It's been three years since i left new york to get away from the superhero life. But before I get into that, you should know my side of the story.

Dave says that I left new york to get away from the cops. What he did not tell you, He came with me. Dave wouldn't be able to handle keeping his dads house since he was only 18 at the time along with having no parents or any family, his friends offered him a place to stay but he wanted to stay with me being the closest thing to family. it's been three years and i'm 18 now and hes 21. we sometimes go out and take care of a couple of druggies, It's mostly because it's the only way we can afford to stay in our house.

"Dave!" said Mindi "come on! We're going to be late!"

"I'm coming! bow ties are harder than they look!" Dave yelled from across the house

Dave and I had actually started dating not too long after we left but surprisingly this was going to be our first date, after my bad experience with brooke I vowed to never date someone I hadn't known long enough

"I'm really nervous Dave." Said mindi looking into her mirror

"there is no reason to be I can assure you that i'm not going to ditch you for some bitch like Brooke." Said Dave walking behind to mindi

"Promise?"

"Cross my heart. Hope to die" Dave said placing his hands on her hips

"So where are going in the first place?" Said Mindi walking out the door

"It's a surprise, thats why you need to wear this." Said Dave holing out a blindfold

I looked at it confused but put it on anyways

"Wait how am I going to drive with my eyes covered?!" Said Mindi waving her arms around searching for her motorcycle

"You won't have to." Said Dave grabbing her hands "Watch your step"

"Where are we going?!" Mindi said with a giggle in her voice as she stepped into the vehicle

The ride was only about 20 minutes long but it felt like a year!

"Ok we're here" Said dave taking Mindi's hand

"can I take off the blindfold?" said Mindi putting her hand up

"you can now" Said Dave

I can remember taking it off like it was yesterday. When I took that blindfold off it revealed the most beautiful pavilion complete with a table and flowers everywhere.

"Dave I don't know what to say." Mindi said walking to the table

"Happy birthday Mindi" Said Dave

"Is this what you have been doing for the past month?" Said Mindi turning around

"Well it might have been…" Said Dave gesturing Mindi to sit down "Come on you're going to love your dinner."

I walked over and sat down. at that moment I realized that i'm never going to find anyone who could care for me as much as Dave….And I want that to never change, because i'm perfectly happy the way I am now

"Dave?" Said Mindi looking up from her plate

"Yes?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Mindi When you walked into my school I realized that marcus would be able to protect you from all the dangers in the school and not the bullies. I'm talking about the pain that high school can cause you and the rumors, so I made it my goal to make sure no one would ever hurt such a beautiful woman like you and the more time i spent the more I realized how much I wanted to be with you and I saw how hurt you were after Brooke did that to you and I was determined to make you first real date the one you would remember for the rest of your life" Said dave placing his hands onto her's

When I heard him say that I couldn't help but tear up, No one has ever said anything like that to me.

"Dave I-" said Mindi as she was cut off by the sounds of dishes falling in the kitchen

I was terrified thinking that this date was ruined but.
