The 6 am sun started creasing in through the blinds in my room. I still hadn't slept at all. I couldn't sleep because I was trying to evaluate this Chris situation too much, so I stopped thinking about it, and hoped that it'd just come to me.  However I did start writing a few more songs and made another YouTube video. I stopped working on the song I was writing, when I started getting a call from Chris. I wonder why he's up so early? Maybe be couldn't sleep either.

" Hey..." I answered.

"Hey Lilah, how ya' feeling?" He asked sounding somewhat jittery.

"I'm alright I guess. How about yourself?"

"I'm...I'm not sure how I feel...do you want to meet up somewhere?"

"Sure, but do you know your way around here?"

"I can figure it out."

"I'll pick you up Chris, just text me your address of wherever you are, and I'll be right there."

"Okay, thanks Lilah." He said, then I hung up and started changing. I put on dark skinny jeans, a red cardigan sweater, TOMS with some bracelets then I left. He was at a motel not too far, he must have walked there. When I picked him up, he was still wearing the same brown sweater and dark jeans from yesterday, and of course no shoes. Hm, did my parents even notice that he wasn't wearing shoes yesterday? He smiled weakly as he got into the car, I turned on the radio, and we drove in uncomfortable silence. We went to a Starbucks and ordered. I got a cappuccino and Chris got orange juice, Chris insisted on paying, then we sat down.

"So...happy anniversary...." Chris said awkwardly.

"Chris, I don't want to fight, especially on our anniversary." I said.

"I don't want to either. I feel beyond terrible from what happened with Stacy. I'm just afraid that you won't want to be with me anymore. You're one of the most stable things I got going for me right now, I don't want to screw it up."

"I do want to stay with you, but even though you didn't voluntarily what you did with Stacy, it still hurts me." I said said my voice almost cracking.

"I'm sorry babe, I'm really sorry. I'll never forgive myself for it, but I hope that you can though." He said, placing his hand over mine. I looked down at our hands, his tattooed hand over my frail hand. I smiled. Even though I still am upset, I didn't want to give up Chris. I looked at him, and leaned in and kissed him, then pulled away after a couple of seconds. We smiled as we pulled away, then decided to just not to talk about the incident again. When we left Starbuck's I showed Chris around the town, and we did a little shopping. At around 5, we got home, and I was about to pass out because I was so tired since I still hadn't slept.

"Can we go to dinner and do all that anniversary stuff tomorrow? I'm really tired, and just want to sleep." I said wearily.

"Of course darlin'." Chris said smiling. I stayed in my clothes and got into bed, and cuddled next to Chris, and fell asleep on his chest, I could hear his heart beating and it was adorable.

-Next Morning-

 

When I woke up, I felt vibrant but wanted to change into more comfy clothes. I smiled because I was still laying on Chris's chest, he was asleep, but he was smiling. I sat up quietly and took a picture of him to put on Twitter. But when I went to post the picture, the one picture of Chris and Stacy was all over Twitter. I tried not to let it upset me, but it did and I wanted to hit Stacy with a bus. To calm myself down, I went to take a shower and listened to Stick To Your Guns. I went back to my room, with a towel wrapped around me, Chris was just waking up.

"Oh hello." Chris winked as he yawned.

"Ha, you're such a dork." I said as I went to my closet to get some clothes.

"Well I'm going to take a shower as well, I'll be out in like 5 minutes." He said, then kissed me on the cheek and went out. I put on a white  Nirvana tank top and a pair of ripped, black skinny jeans, and then went to the mirror to do my hair and make up. Chris came back in, but already had a new outfit on. Once I was done getting ready, we went driving around the town and just hung out. We went to a movie and then dinner for our anniversary later. Kinda cheesy, but there's not much to do in this crap town. When we got back to my house, we were going to exchange gifts, and I was extremely nervous, I was shaking in my boots.

"You give your gift first." Chris asked smiling. I bit my lip nodding, getting my guitar.

"Aw! You wrote me a song, babe!" Chris cheered as he saw me positioning my guitar. I smiled slightly, but it just made me even more nervous, like he was building expectations for the song. My hands trembled as I placed one hand on the neck of the guitar. Chris must have noticed I was nervous, because he rubbed my back soothingly for a moment. I took in a deep breath and began playing.

"I can't do anything without you, I can't do anything with you. You drive me crazy, but I love you, you make me lazy but I love you. I want to hit you but then I kiss you, I want to kill you but then I'd miss you.  You drive me crazy but I love you, you make me lazy but I love you. Ooh ooh. I'm always waiting by the phone I can't wait for you to get home. I'm always crazy when I miss you, I'm always lazy when I miss you. And even though you are my guy, I always freak when I get high. I'm always crazy when I miss you, I'm always lazy when I miss you.  Ooh ooh.  Maybe I'm just crazy (x3) , crazy for you, baby!"  I was really proud of the song, I feel that it summed up Chris and I's relationship. I noticed Chris chuckle at little and smile a lot while I was singing.

"Delilah that was the most perfect gift ever! For 3 reasons: 1. no one has ever written a song about me. 2. You wrote it! and 3. it described us perfectly! And also...you love me? He said sounding quite happy.

"Well...yeah I love you." I said blushing.

"Delilah, I've been in love since I met you, but I've just been too afraid to tell you, because I wasn't sure if you'd feel the same." He said, half smiling. We both smiled and he pulled me into a long tender kiss.

"Okay... now.. my ..present!"I said between kisses. He sighed then pulled away, I looked at him excited.

"I got 2 things for you, the first one is this..." He said while pulling at a little case from his pocket then handed it to me. It was a musical note necklace, with my initials on the the back.

"Aw, this is wonderful!" I said about to pull him into a hug. But he put his arms up and stopped me.

"Wait! And also...you're going to be able to do an EP for Loveway Records or Warner Bros. Records, you can pick which one!" Chris said enthusiastically.

"Oh. My. God! Oh my God! This is amazing! Thank you, thank you! And Loveway Records, of course!" I cheered jumping around.Chris started laughing, and he pulled me back onto the bed and we started making out passionately.  I even considered putting out for Chris, but I wanted to meet his family and all that first. We ended talking for a couple of hours, then fell asleep, spooning each other. But before we drifted to sleep, we both whispered, "I love you."
