   I drove up to my new house on MyStreet, it was a weird name, but I shrugged it off. I pulled into my driveway and got out. I grabbed a box from my car and walked into my new home. Luckily, there was already some furniture, like a table and chairs in the kitchen. I set the box on the table and opened it. A picture of my pet, (P/N), stared at me. I smiled remembering the good times we had. It still makes me sad thinking about how she died.....

*Knock knock*"Hello? Is anyone here?" A gruff voice with an accent asked.

"I'm in the kitchen. You're welcome to come in," I called back. A few seconds later two guys entered my kitchen. One of them had light almond colored hair and periwinkle eyes. The other had curly blonde hair and teal eyes.

"Hey, I'm Laurance," the brunette spoke, "and this is Garroth." He pointed to the cute blonde.

"Hello. I'm (Y/N). It's nice to meet you," I said with a smile. They glanced at the box on the table.

"Do you need help unpacking?" Garroth asked.

"Ummm... Yes, actually. I need all the help I can get," I replied.

   "Well if that's the case, I'll get everyone else," Laurance said. He glanced at Garroth, smirked, and walked out of my house.

   "So.... Could you get the boxes from my car? Can you place them on the table? I'll put them where they belong," I requested. I had forgotten to label the boxes, and I didn't want Garroth to see anything.

   "Okay," Garroth responded and headed out to my car. I closed the box that I opened and carried it upstairs. I looked in each room and set the box in the floor in the biggest room, my bedroom. I headed back downstairs to put more boxes away. I opened another box as Laurance returned with two guys and three girls. They introduced themselves. I remembered that Dante had royal blue hair and indigo eyes. Travis had snow white hair and emerald green eyes, and an obsession with girls' butts. Katelyn had powder blue hair and crystal blue eyes, and smacked Travis every time he stared at her butt. Kawaii~Chan had pastel pink hair, yellow eyes, black cat ears, and a black tail. Aphmau had raven hair and caramel eyes. It looked like the whole neighborhood was in my house. The boys ended up carrying the boxes into the house while I opened them and told the girls where they went. With everyone's help, I had all the boxes in the correct rooms, and the essentials were out. We sat in my living room, some of us on the couch and some of us on the floor. I offered everyone a drink, and they gladly accepted. I got up from the couch and grabbed a bunch of sodas I had bought and returned to the living room to find my seat taken by Garroth.

   "Hey! Why did you take my seat?" I asked Garroth playfully.

   "You got up. It was fair game," he replied while I passed out drinks. I sighed.

   "Can you please move? I was sitting there," I asked giving Garroth the puppy dog eyes. He shook his head no.

   "Fine. I didn't want to do this, but I guess I have to..." I slowly approached the couch Garroth was sitting on. I stood in front of him with my hands on my hips.

   "Last chance," I offered. Garroth looked confused and scared, but he still shook his head no.

   "Have it your way." And with that I sat on him. Everyone smiled while I just smirked.

   "U-Uhh.... Y-You can get off m-me. I-I'll move," Garroth sputtered. I raised one eyebrow.

   "Really? Okay," I said as I got up. True to his word Garroth moved back to his original seat on the floor. I laughed with everyone. Garroth's face was bright red.

   "(Y-Y/N), that w-was hilarious," Aphmau said between giggles.

   "It was, wasn't it," I replied smiling.

   I had grown close to everyone, especially the adorable blonde known as Garroth. Every time I saw him I smiled. I'm pretty sure I have a crush on someone for the first time since third grade.

   It was the middle of June, and it was super sunny as always. I was laying on my couch, bored out of my mind, when I had a great idea. I would ask Aphmua, Katelyn, and Kawaii~Chan to have a pool party. I texted Aphmau and she immediately responded with 'Yessss!! That's a great idea!' I smiled and asked what time. Aphmau sent the invite to the group chat that consisted of everyone from the neighborhood. My phone was constantly buzzing from everyone agreeing it was a great idea. The party was 4-7, and pizzas would be ordered for dinner. It was 2:57, so I had about an hour to get ready. I walked upstairs and looked at my swimsuits. I decided to wear a (F/C) bikini with a (2F/C) sundress as a coverup. I grabbed a polka dot towel and put it in my (F/C) beach bag. I searched my house for sunscreen and finally found it after ten minutes of searching. By then it was 3:54 so I headed to Aphmau's. I rang the doorbell and was joined by the boys. Aphmau opened the door and led us out back to the pool. I noticed Katelyn was trying to coax Kawaii~Chan into the pool, and Vylad and Jeffory were chilling on the deck. I slipped out of my sundress and immediately cannonballed into the pool, accidentally splashing Kawaii~Chan. She shrieked and ran behind the tree. I surfaces to see everyone laughing.

   "What did I miss?" I asked with a grin. Kawaii~Chan peeked out from behind the tree.

   "(Y/N)~Chan, you splashed Kawaii~Chan!" Kawaii~Chan screeched.

   "Sorry *giggle* Kawaii~Chan," I managed between laughs. Eventually Kawaii~Chan laughed.

   "I guess it's not that big of a deal. Besides, Kawaii~Chan knows (Y/N)~Chan didn't mean it," Kawaii~Chan said once everyone had calmed down a bit.

   "Okay. Now, why am I the only one in the pool? Does nobody like me?" I fake pouted, crossing my arms and treading water.

   "It's not that we don't like you, it's just that you're so hot the pool is boiling. Nobody wants to get burned," Laurance flirted with his signature smirk. He whispered something to Garroth and Dante, and Garroth turned red while Dante laughed.

   "I'm getting lonely. Katelyn, why won't you get in?" I whined.

   "Give me a minute (Y/N). Irene, you're so needy. Isn't this enough?" Katelyn complained. She was sitting at the edge of the pool with her feet in the water.

   "Nope," I replied, popping the p. Katelyn groaned.

   "Kawaii~Chan would join (Y/N)~Chan, but Kawaii~Chan doesn't like water," Kawaii~Chan said. She had moved from her spot behind the tree, but she stayed far away from the pool.

   "That's okay Kawaii~Chan. What about you guys? I know that Laurance is scared, but what about you, Garroth, Dante, and Travis?" Laurance looked offended.

   "Getting closer to a hot lady? Don't mind if I do," Travis said as he walked to the pool edge.

   "Umm... Okay? Why don't you stay by Katelyn-"

   "(Y/N), I swear!"

   "She looks lonely," I finished as Katelyn glared daggers at me. Travis smirked.

   "You're right (Y/N). She looks as if she could use some TLC." I burst out laughing.

   "Nope! Nope! (Y/N), I will kill you," Katelyn screamed as she ran into the house to avoid Travis. Travis ran after her. I swam to the edge of the pool, still laughing. The guys ended up coming to the edge of the pool near me.

   "Hey Garroth, can you help me get out?" I asked.

   "The ladder is right there," Garroth replied.

   "But I'm too lazy..." I groaned.

   "Fine," he said as he held his hand out to me. I grabbed it and pulled Garroth into the pool. He came to the surface sputtering, his damp curls sticking to his forehead. Dante and Laurance laughed with me. Eventually Garroth laughed. Dante looked at me with a questioning look and I nodded. Dante pushed Laurance into the pool and quickly jumped in. Aphmau came out with Aaron and Zane.

   "I feel like I missed something..." Aphmau said as everyone started laughing again.

   I woke up and rolled out of bed. I grabbed my phone and checked the time. 8:06. Then I realized what day it was. It was Christmas! Yay! I quickly put on a Christmas sweater and headed downstairs after running a brush through my (H/C) hair. I had a bowl of cereal and opened the presents my family had sent me. I loved everything they got me. I spent the rest of the day spamming the neighborhood group chat with Christmas messages, carols, puns and other things. I'm pretty sure everyone blocked me. He he. I finally stopped around five, when I started getting ready for Aphmau's Christmas party. I was super excited to give everyone their gift. I left my house, staggering under the weight of all the presents. The load was suddenly lightened and I saw a cute blonde grinning at me. I smiled back.

   "Need help?" Garroth asked.

   "Yeah. Thanks Garroth," I replied. We stood on Aphmau's front porch waiting for the door to open when Garroth spoke.

   "Umm.... (Y/N), I th-think I-"

   "Hey guys! I'm glad you could make it. You can set the presents under the tree," Aphmau cut Garroth off.

   "Okay. Thanks for inviting us," I said with a grin. We entered the house and dumped the presents under the tree. I dusted off my hands and sat on the couch for a bit while Garroth headed into the kitchen. I was feeling hungry, so I headed into the kitchen. I bumped into Garroth. I apologized, and started to walk off, but Garroth grabbed my wrist. I looked at him confused, and he just looked up. I followed his gaze to see a branch with white berries. Mistletoe. I blushed, but kissed Garroth. I'm pretty sure I heard Kawaii~Chan fangirling. We ended the kiss and I looked at Garroth's face which was probably as red as mine.

   "(Y-Y/N), will you c-come to our New Years p-party?" Garroth stuttered.

   "S-Sure," I answered.

<><><>Time Skip to 6 Days Later<><><>

New Years Eve. That means a party at the boy's house. Oh my Irene. I don't know why I still freak out about parties, I'm friends with everyone. Well, it's getting late. I should get to the party. I knocked on the door and Garroth answered with a shy smile.

"Hi Garroth. Thanks for inviting me," I said.

"No problem." I entered the house and chatted and laughed with people for a few hours. It was 11:54 and Aphmau and Garroth were arguing about feathers? I don't know. I headed over to tell them that it was almost midnight when everyone started cheering. It was a new year. I saw Kenmur and Emmalyn kiss. I gathered all my courage and kissed Garroth. He was surprised, but he surprised me by kissing back.

"Happy New Year Garroth," I said after we broke the kiss.

"Uhh... Happy New Year (Y/N)," he responded. "I wanted to ask you s-something. Will y-you be my girlfriend?"

"....." I was speechless. My crush asked me to be his girlfriend. "Yes!" I squealed and kissed him again. We hugged and enjoyed the rest of the night, err, morning.

<><><>Time Skip to 8 Months Later<><><>

It was my ninth date with Garroth, and I was nervous as always. I felt that tonight would be different than any other night, but how would I know. I had no reason to be nervous around the guy that loves me, but a billion what ifs raced through my head.

I had just finished getting dressed in a (F/C) dress with silver accents when the doorbell rang. I walked downstairs, took a deep breathe, and opened the door.

"Hey (Y/N)... You look beautiful. Are you ready?" Garroth asked while his cheeks were dusted with pink.

"I'm ready. Are you?" I replied, also faintly pink. Garroth nodded and we headed to the restaurant. We ordered our food and Garroth seemed especially nervous.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked, worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Garroth answered with the accent I fell in love with. Our food arrived and we started eating. We had finished and our dishes were cleared when Garroth did something unexpected. He got up out of his chair. He kneeled down in front of me and pulled a small velvet box out of his pocket. He opened it and I saw a beautiful ring.

"(Y/N), ever since the day I met you, I have loved you. I will always love you, and every time I see you I smile. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" Garroth proposed. I gasped.

"Garroth, yes! Yes! I love you," I said with tears in my eyes. We hugged, and I kissed him. I kissed my fiancé. He slipped the ring onto my finger and we sat down again. The whole restaurant was clapping.

"I love you Garroth."

"I love you too."

<><><>Time Skip to 1 Year<><><>

Today's the wedding! I've been waiting for forever for this. I've been engaged to my sweet, amazing, thoughtful, caring, and loving fiancé for a year. I can't believe that today is the day we become husband and wife!

Aphmau, Cadenza, Kawaii~Chan, and Katelyn were over helping me get ready. I haven't seen Garroth since yesterday because of the whole 24 hour wedding tradition thing, but I don't mind. I'm too nervous to even think about that. Cadenza helped me into the dress she made and Aphmau did my hair in a beautifully complex style. Kawaii~Chan did my makeup while Katelyn was trying to get me to loosen up. It worked a little. I had finished getting ready, and everyone else was ready as well, so we headed to the church. We were there early, and everyone was in a panic. Apparently, Laurance and Garroth weren't here yet. I tried calming everyone down. The wedding didn't start for another 45 minutes, so I wasn't worried. Time slowly crawled on, and Laurance and Garroth still weren't here. I was pacing when Dante and his date Nicole approached me. They looked upset.

"(Y/N), we're sorry," Dante said as Nicole started crying.

"What do you have to be sorry for? I don't get it," I responded, confused. What is going on? Are they implying something?

"It's..... It's about Garroth....... Someone ran into his car, and............. Laurance is in the hospital, but.... But..... I'm so sorry," Dante said, starting to cry. Tears welled in my eyes and my throat tightened. Really? Are they...... Are they implying....... Is he gone?

"(Y/N)........ Garroth died......" Nicole quietly said. She hugged me.

"W-What? No..... He..... He can't be....... Can he?" I said, tears threatening to fall. All Nicole did was hug me tighter. I started crying. Aphmau ran up to me and started hugging me, murmuring I'm sorry over and over. I started sobbing, loosing what little control I had. Why? Why did it have to be Garroth? Why him? Why today? Why, Irene, why? Everyone came to comfort me except the only one who could calm me down. The only one who loved me for me, was gone.

<><><>Time Skip to 3 Days<><><>

I was at Garroth's funeral. Everyone asked if I was okay, how I was coping, saying I'm sorry, over and over again. If only they knew what Garroth meant. If only they knew..... Aphmau came up to me and asked if I wanted to say anything. I shook my head no. I couldn't speak without crying, and how do you put to words the joy someone gives you for loving you? How do you put to words the greatness that was Garroth? How do you remember the good times when all you can see is the bad and darkness of losing a loved one? How can you?

We drove to the graveyard and I watched as dirt slowly covered Garroth's coffin. Silent tears streamed down my face. I was invited to a luncheon, but I refused. I headed home and crawled into bed. I burrowed under the covers and cried. I cried until I had no tears left, then I cried some more. I cried my heart out. I cried until I was too tired to cry. I fell asleep with teas still streaming from my eyes.

I dreamed I was on a beach. I felt the warm sand under my toes. I looked around, and saw Garroth smiling at me. He started coming over to me, but stopped. I tried getting to him, but I couldn't. Terror filled me, and tears threatened to fall. Garroth pounded on the glass, trying to get to me, but it was hopeless. I fell to the sand, leaning against the barrier. I was sobbing, and Garroth was just getting more and more frustrated. Garroth eventually gave up, falling to the floor in defeat. We gazed at each other, pain in both of our eyes. We stayed like that until I woke up, crying.

We can't even be together in my dreams. Irene must really hate me. She must want me to suffer. At least I'll suffer knowing that Garroth is in a better place........

I just wish I didn't have to wait so long to join him.

Or do I.........

.................Oh my Irene. The reason this is so sad for me is because Garroth might actually die. The reader's reaction to Garroth dying is based off of my reaction to thinking about Garroth dying. Anyway, I know pandastar888 wanted to cry, so I hope you like it. I'm still working on your request, as well as yours, swagmayodrop . I haven't forgotten. I've been sick and busy. I hope you enjoyed? What do I say with a sad story? Well, I'm out. Peace! 3104 words.
