Chapter 20

~KC's POV~

Drew and I's 6 month anniversary was coming up, and I wanted to make it really special for him. He's been with me through so much, I think its about time I thanked him. I didn't really know how to please Drew, he was kinda picky. So i went around and asked people things. I went to Alli first.

"Alli!" I called out to her.

"Oh hey KC. What's going on?" she asked.

Umm… You went out with Drew right? Do you think you can help me out?"

"That depends, what's this about? Alli asked

"Well…" I moved close to her and whispered "Our 6 month anniversary is coming up and-"

"Really? That's so cute!" she squealed, but still keeping it at a whisper.

"Yeah and I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to surprise him."

"Well, we only lasted two so I don't really know. Try Bianca, maybe she'll know." She said. Hmm. That shouldn't be too hard. We were still friends after that little thing with that liquor bottle (and not to mention those two joints, yes, I smoke a little).

I didn't find her anywhere, she must be absent. So after giving up, I had one more person to go to, Adam. Him and I weren't exactly the best of friends. I mean, we don't have any problems with each other, its just that we barely know each other. But this was for Drew, and who knows him better than his step-brother?

"Hey umm Adam." I called out to him.

"Oh uhh hey KC. What's up."

"Well this feels kinda awkward, but I was wondering if you could give me some advice."

"Lemme guess. Six month?" he asked, smirking.

"Uhh… yeah. How'd you know?"

"Uh, hello? You're dating my brother. He won't stop talking about it. He's been fixated on it since your five month! He's getting more excited every day." He said.

"Really? Well umm do you think you can-…. Ugh! Dude why can I taste you?" I said. He must have worn some really strong cologne.

"Oh, sorry, I just feel like I should smell nice for Bian….. never mind." He studdered.

"You're dating Bianca? I thought she outed you in front of the school." I said, surprised.

"Well, yeah I know. But she wants to try me this. For real this time."

"Oh, well I guess that's pretty cool." I said.

"So, what did you need help with?"

"Well, I want to really surprise him you know? Something unexpected."

"Well, do you have any like, special talents?" he asked. I thought about it.

"Well I can sing pretty well, and play guitar. But writing a song is gonna take forever. And plus I have horrible stage fright, even if the audience is one person."

"Well, it's Drew though. You only have to do it once." He said.

"*sigh* I guess it's worth a shot. Any songs you wanna throw at me?"

"Hmm… OH! I got it! But you have to promise to put this in the VAULT."

"Ok, sure. What is it?"

"Well, Drew's exterior is all tough and stuff right? Well to tell you the truth, he's a really big girl when it comes to… um…." He said, starting to chuckle. "The Jonas Brothers."

I laughed, but only because Adam did. I secretly liked them too.

"Really? So what song should I sing?"

"I swear if you sing… umm, Lovebug or something, he'll DIE."

"Hmm, I'll look it up. Thanks man." I said walking away. "Oh and good luck with Bianca"

He smiled and nodded.

Look it up? Please! I knew the whole song by heart, AND I learned the song last year, and perfected it. This should be a synch. Wow I feel so gay sing the Jonas Brothers to my boyfriend, but like I said, he's my boyfriend.

~Drew's POV~

Well, our six month anniversary is in a few minutes. I'm sitting on my bed, staring at my phone and waiting for it to hit 12am already. I was going to text him once it hit midnight. I already had it written, it said:

"So I'm seeing this guy. He's a little taller than me. Hazel eyes, brown hair, plays for both teams. I can't seem to find him anywhere. If you see him anywhere, tell him Drew said Happy Six-Month Anniversary. Also tell him Drew said he's very lucky to have him and that he loves him very much. Can you do that for me? Thanks!

It had finally hit midnight and I pressed send with a smile on m face. A few seconds later, he replied

Oh, Drew said that? How cute. I haven't seen him today either, but if you can find him for me, tell him that I love him too! And tell him I said I'd give anything for him. Also, tell him I have a special surprise for him. Meet me at my house at 5.

A surprise? Hmm, I wonder what he meant by that. I decided to talk to him.

*conversation starts*

D: a surprise? What kind of surprise are we talking here?

K: well if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore would it?

D: ok… could you at least give me a hint?

K: fine…. Let's just say it'll be nothing you'd expect.

D: that's not a very good hint, but I'll take it.

K: babe, I'm really tired. I'm gonna hit the sack. BYEEEEEEEE! Love you MUAH!

D: Sleep tight my love. I love you too.

*Conversation ends*

~KC's POV~

Well today's the day. I had woken up a little early to set up my room. I put a few streamers around the walls. I also made a little trail of rose petals from my door to my bed. It's cliché I know, but it's all I could think of. Suddenly, my mom walked in.

"What's all this?" she asked, chuckling.

"It's um… for Drew." I said. She smiled at me and sat on the bed.

"You really love him don't you?"

"Oh mom, you don't even understand."

"Yikes, my son's cheating on you."

"Mom, I'm dating a boy, you know you're the most important female in my life." I said with a laugh. "Wow, I'm dating a boy."

"Well KC, I cant say I'm not surprised, but if he makes you as happy as you say you are, he's a keeper in my book. Now c'mon, you'll be late for school."

So after I walked into Degrassi I was greeted by Drew, he had been waiting by the door.

"Are you stalking me?" I said with a laugh. "Maybe I should call a cop, but that would mean I don't like it."

"Well I'm just happy to see you." he said. "Damn, this has been a crazy six months. I don't think I could have enjoyed it more with anyone else."

"Thank you" I said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Well I guess I better get to class. See you at my house?"

"You know I'll be there."

~Drew's POV~

So after six long and painful hours at school, the school bell rang and I rushed to my car. When I got home, I wrapped his present, took a shower and got dressed. I put on a blue long sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans that he loves seeing me in. I looked at myself in the mirror and winked at myself. Then, someone knocked on the door, it was probably Adam.

"WHOA! Someone's got it bad." Adam said chuckling.

"You like?"

"I LOVE!"

"Adam, do you think he'll like his gift?"

"Drew you went through hell getting his gift, he BETTER like it, or I'll just have to beat him up." He joked. "Dude, I'm really glad that you found someone that makes you happy. All your previous girlfriends were disasters." He said

"Really? Aren't you dating Bianca?" I said

"Well… they were disasters for you."

"Well, thanks Adam. I appreciate it."

" Hey its 4:45, maybe you should get going."

"Yeah I should. Wish me luck."

"Go get him tiger." He said smiling at me.

So I hopped into my car and started driving to KC's house. I started thinking about our relationship. I remember that first kiss we shared. He had been so helpful to me and I had been helpful to him. Our relationship was really strong. I finally arrived at his house. I took one last look at myself to see if everything was ship shape. Grabbing my present, i climbed out of my car and walked to the door, knocking on it.

"Coming!" I heard him say. As he opened the door, he gave me a warm smile. "Wow, you look…. Wow."

"You look pretty spiffy yourself!" I said back to him. He really did. He was wearing pretty much the same thing I was wearing. He had his hair spiked up, something I've never seen before. It actually looked pretty damn good. But then again, this is KC we're talking about.

"Lovin the new doo" I said snickering.

"Thanks, I actually might keep it like this. I decided to try something new." He said, and looked down at his present. "Wow. That's a big box."

"I know."

"Follow me." He said and took a hold of my hand, escorting me into his room. It looked completely different, a little cliché, but I could tell he put a lot of effort into it. I was impressed.

"Wow babe, this surprise is great so far."

"This room? No, this isn't the surprise. I was thinking of exchanging gifts right now and get to 'you know what' later. If that's alright with you?" I was pretty stoked to see what my present was, so I went with it.

"Sure why not."

"Good, you go first."

I picked up my gift and said "Happy 6 month babe."

He took his time with it, carefully untying the ribbon and ripping the paper off. When he opened the box, he looked a bit disappointed.

"Oh… it's a basketball… uh… thanks babe" he said, trying to look as excited as possible.

"Look around sweetie." I said to him. He turned the ball around a few times and finally saw what it was for.

"Oh…. Shit." He said with wide eyes. I finally saw the Carmello Anthony signature on the ball.

"Like it?"

"Do I like it? Drew…. How…"

"Eh, my dad pulled some strings. It was supposed to be an early birthday present, but I felt you were more important."

"Babe, thank you so much." he said, kissing me.

"No problem. So, now it's your turn."

He took a deep breath and reached under his bed, pulling out a… guitar?

"Oh, babe it's nice. But um…. I'm a drummer remember?"

"Actually, this is mine."

"Oh, cool but what's it-" I stopped. Wait, is he seriously about to sing to me?

"Kissed him for the first time yesterday" he sang, and I instantly knew what he was singing.

I chuckled and said "Damnit Adam."

As he sang to me, I could feel the tears coming. His voice was amazing, it completely blew me away.

"Now I'm speechless, over the edge I'm just breathless, I never thought- Babe are you crying?" he said, warmly smiling.

"Please, just finish." Was all I managed to get out.

Once he was done with the song, I just sat there. I felt like a prince. First off, I never thought KC could sing, secondly, I never thought anyone would go out of there way to do this…. For me.

"I'm sorry, I know it sounded kinda bad, what did you think?"

I couldn't help it, I burst into tears. "I don't deserve you man."

"Drew, don't say that, you and I both know you do."

"But I don't. You sang to me, you actually sang to me. And all I got you was a basketball."

"Drew, that basketball was the second best gift I've ever gotten in my entire life. Do you know what the very best gift I've ever gotten was?"

"What"

"You." He said. "I'm so lucky to have you Drew. You've been by my side for everything. If anything, I don't deserve you." He said.

"You're such a jerk! Must you make me cry with your soothing words?" I said, lightly chuckling.

"Fine, I guess I'll express my love another way." He said, bringing me into a kiss.

There are only two words to describe that night. The first, fourths. The second, Perfect.
