Chapter Three: Cuts On Paper Hearts 

*1 Week Later*

"You have to be kidding me." Brooklynn said as she looked down from her window as beautiful as ever, staring down at me. It had been two weeks since she moved in and she was my summer obsession that I took to heart. "What do you want?" she asked with a smile. It was around two a.m. and I woke her up by throwing rocks at her window.

"Wanna come out for a while?" I asked her. My friend Garrett stood next to me, nodding his head that she should come along.

"John, are you stupid?" she asked me. "It's like really late!" she said.

"You come from the city that never sleeps and you're telling me that right now is too late?" I asked her in all seriousness. "C'mon goodie two-shoes, be a rebel." I teased yet encouraged it. 

"C'mon!" Garrett yelled!

"Please!" I said with a cute smile, turning my head to the side. She sat there from the window ledge for a few minutes and rolled her eyes and shot a smile. 

"Give me a few minutes." she told us and we waited. She got changed and started to climb down the side of the house. "You're a bitch." she started laughing in my face and pulled me in for a huge hug for no reason. 

"Hi, I'm Garrett!" he waved and smiled at Brooklynn.

"Hi, I think you know who I am." she laughed as Garrett stuck out his hand. She refused it and went in for a hug instead. Garrett looked pleasantly surprised. "Where are we going?" she asked us and we just smiled at her.

"Just get in the car," Garrett told her.

"John, tell me." she demanded as we drove away. She said it over and over and over.

"Settle down!" I laughed. "It's a frickin' surprise!" 

*30 Minutes Later - at a bar - Brooklynn's POV*

"Wait right here," John told me. I didn't know what to do. He left me sitting on a bar stool with a bottle of water and ran away with four of his friends. This wasn't going to be funny if he ditched me. He'd have hell coming for him if he did. Just then, I looked up to the stage, there they were. I didn't know what was going on. "Hi, I'm John and we're The Maine." he said to the crowd of 50 or less and they went right into a stellar song. There third song was a cover and John just paused everything, yet I didn't know what was going on. All I knew was that I was lost in his voice. "So, there's this girl that I want to dedicate this song to." he smiled at me. "She's right there," he pointed and I blushed. "Her name is Brooklynn... I am not shitting you, her name is Brooklynn." the crowd laughed. "Well, she moved next door to me about a week or so ago and the first time we met, this song played in my head and the next night, I sat in my room all day learning it." he said. "This song is called "Only One" and it's by Yellowcard. I hope you like it!" he smiled and then as they started, Pat stopped and ran around his drum kit and yelled into the mic. "May I add, this has some kick ass drum parts on it?" he smiled and went back to his stool. Everyone laughed.

"That's Pat everyone, he's the baby of the band." Garrett said with a chuckle.

"Anyway!" John yelled with excitement. He opened his mouth and sang this beautiful song better than the original. "Here I go, scream my lungs out trying to get to you; you are my only one. I'll let you go, but there's just no one who gets me like you do. You are my only, my only one."  Whatever he was trying to say, well, he had my heart from day one. Getting off stage, he came down and looked me straight in the eyes even though he was sweating profusely and he just smiled the smile that is John. 

"That was amazing." I told him since I was seriously in shock. "Why didn't you tell me before?" 

"Because..." he smiled and leaned into kiss me. I think he's my prince. He's perfect in every way.
