In the month that had passed since we had started our relationship and every day I began to love her more and more, I began to wonder where my fears resided, and why i had them in the first place. We had often sat upon the same hill and stared at the stars, or the sunrise in the morning. I enjoyed every minute of my life and every minute with her just blurred everything else out of my mind. 

I knew that at the end of the month the prom was coming up, and i also knew that she would be expecting me to ask  her and i knew that i had to bite the bullet and set myself up for a fall. Why did i always think those thoughts?

As I was walking through the courtyard, I saw Autumn talking to David Aspell, a boy that was always picking on me and had always been interested in Autumn, as i stood behind the wall I could hear everything being said.

” So you wanna go to the prom with me?” David spoke to her, close to her face.

” I am sorry I can’t.”

” Why?”

” I already have someone that i am going with, sorry.”

Autumn walked away from David, leaving him standing angry.

” Why do you love him?” he shouted at her back, to which she turned around, with a dry smile on her face and said,

” Because he is the only one who has ever seen me for just me, and has understood me!”

” I would do that!”

” thing is though i don’t care!” she smiled and the turned her back, as David turned and walked passed me, i ran towards Autumn.

” Won’t you go to the prom with me?” 

As she turned around her lips stretched into a beautiful smile, ” Thought you would never ask!” 

” Is that a yes then?”

” Yeah I think it is.”

” I heard what you said to David.”

” Now who is spying?”

” You got me!” As I smiled and took her hand, I felt my heart skip a beat, why i had any doubts about asking her i would never know.

*                                            *                                             *                                                        *                              

It was the night of the prom, and as i stood in front of the mirror in my shirt and tie, i began to shake, my hands became unsteady, i had never felt this way about anyone. At six I would be picking her up and finally I would get my chance to show her how much she meant.

So at six i picked her up and as she walked outside she wore the most beautiful red dress, her hair pinned back with a few stray strands of hair falling over her face. As we walked hand in hand i was still shaking, but my hands were calming down and my nerves were calming too, but as i walked into the dance hall my nerves were once again surfacing. Everyone turned to look and they seemed to smirk a little and i knew why. This awesomely beautiful girl on my arm, even I could not believe it.

” What the hell have you brought with you?”

” Hey leave it!”

” Come on Autumn nothing can ruin to night and nothing will!”

After the dance we took a walk outside and in the cold night air, we kissed and as i took my jacket off to give it to her she wrapped herself in it and as we walked home huddled together i new that nothing would ever stop me feeling happy whilst i was with her.

Suddenly i heard music coming from another nearby dance hall and i pulled Autumn close to me. ” Come on lets have a proper dance” 

“What here?”

” why not?”

So we dance, right there on the pathway beside the rising moon and the glinting stars that shone in her hair and sparkled in her eyes, we laughed and spoke all night, our own private prom!

I was in love, true love and nothing would break us apart.
