BROOKSWhen I got home from Crystal's, I decided to go ahead and plan out a dinner for us. I wanted to do it on her birthday, but at the same time, I didn't want to take her from her dad that day. I called Jonah into my room and told him I needed help planning a dinner date for the day after Crystal's birthday. He looked at me and his mouth was wide open. He said, “Brooks, are you feeling ok?" I laughed and said I am fine Jonah. He said, “You have never taken a girl out." I said I know but with Crystal, I want to be different. With her, I feel different. I want to be the best boyfriend I can be for her. With what I did to her and what she has had to go through in her life, she deserves to be treated like a queen and I am going to do everything I can to make her feel like she is. Jonah just stood there staring at me. I said I promise I am not on drugs nor have I been drinking. I really want to be different for her. I love her Jonah. I finally found someone I can be myself with and

CRYSTAL It's Friday and today is my 18th birthday. I get to spend the rest of the day with my dad later. He told me he was getting off early and was going to go buy us some steaks to cook out on the grill when he got home from work. I stayed home from school today since I am caught up with all my assignments and I am passing all my classes with straight A's. I haven't changed out of my PJs yet so I am just lounging around in my shorts and tank top. I am really surprised that I haven't heard from Brooks today. I figured he would have been the first to call or text me to wish me happy birthday but Jonah was. Maybe he was up all night and is still asleep. I decided that since I was home today that I was going to go through my room and do a deep clean and put some of my stuff up that would be seen as childish, like my stuffed animals that are on a shelf and my favorite doll from when I was younger. I also took some of the posters I had on my wall down and put them in the same box. I don'

BROOKS Watching that movie with Crystal, had me feeling some type of way. She warned me that is was about a toxic relationship but I didn't think it was that bad. The main male character was like me in ways and the main female character was like her. I kind of felt like I was watching a movie about us just the plot was a little different and I am not British. When the movie was over Crystal wiped her face and I could tell she had been letting the tears fall. I asked if she was ok and she told me she was fine. She said the movie just got to her but I knew it was more than that. I knew Crystal was thinking about what I did to her. I stood up and told her to come with me. She asked where we were going and I said to sit outside. I pulled out a chair and sat down and pulled Crystal into my lap. I rested my head on her back and said I am really sorry for what I did cutie. Crystal turned to where she was looking at me and said,“Brooks, why are you bringing that back up? It's my birthday a

CRYSTALAfter Brooks left, I went inside and took a shower. When I got out, I went to my room and got my journal out and began writing about my birthday. When I finished writing, I started to draw the necklace he got me and the next thing I knew I was waking up with my face on my journal and the sun was out. I looked at the time and saw it was 11 a.m. I got up and saw I had 3 text messages. One was from my dad letting me know he had to go into work, one was from Jonah telling me he was glad I had a good birthday and the other was from Brooks. I opened his text and when I saw that he was going to be coming down at 11:15. I jumped up and put my hair up in a messy bun, went to the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I ran back to my room and put my journal on my desk and put my dirty clothes in the basket. I went into the living room and sat down on the couch. I turned the TV on and flipped through the channels. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. I ran to th

BROOKSI knew Crystal was going to try to get out of this date once she saw the place. From what I have seen since I met her, she is a simple girl. I know she would be happy eating wings or even a burger but I need to show her that she is worth more than a 6 dollar meal. I need to show her I am going to do my best to give her what she deserves. I love her and I don't ever want to lose her. She is my reason for being a better person and I know if I was to lose her again, I would probably end up worse than I was when I met her. I know I would end up drinking again and wouldn't be able to stop myself. Once we were seated, I could tell she was a little uncomfortable so I reached for her hand and she reached for mine. I rubbed her hand and she smiled. I said relax cutie. It's just a restaurant. I am not worried about what the total is going to be. I will take care of it and you. She relaxed in her seat and the waiter came and asked what we wanted to drink and if we wanted to go ahead and

CRYSTALI laid there in the backseat of Brooks' car while he cleaned my juices off of me and thought about what we had just done. I don't know what came over me and made me want to do that but I liked it. I feel alive when I am with Brooks and I don't ever want this feeling to go away. When he was finished cleaning us both off, I sat up and slid my panties back on I fixed my dress and climbed back in the front seat. I lowered the visor and fixed my hair and makeup in the mirror. Brooks climbed back up front and asked if I was ok. I told him I was fine and said I enjoyed what we had just done. He smiled and said he enjoyed it too. I told him I didn't want to go home, that I wanted to stay with him tonight but I also didn't want to make my dad mad by being out all night. Brooks said,“Why don't we go back to your house and stay in the living room on the couch? You'll be home and we will be out in the open so your dad won't think anything happened between us." I said that sounded like a

BROOKSWhen I got home, Jonah was sitting on the couch. He turned and asked where I had been. I told him I fell asleep on Crystal's couch after we got back from our date last night. He smiled at me and said, “You're welcome for that." I said welcome for what? He said,“I am the one who planned that date remember?"I laughed and said yeah I remember and thank you for planning that for me. He asked how she liked the dinner and walk and I said she loved the food after she argued with me about just getting wings and as far as the walk goes, She ended up crying happy tears when I gave her the promise ring. Jonah said,“So you are serious about this? You aren't just doing this to get her back in bed?" I said why would I give her a promise ring just to get her in bed, Jonah? I love her and yet I hurt her. I am doing what I feel is the right thing for me. I want to be with her and I don't ever what to hurt her again. That ring was a promise to her, that I will do everything I can possibly

CRYSTALWhen I opened the door for Brooks, I was surprised to see Jonah pop out from behind him. After I let them in, I excused myself so I could go put something else on. When I came back into the living room, Brooks and Jonah were sitting on the couch and Brooks had the TV remote in his hand flipping channels. I laughed and said you just look so comfy on my couch like you live here or something. Brooks looked over at me and said, “Well, I practically do live here. I am here more than I am at home now."Jonah said, “You can keep him here. I'll take his room when he moves in." I burst out laughing and said I don't know how my dad would like me moving him in. looks like you will be keeping your room, Jonah. I went and sat down next to Brooks and he put his hand on my leg. Jonah looked at me and made a gagging face. I shook my head and said get used to it Jonah. We hold hands and cuddle when he is here. I asked Jonah what he had been up to and he rubbed his neck and said not much. I

BROOKSI got a text from Viola saying crystal was on her way. I knew I had to hurry and finish putting everything up. When I finished hanging everything, I heard her car pull up. I took a few deep breaths and calmed myself. I saw the light in the foyer turn on and I knew I was seconds away from either being the happiest man alive or being turned down. I made sure all the baby pictures were in order and I made sure all of our pictures were in order. Jonah was hiding off to the side of the yard to capture the face Crystal was going to make when she saw all of this. I could hear footsteps so I got down on one knee and had the ring box opened and ready. When the door opened she began to cry. I said, Crystal Lynn Martini, I never thought I would ever find someone that I would fall in love with but there you were. You opened my heart to the idea of loving someone and giving them a piece of me that I had never been willing to give to anyone. You made me want to be a better person and be a be

CRYSTALToday is the day I graduate high school. My adult life begins tomorrow. I have worked my ass off to be here today. I am super excited to walk across that stage when they call my name. I know my mom is up there smiling and is proud of the young woman I have become. I already know my dad is proud of me. He reminds me every chance he gets. Everyone who means something to me will be here. Kinzlee and I are sitting together since our last names are close to each other. She was shocked to see me when they called for graduation rehearsals. I explained how I ended up getting to walk the stage with them and she told me she was proud of me. She asked about Brooks and I and I smiled when I showed her the promise ring he gave me. She said she was happy for me and said she and Brent were talking about moving in together. I told her Brooks wanted me to move in with him. When everyone was seated, They began their speeches and I tried not to laugh at Brooks making faces at me. When My row was

BROOKS 3 months laterIt's been months since I touched a bottle of liquor. I have kept my promise to Crystal and I have talked to her when I get the urge to drink. It definitely helps. Crystal graduates in 2 days. I am so proud of her for all the hard work she did to get here. My mom, Jonah, and Ray were invited to the graduation and she even invited Viola. A month ago, Crystal's dad had me come to the house so he could talk to Crystal. He knew this talk was going to be a big one and knew she would probably take it better if I was there. When he sat her down, He told her he was ready to take the next step with Viola and ask her to marry him. Crystal freaked out at first but after I calmed her down she told her dad it was ok. Since then she has been trying to spend a little more time getting to know her soon-to-be stepmom and I have been able to spend more time with Jonah and even spend time with my mom and Ray. Every time I take my shirt off and see the birthday gifts Crystal had don

CRYSTALAfter I got dressed, Brooks and I headed to Roadhouse for dinner. The whole way to the restaurant, Brooks held my hand. I smiled every time I looked over at him. After we were seated, Brooks asked if I had any more plans that he should know about. I laughed and said maybe. He stared at me and said, "What else do you have planned baby?"I said well, after dinner, we are going to the mall to pick out a shirt and pair of pants to go with the shoes, and then we have one other stop. After that, I am all yours. He asked about this other stop and I said I can't tell you. You will have to wait and see. I hope you like the surprise though. I wasn't sure If it was something I should do but I said screw it, we only live once. He stared at me with a confused expression. After our bread and drinks got to the table, the server asked if we were ready to order. I said let me get the 11 oz Sirloin with sauteed mushrooms, a baked potato, and vegetables. Brooks ordered the 16 oz Sirloin with sa

BROOKSSo far today has been a pretty easy day. It's 4:30 and I know I get to go home and see the most beautiful girl in the world soon. I am thankful her dad doesn't mind her spending my birthday with me. I thought about cooking on the grill tonight but I'm not sure what time Crystal will be getting home so I figured ordering take-out would be better. Jonah called as soon as he got off the bus to tell me Happy Birthday and my mom has been blowing my phone up with baby pictures and memories all day. I love my momma and thank goodness she hasn't shown any to Crystal yet. I was such a cute kid but all my poses are very weird. When I locked up the shop, I headed home to take a shower. I pulled into the driveway and headed inside. When I walked into the house, I saw a gift sitting on the island. I walked up to it and looked around to see if Crystal was hiding in the kitchen. I smiled as I read the tag on it. [HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY MY LOVE! I LOVE YOU!]I decided to wait to open it until I

CRYSTALWhen I got home, my dad informed me that Viola was going to be moving in soon. I have a week to try and figure out how I feel about it and here I am still trying to work it out in my head that they are together. It's still hard to think about my dad with anyone other than my mom, but I guess I need to just suck it up and deal with it because Viola will be moving in even if I am not OK with it. Tomorrow is Brooks's birthday and I still haven't figured out what I am going to do for him. I figured I'd call Jonah later and ask him what I should do. I did all my chores and finished my laundry. I went and sat outside on the front porch and began writing in my journal about everything that had been going on. When I finished writing, I realized I had been outside for a while. It was getting late and I went inside to start dinner. My dad came into the kitchen and asked if I wanted any help and I told him I would love for him to help me and that I missed us cooking dinner together. He t

BROOKSWhen we left Crystal's dads, Crystal fell asleep in the car. The ride back to my house was quiet except for Crystal snoring. When we pulled up at the house, I woke her up and she asked where we were. I said we are at home babe. She laid her head back on the seat and went back to sleep. I laughed and got out. I walked over to the passenger side and got her out. I carried her inside and laid her down on the bed. I went into the kitchen and got a glass of water and some aspirin. I went back into the bedroom and set it on the table next to the bed. I leaned down and kissed her forehead and before I walked out of the room, I heard her mumble something. I walked back over to the bed and asked her what she said. She turned her head with her eyes closed and said,"I love you so much and I can't wait until we have a baby."I stood there not sure what to say to her because I know she is not in her right mind. I finally said just get some sleep baby. We will talk tomorrow. I went into the

CRYSTALIt's been 2 months since Brooks moved into his house and I love being able to stay the night with him. My dad wasn't really ok with me staying over on school nights but I proved to him I could still go to school every day and be there on time. Brooks and my dad went in together and bought me a car so I could get to school and Brooks not have to take me every day. I waited on the last-period bell to ring so I can get out of here and head to the shop. Until I get the job at the daycare after I graduate in 3 months, I am going to work there and help Brooks out. His card shop has been doing pretty well. I didn't realize just how many kids actually play these card games. Brooks is so good with the kids that come in there. He gives them tips and helps the beginners by having card matches with them. I for the life of me can not understand how to play these games but it melts my heart watching Brooks with the kids. He has been smiling a lot more and his mood has been peaceful. Brooks'

BROOKSWhen we pulled into my mom's driveway, Ray was getting out of his truck and Jonah was standing on the porch. I asked Jonah where mom was and he said she went to the store but should be back any minute. I walked inside with Ray and began taking my bed apart and helped him get my dresser out of the house and loaded up. As we were heading back in to get my bed frame and mattress, My mom pulled into the driveway and got out. She opened the trunk and told Jonah to help her unload the groceries and put them in the back of my explorer. I asked her what she was doing and she told me to hush and said she bought me some food and supplies to start me off. I smiled and told my mom thank you but I didn't need her to do that. She told me to shut it or she would come organize my house and clean it. I laughed and said, fine mom. You win. Thank you for getting me all that. My mom closed the back of my car and walked up to the porch and smiled at Crystal. I said mom, this is Crystal. Crystal thi
