These characters are not mine, there Sarah Dessen's.

Owen's POV

Hearing about the jerk that rapped Annabel I wanted to beat him up so bad, he ruined her life, and she'll never be the same. Right? Even though I did end up punching him, I was grounded and Annabel didn't approve of my way of defending her. It's been over a few months and Annabel and I are growing stronger by the day. She's the one thing in my life I can't live without (weird how that sounded corny in a way). Graduating from high school was nice when I knew Annabel was by my side each step of the way. When I finally had the guts to ask her if we could live together her reply made me the happiest man on earth. With her lovely hair up in a nice bun, little bits of hair hanging falling loosely. She wore no make up, making her lovely feature popped out, she looked drop dead gorgeous.

Annabel's POV

When I woke up I waved my arms around the bed hoping to find Owen but all I felt was empty space. Opening my eyes I found nothing. Wandering down the stair I hoped to listen to Owen whistling but there was just silence.

Annabel,

Went out from something important, be right back.

Love,

Owen

Aww… how sweet he wrote love. I wonder what's so important. Waiting for Owen wouldn't be an option, so out of boredom I decided to clean for a change. Killing time I spent three hours cleaning the mess in the house! When I grew tired from cleaning I decided to take a shower and go to sleep, I dreamed about the day Owen asked me to own a house with him.

"Owen are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine" he nervously tapped the table.

When he wanted to go out to eat I didn't realize we were going to a fancy restaurant so when Owen came by he was dressed in a tux looking sexy, I eventually ran up and changed into a nice dress. We ended up at a nice Italian restaurant, where the prices were high and there was a nice dance floor where couples can dance. Thinking that maybe he didn't have a lot of money I ordered the cheapest thing on the menu.

Owen noticed because he told me that "money isn't the issue".

"Then why are you so nervous?"

"Well…because….umm"

"Cat got your tongue?"

"No, it's just that never mind… Do you want to dance?"

"Sure" I stood reaching for his hand. Reaching the dance floor he placed his hand on my hip and I put my hand on his shoulder, and we glided across the floor while old couples watched us. Resting my head against his shoulder I asked "So do you want to tell me what you're nervous about?"

"Well see here's the thing" he lifted my chin with his hand, causing me to look at his green/brown eyes. "We should sit back down so we can talk"

"Yeah okay" I nervously replied. Was he going to break up with me? No I don't think so.

"Here goes nothing…Annabel after knowing you for two years I think it's okay for us to be together at all times. Do you want to buy a house, for both of us to live in?" He asked holding his breath.

"Oh Owen, there's nothing to be afraid of, yes I'll move in with you! Oh Owen I love you and nothing is going to change that fact".

Hearing the faint sound of the door slam I got up and ran downstairs.

"Owen, your back!" I shouted jumping into his arms, wrapping my legs around his hips I gave him a big welcoming kiss.
