the end

i woke up to find that Jesse wasn't lying next to me. i looked around and began to grow panicked. my hands fumbled through the sheets as i tried to remove myself from their tightness. my fingers brushed across a piece of paper and i grabbed it quickly. Devon, don't worry I'm downstairs making breakfast with my dad. come down when your ready. Jesse
i smiled and threw on some clothes racing down the steps feeling like a new person. "well good morning Devon!" i smiled brightly at Jesse's dad and picked up the plate he passed me. "sit honey and eat,you need your strength." "thanks Dr.graves." "no problem I'm off to work now. you two don't be late to school." "OK dad." Jesse called out. i turned to see her sitting on the couch. she smiled and ran over to me. we listened for the front door to close and she grabbed my face and kissed me. "how did you sleep?" "very well thank you. but why did you leave me?" "i had to so my dad wouldn't be suspicious. i don't want him to kick out my girlfriend." i smiled at the new term and felt like bursting. "I'm your..girlfriend?" Jesse smiled and kissed me again."yes you are baby and nothing is going to change that." she sat with me while i ate my food and then we left for school after i got dressed.
arriving at school was different now. i didn't pay attention to other people or try to interpret their intentions. i only focused on the person that was holding my hand. i dreaded having to part for classes but she was always there when i walked out of the door. we ate lunch together in her car and talked. i felt like there was always more i could learn about her. and i never wanted to stop learning she was like a good book you couldn't put down. like a drink of water that was way too good you couldn't stop drinking it. the best part of it all...was that she was mine and i never had to let go of her....no more fear..no more lost..no more sadness..no more destiny...from now on..it would forever be DEVON&JESSE
