Alysha's P.O.V

We silently walked over to a large tree in the middle of the park. I had to retrain myself from looking at Vic every two seconds, just to see if he was looking at me. I felt like a school girl who had just found out her crush likes her back. I sat down in the cool grass, and moved strands of my hair out of my face that the wind had blown in my vision. "You look great." Vic said, breaking the silence. "Thanks. So do you." I replied, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks. He barely even gave me an actual compliment and I'm blushing like crazy.

But then there it was again. Another antaginizing moment of silence. "Ally." Vic whispered. I glanced up at him to find him staring off into the distance. "Yeah?" I replied. "I need to tell you something." He spoke after a few seconds of silence.

He finally looked over at me, and I gave him a confused look, asking him to continue. "I should've told you this already, but I didn't know how you would react. Ever since we broke up that day more than a year ago, I couldn't get you off my mind. I don't know what it was, but every girl that tried to make a move on me, I thought of you. Everything reminded me of you, and everything still does. I still love you Ally, and I don't want to scare you away but I didn't want to keep that in any longer." He finished, not breaking eye contact with me.

I stared long and hard at his big brown eyes, which were now glazed over. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words didn't come out. "I didn't expect you to say anything back." He sighed, shaking his head. "Vic, I now I still have something I'm feeling for you too. I just need a while to figure out how to deal with these feelings." I admitted, placing my hand on his. His eyes looked back into mine, and I could see the pain behind them. "This is going to be really weird, but could we umm kiss one more time?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck.

My breathe got stuck in my lungs and my heart skipped a beat or two. "You know, just to see what your feelings are for me." He added. I thought about his offer for a minute. Maybe it would give me some closure as to how I feel about him. I slowly nodded my head in agreement to his offer. I saw his lips twitch into a smile, but it only lasted a few seconds.

I felt awkward about this whole situation. How would we even begin? My questions were answered as I felt his hand cup the side of my face. I scooted closer to him, and leaned in. I felt his lips graze over mine before they slowly connected. His hands moved from the sides of my face to my hips as he pulled me closer to him. I slowly pulled away and rested my forehead on his. Our eyes met and he cracked a small smile. "So?" He asked.

I smiled back at him before reattaching our lips. He pulled me on to his lap and I wrapped my legs around his waist. I was now sure of my feelings for Vic. I knew I still loved him too.

His hands rested on the small of my back, and pulled me closer to him. This felt so right, being here with Vic. We pulled away due to lack of air, and a big smile spread across my face. "I've been waiting to do that, ever since I saw you at your house." He breathed out, still catching his breath. All I could do was nod in agreement. I was too shocked to even spreak right now. I was in total bliss. "Ally, I don't want to let you go." He laughed dryly, tracing circles in my back with his thumb. "I don't want you to." I repllied, looking into hs eyes.

There was a moment of silence before Vic spoke up again. "What are we?" He asked. I moved myself off of his lap and sat on the ground next to him. "I'm not sure. Whatever you want us to be." I whispered, resting my head on his shoulder. "Why'd you leave last time?" He asked, hurt laced in his voice. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I knew that if we ever met again he would ask me this. It's not that I didn't want to answer him. It was just hard for me to believe that I used to be that way. Depressed, and stupid.

"I was going through some things with myself, and I shouldn't have taken it out on you. I was pathetic and thought nobody cared about me. My mind wanted to believe that you didn't care. So my heart did too." I said, shaking my head. I felt a fresh tear slide down my cheek. Vic lifted my head up to look at him with my chin using his thumb. "Stop crying darling." He whispered, wiping the tear away. I gave him a small smile, and watching as he leaned in to kiss me again.

This time it was only a peck, but it felt like much more than that to me. "You probably guessed that I want to be with you again, but I want to ask you in the right way." He said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "As long as it takes, because you probably guessed that I want to be with you again too." I giggled, wiping away another tear. Vic smiled widely down at me. "Really?!" He asked, his eyes gleaming with excitement. I laughed lightly and nodded my head.

Suddenly he jumped up off the ground, and he took me with him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me into a tight hug before picking me up and spinning me around. I loved the familiar feeling of being wrapped up in his arms. I felt right at home. "I missed you Ally." He whispered as he set me back onto the ground. "I missed you too." I replied, burying my face into the crook of his neck.
