Wade looked into Allison's eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek. "What's the matter honey?" Wade whispered while taking his thumb and gently erasing the noticeable sadness. "I'm so glad you're out!" And she flung her small arms around his neck as they stood outside the juvenile jail. "I told you I'd be out!" Wade laughed while rocking her back in forth for she was standing on his toes. When Allison pulled away he took her face in his big palms and kissed her for what seemed like an eternity.
"Allison" Wade said while taking her hand and guiding her into the shadows. "I have a question for you," he trailed off, "and I want you to know this before I ask it". Allison stood wide eyed but still unsure if this was some kind of joke. "When we sat there in those chairs getting our shots for school, that was the first time that I really noticed you. And I feel horrible for waiting this long. I love you so much. I feel, better, now that I have seen you and that we have been together. Something has changed in me. I want to … I want to go deeper into yo- I mean … I want our relationship to continue and I want to go deeper into this relationship with you. You're amazing and I really just wanted to know, " Wade said but trailed off, "I wanted to know if you wanted to," he trailed off again while getting uneasy.
He got down on one knee. "I got nothin' but would you marry me?" Wade smiled his arms open revealing the same old white T-shirt and leather jacket. Allison gasped and almost fell back to hit her head on a tree branch. She nodded while crying again. Wade ran into her arms and picked her up to only twirl her. He kissed her and kissed her and kissed her. They stood for the longest time in silence and stared into each other's eyes. "We'll wait till graduation," he said, "and then you'll be wearin' that dress!"
