The New Boy ~G.D~

chapter thirty nine

You walk into your house with the lights all off. You heard someone move in the kitchen and you knew what was going on, but you didn't want to ruin it.

You flick on the lights and your friends and family pop out from every piece of furniture and yell "Surprise!"

"Oh my god!" You fake your excitement just for them.

People come up to you with giant presents and small ones and fill your arms with them.

"Guys I'm just graduating, it's not Christmas" you laugh.

Your mom was the last to hand you something. It was a letter and you thought money would be held in it, since she'd always done that so you could get your own thing and not complain with what you got.

"I don't need it-" she shoves the paper into your hand and takes the rest of the gifts to set them down.

"Just shut up and open it" she smiles slightly and glances down at the piece of enclosed paper.

You slowly rip it open and read the first couple sentences of the letter.

Your eyes widen and a large smile takes place on your features.

"I got accepted!" You scream. Your dream school, UCLA, accepted your application.

Everyone cheers and hugs you and you hug them back, but you really only wanted to hug one person.

"Where's Gray?" You ask.

Your mom looks behind you and you turn around. Grayson stood there in a tuxedo. He combed his hair a nice way, better than ever. He looked like a professional.... anything.

He just looked fantastic.

He held his arm out and you took it, linking yours into his. He leads you out of your house and the rest of friends and family stood shocked.

"That's her boyfriend?" Someone in the crowd asks, shocked. "Yes, shut up" you hear your mom snap.

———

Grayson took you to the beach you had your first date on and for some reason, you wanted to cry.

He takes his suit off and puts on some swimming shorts.

"Come on" he smiles.

"Gray, I don't have anything to swim in. I'm wearing a dress" you laugh. He pulls out a bikini from the back seat of his car.

"Is that?"

"Yup," he smiles widely, "it's the same ones you wore on our first date. And the same beach, the same shorts, the same everything. Let's go."

You change into your bikini and take his hand and run into the ocean.

You swim out until only your head was above the surface.

"I don't know what I ever did to deserve someone like you." You place a kiss on his lips.

"Me too, I just don't know how I kept you my girlfriend for this long. I never thought someone like you would be able to love a person like me, you know?"

His hands find themselves on your waist and you find the time to put yours around his neck.

"Yeah, honestly I do. You were so... perfect when I met you and you still are. I don't know how I ever got to be yours. Let alone, how you put up with me."

"If i didn't love you, i wouldn't have made time for you. And if you didn't love me, I wouldn't be here right now." Grayson says. Tears fill your eyes a little.

"Where would you be?" You ask.

"Gone. Dead. I really don't know where I would be without you. I'm so lost when I'm not around you. My head gets clouded and I can't think straight because all I have on my mind is you.

"Nothing makes sense when I don't have your taste on my lips within the last 10 minutes. I love the way you handle everything and do everything you do and just... you think I'm perfect, when I think the same about you. We're perfect together. And no one can tell me otherwise."

You walk to the shore with Grayson and lay some towels down. You sat cross legged in front of Grayson as he did the same.

"I love everything you do." He starts off. You already feel like crying again.

"I love having your touch on my skin, and your lips on mine. I can't go a second without missing you. I think of you all the time. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you in my life and I'm sure as hell that i wouldn't be as happy as I am right now if I never met you.

"You are the definition of my happiness. You are the most imperfect perfect person I have ever met, and I love that about you. I love everything about you. I write about you, and even though I suck, I sing about you, too" you laugh a little and hold his hands.

"My heart dances when I see you and my mind is so clear I can finally think straight. I can't go a day without you. And I never want to" he pulls a small box out from the bag next to him.

"I know we're really young, that's why this isn't the real ring. But it's a promise ring," he takes it out and shows you the small diamond.

"I, Grayson Dolan, promise," he holds up his right hand, "to you, y/n y/l/n, that one day I will marry you. And to never, ever ever ever break your heart. I will keep a smile on your face and when there isn't, I will make sure to turn it upside down."

He puts the promise ring on your left pinkie finger. Tears spill over your eyes and fall down your face.

He was quick to catch them. He puts his hands on your face and you put your small hands on top of his.

His lips crash against yours and with every second, your love for him grew a million miles more.

You pull away and caress his face with your right hand as he closes his eyes.

"I love you so much, Y/n" he whispers. He opens his eyes.

You see the hazel and green orbs you fell in love with again, and you start all over. You didn't know how you loved him so much, but you did.

The sun shines into them, sending beams of light into yours like a flashlight on a dark night.

"I love you so much more"
