I've only ever loved you-

The house was shaking from the intensity of the music, trying to hear anyone over it would have been impossible, even laughable. People crowded into the huge house making it very improbable that I'd be leaving any time soon. I groaned and wondered why Josh decided to even have this party. What did he say? Something about an engagement. I wasn't really listening. I was too busy looking at Ash who even when reading had the cutest, most amazing little quirks and habits. When she is concentrating or really into something her nose crinkles in this cute little way that makes me want to just grab her and kiss her, which when I think about it sounds a bit creepy. . . .Of course she doesn't like me back, I'm not really sure how she feels about me or being around me or really anything, she hangs around me so I'll take that as good. But she could always like me as a friend or worse; a brother.

I coughed as I was shoved mid drink and felt someone clapping my back, trying to help me from the coughing fit, my throat felt like it was on fire. I looked back after almost dying and saw Ashley there, looking embarrassed and worried, "Oh my god Chris! I am so so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you like that!" I waved a hand at her, trying to hear her over the music.

"It's fine! Hey, do you want to go somewhere more private so we can hear one another better?" I yelled, hoping she heard me but her face scrunched in confusion and she tilted her head, I tried again until someone tapped on Ashley's shoulder, making her turn towards them. The guy, who I could not remember for the life of me leaned down and was saying something in her ear, I noticed she flushed red, nodded and they made their way through the crowd. I tried to follow but froze and looked to my left, seeing Mike having Matt pushed against the wall, hungrily making out and grinding against him. Emily and Jessica stood next to them, watching humorously and whispering to one another as they watched. I though Emily and Matt were dating? And Mike and Jessica are the schools power couple! What the hell? I pushed through to them and was able to ask them.

"Oh, don't worry Chris! We're letting them do it." Emily said, waving her hand.

"They have WAY too much sexual tension between them. So we made a deal. I can get with Emily and Mike can get with Matt whenever he wants."

"The only exception is that I can't fuck Mike, and Jessica can't fuck Matt."

"That's where we draw the line." Jessica finished and I just stared at them in confusion, not really processing what they were saying then remembered what I was doing in the first place.

"Oh shit! Have you guys seen Ashley?" I asked and they nodded, pointing. I looked where they were pointing and saw Ashley on the stairs with the guy from before, she was being pinned against the railing and looked nervous. I glared, feeling jealousy shoot through me. I growled and pushed my way through the crowd towards them, being able to hear right before I left that Jessica found it unfair she couldn't at least get with Matt once since Emily use to be with Mike. I went up the stairs and pulled the guy away from Ashley. "Get the fuck away from her." Ashley looked a bit relieved when she saw me.

"Who he fuck are you?" The guy asked, stepping up to me and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I'm her fucking boyfriend. Get the hell away from her." The guy laughed, he fucking LAUGHED.

"You? YOU'RE her boyfriend? Goddamn, she has low standards doesn't she? Looks like she'll fuck whatever comes her way." He said, laughing and without knowing what I was doing, he fell down the stairs and my knuckles ached. Ashley gasped and we watched him fall down the stairs moaning in pain once he hit the bottom, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT YOU FUCKER."

"Oh shit. . .oh shit. Did I just do that?" I asked and Ashley nodded then grabbed the hand I used, there was blood splattered on my fist. She looked up at me and smiled.

"I can't believe you did that for me Chris." She said softly then led me up the stairs, we sat on the top step and everything went quiet. The guy even left the party it seemed, I couldn't see him anywhere and I was happy about that, already expecting to fight him again if I saw him.

"Attention! Can I have your alls attention?!" I heard Josh say, he sounded a bit buzzed but still pretty sober, more sober than anyone else really and the lights were moved to show him and Sam standing on top of a table. Josh looked smug and just happy as hell, Sam looked nervous and a bit drunk. "I would like to do something! Something that would make me the happiest guy to walk this planet!" Everyone cheered and he turned to Sam, making them all go quiet. He fell to his knees, pulling out a ring that I couldn't see and I saw Sam look around, surprised and then smiled a bit. She looked down at Josh, "Samantha Caroline Baker. Will you marry me?" Sam bit her lip and nodded, even from this distance I could tell she was ready to cry from happiness. Josh slipped a ring on her finger and he got up, picking her up and swinging her around, everyone cheered for them and I clapped, whooping happily for my best friend and I felt Ashley jumping from happiness for them. She grabbed my arm and was squealing about the wedding that she hoped Sam would pick her for Maid of Honour, even though she Hannah would most likely be chosen due to being Sam's Best Friend and all, but Ashley was a close second. Josh looked at me and tilted his head, asking without actually asking and I nodded. Of course I'd be the Best Man. Ashley looked up at me and I looked at her.

"I never got to thank you for helping me away from that creep." She said and leaned up, I could feel my heart beating rapidly in my chest as she did so and felt soft lips on my own, I pushed forward, deepening the kiss and I could feel her smiling into it. The kiss wasn't like how I expected it to be, even better actually. I didn't feel fireworks or anything loud and obnoxious like that, but I felt. . . home. I felt that I could forever kiss this girl and never once want to leave her or hurt her in any way. I felt safe and loved more than I've ever felt and it's better. It's better than feeling those so called fireworks. This was better than any fireworks. I didn't feel a sudden lust in this kiss. It felt familiar, I could see myself being with her forever, having a family, she felt right. She's the one. She pulled back and just whispered a small, "Wow. . . .That. . .was amazing." She said and I nodded, feeling a bit lightheaded. She grinned and looked down, "you. . . .you were so jealous." She began to giggle and I felt my face heat up.

"Y-yeah. . . .so. . . I've liked you for months."

"Don't worry Chris. I've only ever loved you. . . .and I'll only love you for all of eternity." I smiled.

"Ditto." Ashley raised an eyebrow at me and laughed, leaning on me. "One thing. . .why did you walk off with him?"

"Well he wasn't a creep at first. He was actually quite attractive and sweet until we made it to the stairs. . . you didn't seem to object to me leaving with him."

"I was trying to catch up with you, but I lost you and got distracted by . . . whatever is happening with Emily, Matt, Mike, and Jessica." We both looked over and saw that the original couples were back together, Emily wrapped around Matt and lovingly kissing him and Mike holding a wasted Jessica against him as they danced to the beat if the music.

"Oh yeah. I heard about their arrangement. . .I sadly walked in on Emily and Jessica having sex the other day. Let's just say they were not happy at all to see me standing there in shock. So they had to explain it all to me. Makes no flippin' sense at all." I nodded, agreeing with her and shrugging.

"Think Josh and Sam would be up to something like that?" I joked and Ashley punched my shoulder.

"Yeah right. Sam is totally monogamous." I scoffed.

"Loser."

"I know right?" We shared a look and burst out laughing, not able to continue acting straight faced any longer.

"Yeah. I definitely love you."

". . . .Ditto."
