Silent night, let me sleep away these memories within.

I looked over at Mari while she sleep softly. Snores escaping her mouth. She had sleep apnea but refused to believe that she snored.It was cute, yes, her super loud choking snores were adorable to me. I pulled her closer to my side and kissed her cheek softly. She opened her eyes slightly and looked over at me. God was she perfect. She was my angel on earth.

"Let's do something," I said suddenly.

"It's two thirty in the morning," she laughed.

"And?"

"Let me get dressed."

I watched as she crawled out of bed and pulled sweat pants up. She was so gorgeous, even dressed like that. I sat on the edge of the bed and I watched her braid her hair. I smiled to her once she was done. I grabbed her hand and lead her outside. The weather was harsh, it was kind of cold. I shrugged of my hoodie and laid it over her shoulders. She looked up at me and smiled softly.

"Where are we going Jay," she asked.

"Nowhere special," I said.

"Everywhere is special with you."

This beautiful tragedy is crashing into me, this dying destiny.

I couldn't help but stare at her as I was stopped at the light. I grabbed her hand and intertwined out fingers. I pulled into the McDonalds parking lot and she laughed softly. It was one of the few places open at this hour. I took her hand and led her into the building. She laughed as I got us both ice cream. It wasn't much but it was enough.

"Mari, I love you," I whispered.

"Jay, you've said that every day," she blushed.

"I don't want you to forget that."

"I don't think I ever could."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I couldn't help but stare at her. She had her glasses perched on her nose. She had a sports bra on with my hoodie covering most of her torso. My sweat pants hung loosely on her tiny hips. She was so perfect to me. What had I done to deserve her.

"Am I really that beautiful," she asked.

"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," I whispered.

She smiled at me and threw her arms around my neck. She kissed me softly before pulling away to get the food, which was ready. I couldn't take my eyes off of her as she left. I wouldn't have her anyway else. I wanted to show her off, even if it were the last time. I wanted to show the world that she was mine and no one else could have her. The most beautiful girl in the world belonged to me and everyone could back off. I needed to do it.

Will you be there by my grave or will you be the death of me?

Notes

I felt like there needed to be something cute with how sad all these chapters have been. I won't be updating anything tomorrow because I'm in Charlotte all day and I'm excited. I get to see Train :) My friend and I are going to watch Straight To DVD before we leave so that's even better.

Okay, so like I'm like best friends with my ex and he is the most complicating guy ever. He and I flirt (it means nothing) but then like he gets all deep and personal and then the next day takes back one of his other ex girlfriends and I'm just like what? There's a reason I just don't date. That's why. People are confusing.
