7 Finally Telling Her Why I Love Her

The next morning, Miranda had woken up before me as usual. As I started to wake up, I saw Miranda standing beside the bed getting dressed. "Good morning beautiful." I said to her, moving my body to her's, giving her a hug. "Good morning beautiful. How did you sleep?" she asked, hugging me back. "I slept amazing. How about you babe?" I replied as I sat up in the bed. "I slept good." she answered back. I got out of the bed, put my ripped jeans on, my hoodie, and put my converse on. I brushed my hair, brushed my teeth and walked back over to where Miranda was standing waiting for me. "Ready?" I asked, grabbing my dog tag necklace. "Ready for what?" Miranda asked. "We are going to a secret place, I wanna tell you something." I replied, taking her hand in mine. "Okay. Lets go." she replied back. We walked out to the living room, Mike and Justin were sitting on the couch watching a horror movie. "We will be back shortly boys. Don't do anything stupid Mike." I said, opening the door for Miranda. "Yeah, yeah. Have fun girls." Mike replied. Miranda and I walked out the door to my car. I opened her door, ran over to my side of the car and started the engine. We drove for a good 20 minutes before we reached the secret spot. I hope I don't make her upset when I tell her why I love her. I thought to myself as I continued to drive. Miranda was dancing as the radio played. "Okay babe, we're here." I said, turning the car off. "Wow babe! This place is so beautiful!" Miranda

replied, I opened my door, walked over to her side of my car and opened the door for her. "Yeah it is." I said, holding her hand. We walked over to the cherry blossom tree. I grabbed a blanket out of the car and laid the blanket on the grown for me and her to sit on. "So, what did you wanna tell me?" she asked, the face she gave me, she was so curious about that I wanted to talk about. "Well Miranda, I wanted to tell you why I love you." I replied, trying to hide the surprise I had planned for her. "Okay? Well tell me." she replied back. "Miranda the reason I love you is because you make my days brighter. You take the darkness away and you let me be myself instead of someone I'm not. Miranda, before I met you, I was a emo, sad, depressed, angry, gang member person who I didn't want to be, I hated myself for what Clarabella did to me. SHe changed me into someone I didn't want to be. After me and her had broken up, I felt so empty and alone. I thought is I had broken up with her I would have been free from the gang members and the depression, but it only came back more and more everyday. But when I met you I didn't feel lonely or depressed anymore, because you came into my life and brought the light and happiness back into me. Miranda I love you because you rocked my world! Last night when we did something amazing, that was the first time in my entire life that I could be happy and maybe start a family with someone I love so much! So Miranda, I

love you with everything in my body. That's what I wanted and needed to tell you Miranda, I love you Miranda." I said, turning my body to see her. When I rose my head, tears came from her eyes. "Oh my god Miranda I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make yu-" Miranda wrapped her arms around me, her tears falling off her face onto my hoodie. I wrapped my arms around her, more tears rolled down her cheeks. "Alex, you're the only girl that has ever made me feel the way you do." Miranda groaned, she raised her head from my hoodie, whipping away her tears with my finger. "Miranda I'm sorry for making you cry. I just needed to tell you why I love you." I replied, resting my hand on her cheek. "Alex I love you." Miranda whispered, her head still looking at the ground. "Miranda I love you too." I said back, lifting her head to mine. I kissed her soft lips, my hands beside her checks. I pulled back, grabbed her hand, and walked her to the car. I turned the car on and started to drive to the house. As we reached the house, my father's car was sitting outside in the driveway. "Miranda, stay behind me." I said, staring at the car in the driveway. Miranda looked at me, her eyes opened. "Okay." she replied. We got out of the car, Miranda holding my arm as she stand walking behind me. The front door was open, I pushed the door open to see what was going on. My mother and Luke were sitting on the couch, talking. "Mom, what's he doing here?" I asked, trying not to get mad. "Alex, he is

only here because of Clarabella." mother answered. I looked at her, my eyes opened wide. "What about her?" I asked again. Miranda still behind me. "Alex, she's in your room, Miranda can you ple-" "No she can stay with me." I said, cutting Luke off from what he was trying to say. "Okay." he replied. I looked at Miranda, holding her hand against my arm." Miranda please stay behind me." I said again. She nodded her head, still holding my arm tight. We walked to my room, the door cracked. "Hello Alex." Clarabella said, her voice higher with every word. "Hello Clarabella, what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to hide Miranda. "I told you Alex I want you." i stared at her for a few minutes. "Clarabella, I don't love you anymore. I love Miranda." I replied. Clarabella looked at me, she wasn't very pleased for what I said. "Oh well that's a shame. I see Miranda has taken my place." she said, walking towards me. "Clarabella stop." I asked, trying to cover Miranda with my body. "I can't, you see Alex, I'm not going to stop. Miranda doesn't deserve you, I do. Miranda is just your game." Clarabella said, trying to make me snap. "Clarabella that's not true! Miranda is not my game! She is my lover and so am I!" I said, holding Miranda towards the door. "Really now? Then show her the real you Alex." she was trying to make me snap, and it was working. I was going to loss it in front of Miranda. "No!" I screamed, pushing Miranda through the doorway. I slammed the door,

trying not to let Miranda see me. "Come on Alex, let your demon show!" Clarabella shouted. I covered my face, trying not to snap and let the ink control me. "Let that little witch see you!" she said again. I had snapped. Ink began to flow from my eyes and nose. My body changed, my eyes, changed, and I changed. Clarabella looked at me, her eyes opened with fear. Mike kicked the door open, his eyes opened. Justin grabbed Miranda, ran her to my car and drove off. Clarabella started to laugh, "That's my girl." she said, laughing as she talked. Mike still behind me, standing there. "Alex, please calm down." he said, his voice, calm and kind. I started to calm down, my body changed back. And I was calm again. "What just happened?" Mike asked, fear still in his eyes. "I don't know. It just happened when Clarabella made me mad." I said, looking down at my floor. My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach. I scared her. She's probably not going to stay with me now. I thought. My eyes started to water. Clarabella still standing in my room. "Wow, Alex Chino is crying. That's a first." she mocked. "This is all your fault! If you wouldn't have made me mad Miranda would have stayed!" I shouted. Tears seemed to come down my face more. "Oh boo hoo. She needed to leave anyways she was so annoying." she said once more. "Clarabella we are leaving." Luke said, coming in to save me. I think. "Fine. But just remember Alex, I'm going to come back every time." As Clarabella left my room,

tears came faster down the side of my face. I screwed up so bad! I said to myself. Justin and Miranda were still gone, and all I could think about was would she still love me after what she just saw? About an hour passed, I was still in my room, the door locked, and crying in the corner of my room. A knock came to my door. "Go Away!" I shouted so who ever it was could hear me. "Alex it's Miranda, please open the door." Hearing Miranda's voice again made my heart race. I unlocked my door, Miranda walked in her hands behind her back. "Miranda I'm so sorry! I didn't want you to see that. I understand if you don't want to be with a monster." I said, covering my face with my arms. She looked at me, her eyes starting to form tears. "Alex, I'm always going to love you. Nobody's perfect." Miranda walked over towards me, bending down on her knees. She lifted my head up with her hands. "Alex, promise me that will never happen again." she whispered. I looked at her, more tears seemed to come faster from my eyes. "I promise" I relied, my head against her chest. I felt her arms wrap around me, holding me close. As she held me ighter, the more tears to come out. Miranda began to rock me in her lap. Feeling her warm body and her arms around me, made me feel like I was home again, but with me and her alone. I started to close my eyes, my tears started to make my eyes heavy. I closed my eyes slightly, Miranda's arms still around me as I slept. I felt happy that I was with her.
