You know I'm scared too. I'm worried you will disappear on me like before. Back then I was too young to realized how I felt. I will love you forever. I can't live without you anymore, since fate has brought us back together. I promise you, my feelings will never change. From this day on I will never hurt you. I don't want another pretty face. I don't want just anyone but you. I don't want my love to go to waste, because I want you and your beautiful soul. He whispered to her and held her closer, breathing in her scent. He whispered a little loud, but didn't notice Lucy's front door was open until he looked up and seen Lucy's mom standing there with Ricky. They heard most of it and didn't know who was talking until they seen him walking up with Lucy. Ricky came over at 9 was wanting to talk to Lucy to ask her on a date again. He broke his cell phone, so he couldn't call or text anyone.

When Schroeder looked up to see the two by the door he said, She fell asleep on the couch listening to me play the piano. So I brought her home earlier then planned.

Oh okay. May I ask a question?, Lucy's mom asked. Schroeder nods and looking at Ricky for some kind of hint on what she wanted to ask. Do you really love her?

Yes, he said without hesitation, Ricky looks hard at the kid holding the girl he wants to be with.

Her mom- What if I told you I forebid my daughter to be with you? What would you do?

Schroeder- It's not up to you. It would be up to Lucy, if she wants to be with me or not.

Her mom- True, but what do you have to offer for my daughter? Ricky has real job and can provide for her with all her needs and not be a starving artist!

Ricky looks at Mrs. Van pelt and raised an eyebrow. Then he watched Schroeder's face fall, and he looked down at Lucy then to her mom and answered, I offer myself and provide all of me. You want us to turn out like Romeo and Juliet?

Her mom and Ricky looks at each other and looks back at him. She asks him, You're telling me you both would run away?

No, not unless we have too. I'm sorry but I can't be without her. I will treasure her and will provide for her but if others keeps us apart there will be a problem!, he said, he didn't understand why her mom being so difficult.

Her mom nodded and looked at Ricky and said, Ricky would you be a dear and take Lucy upstairs...

NO!, Schroeder said louder then them whispering. Her mom looks at him and about to protest when he started again, I already have her I'll do it. With that said he went passed then inside the house, and they followed.

You don't need to follow me I think it be better if you just tell me where it's at., he said and then she rolled her eyes and told him on the last door on the left. He walks to Lucy's bedroom and goes in and lays her down and whispers in her ear, I'm sorry...

It's okay, Lucy said opening her eyes. Schroeder jumps back a little and says, You're awake! What.. uhh

She sits up in her bed and said. I've been awake since you picked me up at your house.

Schroeder- Really so you?

Lucy- Yeah I'm sorry my mom is over protective.

Schroeder- It's okay I guess. So I wonder why your boyfriend's here..

Lucy- He is not! And I don't know. But you do know mom won't stop unless you prove to her your worthy.

Schroeder- Do you think I'm worthy of you?

Lucy was messing with her blanket and shrugged her shoulders. Schroeder was in disbelief. Why don't she realize I'm telling her the truth. He said on her bed and took her hand. Lucy I.., he tried to talk but she pulled her hand back and looked at him.

Maybe we shouldn't.., She said doubting this whole thing. Why do I keep running from the truth? AllI ever think about is him. He's got me hypnotized.

Do you ever think, when you're all alone,

all that we could be, where this thing could go? Am I crazy or are you falling in love with me again? Is it real? Are you holding back? Do you catch your breath when I look at you, like I do? I don't want to stop this., He stood up and started pacing the room telling her this.

Schroeder I, I want to tell you how happy you make me, but..., she said looking serious at him.

But?, he stops and looks at her.

Lucy- Do you just feeling guilty is that what you think your feeling instead of love?

Schroeder- WHAT??!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!

Lucy- Well I was thinking it over and on a doctor's stand point maybe from all those years you been feeling guilty and you really don't love me you just think you do, because you were an asshole.

Schroeder- Stop talking stupid Lucy! I know I love you it's not being GUILTY! Stop acting like you are the real doctor here!

Lucy- I'm going into college to become a psychiatrist. I've been reading..

Schroeder- That's your problem! You think books can help this situation! Lucy I want to be with you for the rest of my life. That won't be in no damn book!

Lucy- Why are you yelling at me? Are you realizing I'm right and you trying to play dumb?

Schroeder- Lucy! We just made-out like 3 hours ago and you were enjoying yourself, and so was I! I really, really liked it alot! Why would I feel the way I do if I "supposely" feel guilty about what happened 7 years ago!

Lucy- Because of our hormones! We are the opposite sex, so we feel attraction for one another!

Schroeder-Don't give me that crap Lucy! I never felt like making out with other girls before you!

Lucy- It's because..

Don't Say It!.., he said pulling at his hair in frustration. Damn this woman and her belielfs! He thought rolling his eyes then the door opens to reveal Ricky. Schroeder turns around and Lucy turns her head to look at Ricky.

Lucy is everything okay in here? Your mom asked for me to come see why it was taking Schroeder so long to come down. And I heard yelling.., he said.

Oh that we do that alot don't we Schroeder, said Lucy smiling nervously.

Schroeder rolls his eyes and says, Whatever. Since your boyfriends here I'm... going go. He was so done trying to convince this girl he really truthful about being in love with her but the other guy in the room just making him feel angrier.

Typical, Ricky said moving out of the way of the door next to Lucy by her bed. Lucy eyes popped open really big like oh no. Schroeder stops and quickly turns around and says, Excuse me?

You heard me, you are a coward. You leave after a fight? You claim to love her but do you? She deserves better!, Ricky said poking his finger at him. Schroeder moves closer, close enough to have Ricky's finger touch his chest.
