"I use to live in Juneau with my parents" he said looking in distant out of window,

"Parents" she replies listening him talking of his parents for the first time.

"Yeah, what you thought I fell from tree" he smiles sadly "Or I should say with my father, my mom.." he gulps down an cry "she left me going away to the place from no one comes back, when I was born, my father was the only one in my life, he loved me and I loved him, he worked in an firm but he always had time for me, we used to play together, cook together, cry together, laugh together, our family was small but it was perfect"

"Then why you left?" she asked her voice almost a whisper, as she keep staring at him, sitting on ottoman stools right in front of window.

"Then my adversity came to haunt me again, when I was 10, my father remarried, the women had a son of my age, he said she will love me like my own mother, but she never saw me as a son, I was more of a insect to her that must be smashed, my father started working thinking that now I have someone to take care of me.. She hated me every single moment the echo of her slaps still drums in my ear, I still fear the dark to where she used to lock me for hours all those terrible memories of childhood still haunt me whenever I think of her.. Then one day she proved in front of my father that I take drugs, my father annoyed from my mishaps, my rebel behaviour towards her thought that sending me to Anchorage to his friend would be nice, he sent me here to live with Harry Simon, Erik's father, I met Erik and we became friends or I should say brothers, my father at start provided me money but after few years he stopped that as well, fortunately I learnt to fix cars and started working moving out of Erik's house not wanting to be a burden on them, since then I'm on my own, but no matter how much I hide my pain it hurts that whenever I love someone they leave me, that's why I get sacred of the thought of losing you.. After a long time I have met a person for whom I wanna live my rest of the life.. but again thought of you going away scares me more than anything, I have bear many things in life but I can't bear being separated from you" he says looking in her eyes with tears.

Her eyes mirrors his tears, knowing about his past let her know everything, why he is scared of dark, it explains it all, she want to find that women and want to slap her, she made him suffer so much that the wounds she gave still hurts him, now she knows that his love for her is true, and if she'll leave him she'll never forgive herself.

"You asked so I told you though I don't believe in sharing things which I know will give agony" he said shaking his head to control his tears.

"You don't have to think me as a bottle, I can be ocean for you, you can pour every ounce of your pains in me" she spoke softly in her low voice.

Her words the depth of them like went touching him inside raising goosebumps, he kept looking at her before he could say anything she break the silence.

"Yeah I forgive you Troy, not because I sympathize you but because now I can see the picture more clearly and I Love You" saying she closes the distance between them, landing her lips on his in and delicate kiss which took him in shock,

He was not expecting it after what he did but feeling her soft lips on his, he starts kissing her back showing his feeling moving his lips over her sweet ones, breaking the kiss he boars in her eyes "I'm sorry Erika this was the last time I did something to hurt you I would never do anything that'll make you cry" saying he wipes a tear from her eyes.

"I know you won't after all I was not the only one crying you were also weeping in my pain" saying she joins their foreheads together.

He embraces her in his arms kissing her temple.

"I Love You" she speaks feebly, feeling save in his arms around her petite form.

"I Love You more than everything" she snuggles in him.

Erika wakes up smiling relieved after last night, after talking for hours Troy left as quietly as he came, she was so much good after midnight confessions, it feels like some kind of big burden has been lifted from her heart, her phone beeps, picking it up she finds a text from Troy "Good Morning beautiful" she smiles bitting her lower lip thinking of him replying him back she heads to washroom.

Troy gets ready to leave, this time he really don't want to be late in picking her up, as he starts to leave a car stops his way, sceptical he looks at the car.

The guy sitting in car downs it's glass "You are the mechanic?" he asks rudely.

"Yeah" he replies confidently.

"See my car it's stopping again an again check it" he orders him like he is his servant.

He could have helped him but he don't like how he is talking to him like he is his slave and more importantly his love is waiting for him, "I can't it's close right now, if you want you can leave your car here I'll fix it in evening then you can take it" he replies looking at him.

"What.. Did you just said no to me" the guy says as he gets out of his car removing his glasses "Do you know who I'm, and what I can do I'm James Hudson, with a snap I can destroy your everything you penniless piece of shit" He says enraged showing him his finger.

"I fix things, but I'm pretty gruesome in destroying them as well" Troy says in anger grabbing his finger tightly putting it down, his blood was boiling is nerves pumping wanting to unleash his anger by wrecking his damn face but for Erika he stops himself he knows she hates violence and he don't want to hurt her anymore, even if this guy in front of him will beat him he won't fight back for her, that's why he wants him to leave before his patience leaves him.

"You'll pay for it" threatening Troy he glares at him and leaves getting in his car, which to his luck starts smoothly.

Troy keeps glaring him as he leaves, controlling his fury he starts his bike ready to pick Erika up, he is excited by the thought that today the whole school will know that they are together.

"Good Morning beautiful princess your carriage is ready" Troy bows down in front of her.

She giggles at his action "Good Morning"

"For me it's nothing good in morning" saying he pulls Erika closer stealing a tender kiss from her lips "Now it's a Good Morning indeed"

She hits him on chest lightly blushing.

"Let's go before your brother finds me and beats the heck out of me" he chuckles.

"I know you are not afraid anyways he is off to work and so my Dad" she replies sitting on bike.

"That's comforting, did I tell you that you look gorgeous in this blush pink turtle neck" he says looking at her from the rear view mirror.

"You just did now let's go" she says smiling.

"Here we go Ma'am" saying he starts his bike, she holds him tight feeling warmth of his black sweater as the cold air hit her.

They reach the school, Troy walks with her holding her close telling everyone that they are together, he don't want to give this message to the guys but he wants the girls to know that he is taken. Walking with him gives her an confident, she sees the look on people's faces, some whispering something to each other, some staring at them wide eyed, some specially girls throwing daggers at her from their eyes, some looking happy. Neither Erika nor Troy cares of anyone around them they can think, speak whatever they want, as long as they have each other nothing else really matters, what matters is just their true love.

"Here you go, all the best for your exam" stopping in front of Erika's class he says, she nods as he leaves kissing her temple, smiling like a child she gets inside.

"So how was your exam?" Erika asks Mary, before she could answer Erik speaks "You are forgetting that I taught her maths I'm sure my girl will make me proud" he squeezes Mary in embrace.

"What about you?" she turns to Troy who is checking the book confirming his answers.

"It was good" he replies putting the book back.

"He is saying good it means it was great, you don't know Erika but your cute boyfriend is a genius in physics" Erik says eating fries.

"I'm no genius it's just I like physics" he shrugs.

Biding farewell to their friends, They also leaves for home.

"This is definitely not the way to my home where are we going Mr. Adams" she asks.

"You'll see" he replies.

"My Dad will kill me with questions"

"Then I'll tell him that I abducted his daughter" he says with a smirk on his lips.

"After such a long time we have come here" she swirls around happily.

"I knew you'll love it" he cups her face.

Holding hands they both walks on the fallen leaves they crackles, Troy sits beneath long pine tree, giving her hand asking her to follow, she sits her back touching his chest as he encircle her with his arms.

Erika reads fault in our stars to Troy "You know what I cried like mess when I read it for the first time"

"If this made you cry then I don't want hear it" he says putting his face on her shoulder.

"Then what you want to do?" she arches her eyebrow looking at him from the corner of her eyes.

"This" he starts nibbling on her soft velvety neck, feeling ticklish she laughs, squeals to get away from him but he keeps doing it to tickle her, she manage to get out of his grip making face to tease him, she runs Troy following behind, apart from chirping of birds and sound of soft breeze the sound of her delighted laugh fills the surrounding, Troy runs after her laughing to get her, he gets to her, holding her by waist he picks her up twirling her around as they both fall on the leaves covered ground.

They are still laughing looking into each others eyes, Troy stares at her lying beneath him, Erika looking up at him, she strokes his cheek softly with her hand "You would never leave me right?" the more time she is sending with him the more it's getting tough to live without him.

He boars in her shiny brown orbs "Never"

"Promise" she asks.

"Promise" he smiles "Trust me Erika I have never felt this way for anyone, you are making me different, I can't think my life without you" he says in low voice overwhelmed with emotions.

"You are not without me, remember even when I'm not around I'll still be there for you.. You'll just have to close your eyes you'll be able to feel me I'm inside you as you are inside me" she says looking in his sea like eyes.

Troy kiss her, she kisses back with same passion her fingers dancing in his hairs, Troy turns so she is on him, she snuggles on his stiff chest, he embrace her, she listens to his melodiously soft heartbeat, their hearts were two but it had one beat they beat for each other, all the romantic books and stories she read since childhood seems to become reality, Troy also always thought love doesn't exist anymore but now he feels like this is only thing left in his life his love for Erika, he know that he is so much in love with her that he can do anything and everything for her, where all the limits ends, from there the limit of his love for her starts.
