True Loves Challenge

Chapter 9

Rosie's POV

One year ago

The first part of the dream

"Hey, what you looking at?" asked Matthew after he hooded me. Of course, like always, I hit him. It's now just a reflex.

"Nothing much really... just..."

"Andrew?" asked Matthew looking in the direction of Andrew whom I so happened to be staring at...

"Maybe, why is there a problem with that?" I asked Matthew who looked a little mad at Andrew.

"No." He walked away. I pushed aside my curiosity and decided to walk up to Andrew. What am I gonna say? What will he say? Well, if words fail, let's hope he'll understand.

I'm getting closer. But then I stop. Andrew is talking to Judy. Why Judy? She ruins everything for me. I start to walk away but someone stopped me.

"Wait!" Andrew grabbed my wrist. I turned to see him looking at me sadly. "Don't leave this time."

Oh yeah... by the way... I have been on my way to talk to him many times but failed to see a girl talking to him. It breaks my heart every time.

"What do you want?" I asked with sadness in my voice.

"Please don't think those girls will change the fact that you can still talk to me." His hand moved to my hand instead on my wrist. He squeezes my hand in sign that he is trying to tell me something. My eyes go wide. Does he like me?

I lose his grip. "I know, I was just heading to class."

Andrew gives a confused look. "Isn't your next class that way?" asked Andrew pointing in the opposite way I was heading towards.

"Oh... Yeah..." I started to head to my next class. But yet again, Andrew stops me by grabbing my arm. "What is it?" I said a little too loud.

Andrew let's go of me this time. Then, I see a tear fall down his face. "I just can't lose you."

I stood there shocked. He doesn't want to lose me? What does he mean? Does he think that I am going to walk out of his life? I grab his hand. He looks up at me.

Andrew caressed my cheek. We start to lean into each other. I am as scared as crap right now... this is going to my first kiss. But I am so glad that it is with Andrew. He has been my crush for almost one year now. And yes, it did take a while to get over Matthew... But now, I am over him and I am with Andrew. That is a good thing.

Eventually, our lips crash together. It is long. I never thought that kisses would be this different... I wonder if I am just wishing Andrew was someone else... No! Andrew is the one I want, right?

Two months later

"Rosie! You have to go with me! I promise it will be so much fun!" said Andrew through the phone. Andrew is trying to invite me to a party. I hate going to parties because I am the only one that is not drinking and everyone else is running around drunk. I hate that. So, I never really go to parties. Andrew is one of those people that love to go to parties and laugh at people. And sometimes get drunk. Yeah, Andrew isn't really LDS... but when he isn't drunk, he is really fun to be around. I like him a lot.

"Andrew, I just don't want to go to those kinds of parties. When I go, everyone there gets drunk except me" I said.

"Oh! Come on! It will be fun! I promise, I won't have one drink! I will only drink coke."

"You promise?"

"I promise, cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye!"

"Okay, fine! I'll go. But only for you!"
