Andy's POV

Ceceilia caught me off gaurd when she walked into my garden, but I couldn't help but smile. I was always so happy to see her. And she was still wearing my hoodie.

But then I started to feel embarrest. I hadn't seen her since I realized that I fell for her. And I probably looked a mess. "Lilah!" I said, happily, "Why're you here...why are you crying?" I ran toward her and put my hands on her shoulders and leaned down so we were at eye height. (I'm much taller than her.) when I realized what I'd done I was embarrest, possibly blushing, but she didn't pull away. I straightend myself and she hugged me. I did not expect that.

She laid her head on my chest and hugged me tightly. She was crying harder now. I looked at her and put my arms gently around her. "Lilah, what's wrong?" I whispered. "I...I told Ash everything...everything that happened last weekend and he got mad...he said...he said that he was going to kill you or hurt you and I got mad...I said that he better not even touch you...b-but he wanted to know why,s-so I told him something that I've been thinking about." I was confused. I didn't do anything with or to Lilah to make Ash mad at me. But I also knew that Ash was in love with her. "L-Lilah..?" I whispered, because she stopped talking and was sobbing into my chest. I could feel that her heart was beating really fast.

"A-Andy...I, I,...I'm in love with you, Andy!"

"Wh-what?"

"Y-you heard me. Please don't make me say it again."

"But, Lilah, since when?"

"S-Saturday night, Ash texted me "Good night, I love you" like he always does and my heart was racing really fast. Because I thought you sent it. But I realized he did and my heart almost imediatly slowed down. And when you asked me if I go to church, I started to feel really bad and thought 'I'm pathetic, I-I don't even know what religion Andy is and here I am wishing he'd send me an I love you, too.' B-but that just confused me more untill I realized that I fell for you."

I took a second to soak this all in. She slipped out of my embrace and fell kneeling on the ground crying before I could answer.

I got down and kneeled too, and I took her hands away from her face and rested my forehead on hers. She wouldn't look at me untill I started talking.

"Lilah," I whispered, "On Sunday after I dropped you off, I was thinking alot. I couldn't understand why I felt dissapointed when you so quickly said that I'm not your boyfriend. I said to myself, but I'm not her boyfriend. And I just felt more disappointed.

When I got home, I sat and ate lunch with my mom. I was very deep into thought and distracted. My mom looked at me and said, 'That Ceceilia is beautiful. She's very polite and nice, too. Do you like her?' I started at my mom and said, 'Mom, I think I'm in love with Lilah.'"

She sobbed harder so I whispered again, "And I am. Ceceilia, I'm in love with you. You do not know how happy I am right now."

She looked up me and my heart was racing faster than it had been. I didn't know that was possible. "Andy, really? You love me back?" she said. She sounded so innocent and gentle. "Yes," I whispered. She threw her arms around my neck and hugged me while crying. I stood us up and spun her around. I stopped though. "Why are you still crying, Lilah?"

"Happy tears." She said.

I smiled and moved a piece of her hair out of her face and paused.

I leaned in and kissed her, softly and gently. And it was the best feeling in the world.

AWWWH. ANDY SO PRESSHHH.! :3
