A/N I know it's shorter than the first chapter, but I wanted to get some of it up before I leave (again). So enjoy! And please review, so I feel loved.

In a crowded room, his face is all she ever sees. From the moment she steps in, he is all her eyes go to. The moment she wakes up to the second she falls asleep, he is always on her mind. Nothing can make him leave. When she writes, he is constantly by her side, guiding her hand. Kevin is all Rose could ever want. She fits perfectly with him. And he likes it. He likes holding her hand, having her in his arms. He likes being with her, he likes feeling her breath on his cheek. He loves knowing that she loves him. And she does. With all of her heart, and more.

She loves being in the same universe as him. She loves being in the same galaxy as him. She loves being in the same solar system as him. She loves being on the same planet as him. She loves being on the same continent as him. She loves being in the same country as him. She loves being in the Midwest with him. She loves being in the same state as him. She loves being in the town as him. She loves being in the same neighborhood as him. She loves being on the same street as him. She loves being at the same intersection as him. She loves when she's on the same driveway as him. She loves being in the same car as him. She loves being on the same porch as him. She loves being in the same room as him. She loves being able to sit next to him. She loves leaning against him. She loves having his arm around her. She loves holding his hand. She loves him holding her other hand. She loves having his head on hers. She loves hearing his beating heart. She loves being tangled up with him. She loves how much stronger she is when she's with him. She loves how she gets weak when she's with him. She loves knowing that she is wanted and loved by someone as perfect as him. But most of all, Rose loves Kevin.

They can't wait until they can be together. He's going to pick her up in four years, then they'll start living. The only times they're truly alive are when they're next to each other. She can't wait for their someday. The day when they'll run off into the sunset, leaving behind everything they'd ever known, and creating a new life, side by side. Maybe they would sail the world. It would be the ultimate adventure, especially with Kevin there. But first she's like to go back to California, just once. Run through the waves, walk the boardwalk, once more. Just like when she was little. Back when she was untouched, innocent, and pure. Back when she had no scars. None caused by her, none caused by anyone else. Wow, that was a long time ago. Maybe when she was…five? Six? It was before her mom found out about the other woman, that's for sure. But she'll leave all that behind in her dust. Maybe she would change her name, shed the old Rose, create a new one. Boy, would she like that. To start over, wipe the slate clean.
