I didn't talk to Zayden for the rest of the night. Not that I was mad at him, I just didn't know what else to say. I didn't sleep a wink that night and when I finally did my mom poked her head in. "Ashlynn, sweetie, Zayden's here to see you," she said. My mom liked Zayden. She was almost certain that we would end up together and she tried everything in her power to get us together. I didn't want to tell her that that wouldn't happen because the world would be ending soon. "Ok," I said not moving. I heard her as she walked down the steps and back to the front door. "Just go on up," she laughed. "Thank you," he replied. I heard his foot steps come up the steps. My heart raced with every step. Finally he was in my doorway. I sat up and scooted over patting the spot next to me. We sat on my bed with our backs against the wall. "Look," he began, "about yesterday, I'm so sorry that I blew up on you like that its just that..." I held up my hand, cutting him off. "Don't worry about it. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did," I said, running my fingers through my shoulder length hair. He nodded. We sat there for a moment. Finally he sighed. "You know, the only reason I told you is because I... I love you," he said. My heart raced again. I looked over at him and stared at him in bewilderment. Finally I laid my head on his shoulder. "I love you too," I said, taking his hand in mine,"and no matter what happens, wether we live or not, I always will." He squeezed my hand tightly. He got up. "Are you leaving already?," I asked. "Yeah I just came over to proclaim my love for you," he said. We both laughed. "Hang on," I told him. He stared at me waiting for me to finish. "Go down stairs and wait for me and DON'T leave," I said. He threw up his hands, "I won't I promise." After he was gone, I quickly got dressed and went down stairs. "Let's go," I said grabbing his hand. "Ok," he said. "Bye mom," I called out. She walked out of the kitchen and looked us and smiled, "Ok, I love you guys!"
