We pulled up to the three story beach house that had a million tall windows and a very moder look to it, luckily it wasn't around any other house making it a bit secluded. I felt my hand become sweaty as I shook my leg nervously. "We have been in this car for to long, Wesley already took our bags in relax Elena." Alex said rubbing my arms up and down. I couldn't relax I was so scared.

"What if they yell at me or they make me cry?" I asked him feeling completely terrified as I looked at the beach house.

"I'll be there next to you the whole time, just hold my hand and focus on me okay?" He said guiding me out the car.

"I don't know I think we should go back to campus." I said trying to stay in the car only I forgot that Alex is much stronger than me and easily picked me up and carried me out the car. "Alex I'm not ready please." I cried out as he walked me to the front door bridal style.

"Just relax and focus on me okay. I'll hold you okay?" He said making me calm down a bit more. I gripped his shirt tightly probably wrinkling it in the process. We entered the home and I smelled the familiar scent of vanilla and lavender making my heart ache again. I buried my head in Alex chest afraid if I don't I'll faint. "We are gonna enter the living room, where they are okay?" Alex said as he kept walking I gripped tighter and that's when I heard the familiar voices of my parents making my heart stop.

"I'm so scared." I whispered in Alex chest making him rub my back as he carries me into the room.

"Sorry it took so long everybody, she's really scared right now." Alex said making me grip tighter and try to hide in his arms. "It's okay Elena." He said tilting my head towards him and kissing my forehead making me calm down. "I'm gonna let you down okay, just I'll be right here for you." He said as he gently lowered me down to the floor. Once he let go of me I almost fell down until he caught me and held me up since I was shaking so bad.

"Elena, honey... please look at us." I heard my mother's broken voice making my heart ache again.

"Sweetpea, please." I heard my dad's voice also breaking. I took a deep breath and looked up at Alex who was only holding me up and smiling at me as I slowly turned my head towards my parents and seeing them made me completely crumble and fall to the ground crying.

"I'm so sorry." I said softly as my body shakes and I felt Alex sit down next to me and hold me in his arms rocking me back and forth.

"Just relax darling, they aren't mad at you." I heard Alex say rubbing my back and placing me in his lap as he held me tight.

"I'm just so sorry that I was a terrible daughter." I cried out in Alex's chest as he rubbed my back and comforted me.

"No we're sorry Elena, we didn't mean to drive you away." I heard my mother say with the broken voice still.

"Go give them a hug darling." Alex said looking me in my red and puffy eyes. He helped me back up and when he turned me around I saw my mother and father standing there with tears in their eyes. My mother was already crying and so was my father. Alex gave me a slight push which made me fall into my parents arms. I felt them hug me tight and I hugged them back.

"We love you Elena." My father said in my ear holding me tighter making me weak in the knees.

"I love you both so much. I'm so sorry for all the stupid and terrible things I've done." I said with my own broken voice. I pulled away from them as my mother grabbed my face and looked at me smiling big.

"You've grown up so much, we are so proud of you." My mother said which made me cry even more.

"You turned into a beautiful woman." My dad said also grabbing me by the face and looking at me.

I hugged them both again as we all calmed down and took a breather. I took a step back from them and returned to Alex's side holding his hand tightly. "Mom, dad, this my boyfriend and the real love of my life Alex Woods." I said looking up at him in adoration.

"We know he is sweetpea, and we couldn't be happier that you finally found the one that would make you happy forever." My dad said making my heart swell up. "We have alot to talk about so, if you wanna go and get unpacked and freshen up. We will be down here getting ready to have lunch alright?" My dad said messing up my hair and pulling me into another hug before walking into the kitchen, my mother hugged me to and followed him in there.

I saw old man sitting on the couch reading the newspaper making me smile. I looked up at Alex and led him up to the third floor where my whole room was. "I told you they didn't hate you darling." I heard Alex say as we walked up the stairs.

"I'm sorry for not believe you, it was just so hard to accept it." I said once we reached the third floor. I opened the only door and let Alex in first as he took in the whole area. He whistled making me giggle at how he acted.

"Big room for a small girl." He said pulling me to him and hugging me tightly. "I am really proud that you did this though, and I love you so much." He said kissing my head and holding me tight.

"Thank you Alex, seriously I don't know what I'd do without you." I said standing on my tipy toes and kissing him on the lips softly, we both smiled into the kiss and I couldn't help but fall deeper in love with this man.
