What have I ever done to them? What would make them want to say horrible things to me?
“You’re disgusting. Why does Dawson like you?” This girl —who I don’t even know— came up to me and said.
I cringed. “W-What do you mean?” I ask cautiously.
“Come on!” She laughed. “He’s the leader of the football team! Why would he want to go out with someone as fat and disgusting as you?”
Well, I guess I see what people think of me now. I sigh, cringing, and mumble, “you’re right.” She smirks and nods.
Then Dawson came out of nowhere. Literally.
“What has she ever done to you?” He sneered at the girl. She widens her eyes.
“Dawson!” She smiled, suddenly flirtatious. She went to Dawson’s side and gripped his arm, but he pulled his arm away.
“I asked you a question.” He glared at her.
“Oh, um...” She scrambled for an answer. “I was just telling her that she is lucky to have you.”
Liar.
“I heard the whole thing, so you can’t lie. Paige is the best thing that ever happened to me. She is perfect in every single way. She is sweet, unlike you.” Dawson glares at her and intertwines our hands. The girl looks down at our locked hands and frowns in disappointment.
She opened her mouth to speak again, but Dawson was already pulling me away. I knew his temper would go off if he continued to talk to her, and he knew, too.
Dawson sighed when we were away from her. “You’re perfect. Don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise.” I hugged him tightly, with tears streaming out of my eyes. "I love you so much. Thank you. Who was that girl anyway?" I asked. He replies angrily "Oh, that was my ex, Marie. I broke up with her because she was cheating on me." I replied "She doesn't deserve you. If she is going to do that, she doesn't deserve you."
He picked me up so my legs were around him and my arms were around his neck, and I rested my head on his shoulder, smelling his comforting scent. His warm arms felt good against my back. He was comforting me with sweet nothings. "Don't ever forget that I love you. You are beautiful, absolutely perfect. You mean the entire world to me. I love you more than the Cookie Monster loves cookies. Never let go."
"I will never let go. I promise. Your warmth makes me comforted. I will never make this infinite love end. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. I want you to know, I will never stop loving you." I said. "And I will never stop loving you." he says. Our lips collide, and I know, he loves me.
When I finally calm down, we get into the car. He says "Calm down, baby. Its okay. This won't happen again. If it does, the results won't be anything near as little as this one." I reply, my breaths shaky "Okay. I love you." He replies "I love you too. Never forget that."
Once we got to his house, we ran to his bedroom. His lips smash into mine. Then he pulls away and says "I have a surprise for you. Cover your eyes. Don't peek!" I put my hands over my eyes and wait. I hear him hit the wall a few times. He was getting something out of his closet. The banging stopped, and he said "Open your eyes." So I did, and what I saw was adorable. He was holding a guitar. He started playing an acoustic version of "She Looks So Perfect" by 5 Seconds Of Summer. His voice was deep. I loved it. I joined in, because I loved the song. "She looks so perfect standing there, in my American Apparel underwear, and I know now, that I'm so down. Your lipstick stain is a work of art, I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart, and I know now, that I'm so down" and we continue singing together.
When the song was over, he said "You are perfect, Paige. I've got something for you. Stay here." He put his guitar down and ran out of the room. I could hear his footsteps as he ran. He came back up and opened the door with a hand behind his back. He closed the door lightly. "I got you a rose." I replied "Awee.. You are so sweet! Thank you!" "Oh, and I have one more thing." He pulled his hand in front of him, holding a small box. He handed me the box and said "Open it." So I opened it, and it held a beautiful gold heart locket, engraved with the words "Forever and Always" inside a heart. I opened the locket and inside was a picture of us, kissing. "I-I'm..speechless."
I put the locket on. "You are the best boyfriend anyone could ever have!" He gripped my hips and pulled me close. Since I was short, I couldn't really reach him well, so I put my arms around his shoulder blades, holding him tight. I rested my head on his chest, and we just stood there, embracing. He said "You are my one and only. Nothing will ever change that." I gripped him tighter. Then he kissed me on my lips and I lightly dragged my tongue across his bottom lip. I knew this intrigued him, so I kept doing it, which made him want to keep kissing me.
"I love you so much, Dawson McCrary." "I love you to the moon and back a million times, Paige."
