Chapter 15
Kyle's P.O.V.
"Kendra just called, Falon's on her way home," I hear Julie say running into my room. "You look good, it's gonna be perfect, don't worry."
"Thank you." I look in the mirror one last time before we get into our places. A few minutes later Falon's car pulls into the driveway. She gets out of the car. She looks beautiful, but also shocked. 'Is it too much?' I think. She walks over to me.
"What is all this?" She asks.
"It's for you." I tell her. I put my arm out for her to grab. I walk her over to thetable I have set up by the pool. She sits down and I push in her chair for her. "You look beautiful!" I tell her.
"Thank you, you're not to bad yourself." She winks. "So i'm guessing the girls were in on this?"
"Yes, Julie called Kendra right after you went upstairs this morning."
"So, why are you doing this?" She asks.
"You'll have to wait till the end of the night." I smirk.
"That's no fun." She says crossing her arms, pretending to be mad. Suddenly my friend Dave walks out with the food. Falon's favorite, pizza, fries and ceasar salad and pepsi to drink.
"I know it's nothing fancy, but it is your favorite." I say hoping she'll be okay with it.
"I don't like fancy food that much anyway, you can't do this." She says picking up the pizza with her hands.
"God you're cute." I tell her, she blushes.
"No" She says.
"Yes you are" she just smiles. I wish she would believe me. After we finished eating, Dave took our plates and came back with dessert, cherry cheesecake.
"This night can't possibly get any better" Falon says digging into her cheesecake. When were done, Dave comes back to get our plates. Then my friend Brendan, I call him Moose, came in. I told Falon that he would be taking pictures and videos. She didn't really like that idea but she finally agreed, thankfully. Eventually we both forgot he was even there.
As the night went on, I didn't want it to end but I was kinda excited for it to end.
-The end of the date-
"Falon, theres a reason I did this," I say "I know we haven't known each other for that long but I feel like we'd be good together."
"Kyle," I see her smiling.
"Falon, what i'm trying to say is, will you do the honors of being my girlfriend?"
"Yes, oh my god Kyle, of course I will!" I get up and pull her into a hug.
"I'm so happy you said yes." I whisper into her ear.
"I'm so happy you asked me" she whispers back.
I pull back a little to look at her but I don't for very long because the next thing I know, her lips are touching mine. I don't hesitate and kiss her back. Eventually I pull back and rest my forehead on hers. "I lied about earlier, this night did get better. A lot better." She tells me, I smile.
"It's getting cold, how about we go inside?" She nods. I wrap my arm around her waist and we walk inside together. We go change into our pjs. When Falon comes downstairs, something is different about her. Then I realize it, she's in a tshirt! I haven't seen her in anything other then a sweater or longsleeve shirt. She must really trust me.
She sits next to me on the couch and snuggles up to me, trying to cover her arms. I grab her arm and say "It's okay, I won't change my mind." She breathes in deeply then lifts her arms. Her right arm has nothing on it, but her left arm is full of scars and fresh cuts. "Oh Falon." I say, wanting to cry.
I don't understand why she would do this. I think shes perfect. I hold her close. She starts to cry, I lift her chin up, "I don't think any less of you. Actually I'm proud that you trust me enough to show me. And i'm also proud that you're strong enough to still be here." She stops crying and I wipe away her tears.
"I guess you're right. I've been trying to stop for awhile. I even did stop until my depression came back. But for you, I will try to stop again." I look at her, I starting tearing up a bit.
"You trusting me enough to show me your scars was good enough for me, but for you to try and stop for me, is perfect." I tell her. "We're gonna get through this" She tries to smile at me.
"Kyle, i'm gonna try my hardest. I'll even start by throwing away my blades and lighters." she tells me. I don't say anything else, I just hold her. A few hours later. It was really late, we both dozed off. I picked up Falon and took her to her room. After I got into my bed I thought 'Her last treatment is tomorrow.' I fell asleep not long after that thought.
