Hey, guys! I couldn't wait any longer to publish this, so here you go!
He always knew that she didn't feel the same way. He was stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And yet, he still felt a brief flicker of hope after talking to Beckett. He didn't go to school the next two days. By Friday, he had just about given up hope. So he was surprised when Dani came out onto her balcony.
"Myles?" She called. He grinned. Dani stepped forward. God, she was beautiful. Even with her messy hair and old pajamas. The moonlight illuminated her skin until it glowed. Her eyes were neverending deep blue pools that you could gaze into forever. And her long, thick hair shone with a thousand stars. Her eyelashes threw off bits of light as she blinked.
"Myles, I'm so sorry." He jumped onto her balcony.
"It's okay, Dani." He could see she was close to tears.
"I just . . . I don't know what I would do without you. You get me like no one else does. You're always there. You're my only real friend." He folded her into a hug. She hugged him back, already starting to cry. He let go for an instant to brush away her tears. Then he smiled at her.
"The first time I saw you, I thought you were the most beautiful girl on Earth. I was surprised when I first talked to you, how clever and quick witted you were. Then, we became friends. I discovered that you have a soft side. That your whole 'leave me alone' thing was just a facade. And I understood it." She smiled. Then, she leaned up and kissed him. It was completely magical. They talked all night. A little of this, a bit of that. But around three, she yawned. Her eyes slowly closed. He stared down at this beautiful girl asleep in his arms. Myles had to pinch myself. It all seemed like a dream. Too good to be true. He kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight, my sleeping beauty." She smiled, and snuggled closer to him.
Three days later
She could hear Myles talking to her parents. She walked slowly downstairs. They were all there. Myles stood up when she walked in, and his jaw dropped. She giggled, but couldn't help staring at him. He had a suit on, and looked incredibly handsome.
"H-here. This is for you." He stammered, handing her a red rose. Dani's mom must have taken at least a dozen pictures before they left. You'd have thought Myles and Dani were going to prom, with all the fuss they were making. He helped her into the car. Her dad smiled at them from the drivers seat. Then he started the car. We were halfway to the restaurant, joking and laughing, when suddenly there were bright lights, screaming, glass breaking. More screaming. I distantly realized it was mine.
You all have a massive surprise coming!
