Chapter 1: "I Love You"

Sabrina is a regular 19 year old teenage girl who has been through break ups, deaths, boyfriends, and plenty of drama. She lost her parents in a car crash when she was 11 years old. She was in the car also, but she was rescued by someone. She couldn't really see his face because it was pitch black out. Only his magnificent, blue eyes stood out in the dark. Sabrina doesn't remember anything in between then and when she woke up in the hospital. She remembered waking up and seeing her aunt crying on her uncle's shoulder. She asked what was wrong and her uncle just looked at her with sadness in his already weary eyes. Once her aunt had calmed down, she told her the terrible news and she felt like her life was being sucked right out of her. She stayed with her aunt and uncle until she was old enough to move out and live on her own. This is her story…

8 years later

'Wake me up before you go-go…'

Sabrina sighed and slowly opened her eyes but then immediately closed them when she was greeted by the bright sun.

'I don't want to miss it when you hit that high…'

She leaned up in bed and rubbed her eyes, while trying to find the off button on her radio. She turned it off and pulled the blanket off. She stumbled out of bed and walked to her closet. She leaned against the door frame and sighed. Today was her official last day of high school and she wanted to make a last, good impression on her last day.

She pulled out a simple lilac sundress and put it up against her. She walked in front of her mirror and moved from side to side before deciding to wear it. She grabbed her white wedges and put in dangling earrings. She straightened her hair and put in her flower headband. Sabrina walked gracefully into her bathroom and put a little foundation on and blush. She added some mascara and lip gloss and walked out of the bathroom to her kitchen. She grabbed a strawberry yogurt for breakfast, grabbed her keys and purse, and walked out the door.

She climbed into her truck and started it up. She backed out of her driveway after she finished her yogurt and drove to school. She lived about 10 minutes away but it seemed to take forever to get there. Once she saw the big tower above the trees, she sighed and swerved into the parking lot. She checked her clock and saw that it was 11 on the dot. She smiled to herself, grabbed her purse and keys, and stumbled out, accidentally slamming the door behind her. She winced and checked for any damage before entering the school. When she saw no dent or scratch, she sighed and walked into the building.

She walked down the familiar, lunchroom hallway and let her mind drift back to all the good times she had in the lunchroom. She laughed quietly to herself and walked into the noisy cafeteria and immediately began her search for Justin. She scanned the jam packed room and soon felt like giving up until she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and lips kissing the side of her face. She smiled and turned around so she was facing him.

"I was looking all over for you. Where were you?" Sabrina asked wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Gone looking for you," Justin relied brushing a strand of hair away from her face. Justin smiled when she blushed and kissed her forehead. "I love you so much and you have no idea how much I'm going to miss your smiling face and just all of you."

Sabrina smiled and gave him a hug, laying her head on his chest. "I love you soooo much and I do know. I'll miss seeing you every day in school and the kisses before, during, and after we spend time with each other."

They stayed like that for a couple a minutes until they heard someone keep coughing behind them. They stopped hugging and looked to see Mackenzie, Delilah, Monica, and Massie standing with their arms crossed, smiling. "Hey you lovely couple! What are you going to do?" Massie asked grabbing one of the chairs and sitting down.

Sabrina turned around to see Justin sitting down and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she relaxed. She leaned against his chest and looked up at him. "We talked about him coming with me, but his parents want him to go to college and worry about girls later in life," Sabrina said. "I told him I wanted him to respect his parents' wishes and go to college, but he won't listen."

"I'm not going to let you leave me here in Michigan while you move to Nevada all alone," Justin said stubbornly. Sabrina sighed.

"I know. I don't want to leave you here. I really want to bring you with me and have you all for myself, but your mom needs you right now and you need to be there for her when she goes through cancer," Sabrina pleaded. "I want you to spend time with your parents as much as you can okay? For me."

Justin starred into her eyes but then sighed. "You're right. But I'm going to miss you and as much as this hurts to say, I will still love you even if you find another guy."

"You will always be my guy and the first guy who I truly loved okay? I love you." They heard someone sniffling and turned to see Delilah crying. "Oh Delilah, it's going to be okay," Sabrina said getting up and giving her a hug.

"I know, but I'm not crying about that right now. I'm crying because that was so beautiful!" Delilah said giving her a hug back.

Sabrina chuckled and let go, walking back to sit on Justin's lap. "Question, why are you going to Nevada? Monica asked.

"When I was told that my other Aunt, Aunt Alexis, had died and had left me this truck, which I drive now, I also got a letter from her saying that it was important for me to go to Nevada, so she left me this address.

"I tried looking it up, but it showed this old base. I don't know what it is so I'm going to see."

Monica raised an eyebrow. "Really? That's kind of cool. It's like an adventure! Did the note say anything else?"

"Yep. It said they will protect you and you will know the truth."

"Okay, that's weird just saying," Massie said. Sabrina laughed and then sighed. It grew quiet, except for the loud chattering of the seniors around them; until the bell rang signaling for them to leave for the 'Day-In-The-Park'. They all smiled at each other and quickly followed the crowd out into the parking lot. "Can I ride with you? I had to walk to school because my car's broken!" Mackenzie asked. "Me as well!" Massie shouted. Sabrina turned to her boyfriend. "You want a ride too or are you going to meet us there?"

Justin chuckled. "I'll meet you there love." He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and rushed to his car. "Hurry you guys! We have to beat Justin!" Sabrina shouted to her friends that were riding along. They all rushed into her truck and Sabrina almost screamed in terror when she saw Shelby already in her truck.

"Oh my god! You scared me! I thought you drove here?" Sabrina said calming down before backing out and driving off.

"Nope! Parents gave me a ride because they wanted to take pictures," Shelby said rolling down her window. They all followed Shelby and rolled down there windows, feeling the cool breeze brush through their hair. It was a quiet trip down to the park, but then Shelby broke the silence.

"So, what are you and Justin going to do before you leave in two days?" She said looking at Sabrina with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, I'm not sure. We…Whoa! Hold on! I don't think so," Sabrina said shaking her head.

"What? What do you mean?" Monica asked confused. Mackenzie whispered in her ear and she immediately understood. "Oh."

"Come on Sabrina! You two have been dating for like 3 and ½ years! You are ready to do this!" Shelby said.

"So! Just because we dated for 3 years doesn't mean I'm ready to have sex with him. I'm saving that for marriage. End of story!" Sabrina huffed. Once again, it was a quiet ride there until they reached the park.

"Oh look! We're here!" Massie said a little nervous. Mackenzie and Massie quickly got out once Sabrina had found a parking spot.

"Sabrina, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset," Shelby said.

Sabrina smiled and reached over to give her a hug. "It's okay. To be honest, I have been thinking about it. Sorry for getting all upset. It just took me by surprise."

"I guess I should have talked to you about that somewhere more private," Shelby said hugging her tighter before letting her go. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's have some fun!" Sabrina smiled and they both rushed out of the truck to the party.

Sabrina laughed with her friends as they danced to Dirty Dancer by Enrique. She was dancing with her friend Tanya until she saw Justin step in and take her away. Tanya smiled and began to dance with some other friends. "I finally get a chance to dance with you," Justin said taking her farther away from the party. Sabrina smiled and looked at her surroundings.

"Where are we going?" she asked as the music got quieter and quieter until she couldn't hear anything except for crickets.

"I thought we both deserved some time to ourselves before you get too busy packing," Justin said kissing her on the forehead. Sabrina smiled "I'm going to miss you so much."

Justin smiled and wrapped his arms around her giving her a big hug. She hugged back and wanted him to never let her go. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back and kissed her. This kiss was different. It was more urgent than the others and it made her a little nervous. He stopped kissing her and looked at her confused and worried. "Is there something wrong? Did I do something?" Sabrina shook her head. "No, I'm just wondering if we were going to take this relationship further."

"Oh, do you want to take this further? I only will if you want to," Justin said. Sabrina thought for a minute then shook her head. "No, I'd rather wait you know."

Justin smiled. "I understand and I agree, I would rather wait also. Besides, usually good relationships wait until they're both definitely ready and married."

Justin kissed her once again, but this time neither of them wanted to say good bye.
