Chapter 27:
Home Sweet Home
Alli's Perspective
I was so nervous. What if they didn't like me? What if they think my dress is
too short? A million scenarios ran through my mind. I must have looked in the
mirror a thousand times and each time I found something wrong with me. "Babe you
look fine." Keaton wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into him, blocking
my view of the mirror. Probably a good thing, "What if they don't like me?" I
whispered into his shoulder. Keaton lifted my face up. "Listen to me. Your
gorgeous and amazing and the nicest person. I could go on forever. Wesley and
Drew are the toughest judges and they love you. They would probably kill me if I
let you go." I smiled. "There's that beautiful smile," Keaton kissed my forehead
and took my hand, leading me to the car.
Keaton's Perspective
How could she think my family wouldn't like her? She was so amazing and gorgeous
and ugh. Just everything about her was perfect. I knew my family would fall in
love with her as soon as they see her. "We're here," I cooed. I could see Alli's
tense up. I reached across the seat and rubbed her leg. "I love you and so will
they." She smiled. Oh how I loved to see her smile. It literally brightened my
whole day. Week. Month. Year. Life. I helped her out of the car and held her
hand. Whenever she squeezed it, I made sure to squeeze it back and place a
protective arm around her. I opened the door and saw Alli's take a breath.
"We're home!" I yelled.
