MY MUM TOLD ME TO STOP SAYING POG AND NOW IM ANGRY (true story)-17

I want to say thank you to suckitgreenboy for being so nice and reading my story! Thank you so much! Anyways, on to the part you're here for :)

I walked onto the beach and sat beside Tommy.

"I wanted to give you something before we go back to school." He said, holding a small box in his hand. I looked up at him, noticing the slight discoloration in his eyes. I had noticed this before in other people when they were sad or hurt. He knows. 

I carefully took the box from his hand and opened it, my eyes locked on the gorgeous necklace inside. The opal inside the small gold star stared back at me, it beauty showing. It was a really thoughtful gift, one that I was in fact going to buy for myself soon. 

"It reminded me of you." He said, a small smile spread across his face. The messy blonde hair he messed with all the time looking more formal than usual. If that was even a thing Tommy did, anyways. 

"I love it." I said, pulling it out of the box. It's the small moments like this that remind me how I fell in love with Tommy in the first place. I opened the clasp and pulled the necklace around me, fastening it again. My hair fell in front of my face as I looked into his eyes, waiting for Tommy to say something. 

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath. 

"I know about what happened with Wilbur."

I have never felt as much shock, guilt, and overwhelming defeat, than right now. The waves of guilt washed over me, as I tried to find the courage to form sentences about what happened. And I knew it wasn't my fault, but the shame came upon me like a bag of bricks. 

"You don't have to say anything," he said. "I know you didn't do anything wrong. But I just want to know if you feel that way about him." 

My face heated up as tears spilled from my eyes. Did he really think I would lie to him? 

"Of course not. I love you." I spit out, burying my face in my hands. I've never really dated anyone before, only weirdly rejected once. For being a twitch streamer. Kind of ironic, huh? 

"Will you go out with me?" I asked Derek, a boy from my last school. Cassidy and Laura were sat 2 rows away at another lunch table, watching me. 

"Uh. Kira, you're a lovely girl. Quite brilliant, actually. But no, I will not go out with you." 

I cried my eyes out when I got home from school that day. 

Tommy pulled me into a hug, rocking back and forth. The salty sea air blew into our faces as the sun set, both our phones lightly buzzing. 

"God, I fucking love you." Tommy said, pulling away from me. He looked all over my face, cupping my cheek. 

"I hope you know that I would take a bullet for you." he whispered, connecting our lips for a second time. Fireworks went off in my stomach, as I grabbed onto his wrist to pull him in a little closer. 

I pressed my forehead to his, looking in his eyes. 

You can tell a lot of things about a person by their eyes. They say that eyes are the gateway to the soul, which I think is very true. Even through a discord call, you can look at them and see all their thoughts. 

Tommy's eyes, to me, are like the stars. I've always had a fascination with stars. They light up and show pictures, and even represent some people's dreams. You can see in Tommy's bright blue eyes, everything he's ever thought about. It's so much more evident around the people he cares about too. I mean, you should see him with Tubbo, it's like they've been best friends since before we were born. 

The depth you can see when you look at him, its almost like you've seen him everywhere but nowhere all at once. It's quite the little thing to think about. 

I turned to look out at the ocean, hearing my phone buzz for the 5th time. 

Curious George- Where the fuck are you? Get your ass back to the house. We're having dinner with Tommy's mum you lil shit

Curious George- Hello?? Get over here!

Curious George- I am going to find you and kill you if you don't get back over here

Curious George- stop ignoring me like a asshole

Curious George- istg if you're in London with Tommy I'm going to beat you

Jeez. Over protective brother much? 

I leaned my head on Tommy's shoulder and closed my eyes, breathing slowly. All my worries drifted away, as the sand slipped into my free hand. I felt on top of the world. 

On top of the whole fucking world.
