The Love Story

4 years later

Austin came every holiday, then every other holiday, then twice a year, and then once a year.

Jasmine POV

Me and Alex, my boyfriend now, were going out to eat. It was our one year anniversary and he brought me roses and a $100 visa gift card. He gave me chocolate and he told me he was taking me somewhere and it was a surprise. He made me put on a bandana as a blindfold to make sure I couldn't see where he was taking me to. I ended up falling asleep. It literally felt like 24 hours but it was like 5 hours. I would literally hate to be blind.

"Okay you can open up your eyes."

When I took off the blindfold, I saw the most beautiful place I've ever seen. There was leaves covered with snow and the ground was covered with snow. The trees had frost on them and I realized it was snowing lightly. The snowflakes were beautiful.

Alex got out of the car and I followed him.

"My mom and I, used to come here all the time when I was little. I miss it here; I haven't been here since I was like 6!"

"What did you do?"

He took my hand and said "I'll show you."

Last year, right after Austin left, Alex and Sarah broke up. It was really hard on Alex. Me and Austin just got into a huge fight because he never came home anymore and when he did, he was so focused on his music that he didn't have to time to hang out. He only came back when he performed in Texas and he was always at a studio practicing. He had gotten really big. He was on tour with Taylor Swift and he was making a new album called The Secret that was going to be done in the spring! I was so proud of him but I had to move on. Me and Alex started hanging out a lot. We comforted each other. He told me that Austin didn't treat me like I should have been treated. I told him that Sarah was an idiot for leaving him. One day, we just randomly kissed and we both admitted that we enjoyed it. The next day, he asked me out with roses and chocolate. It was 10/24/13 and now it was 10/24/14 and we were still together. He makes me so happy. I love him so much. We were the "it" couple in school. This year, we won homecoming king and queen. The first couple of months, I thought I was just a rebound but I finally realized that he liked me all along. He liked me when Austin liked me. He liked me before he started dating Sarah. He admitted that he liked me and he gave up when me and Austin had sex. I felt really bad. Especially remembering how he found out.

"What are you thinking, about?"

"You. Me. Us. I remember the first day and our first kiss. I remember how sweet you were." I smiled.

"You are the cutest thing ever. I love your smile. I remember that night too. You looked so cute in your gray sweatpants and your pink hoodie."

I didn't even realized we stopped. He let go of my hand and climbed up a tree that looked just like all the other trees.

"My mom and I used to sit up here and stargaze."

He grabbed my hand to help me up. It wasn't that high. He kissed me passionately and I almost fell off the tree. We kissed for awhile.

" This was our special place. Our special tree. Now it can be our special place. I'm pretty sure my mom would be okay with that."

Alex's mom left his dad when he was 7.

"How do you tell what tree it is? There are billions of trees that look just like it."

"We know the area it is in because it is a little past the bridge."

He pointed behind me and I noticed the stone bridge that was above a small river.

"But still, how do you know it's this exact tree?"

He looked up and pointed to a white rope tied around a really high branch.

"We don't know how it got there and how it stayed there through all the winters and seasons. It was our sign that it was meant for us."

I smiled looking at the rope. We went back to the car, he said he was hungry and I agreed.

"Are we gonna get McDonald's?" I asked.

"Hell no. That shit is disgusting."

"Then where are we going?"

"Somewhere but first I have to change."

"I thought we made a deal you wouldn't wear good clothes."

"Yeah well the deal's off. I need to look as perfect as you do."

He got changed and came out with a Tuxedo.

We went to the city of San Antonio. I was really confused.

He told me to close my eyes for a couple minutes. I covered my face with my hands.

He told me I could open my eyes when I felt the car finally park.

I opened my eyes to see La Larouge, the fanciest and most expensive restaurant in Texas.

"Alex, you don't need to do this!"

"Yes, I do. I love you!"

"How are you going to pay for this?!"

"I've saved up. I've been planning since October. You deserve this."

I gave him a kiss a thanked him. I couldn't have asked for anything better. He was my everything. I loved him so much.

We ate the best food ever, laughed, and danced the night away.

Alex stayed at my place and we were both drunk. Alex was a responsible drunk. He was more responsible when he was drunk.

We got back and we were about to fall asleep when I asked Alex if he was ready. He was really confused. I kissed his lips and took his shirt off. I think he understood. He took off my pants, and I unbuckled his pants. We made love that night and it was our first time together. We both fell asleep happy.
