When She Became Mine

3. The Confession

"Hey Julie?"

"Yes?"

"I want to show you something."

"Ok go on..."

"Umm, well it's been a long time since I first met you. And I want you to know that we all love you. But one of us might love you just a little more than the others..."

I grab my guitar and start playing the song I've been working on.

This is just the beginning
I need you to know
That I love you
And I want to know
But I can't get over the feeling
If you would feel the same
And I wish I could let you know
But life's such a difficult game

This is me
You are you
And I accept
Whatever you do
But just know
That I can't hide
My love for you
I'll always be by your side

And we have us
It's all we've ever had
And sometimes I think
That I've gone mad
But you bring out
The best in me
And I have dreams
That you're my destiny
And I love you (2x)

So here I am
Singing to you
And I just think
That you are beautiful

So this is me
And you are you
And I accept
Whatever you do
But just know
That I can't hide
My love for you
And I'll always be by your side...

(End of song)

"I'm sorry, I know it's cringy bu-" She cuts me off and jumps onto me and kisses me.

"I love you too Luke! I just didn't know how to show it and I was worried that you wouldn't feel the same!"

I set her down and kissed her again, this time it was longer. Then we just hugged for several minutes.

We went over to my couch and sat down, with my arm around her. She laid her head on my shoulder and slowly drifted off to sleep. I wasn't too sleepy since it was still only 12:00. But I managed to drift off too.

I was awoken by a very happy Alex, screaming and jumping around.

"Whaaat", I say sleepily.

"You and Julie are finally together!"

"We aren't together, we are just sitting together, and sleeping...next...to...each...other." I say, surprised to see she is still there. I gently tap her shoulder with my free arm.

"Hey Julie", I say quietly, trying not to startle her.

"Hmm?", she says with heavy eyes.

"We've been sleeping here since 12:00." I say.

"What time is it?" She asks.

"Umm, well, it's uhh, 4:34."

Her eyes widen. "How could we let this happen!" She says worriedly. "Well, you fell asleep on my shoulder and I didn't want to wake you so I just stayed there, and I guess I drifted off too..."

"Oh, sorry I got mad..." She says, starting to cry. "No, no! It's ok! Really! You don't have to be sorry." I don't do well with crying girls, but with Julie, it feels right, sitting there comforting her.
