I fell in Love With Mickey Mouse
(literally)
Chapter # 46
Please,
I took a deep breath. There was a choice to be made, I could run after Roger or I could call Michael. Either way, I would end up hurting one of them, which, would hurt me. I guess I had to figure out who was worth suffering for. I had to figure out how to make the right choice, and lately I hadn't been doing that.
"Roger! come back." I got up and ran after him.
The cool California air swept my hair back, my eyes scanned the park and they couldn't find him. He must've gone to his suite. I walked next door and banged my fist on his door.
"Roger, please...open the door." I begged
He flung the door open and sniffed. I didn't know what to do, I just got on my tip toes and clung on to his neck. He hugged me back and inhaled my damp hair.
"Please, don't do this to me." I cried
"I'm not doing anything, your Michael is doing it. I haven't hurt you once, and I've known you since we were like five. He's only known you for about a week and look what he's done to you. He'll end up destroying you." Roger said
I wished I could argue with him. But, he was right.
"What am I supposed to do about it?" I cried
"Forget him, he's just going to hurt you." He said
"I want to, but I don't think I can..." I breathed
He pulled me back and looked straight into my eyes.
"I can help you." He said.
His forehead was against mine. I gazed into his dark twinkling eyes, my nails were slowly digging into his flesh. I felt his warm breath on my cold lips.
"I really, really want to touch you." He whispered.
I closed my eyes.
"I want to....God, I want to kiss you." He breathed.
I slid my hand down his chest and it was almost like I could feel his heart beat.
"Please...." He blew.
I tried pulling back, but, he pushed forward.
"If you had a single clue about what's going on inside of me. You wouldn't torture me like this." He said.
If you knew what was going on inside of me, you wouldn't try to kiss me. I thought. I felt bewildered, like I was high. I couldn't think straight, and Rogers words had me on top of the world.

eploge:
The next couple of weeks were hectic, trying to get everything ready for Sam's wedding. Which went off without a hitch. Nothing went wrong. Thank God. Drake's trial was a week after the wedding, and he got senticened to life without porol. We all relaxed after that. He couldnt hurt me anymore. Jackson finally offically asked me to be his girlfriend, and of course I said yes.After all of this had happened I got a big shock.
Sam and Dave set me down at the kitchen table a few weeks after the wedding and look at me seriously. I was worried something bad had happened.
"Lyra" Sam started, " We've been thinking, and we both agreed that if you want to, we would like to adopte you."
I just stared at her.
"A..adopt me?" I asked.
"Yes." dave said. "We want you to be our daughter. I want you to be my daughter."
I smiled.
"So what do you say?"
"I say, yes!" Sam laughed and started crying, but hugged me so tight I couldnt breath.Then Dave hugged me even tighter. We celibrated that day. JAckson came over and we took a walk. We ended up going to our playground. I sat on the swings. Jackson sat next to me.
This is where it all began. At this playground, where I laughed for the first time in Three years. All because of the boy sitting next to me. If it werent for him, I wouldnt be talking, drake would never have been arrested, and my life would be so different.
I got up and hugged him. He seem surprised but hugged me back.
"Thank you so much Jackson. If it weren't for you my life would be completely different."
He stood up and kissed me.
"I love you Lyra" he said simply.
"I love you too JAckson."
Mom was right, laughter can fix anything. Even my messed up life. I kept my promise and found someone to love. I guess I dont need my mom anymore, I have a new family. But i'll never forget her. She is after all, my mom.
Thank you guys soooo much for reading this and sticking with me. You guys are amazing! I want to give a very big thanks to
hasoxtina for helping me with this. So this book is now over. Kinda sad, but oh well now I can start a new one. I love you guys so much. -savannah

chapter 21:
When I had finished my story, Anthony looked at me and said simply,
"I believe you Lyra." He sighed. "I cant believe my son did this monsterous thing, but i believe you. You have never lied to me before." He wrote a few things down and stood up. "Thank you for your corroperation. I'll deal with this and call you when he is brought in. And he will be brought in." He nodded to us and then left.
We all sat in silence after he left. No one knew what to say.
"Thank you." I said calmly. No more tears. "Thank you for listening, and thank you for call the police. I dont think i ever would have done this on my own."
Sam came over and hugged me at the same time Jackson hugged me. They hit heads. I giggled. Jackson stepped away and let Sam hug me. She did. Then Dave came over and hugged me too. I smiled at them and then looked at the clock. It was one o'clock. I cant believe it took that long for all of the confessing to happen.
I stood up.
"Guys, this has been fun and all, but im taking a shower. And I suggest we all do." They all agreed and we went to find showers. There are only three bathrooms so only three showers. Sam and I got the showers in our rooms and Dave got the shower downstairs, Jackson just had to wait.
I turned the water as hot as I could stand it and jumped in. I stood under the soothing spray for a minute before washing my hair. I rinsed the shampoo out and let the water work on my tense muscles. After a good 20 min shower, I got out and dried off. I pulled on a tshirt and a pair of stretchy shorts. The day is barely half way over and its already been so stressful. There was no point in trying to make myself look good, so I bypassed the makeup and just let my hair hang down. I found Dave and Sam in the living room watching a movie.
I sat down on the couch next to Sam and watched the movie with them. They were watching Finding Nemo, Dave's favorite movie. Jackson walked into the room barefoot and with a wet head. He grinned at me. I smiled back and patted the seat next to. He sat down and wrapped an arm around me. We all watched the movie in silence. I think everyone was to afraid to talk. I think they were afraid to say something and afriad the police wouldnt get to drake before he got to me. The movie was almost over when the phone rang. We all jumped when it rang. Sam got up and answered it.
She talked for a minute, before saying thank you and hanging up. She turned around and smiled at me.
"Drake is now in jail. His own father brought him in."
I smiled and Jackson hugged me tight.
"See. I told you it would all work out."
One more chapter yall then its over! Im sorry if this one wasnt that great my cat wouldnt let me type. I also want to apolojize if the story wne to fast exspecally the ending. I just wanted to finish this story. Just the eploge then its done! :)

chapter 20:
"Drake...Drake murdered my mom, and he promised to murder me too if i told anyone."
They all stared at me as if they couldnt believe this was true. Sam was the first to recover. She stood up.
"Lyra, is this true?" I nodded my head. "Drake really murdered you mother?" She sounded like she didnt believe me.
"Lyra?" Jackson asked, "Where you there when it happened?"
Again I nodded.
"Dr...Drake was mad at me. I wouldnt listen to him.Wouldnt do what he wanted me to do. I tried breaking up with him that night. He came to the house in a rage. He had a gun. He pointed at me and fired but mom jummped in the way. She got shot, and Drake let me live so he could come after me again. He wants me to live in fear." By this point I was in tears. Sam and Jackson both moved to comfort me, but i moved away so they couldnt. Dave was just sitting, trying to absorb everything I had said.
"Drake said I was worthless. I didnt deserve to live, but he let me. He killed my mother then threatened me. He said if I ever told anyone, he would come and kill me too. But he said my death would be worse than my mother's. He left and i called the police. I held mom until she died. I told her I was sorry. Sorry I had ever dated such a monster. She died minutes before the police got there. They asked me what happened. I told them a guy with a mask came in and shot her. They believed me. The case eventually went cold. They never knew the murder was a senior in their highschool.
"Drake left the next year and when i didnt hear anything else about him, I thought he was gone. But now I guess he isnt." I was still crying. Dave jummped up and ran to grab the phone.
"Dave what are you doing?!" I screamed at him.
"Lyra. We have to tell the police. Drake murdered your mother. And now hes after you. We're not just gonna sit here until he kills you too."
"But-" I tried to fight him on it, but Jackson came over and wrapped his arms around me.
"Let it go Ly." He whispered in me ear. "Let it go."
Dave started dialing. Sam walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his arm.
"Hello? Yes. Theres been a murder. And now he's after my daughter." Dave said to the person on the phone.
"I dont want to hear this." I told Jackson. He nodded and lead me up to my room. He shut the door behind us. I sat down on my bed. Jackson came and sat next to me. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me to him. I curled up into his side and let a few tears escape. He noticed them.
"Lyra. Its going to be okay. It'll all work out. You have me and Dave here to protect you. Your safe. We all love you Lyra." he kissed the top of my head. I stopped crying.
Did he just say he loved me?
I looked up at him, a confused but hopeful look on my face. He looked at me, and he knew exactly what I was thinking. He smile softly.
"Yes, Lyra. I just said I love you." Then he kissed me gently. I pulled back and burried my face in his side. A big smile was plastered to my face.
Someone knocked on my door and then Sam walked in.
"Lyra, hunny, the police are here. They want to talk to you."
I nodded and stood up. JAckson stood up with me and wrapped his arm around my waist. Sam smiled sadly at me, squeazed my hand, then walked down the stairs. We followed.
I really didnt want to talk to the police about what happened, but if it meant that that monster would be behind bars, then i would do anything. We walked into the kitchen and i gasped.
Anthony, Drake's father was the cop there in the kitchen. How was I gonna tell him that his son is a phycopath.
He smiled at me, and I tried to smile back. He motioned for me to sit down. I sat, and he sat too. JAckson stood be hind my seat.
"Lyra," he began, "Do you know who killed your mother?"
I nodded, close to tears again.
"Who was it then?"
"I'm sorry Anthony." I said, " it is Drake."
"What? My Drake?"
I nodded.
"Tell him what you told us Ly." Jackson said.
So I did. I told him what I told my family.
I posted another chapter. My brother hogged the computer all night. So sorry i couldnt post this last night. I'll try to post another chapter today. Thank you guys for reading. You guys are amzing.

chapter 19:
I woke up to the sound of snoring in my ear. I turned my head to the right and saw Jackson fast asleep on my head, his face in my ear, my head was on his shoulder. I gently turned my head to the left. Sam and Dave were in a similar position, except her head was on his chest. They were both still asleep. I tried to get up but discovered Jackson's arms were wrapped around me. I gently unwrapped his arms and stood up. He shifted slightly but didnt wake up. I turned off the t.v and walked into the kitchen. I poured me a glass of water and walked back into the living room. Sam was working her way out of Dave's arms. When she had worked her way out she turned around and smiled at me. She tiptoed over to me and grabbed my hand.
"Come on." She whisperd leading me upstairs. We went into her room and she shut the door. I sat down her bed.
"So," she started, " you and Jackson..." she trailed off
"Me and Jackson what?"
Are you two," she hooked her fingers together, "together?"
I swear she is so nosy. She gossips like a teenage girl.
"I dont know. We just kissed."
"Do you want to be together?"
" Of course I want us to be together!" I exclaimed standing up and walking across the room.
"Then why arent you?"
"I dont know." She stood up and wrapped an arm around my waist.
"I think he wants to be with you too."
"Sam?"
"Yes."
"I know he wants to be with me. He kissed me. Thats why I dont know."
She gave me a squez. "Come on. I think i hear the guys."
"Lyra?" she asked as i was about to go downstairs. I turned to her. "Im so glad your talking again."
I smiled "Me too."
We walked down stairs and found the guys in the kitchen. Jackson was setting the table and Dave was making walffles. They smiled at us when we walked in.
"Where'd ya girls go?" Dave asked us.
"Oh just a little girl talk." Sam said wrapping her arms around Dave, and kissing him on the lips.
"Really?" he questioned smirking.
"Mmmhmm."
Jackson came over to me and kissed my cheek.
"Good morring beautiful." he said.
I blushed, and finished setting the table for him. I looked up and Sam gave me a wink before sitting down at the table. We all sat down and Dave put the waffles on the table. Everyone grabbed some and we dug in. I looked at everyone. Noones hair was brushed. So it went in all sorts of directions, even the guys's hair. Sam's was particually bad. I started giggleing. Everyone gave me cunfused looks which made me giggle even more.
"What?" Jackson asked.
I pointed at them. "Your hair!" I managed to say inbetween giggles. Jackson looked at the others and started chuckleing. Dave and Sam coppied him, soon following with laughs of their own. I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. It seemed like all of this had started because of laughter. Jackson got me laughing that first day, which lead to me talking, Dave proposing, and us kissing. I guess mom was right. Laughter does heal you. I looked at my faimily and I suddenly knew. I had to tell them the truth about Drake.
I took a deep breath, hating to ruin the moment.
"Guys I have to tell you something. Something about Drake, and my mother. Drake... Drake murdered my mom."
I have to give the computer to my brother but hopefully i can post the next chapter tonight if not ill try to post it tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

CHAPTER 18:
Sam and Dave were already waiting in the living room for us. Sam didnt look very happy either. I guess Dave did the same thing to her that Jackson did to me.
"Ready?" Dave asked.
"No." i muttered while jackson said yes. We all piled into Dave's red jeep and headed to the river. The closer we got the more excited i got. I had beed a few years since I had last been to the river. The last time was the summer before mom died. Jackson looked at me and smiled. He could tell i was getting excited about going to the river now. After about a ten minute drive, we pulled up at the river. I guess we picked a good day to go, because there was nobody else here. We all got out and walked down to the river.
I took a deep breath and took in the smell of the river. I exhaled and smile, I i peeled off my shirt and shorts and ran barefoot into the river. When i hit the water, i shivered. I had forgotten how cold this river could be.
Jackson jumped in next to me and splashed me. I splashed him back. He tried to splash me, but ended up splashing Sam.
"Sam im sorr-"
She splashed him back, then Dave got in on the splashing, and it turned into an all out water war. Everyone was against everyone. And everyone was having a great time. We were all splashing each other and chokeing each other with water, and laughing and smileing. I moved away from the others and just watched them. Dave was splashing Jackson and Sam jumped on Dave's back. He fell backwards and they both went under. They came up laughing and gasping for air. Jackson came over and stood in front of me. He smiled at me. I smiled back, then hugged him. He laughed and hugged me back.
"Thank you for getting me out of the house. This is so much fun."
"Your welcome. Besides its good to see you laughing and smileing this much."
"Its good to be laughing and smileing this much."
We both laughed.
I ducked around him started makeing my way over to help sam who was being tickled by Dave. Jackson hooked and arm around my waist stopping me.
"Dont. I think she deserves it."
"Why do you think that?" I asked crossing my arms.
He smiled. "Because you deserve it too." Then he started tickleing me with one hand but still had the other wrapped around me so i couldnt escape.I screamed and tried splashing him, but he just started tickleing me even more. By now i was gasping for air from laughing and screaming so much. Jackson started laughing, and soon he was laughin so hard he couldnt tickle me anymore. He let me go and i dove under the water, and came up a few feet away. I looked for Dave and Sam. They we're sitting on a towle drying off. Jackson had calmed down and was now after me again. I shrieked and tried to run away, but the water was past my waist and slowed me down. He grabbed me from behind and tickled my sides. I turned around. His face was inches from mine. We were both breathing hard from laughing again. He wasnt laughing now. His huge grin was gone, replace with a serious expression. He closed the last few inches and gently pressed his lips to mine. His lips were so soft and gentle. I kissed him back. He smiled and pulled away. He searched my eyes.
"You didnt run away this time." he wishpered.
I shook my head and smiled.
"I'm really glad i came now." I whispered.
"Me too." he said and pressed his lips to mine again.
"Okay kids, thats enough." Dave called out. We pulled away, and smiled. Jackson chukled.
"Why dont you guys come eat?" Sam asked. I stepped away from Jackson and started toward Sam. He captured my hand and walked beside. We walked out of the river dripping wet. Sam threw towles at us.
"Blot dry before you come over here." She said. "I dont want the food getting wet."
I dried off my arms and legs before going and sitting on the picnic table. Jackson did the same and then sat next to me. Sam put turkey sandwiches in front of us. I grabbed a bottle of water from the center of the table. I picked up my sandwhich and looked at Jackson.
"This seems familar." he said grinning. I nodded agreeing.
"Except we were covered in food not water." I said.
He nodded and bit into his sandwhich.
We finished eating and then spent the rest of the day at the river. When the sun started setting we packed up and headed home. We all changed, and met in the living room.
"I vote for a movie night." Dave said.
"Okay, but i get to pick out the movie." I said.
He nodded so i walked over to the movies and grabbed The Lion King. I handed it to Sam and she put it in then we all calapsed onto the couch. Dave was at on end, sam next to him, Jackson was at the other me next to him. The movie started and he put and arm around me. We were at the part where Simba sings I just cant wait to be king, when i fell asleep. I think everyone ended up falling asleep.
I got inspired. Hope you guys liked it. I think theres only gonna be a few more chapters then ill end it and post another one. Tell me what yall think. Thanks for reading. You guys are amazing.

CHAPTER 17:
Its been a week and we havent heard anything else from Drake. Sam and I have hardly left the house. We've been busy planning her wedding. Dave and Jackson come over everyday and try to get us out and to take a break, but we're in a planning zone. I wanted my guardian's wedding to be perfect, exspecaily since I messed up her engagement night.
"Lyra!" someone shouted in my ear. I jerked up and nearly slammed into to Jackson. I glared at him.
"What are you doing sleeping at the kitchen table?" he asked. "Again?"
"I was not sleeping. I was resting my eyes."
"Yeah all night. You were sleeping."
"What are you doing here?" I asked getting up and walking over to the sink. He followed me and leaned against the counter.
"Im here to give you" he pointed at me, "A break."
I turned around and looked at him. "I dont need a break." I said, "Now im going to my room."
He followed me all the way to my room, almost stepping on my heels. I got to my door and turned around to face him.
"Yes you do need a break. You havent left this house in over a week." I heard Dave say to Sam.
Jackson smirked. "My thoughts exactly."
"If i agree, will you let me get dressed in peace?"
He smiled in victory.
"Yes."
"Fine. I'll go. Happy now?"
He looked very pleased with himself.
"Yes I am." He shoed me into my room. "Now go get dressed."
I shut my door on his face and locked it. I sighed. This wedding planning takes a lot of work. And it aint even my wedding. I dread when im old enough and have to plan my own wedding.
I walked over to my closet and pulled out a pair of bluejean shorts and a plain, blue t-shirt. I through those on and slipped my tennis shoes on, through my hair up in a pony tale, and unlocked my door. Jackson came in. I flopped down on my bed and looked at him. He was wearing blue swimming shorts, and a grey t-shirt with sandles. He looked at me.
"Yoyr wearing the wrong outfit." he said walking over to my closet. He dug around it a bit before comming out with my blue/green two pice swimsuit. He smiled at me.
"Jackson." i whinned. "Please tell me we're not going swimming."
He grinned at me, "Yep!"
"Ugh!"
He through the swimsuit at my face.
"Come on, get dressed. We're going swimming!"
He pulled my off the bed and pushed me toward my bathroom.
"Hurry up now." He said as he shut the door.
"Great" i muttered to myself. "I dont need i break. Im perfectly fine. I dont want to go swimming, i need to plan this wedding." I sighed and threw my closes on over my swimsuit. I walked out of the bathroom, and saw Jackson staring at mt pictures. I walked up behind him. He smiled softly at me and said just as softly,
"Your mother was beautiful. I can easily see why your so pretty."
I blushed and turned away from him.
"Are we going swimming or not?" I asked trying to draw the conversation in a different direction.
"Yeah we are. Come on." he said putting his arm around my shoulder and forcing me to go with him.
Thanks! :)

Chapter 16:
We were all sitting around the kitchen table. Jackson was staring at me, silently willing me to tell him what happened between me and Drake. I looked up at him, then my gaze woundered around the table until i met everyone's eyes. I sighed.
"Drake," i started in a soft wispher, "is my ex boyfriend.We dated for a few months, then he started to abuse me.He would hit me and kick me and take all his anger out on me. It got so bad that i had to go to the hospital one time. They thought mom abused me and they threatened to take me away from her. I made her promise not to tell anyone about him. He..." I shook my head. i couldnt say anymore. I couldnt tell them my secret about drake. He would kill me if i told anyone.
Jackson put a hand on my arm.
"Its okay Ly. You dont have to tell us right now." He said softly.
"But i have to tell you." I said almost urgently.
"Its okay lyra. You can tell us when ever you feel like it." Sam said comming around the table to hug me.
I just sat still while she hugged me, not bothering to hug back. When she pulled away, she had a sad look on her face.
"I'm sorry." I whispered, wiping tears from my eyes. "I'm going to bed."
I got up and walked swiftly to my room before the tears could come. Once my door was locked firmly behind me, they came. In gut renching sobs. I had to cover my face with a pillow to drown them out. I dont know how long i cried, but by the time i was finished, i felt drained. I pulled the blankets over my head, curled into a ball, and fell asleep.
---
I woke up the next morring to the smell of bacon. I slowly got out of bed and climbed down the stairs. Dave was at the stove barefooted wearing only pajama bottoms. When i entered the kitchen, he turned around and smiled at me.
"Good morring." he said.
I smiled slightly and poured myself a glass of apple juice, and sat down. Dave sat a plate of bacon and pancakes in font of me. I picked up some bacon and slowly ate. I was almost done by the time Sam finally came downstairs. She smiled at me and stoole my last piece of bacon. I smiled back then i dropped my plate in the sink and ran upstairs to get dressed. By the time i made it back downstairs, Jackson was there, helping himself to the bacon. I grabbed my glass of apple juice and sat down agian. Once i was seated Sam said,
"Lyra, i was wondering if you would like to me my maid of honor?"
I smiled real big. "Yes" i said excidedly.
"And Jackson," Dave started, " since i wouldnt even be engaged without your help, would you be my best man?"
"Yes" Jackson replied with a smile.
"When is the wedding?" I aksed.
"i think we decided for in a month. Nothing really big. Just friends and family. And Lyra, I'll need your help planning it."
I looked at Jackson. He smiled at me, i smiled back.
"Of course." We said at the same time.

chapter 15
I stared at the man walking slowly toward us. I stared at him wide eyed and scared.
Drake.
I couldnt breathe.
"Lyra whats wrong?" Jackson asked concerned.
I couldnt speak. I shook my head, and got out. Drake was almost to us now. I turned and half ran for the door in the garage.
"Hey babe aint ya gonna say hi?" A low deep creepy voice said.
I froze again. My heart was beating so fast in fear.
How did he find me?
A hand grabbed my shoulder and yanked me around. Drake's face was inches from mine. He had an evil sneer on his lips.
"I asked if you were gonna say hi." He said again in a low menacing voice. I shook my head.
"Oh thats right. You cant talk. You freak." I beat at his chest trying to get away from him, but his arms were wrapped to tightly around me.
Suddenly i was being yanked away and thrown into Sam's protecting arms. I looked up. Jackson stood between me and Drake.
"Leave her alone!" Jackson said in a low threating voice.
Drake laughed.
"What are you, her body guard."
Dave stepped up. "I am."
Drake looked at them both and held his hands up in surrender.
"Fine I get it. I'll leave. See ya around babe!" he shouted jumping on his bike and speeding away.
As soon as he was gone, i broke down in tears. Sam held me while i cried. When i could breathe again, dave asked gently,
"Lyra, who was that?"
I looked up at him with my tear stained face and said,
"Drake. My ex-boyfriend."
Please ignore the spelling errors. Thank you so much for reading. Id love to hear what you guys think of my story so far. Love you guys.

chapter 13:
Get her to say yes, check.
I pulled back and Dave stared at me. He pointed at me and said slowly,
"You...talked?" almost like a question.
I nodded my head yes.
"How...when?"
I pointed to Jackson, and said,
"He helped me. I honestly dont know how, but he helped me."
Sam wrapped an darm around my waist and took Jackson's hand.
"Thank you so much Jackson Reed. You saved my girl." She said to him almost in tears.
He smiled at her crookedly and said, "Anytime. Im glad i could help."
"Guys, just so you know im not ready to talk to anyone but you three yet. Okay? So dont tell anyone else. Talking is still kinda new to me. Its still kinda hard."
Sam tightened her grip around me. "I know it will be."
Dave sighed. "We should probly start cleaning this mess up huh?" Dave asked. But Sam shook her head.
"Nope. The kids will. ME and you are going for a walk."
She let go of me, hooked her arm through Dave's and walked away, leaving me and Jackson to clean up the picnic mess.
Well, that was nice of her, huh." Jackson said sarcastily.
I nodded. "Well we better get started."
I worked on the plates while Jackson started on the decorations.
"I think it turned out quiet nice, dont you think?" Jackson said.
I stopped working and looked at him.
"Yeah, it did." I said a soft smile on my face.
He nodded. "Yeah. she said yes, nobody choked on the food, your talking more. Over all its been a pretty good day."
"Mmmhmm. And plus school is out. Now we dont have to deal with that crap."
"Yep." He was quiet for a minute. "Lyra, would you-?"
He didnt get to finish his question, because Sam an Dave came back just then, luaghing like crazy.
"This has been a great day." She said. "Too bad it has to end. Come on guys, it'll be dark soon."
We packed everything up and headed home. It was a quiet ride back to the house. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts. I leaned my head back against the window and closed my eyes. It had been a long day. But al least it had a happy ending.
We pulled into the drive and there was a very familier person sitting on the front pourch. He stood up. I froze.
Not a happy ending after all.

Chapter: 12
"You what?!" i shouted, before I clamped my hands over my mouth.
Dave looked at me and said shocked, 'Did you just.... OH forget it, yes i lost it.!"
"Dave!"
"Sorry!"
"uh guys?" Jackson said.
"What?" I said angry.
Jackson pionted at me. "You gave me the ring for safe keeping."
"I did?"
"Yes."
I smaked my forhead.
"Whoops, Im so stupid."
Sam stepped in front of me.
"Whats all this about a ring?" she asked.
Dave took the ring from Jackson and knelt in front of Sam, who covered her mouth with her hand. Dave looked up at her shyly.
"This didnt really go as palnned, but will you marry me? I Promise-" he didnt get anu farther before Sam threw herself at Dave and kissed him.
"Yes! Of course I'll marry you Dave. I love you."
Dave pulled her close. "I love you too Sam."
JAckson looked at me and i at him. Then we cheered as loud as we could. Dave and Sam turned to looked at us.
"Yay! Im finally getting a brother!" I said. "Thank God you said yes or else you would have been in trouble for all the work we did."
Dave, finally over the shock of getting engaged, said, "You talked."
I nodded shyly, and said, "Yeah, I did."
I hugged them both.
"Congrats you guys. Im so happy for you."
Sam wipped her eyes. "Thanks for this Lyra. Thank you so much."
I hugged her again.
"Your so welcome." i whisperd in her ear.

CHAPTER:11
I leaned in and whispered to Jackson,
"Okay, so Dave is gonna pick us up from school, and me and you are gonna get the supplies for tonight, while Dave keeps Sam busy. Kay?"
Jackson nodded, then leanded away before anyone caught us. We were sitting in art the next friday. Tonight was the night Dave was gonna propose. We had been planning this all week long. It was perfect timing too, considering this was the last day of school so Sam wont be expecting a thing. Perfect. I just hope all goes acorrding to plan.
The bell rang, and Jackson and I jumped up and rushed out the door. We're egar to get going and get it done with. We jump in Daves car and he drove us to the store.
"You sure you dont need me to come and pick you guys back up?" Dave asked. He was so nervous.
"We got it covered." Jackson replied.
Dave nodded and we got out of the car.
"So what do we need again?" Jackson asked. I rolled my eyes and handed him the list. He nodded. "Got it."
We hurried to get everything and ran the mile back to my house.
We ran into the kitchen panting. Jackson shook his head.
"Dang, i need to get in shape." he said.
I laughed.
"Come on we have to get this set up."
I ran to the storage room and got the picknick basket.
"Hey can you wash this please?"
"Sure." Jackson took the basket from me and walked into the bathroom to wash it. I took a deep breath and sighed.
"She had better say yes after all this planning and crap."
I laid out everything and started organizing inside my head.
An hour later i went through the mental checklist:
Keep Sam busy; check
Pack basket; check
Keep Dave calm; almost check
Get everything set up perfectly; check.
Just one more thing left to do. Get Sam to say yes.
"Is everything ready?" Iasked Jackson.
He nodded. Yep. Minis the fact that Dave is freakin out. Its perfect."
"Good. I need to go change."
I changed into my summer dress really fast the ran downstairs, just in time to meet Dave.
"We set?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.
Sam walked in and gave us a dirty look, arms across her chest.
"For the picnic of course."
"Oh, sure."
She didnt looked convinced.
We all piled into the truck and drove to Sam's favorite place on the whole property.
Dave, Jackson, and I all smiled at each other, then everyone got out.
Jackson and I set up the picnic while Dave and Sam got the cake and plates out of the truck. I couldnt sit still. I was full of nervous energy. I really hope Sam says yes.
"This is all so lovley." Sam said as we sat down to eat.
"Lyra planned it all." Jackson said.
"You helped Jackson."
"No, i really didnt."
"Oh shut-up and eat. I dont care who planned it. The food looks great." Sam said before she grapped a plate and dug into the food.
We ate and laughed, and before i knew it, it was time for the cake. I started cutting pieces and handing them out. I saw Dave pull the ring box out of his pocket and, he totally freaked out.
"Nobody move!" He said worriedly,"I lost the ring!"
Only thing i have to say is thanks for reading and :p. (sorry im really happy right now.) love you all.

CHAPTER 10:
wat, He texted me back.
meet me at the palyground in an hour
okay
thanks
of course
I put my phone away and finished eating. Right before i got up to put my plate away, Sam turned to dave and started to say,
"Guess wha-"
I shook my head no at her before she could tell Dave that i talked earlier. She looked confused for a second then she nodded as she understood what i meant, and i continued to put my plate away. I didnt want Dave to know i talked before i knew i was really ready to talk. I didnt want to disapoint him, like i had so many others.
im goin for a walk, I texted Sam. She read it and nodded her approval.
I waved, walked outside, and headed for the playground where i knew Jackson would already be.
When i walked into the clearing, JAckson was sitting on the swings. He looked up and waved at me.
"Hey Lyra. Whats up?"
I sat down on the swing beside him and said slowly,
"I need your help to come up with a plan. A plan for Dave accually. A plan for Dave to propose to Sam."
"What?" he sat up straighter. "Dave's gonna propose to Sam"
"Yes, and he asked me for our help. He has no clue how to propose to her."
Jackson rubbed his chin, thinking. then he slowly smiled.
"I think i have an idea, Ly."
"What?"
He leanded toward me, then whispherd his plan in my ear.
***
After talking, and planing with Jackson for an hour, we both decided to wait until morring to tell Dave our idea, then we went to our homes. When i walked into the house, Dave was gone and Sam was curled up on the couch with a giant bowl of popcorn watching a sappy romance movie. She looked up as i entered the room. She had a tissue pressed against her face. Sam always cried during romance movies.
"Hey." She. You could here the tears in her voice.
I waved at her.
"So, did you have fun on your walk?"
I nodded and smiled. She had no idea what I did or planned.
"Thats good." She turned back to her movie and i took it as my cue to go to bed.
The next morring, Dave was there for breakfast.
"Morring Lyra. You sleep okay?" He gave me a look that said, you got anything.
I smiled and nodded. He smiled back.
"Good."
Sam just ignored us and finished setting the table for breafast.
I texted Jackson and told him to meet me and Dave after breakfast. Then texted Dave and told him the same thing.
So after breakfast dishes were done, Dave turned to me and said,
"Hey lyra, you want to go for a quick walk?"
I nodded me head. Dave turned and walked outside. I turned to follow but Sam grabbed my arm.
"You and Dave seem To be spending a lot of time together. What are you two planning."
I shook my head like i had no idea what she was talking about, and followed dave outside. Sam was left standing there looking confused and mad at the same time.
I cought up with Dave and Jackson at the bend in the road where the view from the houses where blocked.
"So," Dave started excited, "What have you got?"
Jackson told him our plan. He Leaned back and smiled hugly.
"Perfect" He wispherd.
Thank you guys for reading, everyone of yall are amazing. You have no idea what it means to me that yall read this. (warning

chapter 9:
Sam looked at me shocked.
"Did...Did you just talk?"
I nodded my head, suddenly unable to talk anymore. I grabbed my notebook again.
Im sorry. I just lost it. I dont think i can talk right now. Jackson's been working with me. He went through the exact same thing im going through.
"That explains why you two hit it off so fast. Come here. I know its just one word, but I'm so proud of you." She pulled me into anthor tight hug. I hugged her back. "Im so sorry for what i said. I didnt mean it. I dont know why i said it."
Its okay.I understand, youy were mad. I forgive you. Love you.
"Love you too kiddo."
I smiled at her. There was a knock on the front door. I shut my door and follow Sam downstairs. I stood behind her as she opened it to reveal Dave.
"Hey Dave! I didnt know you were coming over today." Sam said, the she lean in to kiss him.
Dave shrugged. "I need to talk to Lyra, accually."
"oh, okay. Well go on then." She ushered us upstairs to my room "You two talk, and I'll go make super."
When she was gone Dave turned to me. He took a deep breath and sighed.
"I guess theres no since in putting it off any longer. I need to ask you a question. Well your permission, accually."
What?
"I want to marry Sam. I love her so much and we've been together for a while now so i think its time to ask her."
What?! OMG, seriously? I cant believe it. I'm so glad. I've been waiting for you to ask her since i was little. I'm so happy.
"So your giving me permission to marry her?"
DUDE! Dont let me stand in your way. Of course you have my permission to marry her. I hugged him. I cant wiat to finally have a dad.
He hugged me back. "Im glad you feel this way. I didnt want to make you unhappy.
Dont worry about me. Sam's gonna be so shocked.
".Im gonna need your help. I dont know how im gonna do this."
Dont worry i'll help you and ill recrute Jackson.
"Thank you. Come on kiddo. Lets go eat."
When sam saw our faces she asked,
"What? What are you two up too?"
"What do you mean Sam? We havent done anything." Dave said, then he kissed her.
As we sat down to eat, i pulled my phne out and typed,
Jackson, I need ur help.

Chapter 8:
I herd a soft knock on my door.
"Lyra? Are you okay? Can i come in?" Sam asked softly.
I stood up and slowly opened my door. Sam grabbed me in a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry Lyra. I dont know why i acted that way. Accually i was mad at Janie, not you. Can you ever forgive me?"
I looked up at her. She had tears in her eyes. I nodded my head and gave her a small smile. Sam pulled back and frowned.
"Did something happen between you and Jackson?" she asked in an accusing tone. I looked away and bit my lip.
"Something did happen! What?"
I walked over to my desk and grabbed a notebook. I took out a pencil and wrote with shakey hands, he kissed me.
"He what? Kissed you?"
I nodded my head yes. Sam squealed and clapped her hands then froze.
"Then why are you crying?" She asked confused.
I shook my head. She wouldnt understand. She wasnt around when Drake was here. She doesnt know what happened. She also doesnt know what i promise mom, and that i would probably never be able to keep my promise.
There was a knock on my door, startleing us both. i looked up.
"Lyra. Are you okay?" Jackson asked.
I bit my lip. Sam patted my back.
"I'll just let you two...talk?" she said, then she shut the door on her way out.
"Lyra I..."
I cut him off.
"No. It...Its my fault. I...I just." I took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Jackson. I just have a complicated past." I looked at him and gave a slight smile. "Did you get Janie to tell you what happened between her and Sam?"
"Yeah. She said that she tried to tell Sam somethings that might be wrong with you, why you werent talking, and Sam got mad."
"Yeah you cant tell Sam what to do. She doesnt like that."
"Yeah. Janie learned the hard way." He looked at me. "Are you sure your fine Lyra?"
I smiled and nodded. "I'm fine."
"I know your not. But if you dont want to talk about it right now, I understand."
"Thank you."
He smiled at me. "We cool?"
I smiled. "We cool."
Jackson's phone buzzed. He looked at it.
"Umm, hey i got to go. I'll talk to you later, alright?"
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye." Then he left.
A few minuets later, Sam walked back into my room.
"Hi" I said.
Thank you guys sooo much for reading my story and being so patient. You guys are wornderful. I love to hear from yall, so just tell me what ya think. Thanks. (Warning: I cant spell.)

chapter 7:
We stayed by the swings for a fews hours, just talking. I was still shocked that i had finally managed to talk after three years. But what i couldnt understand, is how Jackson Reed, some guy i just meet got me to talk. Maybe its because i know he went through the exact same thing that im going through right now. Or mabey hes just special.
"Hey ly, do you want to come to my house and help me unpack?" Jackson asked.
"Sure. I'm not ready to go home yet." I was quiet for a minute, then i said softly, "Jackson, do we have to tell anyone i talked? i dont think im ready to talk to anyone else yet."
"Of not Ly. I understand. Come on." he said helping me up. "I really need to unpack."
I followed him back to his house. Sam was standing on the pourch. She started my way, but i ignored her and walked into Jackson's house. We said hi to Janie, then countiued up to his room.
Jackson's room was covered in moving boxes. We had a lot of work to do. I went over to a box labeled shirts, and opened it.
"Where do you want these" I asked.
He looked up. "In the closet. There should already be hangers in the closet."
I nodded and started putting cloths away. About an hour after we started working, Janie brought us some sandwiches, popcorn, angle food cake, and whipped cream in a bottle. We thanked her and she left. We worked for a few more hours, and when we stopped we had everything put away.
"Thanks for helping me. I would have been working on this for a month."
I smiled and said, "Your welcome."
Jackson picked up some leftover popcorn and threw it at me.
"Hey! What was that for?"
"What?" He asked innocently.
I smiled and walked over to him, picking up the can of whipped cream on my way. When i got within a foot of him i sprayed him with it. He jumped up laughing, and grapped a bottle of ketchup. He smiled evily.
"No!" I said wide-eyed. I started to back up, then i ran for it. Before i could reach the door, he grabbed me around the wiast and spirted ketchup on top of my head. I squealed and he let me go.
"That was not nice!" He luaghed and stepped away. I picked up a ketchup and turkey sandwitch and rubbed it all over his face.
"You did not just do that!" He said loudly.
I nodded my head and smiled. He grabbed me by the wiast, and pulled me toward him. His face was covered in ketchup. He slowly lowered his face to mine.
"I cant believe you did that." He whisperd. "What did i ever do to you?"
Then he kissed me. And i kissed him back.
After a second i pulled away.
"I...Im sorry." I wispherd before i ran out of his room and his house and ran all the way to my house. I was crying by the time i reached the stairs. Sam looked at me and started toward me. I just shook my head and ran the rest of the way to my room. When i was inside i shut the door, locked it and slowly slide down it until i was sitting on my floor. I touched my lips.
"Mom," i whispherd," I really need you right now."
So i rewrote chapter 7 since i could never find it. This version isnt as good as the original, so im sorry. Thanks for reading. (Warning:I cant spell.)
