Hello, loves. Yes, I know, another chapter so soon? Yeah, well I'm awesome like that.

Those who didn't, SHAME. *Slaps hand with a wooden Ruler*. Those who did, *imaginary Edward gives you all kisses* :)

Hopefully I'll make a good plot:P And, thanks, I like the names too:) And, NO WORRIES. It's all good in the hood, I know how busy life can be sometimes, trust me. :)

"And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day."

What is love?
I have been asking myself this question since yesterday. I went to school, got to see Collin, which made my heart swell. Allie Smith was a bitch about it, no surprise there. Oh, well. Her face was priceless, so I guess it was worth it. It was hard for me to say goodbye to Collin at the end of the day, but the tomorrow was Friday, which meant the weekend, which meant more time with Collin. I talked to Zoe about my feelings. She said to just come out and say it. The worst he can say is he doesn't love me back. But, that thought scared the crap out of me.
After school, Collin and I were going to go to the park. I couldn't stay still through any of my classes, the worries of whether I should tell him or not. I mean, could I? Could I really?
The bell rang, and I sluggishly packed up my bag, and trudged out into the hallway, and made my way to the door, almost shaking with anxiety. I fidgeted nervously in the lot waiting for Collin. Should I tell him?
"Hey!" Collin said from behind me. I smiled nervously at him, and he returned the nervous smile. What would he be nervous about? We started walking the short way to the park, and he grasped my hand tightly in his own. I breathed in and out deeply, and bit the inside skin of my bottom lip.
What would he say? Am I really in love? I think I am, I mean he occupies most of my thoughts, and when I'm with him, I feel light, and free. I can be myself around him. No worries about putting on facades around him. I got this feeling, like butterflies fluttering around, or popcorn popping in my stomach. It gave me goose bumps knowing he was my boyfriend.
Is it the first relationship jitters? Who knows. When we got to the park, we walked hand in hand towards the swings. I plopped down on one, and Collin followed in suit, sitting in the one next to me, intertwining our fingers.
"Bree."
"Collin, I think I should tell you something." We said at the same time. I giggled nervously, and he grinned, with a hint of anxiety?
"You go first." he said, and I shook me head.
"No, you." I said. He sighed, and ran his hand through his hair.
"Bree…I know we just met each other, and we have only been dating for a couple of days, but every second I spend with you, is just…the highlight of my day. The more and more I get to know you, the more I fall in love with you. Bree…I think I love you." he said, all in one breath. When he finished, he looked at me intensely, breathing hard from the long sentence. My face broke into a grin.
"You took the words right out of my mouth." I said, my eyes welling up.
"Wait! No, no, don't cry." he said hushed, and cupped my face. I looked up at him.
"I'm just…so relieved. I was afraid you wouldn't…love me back. I guess the relief is overwhelming me." I whispered, wiping at my eyes. Collin stared at me.
"Who doesn't love you? I mean, everyone you meet falls in love with you like that." he said, snapping his fingers. I rolled my eyes.
"Well, all I know is that I love you too, and I'm glad that you know now." I said, and his eyes softened. He leaned over slowly, and lightly touched his lips against mine. Tingles went up my arms, and I shivered lightly. I tangled my hands in his soft hair, and pulled him closer to me.
Before I knew what happened, we were on the park's mulch ground. I pulled away laughing, and Collin was too. Apparently, I got a bit too excited, causing us to fall off our swings. I pushed myself up, and brushed the mulch off my back and bottom. Collin mimicked me, and I hugged him, nuzzling my head into his chest. He softly played with my hair, and I squeezed him tighter.
"I love you." he whispered. I shivered, and I looked up at him.
"I love you too." I grinned. With him being almost six feet tall, he was towering over me with a goofy grin on his face. I giggled, and we walked over to the merry-go-round. I jumped on top, and he started spinning me. I was giggling, and he jumped on it once he got it going really fast. I was giggling, and when it finally slowed down, I felt really dizzy. I laid down flat on the merry-go-round, and I was soon cradled in Collin's arms. He was laughing too, and I snuggled into him closer.
Is this how it feels being in love? If so, I really like it. It feels even better that the person I love, loves me back. To feel the security of their strong arms around you, and their hands running through your hair. To feel safe and loved is probably the best feelings you can feel in a relationship, and I have them. Most of my life, I have always felt like I have been dealt the wrong hand, and I never had the side with the greener grass. However, sitting on the merry-go-round in Collin's arms, I felt lucky.
We could have been lying there for eternity, yet it felt like mere minutes. Every once in a while, our eyes would meet, and we would both get these goofy grins on our faces. I'm sure to other people it would be a Kodak moment, only we were to dazed to notice. This is one of those days, that when people talk about the days they wish they could relive over and over again, soon, I will be wishing that I could relive this day. This will always be the day I remember that I learned what love really is. Not guess, or assume, but know.
I found out that my new favorite hobby is probably playing with Collin's hair. It was so soft, and shiny, it could occupy me for hours. Collin liked to play with mine too, and when he ran his hands through it, it made me shiver at the sensation. Collin was telling me childhood stories, and he sounded so adorable.
"You have to show your photo albums." I said, and he laughed.
"Okay, anytime." he said, and I kissed his (very prominent, and amazingly sharp) jawbone. He closed his eyes, and ran his hand up my waist.
"Isn't it amazing how we found each other so young?" I asked him. He nodded.
"I wonder that too. Fate must love us enough to let us meet each other early." he said, and I grinned. He jumped up off the merry-go-round, surprising me, and ran over to the slide.
"Look at me!" he said, and swirled down the spiral slide. I chuckled, and when he got off, he walked back over to me. I patted his head, and ran up the little stairs, and onto the wobbly bridge. He started chasing me, and I giggled. I went across the monkey bars to the other side, and slid down the tube slide, only to see him at the bottom. I shrieked in surprise, and he pulled me out of the slide, and kissed me roughly. I smiled against his lips, and pulled away.
"You caught me." I said. He grinned.
"Always." he told me, brushing my hair back to kiss me again.

Being with Bree…I don't know. I can't help but love her. I know it seems way too early, but how could I help it?
Her laugh, her smile, the way her soft hair blows in the wind, and how smart she is. Every single detail about her makes me even more interested. She was like a puzzle you could never finish, though you were obsessed with trying to complete it. To make it even better, she loves me back. How unbelievable it sounds, she does. All I want to do is hold her, and whisper my love to her all day. Does that sound weird for a fifteen year old boy to say? Hopefully not, because that is how I truly feel. Not think, but know. I know I love Bree, I want her to be safe, happy, and with me. I want to make her smile; make her laugh. I want to be the cause of her happiness. Knowing that I caused that beautiful smile to grace her face, makes me love her even more. I feel like she completes me in a foreign way, and I like it.
Mom and dad probably think it's 'puppy love', but I know that I want to be with Bree for the rest of my life. That no matter what, I want to be with her, through thick and thin, I want her to be mine.
Just now, the wind blowing through her hair; her giggling in amusement. It makes me want to be with her forever. I never knew my heart could have the capacity to love someone as much as I love Bree, and I feel kind of like the 'Grinch'. You know, at the end of the movie, his heart grows two sizes or some crap. I feel like my heart is as big as the friggin sun. I used to be so selfish, not caring much about others, but now, I don't care what happens to me, as long as Bree is safe, and happy, it doesn't matter.
Hey Guys! Did you like it? Well, I tried to mature their attitudes this chapter, now that they are in love, and all. Hopefully you liked it. I'm trying to make my writing improve too, so pointers are appreciated. :)
