"today was a good day"

"thank you"

"you're stuck with me"

these phrases kept ringing through my head as we continued to drive, she is so happy, but she doesn't know the half of it.

"today was a good day, sky" i lied. the only good thing about today was that she was mine, and i was hers. so many things could've gone wrong, and she has no clue. "let's take you home, yeah?"

i say making a turn towards her house, nodding as she looked out the window.

"you're stuck with me"

she said it in such a playful tone, making me smile at the thought, but was i? would she want to stay after i had held out on her for so long? i should just spit it out, right now.

"i'm a singer, that's why i moved here, i didn't want you to think different of me. please don't be mad, i love you"

is what i was going to say, but i saw her lightly smiling in the reflection of the window and just couldn't ruin this day for her. i'm hers, and she's mine, nothing can change that. not even a big secret that i've been keeping for over a year.

"let's play music, yeah?" i suggested, reaching forward to turn on the radio. as i was turning the volume nob up, i heard the radio host speak.

"this guy's pretty new, and all the way from australia!? he just dropped an ep with some hit songs... here's painkiller by-" immediately shutting it off, and looking towards the road again. i could feel skylar's eyes on me, and one i glanced over i saw her confused look.

"do you want me to turn it on?" she questions, reaching out to turn up the volume. i violently shook my head 'no', reaching for her hand to come away from the radio. her face morphs into more confusion at my actions, "it's just music, do you want to play something from your phone then?"

nodding, i hand her my phone, immediately hearing a favorite song of ours ring through the car. infinity; one direction.

"how many nights would it take to count the stars" she screamed out, rolling down her window to stick her head out of. her careless behavior made me relax a little more, belting out the song and opening my window as well.

so here we were, blasting a one direction song, with the windows rolled down. we continued for many songs just until we got to her house, "and here" i said as i pulled up to the curb beside her house. "let me walk you in?"

"of course" she said, stepping out of the car then slamming the door shut. i also get out, walking a bit faster to catch up to her. i reach down to interlace our fingers, gently circling her thumb with mine.

"thank you, sky" i whisper once we're at her door, holding her face between my hands, "i love you."

tears were welling up in her eyes, though not enough to fall down her face, "i love you too" after she said that, i started to lean down, inspecting her face to make sure my actions were okay.

once i got a sense that she was sure this was fine, i softly put my lips to hers, slightly puckering to peck her lips. she reciprocated the action, closing her eyes as i pulled away. as my lips left hers, i curled them together, savoring the feeling.

"bye, sky, i'll see you later" i say with a smile, backing up towards my car. i can see her red cheeks, even in the very dim lighting, the sky only being illuminated by the moon. "blushy, huh?"

she only laughed out annoyed, opening her front door and stepping inside, "thank you, ruel, i'll see you tomorrow" she said disappearing behind the door.

i didn't notice until i was sat in my car, but the largest smile had grown over my face, my eyes shut to take in this moment of pure happiness. the best thing is nothing could ruin it...

for now at least.

"finley! where are you?!" i yell as i walk into my room. when i turn in he's in the same place as always, perched as if he was a royal. "you're an interesting one, but i have news for us!" i squeal.

dancing around in my bedroom as i turn on some soft lights around my room. "i got kissed! it's incredible, truly incredible. ruel loves me! and i say that all the time, but it's just so surreal."

dancing over to finley and cradling him like a baby, maybe i should get ready for sleep, end this fantastic day before my parents can yell at me for something. parents aren't a topic that's ever brought up, i think ruel knows how my relationship is with them.

"let's get ready for sleep now" i say in a baby voice towards him, "parents are coming home soon."

as i was washing my face, i heard a car pull into the driveway.

this early?

the front door was slammed shut and some rustling was happening. curious i went to see what the commotion was and there stood my dad, drunk.

but that's when he started yelling.
