^^^listen to the music while you read^^^

*this chapter is cringey lmao*

Chris had stopped crying now and I was laying on his chest. "You know what I wish?" I said. "What," He asked as he fumbled with one of my curls. "That I could move somewhere beautiful. Like with mountains and snow," I said. "That'd be nice. To bad we are stuck in this shitty town," He laughed. "yeah," I said quietly.
It was quiet and he started humming the tune of a song I'd never heard. "What song is that," I asked. "You know, Ricky Nelson," he smiled. "Y/N... Can I tell you something?" He asked. "Of course," I said with a smile.
It was quiet. "Are you gonna tell me?" I sat up. He cleared his throat. I sat up against the tree in suspense of what he was gonna say. "I love you," He blurted our quietly. I could feel my cheeks blushing. He got up to come sit beside me. "I love you," I said back.
He looked at me, his blue eyes sparkling. He rubbed my cheek. His hands were soft and warm.
He kissed me slowly. I felt like nothing mattered anymore. I'd been waiting for this so long. "Is that ok?" He asked. I smiled which meant yes, and somehow he could tell. He kissed me again.

We fell asleep next to each other and I was hoping that none of the boys had seen, or heard anything. They'd never let it go if they did.
