Chapter 21

"CHRISTY??" I heard Nick yell. "AJ ISN'T COMING HOME TONIGHT, HE AND AMANDA ARE GONNA BE AT THE CLUB FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT, SO I'M STAYING HERE WITH YOU OKAY??" I knew he wasn't expecting an answer so I didn't. I had been in my room for a couple hours trying to figure things out. I think I finally have too, so I'm going to go talk to Nick now.

I softly opened my door and walked out. My bare feet making the carpeted floor creak a little. I walked to the top of the staircase where I saw Nick sitting, his back to me, and his head in his hands.

"Nick?" I called softly. He reached his hand out for me. I took his offered gesture and we walked together to the living room. He sat on the couch and motioned for me to sit by him, I did. Then he pulled me close to him, I rested my head on his chest and we started talking.

We talked about everything. Our feelings for each other, how long we had been feeling that way, and many, many other things. He told me he accidentally read my journal, I guess that it upset me a little but if you really think about it my journal did me a favor. Never in a million years would I come right out and tell Nick that I was in love with him, NEVER, and my journal did it for me.

"Christy?" I heard Nick say

"Yeah?" I asked softly, near sleep.

"Would you be my girlfriend?"

"I'd be honored Nick."

"I love you." He said softly.

"I love you to Nick, I really do." I said. He leaned down and kissed me again. Then Nick fell asleep, right as the radio started to play a song that I would remember forever and always-

You set my soul at ease
Chased the darkness out of view
Left your desperate spell on me
Say you feel it to
I know you do
I've got so much more to give
This can't die, I yearn to live
Pour yourself all over me
And I'll cherish ever night
Here on my knees

I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cause from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I'm gonna love you forever.

My mind fails to understand
What my heart tells me to do
And give up all I have just to be with you
And that would do
I have always been taught to win
And I never thought I'd fall
Be at the mercy of a man
I've never been
Now I only want to be right where you are
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cause from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I'm gonna love you forever.

In my life I've learned that heaven never waits
Lets take this now before it's gone like yesterday
Cause when I'm with you there's no where else.
That I would ever wanna be…no
I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you
Loving me….I'm gonna

I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do?
Cause from the moment that I saw your face
And felt the fire in your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I'm gonna love you forever.

…Forever and ever

"That was Jessica Simpson with 'I wanna love you forever'" the DJ announced, "For all of us tonight that have found the one that we wanna love forever." Then I fell asleep, content, in the arms of the man I knew I wanted to love forever.
