*Girlfriend*

"Lily, can I ask you something?" Jonathan asked as their life skills class ended.

"You can ask me anything," Lily stated.

"Will you...will you be my girlfriend?" Jonathan asked.

"I don't think that I'd make a good girlfriend."

"Why not?"

"I thought I was Aiden's girlfriend but I wasn't. I wanted to be with Sam until he got angry and made everything red, and then I didn't. I just...I'm not like other girls."

"Well,you would be the perfect girlfriend for me."

"How would that work?" Lily asked.

"I know that you...that you don't like being touched Lily, but I'm just happy when I can spend time with you, so I'm okay with that. You're beautiful and the smartest girl I've ever known. You're caring and you listen to your heart. You believed in me, believed that I had changed when nobody else did. You're my best friend Lily."

"You're my best friend too Jonathan. So yes, I'll be your girlfriend."

"Can I walk you home?" Jonathan asked as he pulled out his handkerchief and held on to one end of it.

"Yes, I would like that very much," Lily said as she grabbed the other end of the handkerchief and headed out of the hospital together.
