitchen to what I assume to get a plate for his sandwich. 

When he reamurges he walked over grabbing amber in a bridal style picking her up from me. 

Amber slumps in his arms a smile tugged onto her fathers lips before he carried her away to her bedroom.

I take the chance and slip out the front door to my car. Pulling out of the driveway a mile away towards my house.
