Nate's POV
It was 6:00, and I told Hannah to meet me at the beach at 6:30. It was time to go. I had decided on a very romantic dinner on the beach. I couldn't believe I was doing this, this was the first time I had ever felt this much love for a girl.
Just then I saw Hannah come. "Hey Nate"
"Hey babe" I kissed her cheek.
Hannah started to look all around. She seemed kind of surprised. I had a really romantic dinner set up. There was a small table with candles and I had made her favorite dinner, Chinese, with some help from my mom.
Hannah turned to me and said "Wow, thanks, this is so nice and romantic" She hugged me.
"Come, let's eat" I said.
"Wow Nate, the food was so good, I am having such a great time" then she leaned over and kissed me. I smiled and took her hand, and we sat on the sand.
"So what's the occasion? You haven't been this romantic before" I was now starting to get nervous.
"Um… well, there's something I need to tell you". She looked at me and held my hand. "What is it Nate"? I looked at her, making sure I didn't sound afraid.
"Hannah ever since we have been together… I haven't felt this way before". Hannah smiled, and I then started to get my hopes up. "Hannah I don't just like you."
"I love you"
Hannah looked really shocked and stood up. "You what?! I'm sorry Nate I-I I just can't." I looked up at her, shocked.
"What-what do you mean you can't?"
"I am just not ready for that word 'love', I like you but I don't love you, I'm not sure if you mean it yet and we are still really young".
"Hannah trust me I do"
"I saw so many girls get their heart broken and they were all really young. My own sister got her own heart broken". I was never the one to cry, but right now I feel a tear go down my cheek.
"But Hannah-"
"No buts Nate; what if you start to like another girl?"
"I won't though"
"You don't know that" Hannah took my hand. "Nate maybe things are going too fast, we should take a break"
"What!?" I screamed.
"We have only been together for four months".
"I know but I love you"
"No Nate, I think we should take a break and decide if you actually love me".
"I do Hannah"
"I don't know Nate, and right now my feelings are different, they aren't as strong, we have only been together for a couple months".
I just stood there trying to take it all in.
Hannah kissed my cheek and said "I am sorry Nate" and then she left.
