Just around the corner (drew phillips fanfic)

Chaper 29

As I lay in my bed texting Drew at 12:00 am, I'm terrified to sleep. There was a recent break in around the neighborhood, and of course I'm home alone tonight.

Drew texts me, "I just have to wait till everyone's asleep, so soon. I'll come over and we can hangout till you fall asleep. :)"

It's been a couple weeks since the whole "incident" and Drew and I have never been better.

Dakota has been nonstop asking me whether or not we've had sex since the first time, and I think I need to find her a boyfriend so she can stop asking me for the explicit details.

The answer's no, but I'm glad we're waiting for a special time for the next. Or at least that's what I think we're doing, I haven't really talked to him about it. Should I?

Okay I'm not perverted, but I do miss being passionate with him. Lately all we've done is cuddling and watching movies or hanging out. Don't get me wrong, I love that. But we haven't even made out in like three days.

Maybe I'm just being a stupid hormonal teenager, but right now isn't too much fun.

I hear something press up against the window and I hide under my blankets. Drew's still waiting for his parents to go to sleep.

The sound of three knocks surrounds my bedroom and if it isn't Drew at the window, I'll shoot myself.

"Hey, it's just me." I hear Drew's soft voice as he enters the room.

I don't even wait for him to get settled, and I start kissing him. He pulls away startled. "Ally, is everything okay?"

"Shut up and kiss me." I demand, not wanting to look him in the eyes.

He puts my chin between two of his fingers so I look up at him. "Gladly."

And just like that, I'm lost. Lost in him, everything and everyone else is gone. It's just us, and I want it to be like this forever.

He pulls away and still looks concerned. "Seriously Ally, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I just missed you."

"Same here." He mutters, and kisses my cheek.

I make my bed comfy with blankets and popcorn, ready for us to watch another movie.

While I sit and get myself settled, Drew comes by my side and looks at me with his eyes so pure, as if he was staring right through me.

"I knew you, and I thought nothing of it. I lived next door to you, and I thought nothing of it. You said good morning to me, and I kind of thought nothing of it. I sat next to you in class and saw how passionate you are about tiny things, and I thought something of it. We hungout, and I really thought something of it. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and you just came into my life like the fall...just around the corner. I love you with my whole soul and heart and being. I hope things will stay like this forever. Just me and you. That is all I want, forever."

I feel the heat go straight to my cheeks, heart pounding.

This is insane, I'm just that awkward girl at the back of the class who blends in with everyone else. I'm not that special? Like I can't comprehend why someone as wonderful as him could like someone as plain as me.

When he looks at me again he says, "I know what you're thinking. You actually are doubting how special you are to me, aren't you? You are the greatest person I have ever come to know. Don't you ever tell me that you aren't important because you sure as hell are to me."

He almost angry, and I'm worried I just ruined this moment.

I tell him quietly, "I'm sorry."

Technically I didn't even say anything, but he really did know what I was thinking.

"Don't feel bad. It just makes me so frustrated because I really want you to know how much you mean to me. No one is more special than you." He says, and I'm angry because everything I've been wanting to say I'm too scared to.

"I love you. I really do, with all my heart. I feel like I think to much and I don't say anything. I overthink and I keep it all up here." I say, pointing to my dumb ass brain.

"You make me feel special, you really do. I just wonder how someone so incredible as you could fall for someone like me. Everything about you is beautiful to me, even if you're a guy. You're simply beautiful and I hope this never stops. You and I. Not for a very long time. Don't ever leave...please? I get scared and a little insecure. Just don't leave." I breathe out, gasping for breath because I'm too nervous to say every little thing I feel to this boy.

All of my feelings are jumbled up and I feel as if this isn't enough. There's more I could say, but it's hard to describe everything your heart feels.

He puts my blankets under us, without saying a word and hugs me tightly. He moves his mouth closer to my ear and whispers, "I'm not going anywhere."
