Hey you guys, sorry for not updating in so long, I was expecting people to actually give me ideas about this chapter, I just got one, thank you by the way. I'm sorry if it's horrible, but I think I had a massive writers block. I was planning on putting this chapter and the next together but the mood is completely different so I didn't put it together.

I saw Breaking Dawn, not bad... I used to love twilight (used to),I expected the movie to be crappy as the others, admit it, all the movies were awful, they did no justice to the books. It was disgusting (the birth sceene), I have to admit that I laughed in some parts because it was inevitable but the movie was pretty good! I really want to see the last one.
Talking about stuff that I can't wait for, the last Maximum Ride book! I have to admit I haven't read ANGEL because I'm still depressed because Fang left, so I'm reading it as soon as I get Nevermore, which is like in a year (August 1st). Funny thing is that I have ANGEL in my room's bookshelf, untouched.
So I'll be suffering to read both those books for a whole year…

Anyways, here is the story! Hope you like it.
No, I don't own anything.

Enjoy!


Chapter Seven: Everlasting Love

Fang smiled to himself as he stopped the car, obviously nervous. I looked at him and smiled too, he was so cute when he got nervous. He looked at me, a loving look in his eyes.

"Ready?"

I nodded and we both got out of the car. Fang met me outside my door and grabbed my hand, pulling me forward, towards a very familiar restaurant. It was my favorite restaurant in the whole world. Fang's parents and my parents knew the owners so we usually got "special treatment". I noticed that it wasn't as cold as I thought it would be, it was actually quite pleasant

"Have I mentioned how unbelievably beautiful you look tonight?" I blushed at his words, looking down at our feet and a smile forming on my lips.

Fang chuckled as he opened the door for me and I walked in. I was already walking towards an empty table until Fang grabbed my elbow and whispered in my ear.

"Not here." He said sweetly, leading me to the back of the restaurant.

We walked through the full restaurant, until an old, elegant, wooden door appeared in front of us. He pushed it open and I gasped at what was inside. The moment the door closed the noise from outside was muted and it felt like Fang and I were the only ones there. It was beautiful. It was a circular outside room. It had no roof, but it had walls. They were full of green ivy, some flowers popping here and there making it look beautiful. The floor looked old and elegant, made out of unpolished stone. In the middle there was a beautifully decorated table with flowers, candles, and a lot of my favorite food.

There was also a fireplace next to the table which made the room cozy and impeded it to get cold. Fang walked over to the table and pushed a chair out. I walked over to it, smiled at him, and sat down. Fang pushed me until I was close enough to the table. He walked over to his chair and sat down, a big smile on his face.

"Well, dig in…" he said motioning towards the food.

I laughed and we started eating. At first it was like a normal dinner, but heaps more romantic, then it started getting deeper than any other conversation we usually had on dates. We talked about random stuff and important things, plans, expectations, dreams, and wishes for the future. But most of all, we talked about our future, our future together.

"Max…" Fang trailed off in deep thought.

I looked up from my glass of water. Our empty plates had been removed by a waiter who checked on us every so often, and now the table only had our drinks and the decorations.

"Yeah…?" I said softly.

He moved his chair closer to mine until out knees were touching. Fang reached for my right hand and held it in between both of his. He kissed it and looked up into my eyes.

"Max…" he repeated, "I love you, so much."

His lips curved in to a small smile, "Max, I always wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, as your best friend. Now, I've decided that I still want to spend the rest of my life with you next to me, not as my best friend, but… as my partner, as my wife."

My heart constricted painfully and started to get as excited as I was. I was unbelievably surprised that he was really saying this, surprised but immensely ecstatic.

"You are the person who made me who I am today. I was lost, I had become…" he looked down remembering but then looked into my eyes with so much love and care that I felt my eyes sting with tears, "But you… you never lost faith in me when everybody else had. You were always there, and you helped me get back up. I know that it doesn't matter how hard and how low I fall, I'll always have you there supporting me, helping me. I want you to know that I'll always have your back, always. You and me, to infinity and beyond and beyond that."

He pulled his hands away from mine and reached in to his pocket. Then he laid a small, velvet, black box in front of me. My heart gave a hard squeeze and stopped for a few seconds. I stared at it wide eyed, I felt as my hands started to get clammy. I know what's usually in small, velvet, black boxes… Fang chuckled and I looked up at him.

He looked amused, "Don't worry, hun. Chill, just open it."

Okay… He said "chill", open it Max! Open it! My heart had resumed its function and it did a really good job expressing my emotions, it was beating really, really fast. I swallowed hard and forced my arms up and my hands to grab the box. It felt smooth on my fingers and slowly, very slowly I opened it.

When I saw what was in it I smiled and looked at the rings resting on a cream soft pillow. They were truly beautiful.

"Fang, I-"

"They're promise rings." He explained, "You see, I really didn't know what to get you. I went to this jewelry shop and I explained to the man who attended me how much I loved you. The man told me that we should wait a while to get engaged, you know, finish high school and the university, get older.

"Max, I promise… I promise that I'll stick by you forever. I'll be there when you need me and when you don't. I promise to love you every day of my life. I want you to know that there is no one as important as you in this world, you are my only and true love. I love you, and I mean it, I'm not but saying it as an immature teenage boy, I'm saying it genuinely and loyally. I love you Max…"

I quickly wiped the tears that had overflowed and were now running down my cheeks. I gave Fang a quick kiss and sat back down. I studied my ring. It was beautiful, it was a white gold band, an elegant heart on the middle and a diamonds surrounding the heart. It was gorgeous. Fang's ring was also made out of white gold, but the band was thicker than mine and plane, but still beautiful and matching mine.

I looked inside the ring and it said something, I tried read the delicate handwriting.

"To infinity and beyond." I read and smiled, I looked up at Fang.

He shrugged, "Beside that is today's date, December 7th."

Fang grabbed the ring and held my right hand gently.

"If you wear the heart pointing inwards it means that the wearer's heart is taken." He said putting the ring on my right ring finger, perfect fit. When he finished he looked in to my eyes and smiled sweetly.

"I swear I'll put the ring on your other hand someday." he said, leaning in to a sweet, slow kiss, my heart giving a small jump.

"I love you, it's unbelievably beautiful. Thank you." I said as he pulled back,

"Put yours on."

I picked it up and put it on his right ring finger. I jumped as I remembered his gifts.

"I got you something." I said happily.

I reached under the table for my purse, I have no idea how it got there, don't ask. I opened it and gave him his presents.

"Here, don't read it now though." I blushed as I gave him my fat letter, "Let the suspense build up."

Fang rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"And…" I grabbed the little box the chain was in and the wrapped picture frame and put it in his hands, "These."

Fang opened them and I loved to see his face as he saw what they were. I knew that Fang didn't exactly use jewelry except for his promise ring and as soon as he opened the necklace he put it on. I felt so happy that he liked it.

I felt really, amazingly blissful, I was so happy that we had come this far in our relationship and that we were still going strong. I was excited that Fang cared enough to do all of this, he bought me flowers, a ring, and this wonderful dinner. I then felt unease inside, he had spent so much money on me and I well I… felt like a bad girlfriend.

As if he could read my mind Fang leaned again and kissed my cheek, "Don't worry about the unimportant things, this is what matters."

He pulled his chair closer to mine and hugged me. I hugged him back, trying not to think about the "unimportant things", as in the money spent.

We continued to talk after that, we talked about next week's plans, tomorrow's plans, about our parents, about out siblings, and mostly about us. Besides talking, we spent most of the night cuddling, kissing, and laughing.

"Ready to leave?" he asked getting up.

I looked at my cell phone's clock and it was nearly 12, the restaurant already closed, nearly twenty minutes ago. I was glad that the owners hadn't kicked us out when they closed, but I was embarrassed because we had made them stay longer than they should.

We walked out and said our good-bye's to the owner. He asked if we had enjoyed our evening and the meal. Obviously we had, we told him thank you and that it was truly amazing.

When we got home, to my surprise there wasn't anybody there. I was happy because we could continue our alone time. I took my shoes off, and put them in the coat closet next to the door. Fang and I walked over to the couch and started… what you may call, an intense make-out session. We were now lying down, Fang hovering on top of me. I was trying to unbutton his first button when the door opened and Fang and I jumped, nearly freaking touching the roof.

"Max? Fang?" my mom called.

Fang had fallen on the rug and I was standing up, trying to pull my dress down before my mom came in to the living room. Fang was already up beside me, tucking in his shirt.

"Oh, here you are." She said walking in, and eyeing us suspiciously.

"Mom." I stated and smiled at her.

"…uh." She said trying to remember, "Oh, yeah. Can you help me get Gazzy and Angel inside? They fell asleep on the way and I'm too old to carry them both."

"Sure." I looked at Fang and started towards the door.

When we were outside, I have a sigh of relief and Fang chuckled. I looked at him darkly and he shrugged.

I woke Gazzy up and helped him walk in to the house. Fang carried Angel in his arms, as if she weighed nothing, and he trailed behind me.

"Step." I said and Gazzy, half asleep, lifted his foot and walked through the door.

I put a secure hand on his back, so he wouldn't fall backwards and a hand on his arm to guide him. When we finally reached upstairs Fang went to Angel's room to tuck her in and I went in to Gazzy's room.

"Your bed." I said and Gazzy lounged forwards.

"No! Gazz!" he missed by a couple feet his bed and was falling towards the floor.

"Ow." he said and didn't move from the rug, falling asleep again right there.

Oh well, he wouldn't remember tomorrow... hopefully. I put a blanket over him and left him on the floor. He wasn't exactly as easy to pick up as Angel. I walked out of his room, closing the door lightly. Fang was there waiting for me in the hallway, a sweet smile on his lips.

"We'll be doing this soon, but they'll be our kids." my eyes nearly bulged out of my head and I turned dark red.

Fang chuckled at my reaction and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I had a wonderful night. You have no idea how much I love you, I don't think it's possible to love someone as much as I love you" he whispered in my ear, "I'll love you forever."

"To infinity and beyond?" I whispered back.

"To infinity and beyond." he confirmed.

He put a finger under my chin and lifted my head, to look in to his eyes. He smiled and leaned closer to give me a sweet, slow kiss. It was funny that I've known him for so long and my heart still races when his lips press softly against mine. He pulled away, much to my displeasure and smiled.

"Goodnight love." He whispered, giving me a kiss on my cheek and turned around walking downstairs.

I stayed there, just standing there in the middle of the hallway, all of tonight's thoughts racing through my mind.

"Max, hun? Are you okay dear?" my mom asked as she came up the stairs and seeing me standing there like an idiot.

"What? Oh, yeah, yeah. Uh, goodnight mom, love ya." I said shaking my head and walking towards my room.

I walked inside, locking the door behind me. I entered the bathroom and took a hot, relaxing bath. I lifted my right hand in front of my face, studying my beautiful ring. I smiled as I thought what it meant. I'm not much for jewelry but this one was special, it was more than plain jewelry.

I sighed, a smile on my lips. A whole year, amazing. Compared to other "relationships", this is the longest and, by far, the most meaningful. I truly wish I could spend my entire life with Fang. I- I know that if anything were to happen to Fang I couldn't go on. He is the really the only person who I have such confidence, such love for.

I love my family and my friends but that love is not even close to my love for Fang.

I walked out of the bathroom, changed in to the most comfortable pajamas that I could find and I sat down looking at my copy of out picture, the one I had given Fang.

We looked so happy there, I wish it would've been like that since the begging, but I guess that there has to be a storm for a rainbow to appear…


Yeah sorry, kind of a corny way to end it but yeah, it's true. There can't always be happy moments and everyone smiling all the time, right? Because that's just how life is, it makes us fall a thousand feet deep, and it's up to us to get back up.

Anyways I'm sorry, it's terrible. Tell me what you thought about it!
