Unabated Understatement Of The Century-RYAN ROSS

The next few months I noticed alot of changes in Ryan. He seemed happier and wasn't shy anymore. He even started talking to me alot, like we were the best of friends again. What had happened that night was never mentioned again, and I pretended like it didn't bother me and just went on with my life. The last few days i'd made it my biggest goal to spend as much time with him as possible, because tonight they were leaving to start a press release for their album.
Sometimes i'd be alone with him and just wanted to ask him about it, but I hadn't found the time yet, until tonight. We were sitting outside in a park, the sun setting behind the buildings and lighting up Ryan's eyes like fire.
Okay, so they were already like fire, but you get the point.
We were sitting on the swings, laughing our heads off and celebrating that the record had just been finished and would be released in a few months.
"I know, Pete let me hear it, it sounds amazing, I can't wait until it's released, i`ll go buy twenty copies!"
"It's not that great." He laughed.
"I bet I can swing higher than you." I laughed, sticking my tongue out at him.
"You're so immature."
"Then why are you trying to swing so high now?!!?"
"I never said you were the only immature one!"
We ended up jumping out of the swings one after another and rolling onto the grass beside each other, the moon now fully in the sky and glowing above us.
I rolled over on the grass, until I was so close to Ryan our bodies were touching.
"Ryan." I whispered into his ear.
"Yeah?" He said, turning to face me.
"I..I. Nevermind." I said turning away.
"Okay." He said, laughing.
I choked, I couldn't do it, I couldn't tell him. He would never know how I felt. He would never know how I was dying to be with him. He would never know how much I lov-
"If it's any consent, I love you back." He said, winking.
"What? You? Oh.."
I was in shock.
Even more in shock when he pulled my hand in his and held it, walking me back to our house.

Pete drove everyone to the airport in his van, all of us crammed in the back, my head resting on Ryan's shoulder, dozing off until the brakes sqeauked and woke me up.
"We're here!" Pete yelled.
"Obviously." Brendon mumbled, standing up and walking into the airport.
"I`ll walk you to your gate." I whispered to Ryan, holding onto his arm the whole way.
"Here we are." He gleamed, once we were at the gate.
"So, what does this mean, Ryan?" I asked. "What do you mean?"
"You said you loved me."
"Yeah, what's your point?" He asked.
"Well, when someone tells someone they love them it usually-"
He groaned.
"I said I loved you, Missa." He paused. "I never said we could be together."
"Oh."
"My plane's here now. I've got to go."
"Yeah, you don't want to miss it." I said, choking back tears.
"Yeah, bye." He said, waving and walked down the connector to the plan until I couldn't see him anymore.

I turned my back and began walking back through the airport, until I heard my name being called.
"Missa!"
"Yeah?" I asked, turning around and seeing Ryan. "What do you want?"
"I-you-we.."He pulled me to him and kissed me.
"What was that for?"
"I love you."He kissed me again. "And I realized I can't live without you."
"Are you serious?"
"More serious than ever. Will you be with me again, Melissa Anne Urie?"
"Yes." I replied, pulling Ryan into a hug until I couldn't breathe.
"Good. I-shit!" He yelled.
He'd just missed his flight.
"You missed your plane."
"I know. But I want to be with you, another one leaves tomorrow."
I smiled at him, for the first time in two years feeling complete happiness.
"Is this real?" I whispered into his ear.
"Yes. I`ll be the best boyfriend I could ever be, Missa, I mean it."
"I think boyfriend is the understatement of the year."
I grinned at him and threw my arms around his waist.
Not only was this perfect, it was perfection with Ryan.
And that's all i've ever wished for.
