“thanks…” she said “…I don’t really know what to call it or anything, because I hate the term promise rings and stuff…”

“well…then how about I just wear it?” I asked her smirking

“that could work too…” she said simply then I handed her the box back “…you don’t want it?” she asked sad

“no…no I do, I just thought maybe you’d want to put it on me…” I told her then she took a sigh of relief and I held out my left hand and she put the ring on me

“I love it…” I told her “…and you, so much…”

“I love you too” she said pulling me into a kiss then we sat down in the sand and she was between my legs and I had my arms around her

“is it possible that I fall more in love with you everyday?” I asked her

“I don’t know…” she said “…but I feel the same way…”

“can I tell you something?” I asked her

“sure…” she said simply

“the first night I took you out…nine months ago, I didn’t plan on lasting this long…just because it’s my senior year, and I’m leaving for college soon, but you just became such an important and big part of my life so fast…and now I don’t know what I’d do without you…” I told her then she looked up at me

“the first night you took me out I honestly didn’t know what to think…” she said “…because you were the most popular girl in school, and I was just some junior on the soccer team and I didn’t even think you knew who I was…”

“yeah well sometimes the one thing you’ve been looking for is right in front of you the whole time and you don’t even know…”

“you think I was what you were looking for?” she asked

“well yeah I mean…for the first time in a long time I haven’t been worrying about every little part of my life, and I know we’ve been avoiding the conversation about what happens when I go to college in September, but I’m not even worried about it, because no matter what happens I know you’ll still be in my life…and I’d fight for that, whether we were together or not, because you’re my best friend…” I explained to her
