Love Exists- Chapter 11
----
When I woke up the next morning, I was wide awake. It was only 9 A.M, so this suprised me. It was Sunday, one of the days of the week that I never looked foward to, school tomorrow. That means I would see Sal and all of his idiotic buddies that act like they're 5. But I would also see Scott and that made me smile. Thinking about him made me get major butterflies in my stomach.
I got dressed, did my hair and makeup and went in the kitchen. No one was home, again. I missed waking up in the morning and having breakfast on the table. I had to cook everything myself and do everything on my own, it made me too mature too fast. I wanted to be the wild, crazy self I always used to be, but it was just so hard now. My dad would be coming home in a couple months, and trust me I needed him back in my life. He left when I was eleven years old and now I'm fifteen. My eyes started to tear up just by thinking about him. As you can tell, I was really close with my dad before he left to serve in the war.
I wasn't upset from last night anymore, I had years to move on from Drake. Of course I miss him, and I still love him, I always will. But he always told me that when things get bad, you have to move on and still love your life, because everyday people are losing theirs. I smiled when I remembered he had said that. We were in his backyard sitting on his grass watching the stars, he told me that saying and he kissed me. That was my first kiss, and his first. That night was so special, I will never forget it.
My phone buzzed, inturrupting my train of thought.
Heyy! whats up? ScOtt.

shocker, and sure. if you want me to..ScOtt.
of course i do !J<3

Now.. if you want.J<3
Can't wait :) ScOtt.
I put my phone away in my back pocket and butterflies were still going in my stomach. I was dressed and everything so I opened the front door and sat on the front stoop. I didn't bother to tell my mom, by the time Scott left she still wouldn't be home. I saw Scott jogging down the block and my stomach was doing flips. I pretended I didn't see him and read a magazine. He was walking up the driveway when I looked over my magazine.
"Hey Jo!" Scott said, very enthusastic.
"Hi Scott," I smiled, patting the seat next to me. He came over and gave me a hug then sat down.
"How are you," he asked with conern.
"I'm better, how are your arms?" I asked.
"Ummm, what do you mean," He asked curiously.
"You carried me home last night" I replied but then quickly added, "Humming Micheal Jackson"
I nudged him and he laughed, "I didn't know you were awake, umm where you awake when I brought you to your room?"
"No," I replied way to fast, he saw right through my lie and his cheeks went red, so did mine. We looked away and I felt his hand touch mine. I let him hold it, I didn't care, I loved him.
He looked down at our hands and then back up at me, smiling. I smiled back.
"I love you Joanna," He told me, My heart stopped. I tried to tell him that I loved him back, but nothing came out. He stared at me, waiting for me to say it back.
"Scott, I love you too" I replied, this moment was so perfect. He smiled and touched my cheek lightley. He leaned foward, and so did I, then we kissed and my heart was racing. We pulled back laughing. We were great friends, that were both in love with eachother.
We spent the rest of the day together, walking, watching movies, talking. Soon, he had to go home because it was a school night.
"I'll be here tomorrow morning to walk you to school," He told me, holding my hands.
"Okayy, I'll see you tomorrow then," I said smiling.
"I'll miss you," He said hugging me.
"No, I'll miss you more then you will ever know," I told him.
He kissed me and his hands were on my hips and my hands were around his neck.
I pulled away first, "go! I don't want you to get in trouble!"
He moaned, "Ugh, okayy. See you tomorrow." I nodded and he kissed me again. After that he ran out the door.
I went in the kitchen, smiling, and started making my dinner. I was eating my dinner in the living room while watching telivision. Someone started knocking on the door and I jumped up to go get. I opened the door and I stood there in shock. My eyes opened wide and the biggest smile went across my face. Tears of happiness were trailing down my cheek.
