I woke up to someone gently shaking my shoulder. I slowly wake up and my eyes meet with Dylan's golden brown ones.

"Good morning beautiful," he whispered.

"Good morning, Dyl. How did you sleep last night?" I asked.

"It was perfect because I was with you the whole night," Dylan replied and a smile came across his face.

"Awwwww," I said and placed a swift kiss on Dylan's lips.

He slowly moved his body on top of mine and leaned over and kissed me. I lifted up my head a little and interlocked my fingers around his neck. He pulled away, sat up and took off his shirt. I slid my fingers slowly down his bare chest. He started to kiss my neck and I moaned a little. "Dylan..." I said as he was kissing me. Then I heard the door slowly open and I looked over Dylan's shoulder and my Aunt was standing in the doorway. "Umm..." I started to say. Dylan quickly pulled away and turned around. His face turned bright red and quickly put his shirt back on.

"I'm so sorry!" My aunt said starting to back out of my room and she closed the door behind me.

"Oh my gosh," I said and we both started to laugh nervously.

"We should probably go downstairs now," he said and scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"Good idea," I said and kissed his cheek. I climbed off the bed, took Dylan's hand, and we went downstairs.

"Good morning, Aunt Cassie!" I said cheerfully.

"Good morning sweetie. I'm so sorry about before," she said.

"It's okay, I should've let you know. It's my fault," I replied.

I looked into Dylan's eyes, and I couldn't ask for anyone else other than him.

I kissed his lips and smiled,"I love you, Dylan."

"I love you too, Nicole."

On Monday, my perfect life was ruined when I saw Jessica going at Dylan again, and she was kissing him. The problem was, he wasn't pulling away. She was pushing him against the lockers and he wasn't doing anything about it. I was standing at the end of the hallway and I dropped my books, I tried to stay strong, but I started to cry.

"Dylan?" I whispered. I stared, but gave up. As I picked up my books, I saw his hands over mine and he said, "Please Nicole, let me explain," his voice was shaky and tears rolled down his face.

"I-" I was too choked up to say anything. I shook my head, picked up my books and walked away. When he couldn't see me anymore, I ran into the girls bathroom and leaned over the sink. I dropped my stuff on the floor next to me and slowly looked at myself in the mirror, my mascara was running and I was a hot mess.

"Why Dylan? Why..." I whispered.

I looked at my phone and I realized Dylan was trying to call and text me. His texts said:

Please Nicole, let me explain, I love you so much, I hope you know that. If you love me, meet me in our 'special' spot by the locker rooms. Please...

The truth was, I did love Dylan. More than I have ever loved anyone before, more than Jackson. I decided to go to the locker rooms, because I wanted to hear what he would say and I loved him, and that was all that mattered.

Once I got there, I saw Dylan looking down at the floor and he was messing with his fingers.

"Dylan?" I asked, and my eyes start to tear up.

He rushed towards me and put his hands on my arms.

"Nicole," he said and got choked up. "I love you, and trust me I wanted to pull away instantly. She was pushing me against the lockers, I couldn't do anything. Why can't she just understand that you can't go around kissing people..." I looked down. 

He cupped his hands around my face so we were eye to eye and I said, "Dylan, it's going to be hard to easily forgive you after something so impactful...but, I love you Dylan and I trust you," another tear fell from my eye. Dylan took his thumb and wiped away my tear.

"I love you-" I said and hid my face in his chest. I embraced him, and I had to understand that it wasn't his fault. After all we've been through, not being able to forgive him over something that wasn't even his fault was unimaginable.

I looked up at him and he said "Nicole,
I'm so sorry-" I pressed my finger on his lips and kissed him. He pressed me against the wall and he held onto my back. I lifted up my legs and wrapped them around his waist. I pulled away to catch our breath. I then interlocked my fingers around his neck and continued to kiss him. Then he gently put me down and he pulled away.

"How did I get so lucky to meet and fall in love with you Nicole?"

"I'm glad I moved," I said and rested my head on his shoulder. Since it was the end of the day and classes were over, we walked out of the school and into the park.

"This is the spot where I realized I was starting to really like you, Nicole," Dylan said as we sat down in the grass. This reminded me why I fell in love with him.

"Thank you Dylan, for everything." I placed a kiss on his lips, and leaned my head on his shoulder. We watched the sun set, and my life was complete. In this moment, I couldn't imagine my life any other way. Not with Lily, or Jackson, but just with Dylan.

Just Dylan...
