I Am Who I Am...Because of You

{Nina's POV}
I woke up. I breathed in everything that happened last night. I couldn't believe any of it. I went down stairs, Gran was still sleeping. She never woke up before 9:30. It was 5:00 am, and with everything that happened last night running through my head, I wouldn't be able to sleep. I walked into the kitchen and made myself so tea to relax myself a little. Seeing it was still early, I walked out onto the porch and sat on the swinging bench we had, to watch the sunrise. My Parents and I used to sit on this bench and watch the sunrise, and any morning I do, it makes me happy and feel like they are still here with me. It gives me a peace at mind. Taking deep breaths of morning air and small sips of tea, I pondered over anything that came to mind.

I heard the door shut. I got out of bed and walked up to the door to make sure there was no psychotic-mass-robber lurking around. There wasn't a psychotic mass robber there, but Nina, sitting on the bench. At 5 in the morning. I yawned. I walked up to her and sat next to her. It seemed like she didn't even notice. Maybe she's more tired than me, even?
"They took me out here to watch the sunrise, the day they died. Exactly 11 years from today." She barely whispered.
"I'm sorry," I said. I didn't dare go any closer, for her emotional health. I wanted to comfort her, but it didn't look like she was going to cry, and that worried me more.
"Nina, say something, please," I begged her. She put down the cup she had and began to talk.
"Ever since they died I wasn't the same. Not as happy. That's why I went to Anubis house you know, to get a fresh start and stop loathing over the past. I didn't think it would help but gran did. I'm just realizing now that, as soon as I got on the plane, I was excited. Like really excited and happy to get away from the town that reminded me of them so much. The longer I stayed at Anubis house, the more I made new friends and memories… the more I got over my parents death and was finally happy. Thank you Fabian… for being my best friend when I needed one the most."
She looked over at me and smiled with teary eyes. I could tell they were tears of joy, but I still wanted to hold her. I wanted her in my arms, but I was worried how she'd react. Even if we danced last night, I didn't want to push any boundaries. She did just call me her best friend.
"Nina, you know I'd do anything for you. There's no need to thank me," I truthfully told her.
"Anything?" she asked.
"Anything."
"Hold me?" she asked. To say I was shocked would be an understatement, but I tried not to show it much.
"Huh?" I asked.
"I asked you to hold me," she stated with a small giggle but still watery eyes. I began to awkwardly put my arms around her, but she snuggled up to me in the cutest way, I could only smile and feel relieved.
"Thank you," She said. Rain started lightly falling. Luckily the canopy protected us from it. We stayed like that, watching the sunrise. Nina called it the most beautiful one of the year. I couldn't help think it was either because it was the day her parents died or she was watching it with me. I wanted it to be the seconded one, but it probably wasn't. The colors of orange, red, and yellow of the sunrise were exceptionally beautiful this morning. Looking down at Nina in my arms I couldn't help but think she was exceptionally beautiful this morning as well.
"It's almost as beautiful as you," I said before I could stop myself. She leaned up to look at me. I blushed and almost stated to panic. Oh no! Had I just blown it?
VERY much to my surprise, she leaned in and kissed me… and I kissed back! Well that turned out better than I thought. She pulled away and laid her head on my chest and closed her eyes with a smile on her lips. I smiled too and just laid back and enjoyed the sunrise and the beautiful girl in my arms, still slightly blushing. Maybe we can be something more than friends now.
{Nina's POV}
Finally… maybe we can be something more than friends now. I hope.
