Complicated.

*John's P.O.V.*

-- 3 MONTHS LATER (DEC.) --

It had been three months since I kissed Marri. We didn't talk about it much, but when I would try to bring it up, she'd try to change the subject.
I admit it, I had true feelings for Marri now. I wanted her to be mine, I wanted her all to myself. Hopefully, my Christmas present I would give her would make her mine. Well, I hoped, anyways.
She stopped cutting, been two months strong now. I threw her razors away, and took all her needles. I told her she could do so much better without them, and she was. I was proud of her, but the only reason I think that she isn't cutting was because of me. I felt like she didn't want to brake her promise that she made me, that she was staying strong for me. It made me happy, she made me happy. But then she told me I have to talk to my parents sometime soon.
As for my parents, I haven't talked to them since they kicked me out. They didn't bother to call me or anything, so I didn't bother to call them. I know they're my parents, but if they don't want me in their lives, then I wasn't even going to try. I didn't like to think about it much, so I try to block it out.
And as for Marri's parents, they really didn't care if I stayed. Yes, I met them, because they came home for an hour one day. They shook my hand, and Marri told them about me. I'm glad they liked me, or else I'd probably by living on the streets right now.
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard shouting.

"John, come here!" Marri shouted. I ran up to her room, only to find her fan girling at the computer screen. "LOOK!!" She shouted.
I walked up to the computer, realizing what she was looking at. Warped Tour Band Announcements. She's been telling me she's been wanting to go. I smiled at her.

"Oh wow, Marri. This is what you were screaming about?"

"YES!! I've been waiting for this for months!" She screamed. She got up and grabbed the sides of my arms.
"I. HAVE.TO. GO." She said, shaking me with each word.

"Maybe.." I said. She let go and sat back down.

"Aww, come on. Pwweeaassee?" Marri pouted. I couldn't help but laugh.

"What are we gonna go with, we have no money." I told her. She stuck her lip out and looked down.

"Thanks for crushing my dreams, John." She said, looking up at me smiling. I laughed as she got up and walked towards the door. "Come here." She told me. I followed her to the top of the stairs, sitting down beside her.
"So, I want to know, did you get me a present?"
I looked up at her, pretending I forgot about Christmas.

"Of course, Marri. It's already December 21st, how could I forget?"
She looked down, smiling. I loved it when she smiled. It lit up the whole room.
"Did you get me a present?" I asked.

"Yes, I did. I don't know if you'll like it though..." She said. I reached over, grabbing her hand. I swear I felt sparks.

"I'll love it." I told her.

"I hope you do." She said, as she pulled her hand away.
It was already late, and I was really tired.

"I'm gonna go to bed now, ok?" I told her. She nodded her head and walked to her room
"Goodnight Marri."

"Goodnight John."

~ 3 days later ~

Today was December 24th, 6:30 P.M.
This was it. I was gonna surprise Marri with her present early.
"Marri, come here!" I yelled from the guest bedroom. She opened the door and walked in, now facing me.

"What, are you ok?" She asked. I smiled and looked down at the ground.

"I'm fine.." I told her.

"Then what?" Her eyes looked directly into mine, this was my chance.
I leaned in and kissed her, wrapping my arms around her. She laid her arms around my neck and kissed me back, but didn't pull away this time. She kept kissing me. the more we stood there, the kiss would get more intense. Soon enough, we were both gasping for air. I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer, causing her to run her fingers through my hair. She tugged on my shirt, pulling me closer to her. I moved my lips down, until I reached her neck.
"Joohhnn" she moaned. I looked back up at her smiling. She was smiling too, leaning her forehead against mine.
I kissed her again, but more passionately. She looked up at me, kissing me again.
We tripped over the bed and landed on it, me holding myself up over top of her. She looked up at me wide eyed, breathing heavily
I laid down next to her, wrapping my arm around her. She scooted closer to me and put her head on my chest.

"Marri, I want you to be mine." I said. She looked up at me, then put her head back down.

"How could you want me? I have so many flaws and imper-"

"I love all those flaws and imperfections. I love everything about you." The words slipped out of my mouth. She put her head up, kissing me again.

"So, you're asking me to be your girlfriend?" She asked.

"Yes, will you be my girlfriend?" She smiled, before covering herself up with the sheets.

"Yes." She said. She looked up at me and moved the hair out of my face. I couldn't help but smile, and she smiled back.
"Oh, and John?" she said. I looked at her, listening.
"Don't kiss me on the neck, it's a weak spot." She said, smiling. I gently leaned down and kissed her neck, making her laugh.
"Joohhnnn stoopp iitt!" she said, almost begging. I looked up to see her smiling. She rested her head in my neck, closing her eyes.
We sat there for a long time in silence, until I looked over to see she feel asleep. She was so cute, and now she was mine. She was finally mine.
I sighed as I closed my eyes, soon falling asleep, with Marri in my arms.
