After that embarrassing incident, I decided that Arthur and I needed some space.

I stopped meeting up with him after work and I would sometimes see him in hallway of the apartment but I just gave him a quick wave and didn't talk to him.

Yet despite everything, I really missed him. I missed talking to him, I missed walking next to him, ...I even missed kissing him. I know it was only once, but I just couldn't get the feeling of them out of my mind.

With a groan, I got up from my bed and got dressed in a long sleeved black shirt that had the words "Angel' on it in cursive writing. Grey Jean's with a few tips, and a pair of black boots. Brushing out my hair, I picked it up and admired my long red ponytail. Adding a bit of eyeliner and mascara and red lipgloss to my face. I slipped Francesca over my shoulders, picked up my guitar case and made my way outside. I had to get out of here before my inner thoughts and desires got the better of me.

Walking out of my apartment, I walked a block over till I reached the cemetery.

It seemed to be empty because I saw no one else around. The wind blew through my hair and I admired all the colorful flowers on the graves around me.

A small smile came to my face once I saw my mom's headstone.

I sat down on the grass and began talking to her.

"Hi mom, It's good to see you. I'm sorry I haven't come to visit. Even after all these years it's still hard to accept that you're gone. ...I'm doing okay, I'm not sure how you'd feel about my hair color but trust me it was a necessary change...I'm sorry I didn't bring you any flowers..but I did bring my guitar. I've been working on a song and I thought maybe you'd like to hear it."

Pulling it out of its case, I took my guitar into my arms and began to play.

(Song: "I Miss You" By: Avril Lavigne )

"I miss youMiss you so badI don't forget youOh it's so sadI hope you can hear meI remember it clearlyThe day you slipped awayWas the day i foundIt won't be the sameOhI didn't get around to kiss youGoodbye on the handI wish that I could see you againI know that I can't oooooooooooohI hope you can hear meCause I remember it clearlyThe day you slipped awayWas the day i foundIt won't be the sameOhI've had my wake upWon't you wake upI keep asking whyAnd I can't take itIt wasn't fake itIt happened you passed byNow you're goneNow you're goneThere you goThere you goSomewhere I can't bring you backNow you're goneNow you're goneThere you goThere you goSomewhere you're not coming backThe day you slipped awayWas the day i foundIt won't be the sameOhI miss you"

With every word that I sang I could feel the tears just begging to be released from my eyes.

It wasn't until I sang the last part of the song that I let it happen.

I held onto my guitar for dear life and just sobbed my heart out.

I was so busy crying that I nearly gasped when I felt arms around me.

By the familiar smell of tobacco I knew it was Arthur.

He shushed me and layed my head on his shoulder.

"What are you doing here?...were you fallowing me?" I demanded.

"Arthur was silent for a second before letting out a guilty "Yeah".

"Why...I thought we were avoiding eachother" I said trying to brake free from his grasp.

He let go of me, but put both of his hands on my face. Making me look at him with tears still in my eyes.

"Give me another chance, I wont be scared this time" he said in an almost to desperate voice.

"You mean, you wanna be more than friends? And you see me as more than just a sister?" I asked.

"I do" Arthur said before kissing me. I could feel my sadness melting away as his lips locked with mine.

When he pulled away both of us sat there smiling like two kids who had just experienced their first kiss.

"Maybe..we shouldn't be doing this in front of your mom" said Arthur.

"I think she'd be happy for us" I said happily.

Sticking out his hand, I took it and he helped me up.

I said my goodbyes to mom and walked with him back home.

"You truly are a good singer' he said in a shy voice.

"I didn't expect anyone to hear me..well besides mom ofcourse."

"Well I'm glad I did" he said.

I leaned over and kissed his cheek, feeling like nothing in the world could take this happiness away from me.
