Song: Light of My Life by Cvmel

"There is a world of difference between falling in love and being in love. You have to fall in love to be in love but falling in love is not the same as being in love."

Audrey's ( Shrimp ) POV:

----------------------

Tyler was a dork.

I swipe a bag of Dorito's across the scanner and place them into a plastic bag, smiling blankly at the woman with bleached hair. My mind felt as muddled as my heart did.

I glance over at Tyler with his messy hair and feel a real smile tug at my lips. I feel as if a herd of elephants suddenly started to stampede inside my stomach as he looks up at me and smiles.

Tyler was him.

The one person I could trust.

The one person I could count on not to leave me.

Last night was my point of weakness. It was the point where I broke, but I realized something. Something that makes my heart melt.

I realized that I love the way that Tyler smiles and how little crinkles flower across his eyes.

I realized that I love each and every one of his freckles that seem to scatter across his face like stars in the night sky.

I realized that I love his perfect teeth and crooked nose.

I realized that I love his robin egg, blue eyes that seem to get bluer every time he laughed.

I realized that I love Tyler.

Every imperfect quality to all of his almost too perfect, model-like, qualities.

I love all of him.

I love his boyish laugh and the way he talks.

I love his lisp when he says his S's and I love his centimeter large scar above his right eyebrow.

I loved the dork.

I chuckle to myself before a wide grin stretches across my face.

My thoughts must have been like a movie projected on a screen because across the register lanes I catch Grumpy looking at me with an amused look.

I feel a blush spread across my face before I go back to scanning the orange-faced, bleach girl's items.

Every once in awhile risking a glance at Solo.

The boy who I loved.
