Derek's P.O.V.
********************
Everything has been really good between Christina and I. A couple weeks after the carnival we were in my bedroom staring at my ceiling. I had my arms in a tight hold. We had been sitting there for a half hour talking about random things.

'I love how you treat, Annie.' She said smiling.

'I would do anything for her.' I say returning the smile.

'I know.' She said. There was a silence.

'A year ago during the summer Annie and I were getting ice cream.' I say. She frowned at my serious tone but I kept going. 'We were walking home and she needed to tie her shoe. I kept walking because she told me that she would come run up to me when she was done. I kept walking when I realized it was a long time and looked behind me to see a large man in a hoodie who was grabbing my sister. She had tears in her eyes and looked terrified.' I took a deep breath. 'I was scared too. I knew what this guy was going to do if I didn't stop him soon enough.' I say as tears filled my eyes. 'i pulled out a gun and shot him.' I say.

'Oh, Derek.' she says hugging me close as I cried. I can't believe I was crying in front of my girlfriend.

'I didn't want her hurt.' I cried.

'I know.' she whispered. 'i know.' as soon as the tears cleared I finished saying,

'We went to court and the courts ruled that it was self-defense. So I was clear. But I didn't mean to kill any one.... but it was my sister and...' I trailed off. There were a few awkward moments of silence. 'i would have done the same thing for you.'

'Derek.' she whispered.

'I would.' I say kissing her forehead.

'I've never had someone care about me so much.' she smiled.

'You're the world to me.' I said against her lips. I kissed her. Christina was truly the world to me.. I don't know what I would do without her.... I don't know how I did live without her. She saved my life. But am I the only one falling in love?
