Unbelievable

Chapter 19

The next couple weeks were long and awkward. It turned out that when I punched Caylen, I had broken her nose, so for about 3 weeks she had black eyes and bruised cheeks. At times I did feel bad, but I had to admit it look good on her after all the shit she pulled over the years. Her and Kenzie were still going out but I knew she would eventally get bored. The rest of the boys and I talked alot and became good friends over those weeks. Kenzie didnt come around too much though.

Valentines day was on Friday and I wanted to get Noah something good. I spent Monday and Tuesday brain storming on what I could get him, then on Tuesday night it hit me.

The next morning Alex and I both had off classes so I asked him to come with me to the city to get Noah's gift. Alex volenteered to drive, "Good Morning!". "Morning Alex!" I said cheerfully, getting into his car. When we got to the city we went to the engraving store that does graphics. After about two hours I was done ordering a custume hockey helmet. It had his name, an image of his favorite car, his number, his hockey nickname and the date we met. I wasn't going to put that date but Alex convinced me he would like it. "I hope he likes it...". "He'll love it." Alex said smiling.

On thursday evening I went to pick up his gift and then I went to my favorite store to find an outfit. After about an hour I had decided on a short red dress. It had a frilly skirt and a halter style v neck. I also found a pair of black, wedge heel boots that came just below my knee.

We had Friday off and I woke up to my phone ringing, "Helloooo?" I said wiping a big string of drool from my face. Gross I know but I had a good sleep. "GO DOWNSTAIRS... OK BYE!" and the line went dead. "What the hell Noah?" I groaned flopping out of bed. When I got to the front door there were a couple of bags. and a huge bear. In the first bag was a pair of dangly earrings that matched the chain he gave me for christmas. The second bag contained a wrapped book. When I pulled the paper off, I found it was an album with a photo of us on the cover. On the inside cover was a note written in sharpy, "You are my best friend and one of the best things that has ever happened to me! I have filled a couple of pages already. I hope we can fill this with many more memories... P.S Happy early six months Dani, I love you...Noah".

There were photos from christmas, playing in the snow, hockey games and at the spot.

At around 7:30 I started to get ready. I took quick shower, curled my hair and did my make up. My hair was pinned up a little and I decided to wear the new earrings. Once I got dressed, I threw on a black coat and went down to wait for Noah. He came at 8. I got in and wrapped my arms around his neck, "Thank you so much for my gifts, I love them!....Here open your's!" I said handing him the bag. Noah pulled it out of the bag and his eyes lit up, "Oh My God .... I love it Dani!!!".

We went to a fancy restraunt in the city. It could have been any where, I didn't care if it was left overs from his house, I was just glad to be with Noah. When he took his jacket off, he was wearing a blue plaid flannel.  When I took off my jacket, Noah froze, "Noah?....Noah?". "Oh ...Ya Dani?", he said snapping out of it. I couldn't help but giggle. "You're just so beautiful.." he said blushing.

When we were waiting for the bill, Noah handed me a box, "What's this for? You already gave me my gifts..". "No those were just things that I wanted you to have...". I opened the box and saw it, a gold bracelet, "Oh Noah...You didn't have too...". "I wanted too.." Noah said putting it on my wrist.

It never mattered to me if Noah got me things because I just loved being with him. I got him things because I loved to see his face lite up. After supper we walked down the board walk. Noah held my cold hand and we talked the entire time. Once we got back to my house he walked me to my door. "Thanks for everything, Noah..". "You're welcome but thank you for everything! Tonight and every day in the past.." Noah said hugging me tightly. I felt absolute bliss.

The next couple days I wondered if Noah would ask me to go to his prom with him. Then on Monday when I was walking with Alex, I became worried. "So did Noah ask you to prom yet?" he said jokingly elbowing me in the ribs. "No.." I frowned. Alex got quiet for a moment then continued, "Oh well I'm sure he will soon!". The week was almost over when I got a knock on my door one day after school. I ran down stairs and opened the door. There was a big bouquet of roses laying on the front step, I picked them up and read the card. "I love you SOO much ! Look up..", as I read it I looked up as instructed. In front of my house was Noah's car with him standing on the roof. He was holding a sign, it read "PROM????". As I set the flowers down and approached him he jumped down. "Sooo?". I nodded as I covered my mouth with my cupped hands before crying. Noah hugged me and whispered, "Can't wait Dani..".
