I sighed as I set my bags down in my empty apartment, feeling the sense of loneliness again. Christmas break was over, and despite Chris's promise, we had to leave each other again. We had thought for days of how we could stay together, but nothing seemed to work out.
I walked into my room and began unpacking my bags. Another few months alone in this big city, I can't wait. I turned my record player on, letting My Girl flow through my apartment. There was a knock on my door. Probably another noise complaint. I groaned and walked to the door. I was immediately greeted by two crystal blue eyes.
My jaw hit the floor "CHRIS?! What are you doing here?!" he smiled and walked past me, looking around my apartmet "No no, Andy this is much too small. We'll have to look for a bigger one" I cocked my head to the side "What the hell are you talking about?" He sighed "Well how do you expect the two of us to live in an apartment this small?!" I blinked a few times "Wait what?" he leaned against the door frame and pulled a face "I don't know, I just don't think Harvard is the right school for me, I think i'll transfer here" It was silent for a minute "but...Harvard is so much better than NYU...You'll have more opportunities there" He shrugged "Sure it's great...but it doesn't have you"
I smiled, tears forming in my eyes "Are you...are you serious?" He smiled and nodded. I let out a cry and ran to him, jumping up and wrapping my legs around his waist. He kissed me hard, then dropped me back to my feet. "One more thing" I furrowed my eyebrows, wiping some tears away "What?"
He slowly got down on one knee, tentatively taking a small box out of his jacket "Andy Graham, will you marry me?" I started at him, my mouth agape. I put a hand over my mouth, tears falling from my eyes. I nodded. He smiled "Yea?" I nodded again "Yea.." He jumped up and spun me around. He kissed me, then rested his forehead against mine. I smiled "I love you" He ran a finger along my jawline "I love you too baby girl"
So, that's it! There will be an epilogue soon but then this story is over. Thank you so much to all the people who have read this story. I had an amazing time writing it and it's very hard to end it.
