Chapter One: Fabian's POV: If Only

Only Mick and Mara were surprised to see her. I looked over at her, and then back to Nina.

Nina was across the room talking to Amber. Where's Alfie? I thought.

I was scared to look at Joy.

Terrified that if I looked at Joy a little too friendly, that I would loose her.

But, I knew that good things don't last forever, so I smiled and waved at Joy.

I looked back over at Nina. She stared back at me.

Nina isn't the type to get jealous, and Joy doesn't seem like a threat to Nina, but I could be mistaken.

After all, I was for the past term about Nina.

But, I know that my heart belongs to Nina, and I pray that Nina knows this as well.

Because if she doesn't, I might loose her forever.

And, I don't want to loose her, because she is perfect in every single way.

Only, she doesn't believe that.

She hates her laugh.

Which I love, it always makes me laugh as well.

She hates how she always blushes.

But, I love that. It makes me blush, too..

She hates the fact that she's the chosen one.

And, I love it. She always has a mystery about her.

She hates how much she loves me.

And I love that. She's afraid to fall too quickly.

But, she has no reason to be afraid.

Because, I'll be there to catch her.

But, now I look at Nina.

Her beautiful eyes staring back.

And I think, Wow, she's beautiful, she's amazing, she's smart, she's mine.

And then I remember why she's looking at me.
