Drew's POV again.
**********************************************************************
I was so happy. He told me he
loved me. I wanted to jump up
and hug him. He loved him so much. I wondered who Wayne's new
boyfriend was. I'm glad they were just rebounding off each other.
I
was happier than a pig in mud. I smiled at him. Then I got
scared.
What if it's a lie?? I thought. I looked up at him, tears
streaming
down my cheek. Why?? I ask him softly. He smiles at me, he has a
beautiful smile.
"It's like this Drew,"
he starts, "In my eyes, you're a great
guy. You're smart and you're funny. You're a success and people
love
you. In my eyes, everybody deserves to be happy. Especially you.
I
know you've been hurting and I'll change that. I will. I promise,
you'll never be sad again. I'll be here to wipe away your tears.
I'll
wake up with you. I'll never leave you alone; I won't leave you
hanging in the dark. Ever. I love you." I smile at
him. He smiles
back. He has tears in his eyes. The tears of joy and hope. I'm
crying
too. He comes over and kisses my tears away. I know he loves me
now;
I love him back just the same. I stand up and hug him.
"I love you Chip, more than
the world." I say.
"I love you just the same
Drew," he says back. I pull him in
for a kiss. Not a thing can go wrong when he is in my arms. This
is a
beginning of a new life for me. My life never started out so
good.
