Noelle had been in town for a few weeks now, and but she hadn't really left her apartment much since she had been here, besides going to work. She was just trying to get things all nice and organized in her place, and it was taking a lot longer than expected. However, she was finally finished, and she decided to go for a little drive. That drive broguht her to the beach, and the absoluetly amazing sunset had drawn her to it.
So the tiny girl got out of her car, closed the door, then started towards the sand. It was a rather mild winter night, but still... It was cold. It was probably snowing back home, where her parents were living, but she really didn't mind; she hated the snow, and that was why she moved away.

With a small pout, she placed herself down in the cool sand, and she pulled her gray jacket with a satin inside, just because her cute white babydoll dress wasn't exactly appropriate for the weather. It was more like a night gown than it was a dress. Looking at the sunset's gorgeous... Color made her kind of sad, to be quite honest. I mean, in the past... five years she had tons of boyfriends, but one was special; one was the one she had planned on being with forever. They would always sit outside and watch the sunset, and sometimes, if they were awake that early, they'd even watch the sunrise together. It was probably the most romantic thing ever. He was the guy that gave her her first kiss, took her virginity, and said 'I love you' to her for the first time. Yes, that young man happened to be Zander

Everything was so perfect. They were even talking marriage after high school was over. They were absolutely crazy for each other, and she thought that they were going to last; she thought that nothing could pull them apart. Except one day, when she came home from school in her junior year, her mother broke the news to her: they were moving. No matter how much Noelle cried, kicked, and screamed, there was nothing she could do to change her parents' minds, and she eventually had to face the fact that she'd be leaving her high school sweetheart.

Their goodbye was probably the most difficult thing she ever had to go through. She was absolutely heartbroken, and she even suggested that they could run away, just so they could be together. But eventually, she had to leave. She remembered as she walked away (backwards, of course), she kept eye contact with him, even though she was bawling her eyes out and she could barely stand. The poor thing was a mess. And what was the last thing she said? 'I love you, Zander Walker. And I promise I'll find you one day; I promise I'll come back to you somehow.'
Although she had been totally and completely broken apart and she slept for about a month straight, she eventually moved on and got some new friends, and even tried to date a few guys. Of course, nothing was all that serious, because she was still planning to go back to her boy.

With a pathetic little frown, she hugged her knees to her chest, and kind of just snuggled up under her blanket. Ugh. Now she was just having an awful day.

God, Noelle really, really missed Zander. The more she thought about him, the worse the pain was. Every guy she had ever been with was compared to that guy, and none of them seemed to measure up to him. Zander was the only guy she could ever see herself being with, and that would never change. Even if she ended up with another man, he would still be her one and only; her penguin. Their love was totally and completely special, and she just couldn't stand being away from him. She had tried calling him, but his number was different. She also went to his old house to visit him, but apparently he had moved. Of course his band made it big, and she remembered watching him on TV and practically melting every time she heard his voice. Every time his band toured, she'd go to every show she possibly could within a three hour radius, but she still didn't get to see him up close.

So eventually, she gave up. If they were really meant to be together, then they would find each other again, and they would spend the rest of their lives together. She was a strong believer in fate, and soon she was going to believe in it even more. It was so weird how it seemed like yesterday, when they were always together. The two had never been apart in the two years they were together, and surprisingly, he was the one boy that Noelle's parents approved of. Sure, he was a bit rough around the edges, but they knew that he was a total sweetheart, and he treated their daughter like absolute gold. She remembered when they got each other promise rings, and when they promised each other that they'd be together forever. Noelle still hadn't taken it off, and she never planned on it; it was a gorgeous, yet simple ring, and it really meant a lot to her.

Honestly, she didn't notice the figure approaching her right away. Well, she did, but it took her a moment to register it. Just by the way it moved, there was something oddly familiar, and she squinted a bit, as if that would help her make out what it was. And of course, when she saw that dark hair, and that flawless face, her heart practically stopped beating, and she froze. She couldn't move at all, and she didn't until he had her up in his arms. The poor thing was in so much shock, that she didn't even know what to do. So she simply put her arms around his neck, wrapped her legs around his middle, buried her face into his shoulder, and cried.
In the past two and a half years, she had never felt so complete; so whole. Whether she wanted to admit it or not, Zander was the center of her universe, and a couple of years without him was like a couple of years without sunshine. And believe me, he was missed.

And if she didn't believe in a god before (which she did), she sure as hell believe in it now. She was meant to move here; she was meant to go down to the beach today. It was probably the sweetest moment of her life, being reunited with her sweetheart on the beach, during the sunset. Her face was finally raised from his shoulder, and she gazed down into those gorgeous eyes of his, a few of her tears dripping off of her chin and jaw and onto his shirt. He had no idea on how much she had missed him, and she wasn't even sure if she could express how much she missed him; she didn't know if there were enough words for her to gather to explain it. Finally, however, she leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, but that kiss lingered for a bit, just because it felt so, so nice to just... Taste him again. One arm detached itself from its neck so she could place a hand on his cheek, and when she pulled away, she smiled weakly. She probably looked so ridiculous, crying like a baby like that.
"I told you I'd come back for you."

Basically, Zander was stuck with Noelle for life now. There was no way she'd ever leave his side, just because she'd be terrified that he'd be out of her life if he was away from her. She was so ridiculously attached and in love with him.... It was kind of pathetic, actually. He was the best thing that ever happened to her, and if she had to choose between anything in the universe and Zander, she'd choose him. He was her universe: the air she breathed, the single reason for waking up in the morning, the amazing sunshine she soaked up. She was totally, totally lost without his love, and she didn't know how she had even managed to survive those few years. There were definitely a ton of tears, a ton of sleeping, and quite a few anti-depressants. Unlike Zander, she didn't really have any way to let out her sadness; all she could do was lay in bed and cry for days at a time.

On their anniversaries, she'd be even more pathetic than she was any other day. She'd just lay in her room, go through their old pictures, and listen to Zander's band. Then she'd cry for a few hours, then just lay in bed and mope for the rest of the week. It was absolutely awful, and she didn't even know how she made it through; she really didn't. Maybe she just held onto the idea of her being reunited with the young man, and she was extremely thankful that she was reunited with him; she was thankful that she had been able to keep her promise, just because she wouldn't be able to live with the guilt if she had kept him waiting forever. I mean, she had tried her best, but it just never exactly worked out, seeing how every time she went to a show, he wouldn't be in the mood to meet fans, so she'd kind of just linger outside the bus/van area for awhile, then finally go home in the wee hours of the morning.

"I'm never leaving you again. I promise... I'm so sorry." Her hands were placed on his cheeks and she wiped his tears away, before she rubbed her nose against his. She remembered how totally empty she felt when they were driving away, and she remembered how her heart sank when she looked back and saw him running after her. It was absolutely heartbreaking, and she cried the entire drive to their new town. Her parents had received the silent treatment for a good month or so, as well. And now that she was back with him, all she wanted to do was go home, have sex, and lay in bed for a few hours like they always did. Her feelings were so intense right now, that she just wanted to 'catch up' on things right then and there. However, it was a bit cold out for htat, but they were always willing to try different things. After letting out one last happy sob, she squirmed out of his grip and let her hands slide up the front of his shirt, cold hands rested against his pale skin. Everything about this guy was perfect; it wasn't fair.

"I love you so much, Zander Matthew Walker. So, so much. I-I tried to come find you; I'd go to your shows when you were near, but I never got to talk to you... I was your biggest fan, I swear. And I still am."
Life had suddenly taken a turn for the better.

Now Noelle knew she could die happy. She was back with the love of her life, and she wouldn't have it any other way. This was the definition of true love, and she wanted to be with the guy for the rest of her life. And she had decided that if he died, she would completely give up on everything and possibly even kill herself. Because she said that they'd be together for eternity. She remembered how when they were laying in bed, she'd tell him that if he died before her, she would kill herself as soon as she found out. And she promised him that she'd never move on when she moved away, and now she felt as if god was smiling down on her, and possibly him. The first month or so that they were apart, she would cry and pray that he'd be returned to her.

He gave the sweetest kisses ever. Her heart would always skip a beat for a split second, and she'd feel like she was in heaven. But she believed that heaven wasn't a place; it was a place where total satisfaction is obtained. And right now, she felt like she had grown wings and a halo, and she felt as if they were on their own little cloud. Life had never been this good, and she was absolutely terrified that this was all just one amazing, surreal dream; it was almost too good to be true.

When he offered to take her back to his place, she nodded, her cheeks flushing a little bit. She knew that this meant that their emotions would run wild, but she honestly didn't mind; they had a ton of catching up to do. Her eyes fluttered shut when he kissed her, and she stepped a bit closer to him. "I never want to be away from you ever again. I promise that we'll together forever, but if that's not what you want, that's okay too." It was always so much fun when he carried her, and she remembered when they were home alone and had date night, he'd sweep her off of her feet and carry her upstairs... And you know the rest. He always picked her up like she was weightless, but that was actually rather convenient; that was why she had loved being so tiny. But at the same time, she hated being tiny.

I mean, being tiny meant she could never kiss Zander while they were standing, unless he picked her up of bent over, which hurt his back sometimes. Also, there was the bedroom factor, where he always had to worry about squishing her, and she'd have to yell at him a few times before he actually decided to get on top of her.
Beaming, she jumped up and placed her arms and legs around his neck and middle, then pressed a few kisses to his soft, pink lips. "Carry me, please. You know the drill."

As they walked home, Noelle kind of just rambled on about how much she had missed him, and how much she loved the guy. It was absolutely gorgeous out, and she couldn't wait to sit outside with him in a blankie and one of his sweaters. She'd always make some hot chocolate in the winter, and they'd always wish for snow, just so they could build a snow man and such. Also, once, just because they wanted snow, they went on a little skiing trip, even though neither of them could ski, and they just at outside and built snowmen. Where she moved, it snowed like hell in the winter, and she always considered calling him and inviting him to come see her, but every time, she chickened out; he was probably mad at her, and didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. But now that she knew he had missed her as much as she had missed him, she kind of regretted not calling him; she regretted not telling him to come visit for awhile.

There was no doubt that Noelle would never, ever leave him again. He didn't even know how much pain she had been in, and if he did, he would never even think about worrying. He was stuck with her for life whether he liked it or not. "I'm still wearing the ring, Zander," She said softly, before looking down at the little promise ring. It obviously wasn't worth much; they didn't exactly have all that much money back in high school. But she didn't really mind... As long as she was with him, she didn't care. I mean, she liked being spoiled by guys and everything, but any guy that did that didn't really offer as much love as Zander did. She never needed to ask him if he loved her, because she knew he did. And even when they were broken up, she still knew that he loved her because of his song lyrics. She knew that many of their sad love songs were about her; she never even doubted it.

The walk really wasn't as long as she thought it was be, which was kind of a bad thing. She never, ever wanted him to leave her sight again, and she was never going to leave his. In fact, she was never going to leave him in general.
The apartment was absolutely adorable, and she figured that it needed a woman's touch. It wasn't as messy as her apartment, and she was comfortable right away. Of course, she pouted when he put her down, but she sautered around the area, her lips curled into a smile "I like it here," She whispered, hands being placed on his chest. "Where's your bedroom? Can we go lay down?" Of course, laying down meant something more than that, but whatever. And without waiting for an answer, she pranced off down the hall and into his room. The fact that there were pictures of her in there made her smile, and she collapsed onto his bed on the usual side she laid on, her face buried into his pillow. God, it even smelled like him; his scent was the best one in the world. There was honestly no way she could ever leave ever again.
