(Don't complain if you can't win, its just something we live for,and we do it well as you'll see by the way that we, rock and we roll over state-lines and dollar signs...Oh you dance like its your job...)

Time had flown by since Alex had came back. It was now our last week of school, finals week as it's called so instead of hanging out to go on adventures over the past few weeks, we'd been hanging out to study for our exams. When we didn't have finals, we mainly studied in the library or a spare classroom if we had nice teachers, otherwise we were forced to either start next years topic or watch pointless films.

By Thursday, I only had my Lit and Biology exams left and then I could enjoy summer break with my friends. Alex and I had spent nealry every night studying together at my house until late because we always got...distracted at his. After studying Thursday night we lay on my floor in each other's arms as Alex hummed 'The World You Love' in my ear, our song. Today was Alex and I's six month anniversary, but because we'd been focusing on our finals we were going to do something special during summer break. We'd already planned to go to a few warped dates, and the tickets had came a few weeks ago and given to me to look after because no one else could be trusted with not losing them.

After humming the song a few times, my mom came in and told Alex it was time for him to go home so he got a good night sleep before our finals tomorrow and then we could spend the summer having fun together. He looked at me and smiled before getting up and offering me his hand so I could do the same. I helped him pack up his books and put on some shoes to walk him across the street hand in hand like our usual routine, and when we got to the bottom of his driveway he stopped and turned to face me. "Don't think I've forgotten what today is..." He whispered kissing my neck softly and making me giggle. "Now what would today be?" I teased, intertwining our fingers until he stepped back, taking a piece of paper out of his pocket and putting it in my hand. "Open this when you get home." He whispered before kissing me softly and going to his door, turning around and looking at me "Happy Anniversary Jen, I love you." I smiled, feeling warmth in my cheeks as they went red and kept hold of the paper Alex had put in my hand. "Happy 6 month Anniversary to you too Alex. And ofcourse I love you so damn much."

I walked back across the road and after saying goodnight to Mom and kissing her cheek I went up to my room to get ready for bed, placing whatever Alex had given me on my bedside drawer while I changed into my pjs. As I tied my hair back into a ponytail, I heard my phone vibrate. It was Alex -as usual- and I smiled before I even opened the text to see what it said. 

Loved the view I just got ;) Don't forget to open your envelope. Love You xxx

I giggled, realising I'd forgotten to pull my curtains to before getting changed infront of them.

Pervert ;) If you weren't my boyfriend, I'd call the police. I'm gunna open it when I get into bed, I hadn't forgotten xxx

I pressed send, looking out the window to him and smiling before I closed the curtains and went over to my bed, turning my lamp on and examining the envelope he'd given me. I traced my fingers over the grooves of it before delicately opening it and pulling out what seemed like a letter.

To my amazing, beautiful Jeniffer.

    This letter is my Anniversary present to you. I know it isn't much, but I thought instead of buying you something other people will have, I would write you this because you will be the only one in the world that has this, making it special, very much like you.

    The first time I met you, you gave me butterflies and I was taken aback by your beauty and intelligence. I liked the fact you were one of the only girls who didn't flaunt themselves at me and on that night where we sat in someone's front yard and talked for a few hours. You made me feel so comfortable in your company I felt I could tell you anything and everything, and I did. You were the first person I let into my life that way, and I don't regret it for a second.

    Those talks we had at the harbour meant a lot to me, and although I didn't realize it at the time, I was falling in love with you and each day I'm with you I fall more and more in love with you. I didn't think what I feel for you was ever possible, I never thought I could love someone as much as I love you. I never want to let you go, I want to share every moment of the rest of my life with you.

    Below is a song I have written for you. When we finish school tomorrow I will sing you it, just me, you and my guitar. I hope you get the references :)

Think about it 'till anticipation makes you shake and we both lose control.

Put the pedal to the floor, lay the seat back, lock the doors,

We're gonna make this worth our while.

It's getting harder to breathe...

"Jealous hearts will leave us all in ruins,"

That's what we'll say as we hide out from our friends, hear the message once again,

"Lets get this right."

Your lips are a hot flame, baby and our chemistry is kerosene...

Take it off, take it all off, maybe we can get down and burn up in the heat...

Times like these feel so dangerous,

When you know you're gonna find out,

How right it feels,

To ignore the ones you love the most,

This can't be right.

Your lips are a hot flame, baby and our chemistry is kerosene...

As we kiss to the sound of your stereo, don't say a word... I won't say a word...

Don't treat this like a secret,

Just keep it quiet while we know that we could tear best friends apart

With all the lies we've told...

Your lips are a hot flame, baby and our chemistry is kerosene...

Take it off, take it all off, maybe,

And I'm lost for words when thoughts don't compare - write this down...

Anyway, it's probably late and we have our last finals tomorrow, so get some sleep my love. The last thing I will add to this is what I said to you in my room before we shared our first kiss.

"The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand,

And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.

Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!

For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."

I love you.

Alexander x

Tears of joy and love filled my eyes as I read it over and over again, and I took my phone and called Alex. It only took a few rings before he answered. "You like it?" I sighed, smiling as the tears stopped. "I love it, it's amazing. I love you and I can't wait to hear you sing the song tomorrow. I want to spend the rest of my life with you too. I love you so much...I can't put it into words." I heard him giggle on the other end yawning.

"We'll finish this conversation tomorrow on the ride to school. We both need our sleep, and I mean everything I put in that letter."

"I know, I love you Alex. See you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Jen." He blew a kiss and then hung up, so I set my phone on my bedside drawer and turned my light off before cuddling the Harrods teddy bear Alex had got me from when he went to see his family in England and falling asleep smiling, like I did every night because of him.
