 I Will Love You More Than Death pt. 5

Emily P.O.V.

"No way, you've liked me since freshman year?" Kieran said, not believeing me. We were cuddling on his bed, it's been a few days since he got out of the hospital. He's still recovering, but he's doing a lot better. I just confessed to him, that I've had a crush on him since the start of high school. I nodded, and said "Yeah, I thought you were really cool, and really cute." I admitted, blushing. "Aww, that's so sweet." He said, pulling me closer. "Why did you never say anything?" He asked. "Well, I'm not the best at communicating verbally with people. And you weren't the most approachable person back then." I said. Kieran looked down, and I was worried I said something that upset him. "Oh I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?" I asked. "No, it's just. I know I wasn't the most friendliest of people back in freshman year. I was still dealing with a lot." He said, with pain in his voice. I placed my hand on his, and he looked at me with what I could guess was self-hatred of who he was back then. "I was still kind of struggling, until the day I met you." He said, kissing my hand. "That honestly was the best day of my life." He said, looking at me with so much love. "It was for me too." I confessed. He just smiled at me, and I knew I wanted to see that smile for the rest of my life. "Oh, I got you something!" Kieran said, standing up and going over to his dresser. "Kieran, you have to stop getting me gifts." I said, playfully. "I know, I know. But our anniversary is tomorrow, and I really want you to have this." He said. Kieran sat on the bed, and pulled out a small black box. "Oh My God, what are you doing?!" I said, nervous as heck. "Don't worry baby, it's not a marriage proposal. At least not yet, we're still too young for that." He reassured me, and I relaxed. He handed me the box, and when I opened it. Inside was a ring with a blue butterfly, done up in saphires. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen! "Oh My God! Babe this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!" I said, as I held a hand over my mouth. "Does that mean you like it?" He asked, with a chuckle. "I love it! But how on earth did you afford this?" I asked. "I got a part time job, working at the coffee shop." He said causally. "Thank you, thank you so much!" I said, flinging myself onto him. "Ow, ow, ow, baby. My sides still hurt." He said, in pain. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry!" I said, releasing myself from him. "It's okay, baby. I'm so happy you love the ring." He said, kissing my cheek. "This is a promise ring, it signifies my promise that I will always love you, protect you, and support you, no matter what." He said, as he placed it on my finger. "I love you babe, so much." I told him, admiring the ring. "I love you too my angel, forever and always." He said back, kissing me.

School has been going okay, for the most. Even though, I really hate going. I'm only doing it for my mom, and I keep telling myself when I graduate Emily and I are gonna have these amazing new careers! I just have to keep going, I was walking down the hall to meet up with her at our lockers. When I came across a flyer for the welcome back dance Friday night. I don't usually go to those things, but maybe it might be nice to take Emily to it. I'll have to ask her though, I know she doesn't really like crowds. But it doesn't hurt to ask. I turn the corner, where our lockers are. And I see her, only she's on the floor crying and rocking. "Baby?! Are you okay?!" I say, running over to her. "Hey babygirl, it's me. It's okay." I try to tell her. But she doesn't seem to hear me, I start to sing her our song. I see her relax, and she looks up at me. "There's my girl, it's okay baby. Everything's okay." I tell her. "Can I hug you?" I ask. I always make sure to ask her, because she doesn't always let me touch her after she has a meltdown. And I respect that. She nods, and I gather her in my arms. "Shh, shh, it's okay. You're safe babygirl, you're safe." I whisper to her, as I stroke her hair. "Can you tell me what happened?" I asked. She pulled out her notebook, and wrote something down. "I just got overwhelmed during one of my classes." It said. "My poor girl, it's okay. Come on, let's go outside for lunch." I take her hand in mine, and I carry her lunch bag for her. We get to our pinic table, and I help her sit down. "There we go, it's quieter out here, isn't it?" I ask her, and she nods. We begin to eat our lunch, and I want to cheer her up. So I decide to tell her what happend in math earlier. "You wanna know what happend in math?" I asked her, she nodded. "Okay, so these two girls were gossiping with each other. And I have bat like hearing, so I could hear everything they were telling each other." I began, and I knew she was listening. Because Emily always, sits up when I tell her stories and that's what she's doing right now. "So they mentioned this guy, I guess he's been fooling around with like half the cheerleading team." I tell her. "But the crazy thing is, one of the girls, she went up to him. And she kicked him right in the crotch!" Emily, holds her hands over her mouth, and snickers a bit. I knew I could get her to smile. "There's that smile, I love so much!" I say to her, and she smiles even bigger. "Wow, I can't believe she really did that!" She said, while laughing. "I know right? But the guy totally deserved it!" I said, because it was true, that guy was such a jerk! "Hey, uh there's this welcome back dance on Friday. And I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" I asked her. Emily thought about what I just said, and she responded. "Um, I don't know. I don't really like school dances." I knew she wouldn't be up for it, which is okay. "That's okay, you don't have to go. I actually don't like school dances either. I just thought I would ask, to see if you were interested." I told her kissing her cheek. "Well we might not go to the dance, but I have something else we could on Friday." She said. "Oh, yeah? What were you thinking baby?" I asked, very curious. "My parents are going out for the day, and I'm in charge of watching Sammy. So I thought maybe, we could all go to the zoo?" She asked. "I would love to go to the zoo!" I said, heck yeah that sounded fun! "Really?! Awesome, Sammy is gonna be so excited!" She said, her eyes lighting up with joy. "Do you wanna go to the park, after school?" I asked her. "Of course!" She said.

Kieran and I were at our favourite place, the park! Kieran is tearing it up on the ramp, and I'm reviewing one of his songs. I'm also sending them to Amanda, to look over before she puts them up on the record labels website! That's right, not only do I get to review my boyfriends songs, but they are gonna be up on the label's website! I feel like I'm dreaming! I write everything down on paper first, then later I go on my laptop and type it up for my blog. Listening to one of the CDs Kieran gave me, I just sit there hear his beautiful voice. I think Kieran knew I was just sitting there listening to his voice, because I heard the skateboard stop. "Are you loving the new songs baby?" He asks from the ramp. "Yeah, I really love your voice." I say, blushing. "Aww, thank you baby." He says, blowing me a kiss, before he goes back to skating. I was writing about a chorus, when my phone goes off. I pause the song, and open phone. "Hello?" I say. "Hey sweetheart, how's it going?" It's my mom. "Hey mama, everything is good here." I tell her. "That's great honey, you remember you're watching Sammy on Friday right?" She says to me. "Yes, I remember. Is it okay, if Kieran and I take Sammy to the zoo?" I ask. "Sure honey, he'll love that! Well I'll let you enjoy the rest of your date, see you at home!" She said. "Okay, bye mama." I told her, then hung up the phone. "Hey beautiful, mwah!" Kieran said, coming over and sitting next to me. "Hehe, hey handsome." I said, kissing his lips. "I just finished up my review of your song Crushed." I said, handing him my notebook. "Ooh, awesome baby! Let me read it." He said, looking it over. "This is amazing! You're so good at this babygirl!" Kieran said, hugging me, before giving my notebook back. "Thank you." I said, appreciating the praise. "Ooh, there's a little candy stand over there. Do you want some gummy bears?" Kieran asks me. "Yes please!" I say enthusiatstically. I love gummy bears. A few minutes later, Kieran comes back with my gummy bears. "Here you go angel." He says, handing me the bag. "Thanks babe!" I say, immediatley opening them. "Do you want to share these with me?" I ask. "Sure!" He says, sitting next to me. We share the gummy bears, while listening to some of the CDs we brought. "So my mom said, it's ok to take Sammy to the zoo." I say. "That's great! He's gonna love it!" Kieran said, excitedly.

Emily and I are taking Sammy to the zoo today! I'm really looking forward to it, I love animals and so does Emily. She often tells me really cool facts about them, I love how she knows so much about animals. She mentioned to me one time, that she loves snails. And would love to have a pet one, I thought it was the cutest thing. I remember that conversation, we were kind of having a jam session in the park. I was playing my guitar, and she was singing along with me. When suddenly, there was snail crawling up the side of the bench. And Emily looked down at it lovingly. She kept going on and on about how cute snails were, and she would love to have one. She picked it up to show me, and I thought we should name it Gary after Spongebob's snail. She laughed, and my heart swelled. Eventually she put Gary down on the grass, and we went back to jamming out. I love that memory. Anyway, I'm on my way over to pick up Emily and Sammy. When I get to her house, the door opens and Sammy comes running out to see me. "Kieran!" Sammy says, running into me and hugging me. "Hey buddy, you ready to have fun today?" I ask him. "Yes, yes, yes!" He says happily. I chuckle at his excitement. "Hey baby!" I say, as Emily comes out of the house. "Hey babe! You ready to go?" She asks me, after kissing me. "Yup! I think Sammy is too." I said, pointing to him. "Hehe, yeah it's been so excited about this." Emily says as she follows me to the car. On our way to the zoo, I have my mixed CD blasting in the car. Emily and I are singing at the top of our lungs, and Sammy is laughing at our shanigains. I turn the volume down, and place my hand on my love's thigh. Then she places her hand on top of mine, she gives my cheek a little kiss. "Are you two gonna get married?" Sammy says from the back seat. "Maybe buddy, I will tell you that I love your sister, and I would do anything for her." I tell him, as I gently squeeze Emily's thigh. "If you two get married, would you be my brother?" Sammy asked. "Hehe, yeah buddy we would be brothers in law." I told him. Sammy smiled, then said "I hope you guys get married one day." I smiled at the thought, and looking at my beautiful girlfriend I feel like that would be pretty cool. I think she really could be the one. When we get to the zoo, Sammy is buzzing with energy. He's so excited, it's adorable. "Come on guys, I wanna see the turtles!" He says impatiently. "Hang on buddy, we gotta get the tickets." I said with a laugh. Once we bought the tickets, we were allowed into the zoo. "Okay, Sammy we can go see the turtles first." Emily said, and that made Sammy really happy. "Look, look! There they are!" Sammy said, pointing at them. "He really loves turtles." Emily whispered to me. "I can tell, haha." I said with a giggle. Emily took some pictures of the turtles with her camera, and showed me. "These are great baby." I said kissing her cheek. "Okay, where should we go next?" Emily asked. "How about you pic this time, my love." I offered. "Okay, well I really wanna see the wolves!" She said, excitedly. "Alright, let's go see the wolves!" I said, as we made our way to the wolf habitat. Emily was in her element, she stared lovinly at those wolves, and it was so cute. "Babe, aren't they beautiful?!" She said, taking pictures. "They sure are baby." I said, pulling her close. When she decided she had enough pictures of them, we all gathered in front of the fence and took one together. After seeing so many animals, Sammy was starting to get tired. I picked him up and carried him around piggy back style, while we made our way to the food area. I put Sammy down, and Emily and him grabbed a table. "Okay, I'm gonna get food for everyone. What does everyone want?" I said. "Ooh, I want dino nuggies!" Sammy said. "I have my own food babe, but thanks for offering." Emily said, and I nodded. "Alright I'll be right  back." I said, going up to the front. "Hello there, can I get an order of dino nuggets, with some apple slices, and a water. And also a chicken burger with fries, and an ice tea please?" I tell the guy. "Coming right up." The guy says, and takes my order to the chef. While I wait for the food, this girl comes over to me. She has long brown hair, a white headband, a little white cropped sweater, and a white mini skirt. Your typical preppy girl. She walks up to me, and twirls her hair, in what is supposed to be a flirtatious manner. I just ignore her, and focus my attention on the floor. "Hey there, handsome." She says to me, in what was supposed to be a seductive voice. I don't answer her, I just keep staring down at the floor. "Hey, I'm talking to you!" She says, raising her voice. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you." I say sarcastically. She glares at me, and gets right in my face. "You know, I really have a thing for emo guys." She says, fluttering her eyelashes. I grit my teeth, and look away from her. "Come on, you know you want me." She says, reaching out to touch my arm. "Okay, back off girl! I already have the best girlfriend in the world, so leave me alone!" I shout at her. She backs away from me with huff and tosses her hair in a dramatic manner, then walks away. "The nerve of that girl." I whisper under my breath. My order is ready, and I carry it back to the table. "Here we are, dino nuggies, with apple slices, and a water." I say handing it to Sammy. "Yay! Thanks Kieran!" Sammy says, digging in. "You're welcome buddy." I say, ruffling his hair. "Thanks for getting him lunch babe." Emily tells me, laying her head on my shoulder. "No problem baby." I tell her, placing my arm around her. "You won't believe, what happened at the counter." I say to her. I then retell Emily about the crazy girl, flirting with me. "Who does she think she is?" Emily asked. "I'm sure she meant well, but you're mine!" She said, grabbing my arm. "Always my love, just like you're mine." I tell her, placing a hand on her arm. After lunch, we visited some other animals, and went to the touch tank. They had baby sting rays you could pet carefully. Sammy loved that, he said they felt like rubber. I noticed Emily was getting a little tired, and she was stimming a lot more. "You okay baby?" I whisper to her. "I'm getting a little tired, and overwhelmed." She said. "Hey Sammy? I think you're sister has had enough today, you ready to go home?" I asked him. "No! Not yet! We have to go to the gift shop!" He said. "Would you be up for that my love?" I asked Emily. "Sure that should be fine." She said, as I held her hand. We got to the gift shop, and we were looking around at all the plushies and other souvenirs. "Oh baby, you'll love this!" I said, handing her a wolf plush. "Oh my God babe! This is perfect!" She said. "I'll get it for you." I told her, kissing her cheek. "Thank you babe, let me pick one out for you!" She said, looking for something for me. Sammy came running over to me, and showed me the tortiose plushie he picked out. "Look Kieran! I'm gonna get this!" He said, showing me proudly. "Wow, it's great buddy! Are you sure you have enough for it?" I asked him, wanting to be sure his allowance would cover it. "Yup! Mama gave me five dollars for whatever gift I wanted, and this is five dollars!" He said, smiling. I ruffled his hair, as he went up to pay for his plush. Once he was done, Emily came over to show me what she found for me. "What do you think about this?" She asked. It was a green iguana plush, I loved lizards and I thought it was the most pefect plush I have ever seen. "Baby, I love it! Thank you." I said, hugging her. We paid for our souvenirs, then we headed out to my car. Sammy fell asleep in the backseat on our way home, I guess we wore him out. "Hey baby? How do you feel about marriage?" I asked Emily, who was quietly humming along to the radio. "I thought we both agreed we were too young for that." She said playfully. "I know, but theorectially speaking, if we were to get married, would you marry me?" I asked. "You know, I would." She said, and I could feel her smiling at me. When we got back to Emily's house, I carried Sammy inside and gently placed him on his bed, with his new tortoise plush. When I came back out, Emily was standing there just looking at me. "What?" I asked. "Nothing, I just love you." She said, caressing my cheek. "Aww, I love you too baby." I said, giving her a long passionate kiss. This was probably one of the best days we ever had together. 

Emily P.O.V.

Here we are, second sesmester of senior year! Only a few months left until we graduate! I'm honestly so excited, because I get to graduate with my boyfriend and have a great career waiting for me too! What Kieran said about marriage, really had me thinking. I feel like, I would love to marry him one day. I think Kieran is the love of my life! School has been pretty crazy lately, a lot more homework, more deadlines to meet. It's been pretty stressful, and I always feel so drained after school. But Kieran usually comes over, and helps me out. I never thought I would ever meet someone so understanding, and so sweet. I really do love him with all my heart. Kieran and I are also both 18 now! We're legal adults now, it's crazy! And Sammy is almost 12, I can't believe it. I'm at Kieran's house, and I wanna sing something special for him. I've gotten more comfortable singing around him, and this song feels like the perfect one to do. "Hey babe, there's something I want to do." I told him, and he looked up from strumming. He was working on his album for the label, they told him when he graduates they want a full length album from him. So he's been working his but off trying to get it done, I have to say it's coming together very nicely. "What is it baby?" He asked. "I wanna sing you something, but could you play the backing for me?" I asked. "Of course baby, I love hearing your voice." He said. "What song do you wanna sing?" He asked me. "I love you by Avril Lavigne." I said, looking him deep in the eyes. "You got it." He said, playing the opening cords. "I like your smile, I like your vibe, I like your style. But that's not why I love you." I sang, and Kieran smiled. "And I, I like the way you're such a star, but that's not why I love you." I continued. When I got to the chorus, I swear I saw him tear up. "You're so beautiful, but that's not why I love you, I'm not sure you know. That the reason I love you, is you being you, just you." Yeah, he was tearing up, but I thought it was so sweet. "Yeah the reason I love you, is all that we've been through. And that's why I love." I blew him a kiss, and he caught it. After I finished the song, he came over to me and kissed me so hard I almost fell off the bed. "You're amazing, I'm so lucky to have you in my life." He said, brushing my hair back. "I'm the lucky one." I said, lovingly. Kieran went back to working on his album, and I went back to my writing. My favourite song on his album, is the one we did together. It's called Misfit Love, I'm reviewing it right now. It was so fun to sing with him on that one, I hope we get to do that again. While I'm writing, I hear a soft moan come out of nowhere. I look up, and look around the room trying to figure out where it came from. But I didn't see anything, so I just continued writing. But not soon after I started writing again, did I hear the moaning, louder this time. "Hey babe? Do you hear something?" I asked Kieran. Then I heard it again, I look over at Kieran and he has his hand over his stomach. "Babe? Are you okay?" I asked, concerned. "N-not really." He struggled to get out. "What's wrong?" I asked, coming over to him. "My-s-stomach, r-really hurts." He said breathing hard. "Here, maybe you should lay down." I said, helping to ease him on to his pillows. "Oh, man, it hurts so bad." He said, through clenched teeth. I put my hand to his forehead, but he wasn't warm. "Oh, no I think I'm gonna be sick!" Kieran said, getting up and dashing to the bathroom. My poor boy, I wish I knew what was wrong. When he came back out, he had both arms wrapped around his stomach and he was shuffling back to the bed. "My poor boy, did you eat something off?" I asked him. "M-maybe?" He said. "Do you rememeber what you ate today?" I asked him, smoothing his hair from his eyes. "I-I had some chicken nuggets for lunch." He said. "Did they taste weird at all?" I asked. "N-no, they tasted fine. But the milk I had with them, did taste kind of sour." He said. "Oh babe, you have food poisoning." I said sympathetically. He nodded, confirming that's what was happening. "It's gonna be okay, I'm gonna get you some stuff to help." I said, kissing his forehead. I ran downstairs to look for some nausea releif meds, and I see Kieran's mom is watching TV. "Oh hi Miss Danson." I said, waving at her. "Hello dear, Kieran told me you were gonna be here." She said. "It's good to see you." I said, because usually Kieran's mom works until one in the morning most shifts. "Yeah, I got off work early today, it's nice." She said, sipping her coffee. "Is everything okay dear?" She asked, noticing how stressed I looked. "Oh yeah, Kieran's just sick with food poisoning, I'm trying to find something to help him." I said, rubbing my hands nervously. "Oh, my poor baby. I'm gonna go up and check on him, and the neasea meds are in the bathroom sweetheart." She told me, while walking up the stairs. I followed her, and ran to get the meds from the bathroom. "Hey babe, how are you feeling?" I asked, coming over to his bed. "He's really queasy, his stomach is making awful sounds." His mom said, rubbing his leg comfortingly. "Aww, babe. I'm sorry you feel so bad. I brought some meds that might help!" I said. He sat up, and carefully took one of the pills, with some water his mom had brought up for him. "There we go, you should start to feel better soon." I said, brushing his hair off his face. "I hope you feel better soon kiddo, I love you." His mom said, before gently giving him a hug. "Thanks mom, I hope I feel better too." He said, wincing. Then she walked back downstairs. I carefully climbed in next to him, and protectively wrapped my arms around him. "I'm sorry you feel so bad babe." I said to him. "It's okay baby, having you here with me, always makes me feel better." He said, smiling slightly. "Do you wanna watch a movie?" I asked, and he nodded. I picked out The Nightmare Before Christmas, and put it in the DVD player. Kieran ended up falling asleep, and I told him to get some good rest, before turning out the light. When he woke up, he seemed to be feeling a lot better. "Oh, that feels so much better." He said, pacing a hand on his stomach. "I'm glad you're feeling better babe." I say kissing him. "Yeah, now I can get back to work on this album." He said, picking up his guitar, and notebook. My boyfriend, always so obsessed with making music. But I love that about him.
