Disclaimer: I only own Amy

I pulled away from kissing Royce knowing this was wrong. "Look Royce. Don't expect me to just kiss you because I'm vulnerable. Your cute but right now I don't need this. Leave me alone." so with that I ran leaving him speechless. I got on my bike and hurried home. When I got home I cried into my pillow feeling that breeze with me again. I turned over. "Ryan. You have no idea how much I need you." I whispered.

I fell asleep crying. The next day I called in sick and ate chocolate ice cream while watching movie to ease my heart ache. I felt that cold breeze with me all day but it didn't help how I felt. It disappeared eventually.

I went to sleep around 7 after my therapy session that took all day. When I woke up I got dressed then walked to school. My eyes hurting from crying the day before. On my way to home room I saw a poster that said homecoming was coming up. It was enchantment in the forest theme.

I continued on to class. When I got to home room I sat in my seat in the back and when Royce came in he ignored his friends surprising me and them and sat next to me. Giving me a smile he sat down. When the teacher came in and began class he passed me a note.

'Who's Ryan.'

'No one.'

'Didn't seem like no one with how much you were cryin' if someone hurt you here you tell me and I'll teach 'em a lesson'

'thank you Royce but that's not necessary he's just an old love that I had to leave back home.'

'Oh sorry. Is that why your single? Your still with him doing the long distance relationship thing'

'I wish. But sadly no. he died look can we not talk about this' I wrote tearing up

'sorry well will you at least be my date for homecoming?'

'Maybe if you stop being a jerk and act like you did at the hill'

'can do.'

We went back to paying attention before we got caught. The bell ran and I was gathering my books to go to my next class when Royce got them for me. "Here let me get those." "Thank you." "No problem doll- I mean Amy." I smiled and we walked to my next class.

It went through the day like this. Him meeting me at the end of my class and carrying my books to my next one before he headed off to his own class. He was very sweet at lunch and free period. I helped him with his homework while he taught me the basics of baseball. I saw girls glaring at me but I didn't care.

By the end of the day he gave me a ride home and I was feeling happy again. Like when I was with Ryan. "Thanks Royce." "No problem. Want me to pick you up tomorrow?" I thought for a sec. "Sure." I replied nodding.

"K see ya." "Bye Royce." I went inside and did my homework before watching a movie and going to sleep.

This went on for months before it was new years. Royce, some school mates and I celebrated together at the movie theater. Watching the ball drop and drinking beer and champagne. 10 min. Before midnight Royce pulled me to the side wanting to talk to me. "Listen. Amy. Ever since I met you I don't know what happened. But something sparked in me. Whenever I see you my heart pounds in my chest and everything disappears while I only see you. Every game I win I think of you. Every girl I see I see you. You're the first girl to make me feel this way. I guess what I'm trying to say is. I love you."

They were counting down from ten now while the ball dropped. "I love you too Royce." I said giving into my feelings. And the second it turned 1953. Royce and I kissed. I wrapped my arms around his soldiers while his went around my waist.

As it got deeper we heard his friends hot at us. "Get a room." one of the his friend's girlfriend said before giggling and laughing with the rest of them. We broke apart as they said that and looked at them. "So what do ya say Aims? Will ya be my girl?" I smiled. "Yeah Royce."

He walked me home after the party. Hand in hand. We got to my door. "I had a great time tonight Royce. Thank you." "Anytime toots." I giggled at the name. He leaned to my ear. "I gotta condom in my pocket if ya wanna have more fun but if you're not ready it's fine." he whispered.

"Royce. It's too soon. We just started dating." "Ok I understand. I would never use you Amy." I smiled. "Will you be alright getting home? You could always stay here." "Yeah sure I'll be fine." he started to walk away. I frowned. "Wait Royce?" he turned. "Yeah?"

"Will you still stay? I don't wanna be alone." he smiled admiringly at me. "Yeah." so we walked up to my room exhausted then fell asleep in each others arms. But the room got so cold I had trouble sleeping but Royce's warmth helped.

Pretty soon it was prom night. I was fixing my makeup while waiting for Royce to pick me up. I heard a car honk so I rushed to the front door and outside. Once I locked the door I turned around and gasped. There was Royce standing looking very handsome holding the door open on a limousine for me.

I walked up to him still in awe of the limo. They're very expensive. "Oh. Royce. You didn't have to." "I know but I wanted to. After all. My girl deserves the best." I smiled so we got in having some champagne on the way there.

When we arrived the limo was to wait outside until we were done. I went inside linking arms with Royce. "Oh my gosh." I turned to go because all the other girls were wearing green, tan, or brown to match the theme while my dress was completely different. Royce stopped me. "Relax your beautiful." he reassured me.

I sighed then smiled. We went and got our pictures taken for the year book with his arms around my waist with his head on my shoulder. My arms around his. After that was done the dancing began. I danced with some guys while Royce danced with some girls. But when a slow song would come on we danced together.

When it came to announce king and queen Royce and I had put ourselves as runner ups. Well he did then sneakily put me as one. "And the prom queen is...Amy Carter!" I kissed Royce on the cheek before going up and being crowned. "And the king is...Royce Clayton!" he came up smirking to keep his 'cool' on. He was crowned and given the staff.

Everyone clapped while our picture was taking. Then Royce surprised me by getting on one knee and pulling out something from his pocket. My smile began fading. "Amy would you marry me?" he asked.

All the girls were doing aw's while guys were hooting 'way to go' and 'say yes'. I looked around worried. "Oh Royce. I love you but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that commitment. I need to think about it." he looked down and his smile faded a bit.

"Alright but will you wear the ring until then?" "Of course." so he put it on. the students didn't hear what was said so they just cheered and clapped. After the prom I decided it was time for Royce and I to 'bond'. So that night when he dropped me off I brought him inside with me.

And we made love. But I couldn't help but feel a stab of guilt for betraying Ryan. Ryan and I lay in each other's arms after our session. "Hey. Babe is it ok if you walk home tomorrow I gotta do a quick race after school." "Royce! I thought I told you no more racing. I don't want you hurt." I said.

"I know babe. But everyone is cheering me on and this guy is so full of himself I wanna teach him a lesson." "Who?" "Johnny Mantle." "You mean that asshole that bullies everyone and is so perverted." "Exactly." I sighed and thought for a bit.

"Fine. But promise me you'll be careful." "I promise." "And Royce." "Hmm." "I gotta talk soon. But after your race. I'm tired." "Why not at school." "It's private." he nodded against his pillow understanding. "Ok." "Royce?" "Hmm?" "I love you." he smiled. "I love you too Amy." with that we fell asleep in each other's arms.

R&R please and should Amy turn into a ghost or stay human for when she get's to the house. I'm thinking bout making her a ghost.
