OKAY SO I DIDN'T FALL DOWN A MOUNTAIN.

And I didn't hit anything.

It took a while for me to learn, but now I am okay with skiing.

Don't get me wrong.

I did fall a couple times, but that was all in the children's area so I don't think it counts.

"So what are we doing tomorrow for our anniversary?" I asked Brent who was standing at the stove. I was sitting on the island, watching him cook a grilled cheese.

Yes, we are having grilled cheese for dinner. We are exhausted after skiing all day, and this seems like an easy option.

"Well, I may have something up my sleeve," Brent replied, flipping the grilled cheese.

"Okay so I was thinking and I think we should start watching The Originals," I suggested, kicking my feet back and forth.

"Isn't that the one with Klaus?" He asked, putting the grilled cheese on a plate.

I nodded,"Yes."

"Or we could do something more fun," Brent said, handing me a plate with a grilled cheese. He set his plate down beside me, and he rested his elbows on the island.

"Like what?" I asked before taking a bite of my food.

"We can go star gazing."

"That is an awesome idea!" I exclaimed after swallowing my food.

"We'll go after we finish eating," Brent told me as he took a bite of his grilled cheese.

After we finished eating, we gathered blankets, and we put on our jackets and shoes. We walked out of the cabin, and we put a blanket down on the hood of Martha's car.

Then Brent picked me up, and he put me on the hood before getting up on it. We laid our backs on the windshield, and we stared at the stars.

Thousands of stars were littered across the sky. The moon was half way lighted, and it shone brightly against the stars.

Brent wrapped an arm around my shoulders, and I rested my head on his chest.

"It doesn't matter how many times I see them they still blow me away every time," Brent said, talking about the stars.

"They are extraordinary," I replied, playing with Brent's hand.

"I have something for you," Brent told me a few minutes later.

"Brent," I warned,"We aren't suppose to give each other our anniversary gifts until tomorrow."

"We'll, technically, I already gave this to you," Brent said, sitting up on the hood.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I sat up. Brent pulled a small ring box from his pocket. He opened the box, and I stared in awe at the ring.

It was a silver ring with two small hearts. Diamonds were in the band and the two hearts.

"Your old one was ruined in the crash so I got you another one," Brent explained, taking the ring out of the box.

"It's beautiful," I commented as he slid the ring on my ring finger.

"But with this one, there is a new promise," Brent said, making me look up at him.

He continued,"I promise to protect you and your heart. After you fell down the stairs, I realized that you have been through a lot in one year. You lost your dad, you have been bullied, you were attacked by Jax twice, you were attacked by Malcom, you were in a car crash, you lost your memory, we broke up twice, and you fell down a flight of stairs."

A tear slid down my cheek. I really have been through hell this past year. We both have.

"Brent, you have been shot and almost shot trying to protect me. Your parents weren't ever home, and you became sober. You were also in that car accident. We both went through a lot this past year," I said, holding his hands.

"That's true, but before I met you, I was an asshole. I didn't care about anybody except the Cades and Maya. But when I met you, you brought out the best of me and I owe you the world for that," Brent said, rubbing my hands with his thumbs.

Before I could say anything, Brent said,"Wait right here. I was going to do this tomorrow, but I think it would be more special now."

He climbed off the hood of the car, and we went inside, leaving me outside. Brent came back a few moments later with a wooden guitar in his hands.

"I didn't know you could play guitar," I said as he sat back down on the hood.

"I don't, but for the last couple weeks, I have been learning off the internet," he replied with a proud smile.

Then he tuned it, brushing his fingers against the chords. Once he had it in tune, he started playing a soft melody.

*. start the song.

I was a boat stuck in a bottle
That never got the chance to touch the sea
Just forgot on the shelf
No winds in the sails
Going nowhere with no one but me

I knew Brent had a good voice, but he sounds even better right here. His voice was soothing and calm and it made me happy. We stared in each other's eyes, and he had a smile on his face.

I was one in a one hundred-billion
A burned out star in a galaxy
Just lost in the sky wondering why
Everyone shines out but me

But I came alive when I first kissed you
The best me has his arms around you
You make me better than I was before
Thank God I'm yours

Happy tears sprang to my eyes, but I didn't let them fall. This is the most romantic thing Brent has ever done. Brent played the melody for a few seconds before going into the next verse.

I was a worn out pair of shoes
Wandering the city streets
Another face in the crowd
Head looking down
Lost in the sounds of a lonely melody

Empty pockets at a roulette
Always landing on a lost bet
Just live for the spin and hope for the win
Go in all to just to lose again

But I came alive when I first kissed you
The best me has his arms around you
You make me better than I was before
Thank God I'm yours

The worse me is a long gone memory
You put a new heartbeat inside of me
You make me better than I was before
Thank God I'm yours

Brent played the guitar, and I couldn't stop smiling.

I was a boat stuck in a bottle
That never got the chance to touch the sea
I came alive when I first kissed you
The best me has his arms around you
You make me better than I was before
Thank God I'm yours

The worse me is a long gone memory
You put a new heartbeat inside of me
You make me better than I was before

Thank God I'm yours
Thank God I'm yours
Thank God I'm yours

Brent hit the last note, effortlessly. For somebody who has been learning how to play a guitar for past couple weeks, he is doing amazing.

Thank God I'm yours

He played the last couple chords before the song ended.

"Brent, that was beautiful. I loved it. Thank you," I thanked him as he set the guitar down.

"I'm glad you love it. This is the only song I can play on the guitar," Brent replied, pushing his hair back.

"I love you so much," I said, softly.

"I love you, too," he told me.

I'm ready.

I'm ready to give myself to Brent.

And it's not because he sung me a song.

Brent loves me with all of his heart, and I to him. He won't just use me for my body then push me aside. I can see a future with him.

I can see our wedding. I can see the house he is going to build for me, and I can see our kids and our two dogs running around in the front yard. I can see it so clearly.

Brent is the one.

He is the one I want to grow old with.

I leaned over to him, and I kissed him on the lips. He kissed back, and I moved so I was sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me, and the kiss deepened.

His tongue exploded my mouth, and I ran my hand through the back of his hair.

"Brent.." I said as we pulled apart. "I'm ready."

"You sure? I don't want you to feel pressured-..." he started, but I cut him off by another kiss on the lips.

When I pulled I said,"I'm ready. I promise that I'm fully ready."

"As long as you are okay with it," Brent replied, making me nod.

I got off his lap, and I slid off the hood. He followed me, but he didn't slid. We held hands as we walked inside.

My heart was beating quickly as we walked up the stairs. I'm a tad bit nervous, but I know Brent will be gentle.

As soon as we walked into the room, Brent picked me up, and he kissed me on the lips once more.

He kicked the door shut with his foot, and we fell onto the bed.
