Reasons Why I Love You
101 Reasons Why I Love YOU
As i stood there, reading those cards over and over, it started raining outside. I remembered the last card said he would be standing below my window even in the rain. I laughed out loud. I know he hated the rain, and even if he loved me as much as it seemed, he wouldn't be caught dead out in the rain, letting himself get wet and dirty.
I picked up my phone and called his house....
"Hey Mrs. Pickering. How are you today?" I was polite to grownups.
"Hello Chandler. I'm doing just wonderful today. I assume your good?"
"Of course. Never been better," and this wasn't even a lie. I felt amazing. "Umm, do you know where Alex is?"
"He went into town just a few minutes ago to get me some groceries from the supermarket. Did you need something from him?"
"No ma'am. I was just wondering when he would be home. Do you mind if i come over for a little while?" I had my fingers crossed behind my back.
"Oh please do. I've been in need of some company lately. I'll see you in a few dear."
"See you Mrs. P."
Seeing as how Alex had had his own unique way of telling me he loved me, then i should probably follow his lead and do the same. I looked around my room for something to write on, finding only sticky notes. Oh well, they'd have to do.
I took them to the desk in my room and got out my favorite pen. Here goes nothing.........
AELX'S HOUSE Alex's P.O.V.
I walked up the steps to the front door to my house, trying to balance 6 bags of groceries in my hands and a heavy weighted mind in the other. Chandler hadn't called, texted, or tried to contact me in any way. Maybe i made a mistake in telling her. I was probably better off just loving from a distance.
I walked into the house, slammed the front door shut, and stormed into the kitchen, mad at myself for being so stupid. My mother had a surprised look on her face, and opened her mouth to say something, but i just dumped the groceries on the counter and stalked up the stairs to my room. But when i got the the landing, i noticed tiny blue sticky notes along the hall that seemed to lead to my bedroom. My mom was always trying to be funny.
I walked up to the first one and say that it had writing on it. SILLY BOY. YOU HAVE NO IDEA it read. Wha--?
It was then that i realized that all the sticky notes seemed to have writing on them.
I moved onto the next card, and saw a bog number 1 in the corner. It was then that I realized what was going on, and started to read.
1) I guess my heart realized what my head knew all along
2) i could never tell you how i thought i felt, i didn't want to maybe ruin things. and for that, im sorry
3) my stomach feels weak whenever your around me
4) sometimes, i save your texts to look at when im lonely, just to know someone cares about me
5) you make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world
6) not to mention you give me the tingles everytime you even look at me
7) im not even gonna say what you do to me when we touch
8) you've never once let me try to be someone i'm not. and have accepted me for who i really am
9) i love how we can sit and listen to music, and not need to talk
10) you are most definitely the cheese to my bagel
11) and the star to my burst
12) the peanut to my jelly
13) the pop to my tart
14) and all the other things that that quote says. i can't even remember
15) i realized a long time that your more valuable to me than everything else in my life
16) i don't think i could live without you here with me
17) i love how you make up stupid jokes to make me laugh
18) honestly, i just laugh to hear you say another one
19) but only because i love the sound of your voice
20) not because their funny jokes
21) not that their not funny, but you know. i like your voice better...
22) i love how you never judge me, even when i know i've done something wrong
23) i also love how no matter how mad i get, or how loud i scream at you, you never seem to fight back, and it makes me calm down
24) i love how your the only one who always knows what im thinking
25) how you can tell a real smile from a fake one
26) and a genuine laugh from a forced one
27) I love how you turn everything into an adventure
28) how your always pushing me to try new things
29) i think its funny how no matter how hard you try to tell some feelings to go away, they don't
30) and they don't let you move on either
31) i don't think its just chance that we're both in love with each other
32) it must be fate
33) i love how you told me fate is what causes everything to happen
34) and how i called you a lunatic and said your crazy
35) but now, im starting to see the light
36) and i'll admit it, my life would be boring without you
37) it also wouldn't have any meaning
38) and i wouldn't have a reason for being here today
39) so im just gonna thank you for making my life worth while
40) to be honest, whenever me and you are with people, i would rather be anywhere else, as long as we're together
41) and i love how you tell me that we're gonna be friends forever. i love that
42) because i truthfully need someone to tell me i can be happy forever
43) and i can be happy forever
44) as long as im with you im happy
45) it doesn't matter where the hell we are. if your standing next to me, there is no doubt in my mind that i'll be happy
46) and to top it all off, i save all my smiles for you
47) when im in school, i'll think of things that would make you smile or laugh and save them for when i could tell you, just to hear you smile or laugh
48) i cant stand it when someone other than me makes you happy
49) every time i see you even look at a girl that isn't me, i feel positively green with envy
50) whenever you go out on dates i sit at home in my room, getting fat on ice cream, because your not hanging out with me
51) but when you are with me, its like the whole world stops, because your the only thing on my mind, and the only thing i think about
52) and if i had a flower for every time you make me smile or laugh, i'd have a garden to rival central park
53) well, really, i'd rather have a snickers for every time you make me smile or laugh, but really, all that matters is that i laugh and smile a lot when im with you. more than anyone else
54) sometimes, when im awake at night, i dream of ways to tell you how i feel, but when i see you, and realize how amazingly close we are, i cant bear the thought of you laughing at me and me ruining everything we've ever had
55) really though, i'm just too scared of having you tell me you didn't feel the same, and treat it like it was a joke
56) its just, something about you gets to me
57) sometimes i think its the way you look at me
58) or the way you smile at me
59) sometimes i even think its the way you talk to me
60) but i never really know what it really is, but it keeps me right here, with you
61) and you know how some people say they have a one in a million??
62) well screw that
63) you are my one in six billion
64) i could never find someone like you
65) someone that makes me feel the way i feel when im with you
66) someone that i feel as safe with
67) or someone that i can tell anything to, and not feel weird that that person knows every little detail about me and my life
68) you know whats funny?
69) how whenever we're on the phone and you ask why im so breathless. haha, its only because you said something to take it away from me, but of course i can't tell you that
70) did you know that i wouldn't care if you called me in the middle of the night and woke me up just to tell me you couldn't sleep?
71) you know i'm terrified of the dark, and the only thing that scares me more is that i'll somehow lose you
72) even if we are "just friends" (or were) whenever i see you, i cant help but smile and want to run up to you and give you the biggest hug and never let you go
73) because to me, being in your arms is the best feeling in the world
74) you get me out of bed in the morning, drag me to school, pull me through my classes , brighten up my day, and you don't even know it
75) no matter how far away i go, my heart is always with you
76) and no matter where i go, you are always on my mind
77) actually, rain or shine, your on my mind
78) you have no idea how many times i say no when i mean yes
79) and i think that, no matter where we end up, your always gonna have a piece of me heart
80) and 10 years from now, im gonna be able to look back and say that you really were my first love
81) something else i love about you, you kept your promise when you said you'd never hurt me
82) so many others have told me that, and your the only one who has followed through
83) actually, i think your the only man that has ever fulfilled any promise to me
84) you've never once asked me to change either
85) and everyday i need you a little more
86) everyday that i go without seeing you or talking to you is like torture
87) my heart aches without you around
88) well, it aches when your with me too, just because i can't do any of the things i've dreamed of doing with you
89) sometimes i think its pathetic that i stay awake at night and cry over you
90) and honestly, it is, but its how i deal with not being able to have you
91) you know, i love you to the stars and back
92) an infinity times the biggest number in the world
93) and im sure there's something bigger than both of those things, and when some scientists find it, THATS how much i'll love you
94) you know, my mom used to tell me that one day, you and i would fall in love, and i would laugh at her. i guess i really should have listened
95) don't you think its funny how people say a boy and a girl cant be best friends without them falling in love with the other at one point in time. i should have listened to them too
96) you know how clumsy of a person i am, and how i fall all the time
97) well, from now on, the only falling i ever want to do is into you
98) and i hope to God you catch me, because then i'd have another hacking awful bruise
99) not to mention my heart would be pretty broken
100) and i'd hate to have to pick that mess up
101) soo, to sum all this up, i guess i was lucky. i was lucky because i fell in love with my best friend. the only person in this world who knows me the way you do. and if you really feel the way you said you do, and believe that i feel the same, then i'll be waiting for you to walk through the door right in front of you, and kiss me like you mean it
And let me tell you, when Alex's mother walked into his room a few minutes later, she walked right back out again, blushing like a little school girl.
THE END!
