The Help

I smiled and rested my hands on the side of his neck as I kissed him back softly. I reached over and locked the front door without breaking the kiss.

I slowly pulled away, and I looked into her eyes. "Im glad that youre feeling better." I said, rubbing her side gently.

I smiled and nodded. "Loads better.. How about you? Are you okay?" I asked, gently brushing his hair from his eyes.

"Im glad , love.." I said gently. And I glanced into her eyes and I nodded. "Im great." I said, kissing her forehead. "Come on, theres new movies on Netflix." I said, like a little child.

I smiled and let him lead me to the couch. I grabbed a blanket and threw it over us and I snuggled close to him as he started the movie.

We just snuggled and laughed together, this whole tv thing was great!
(I has an idea. A new one.)

((What?))

(What if he proposes?.. but then she says no.. and it goes from there?)

Yeah !!

(Sounds good!)

"Okay.. so.. I made a reservation for dinner tonight." I said, looking at her. "Sound good?" I asked.

I smiled and blushed, looking up at him. "That sounds great."

"Make sure to dress nice. I think its a fancy place." I said with a shrug.

I chuckled. "Alright." We watched the movie, and then I went up and got dressed in a nice black dress with matching heels and I curled my hair and put on some light makeup.

I got ready also, putting the ring in my pocket and I buttoned up the blue shirt, that matched my eyes perfectly. "Ready, babe?" I asked up the stairs.

I came downstairs and I smiled, taking his hand. "Yes.. You look amazing."

"Wow.. so do you." I said, kissing her sweetly and lovingly. Then I headed out to the car with her and we were on our way.

Once we got to the resturant and seated, I sipped my coke and I took a bite of the salad. "It's really nice here."

"Yes.. it is.." I said, smiling and looking around.. soon we ordered and got our food. We chatted, laughed till we cried, and soon we were done eating.. when we got up, I took her hand, and got on one knee.. pulling the box out..

My eyes widened, and I looked around, and noticed that everyone was watching and grinning, some people were even video taping. I slowly looked back down at Slade. "S-Slade.. What are you doing?"

Her question I ignored, and I smiled up at her.. "I know it.. hasnt been long since weve been dating.. ive known you for a long while Aurora.. youre such a good.. and beautiful person.. would you.. marry me? I want to spend my life with you..."

Tears filled my eyes and I stared down into his loving, hopeful eyes. "I... I don't think that's a good idea Slade." I whispered, a single tear rolling down my face. I heard a few people who were watching gasp.

My smile soon turned to a frown as the realization of the rejection hitting me like a train. "Oh.." was all I could say.. I slowly put the ring back in my pocket.. I was hurt.. so hurt.. I planned all of this out..

"I.. I just... We need more time... We're only 18.. I am so sorry..." I whispered, my heart literally shattering at the look on his face.

I refused to look at her.. maybe she was right.. but. That didnt stop me from feeling hurt.. I slowly turned and began to walk away. I needed my own time.. to get everything back together in my head..

I watched him leave, and I turned away from the onlookers, closing my eyes and taking a few deep, calming breaths. Will he want to be with me anymore? I took a cab back home and I debated wheather or not I should go in.

In the meantime I had returned the ring and I crashed on the couch, leaving the door unlocked incase shecame home.. I wasnt exactly mad at her, I was.. just hurt.

I finally walked in and locked the door, and I noticed him asleep on the couch. I grabbed the blanket and draped it over him, then I gently kissed his forehead. "I love you.." I whispered. I straightened up and went upstairs to bed.

I opened my eyes, watching as she walked away.. I slowly closed them again, and I went back to sleep.. never wanting to wake up. . . But the next morning I did. I sat up, and rubbed my eyes. What a crazy dream. Wait.. that really did happen. I did get rejected by the girl I loved.

I didn't want to go down and face him. I didn't want to see the hurt in his eyes. I laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling. Why did he jump to this?

I sat and thought for a while.. maybe it was too soon.. why am I such an idiot?! . . I was scared to lose her.. after my parents an previous friends.. I didnt want her to abandon me also. I was scared that she would get up and be gone any second.. especially after last night..

I finally got up and went out to the living room, bracing myself. I slowly sat on the couch next to him and I touched his shoulder. "Slade?" I whispered nervously. "Are you okay?"

I slowly sat up, and I kept looking down. "Im fine hon.." I said gently, taking her hand, and kissing it. "Dont worry about it okay?.." I said. I was having a whole internal debate and anxiety attack inside of me..

I watched him for a minute, squeezing his hand. "Look me in the eye and say that."

I looked into her eyes, and put on my best poker face, and smile.. "I'm fine. Okay?" I said gently, and I kissed her cheek gently before I stood..

I watched him, and I let go of his hand. "..Okay.." I whispered, grabbing the blanket and folding it up.

"You're.. still.. going to stay here.. right?" I asked her, the anxiety to much to not ignore at this point

I looked up at him, surprised. I slowly stood up. "Of course baby..." I gently hugged him. "Did you think that I'd leave?"

I slowly wrapped my arms around her. "Yeah.. I.. thought I would wake up to an empty home.." I said , honestly..

I pulled him closer and I looked up into his sad eyes. "You never will.. Okay? I love you, I really do." I gently touched his cheek, feeling very guilty.

I nodded slowly, and I closed my eyes and pressed my forehead to her neck gently.. "I love you too.." I whispered, hugging her to me..
