“What would you say to Chinese food?” His mind refused to let what I said sink in.
“What would you say to what I just told you?” I folded my arms and blew my bangs out of my face.
“What can I say?”
“Anything, as long as it isn’t in the form of a question. We aren’t playing 20 questions.” I put my hand on top of his and he put his head on my shoulder.
“Are you sure?”
“Dang it Chad, I told you no more questions!” I laughed and pushed him off of me.
“Please tell me you’re kidding,” his voice quivered as he held me in his arms.
“If I could, I would. It’s not like I wanted this to happen,” my voice broke as a throbbing headache started. “I’ll be right back. Give me a second.” I got up from the couch and went to the kitchen. I looked for my Aspirin and just sighed.
“What are we going to do?” His question floated to my ears and I just started to cry. I didn’t want to be weak around him. After only dating for 6 months, I didn’t know if he was strong enough to be strong for me.
His arms surprised me. They wrapped around me and I just buried my face in his chest.
“I may not be the strongest person sweetie, but I love you and whatever it takes I will help you get through this.” His words soaked into my skin and soothed away every ache and pain I felt at that moment. With those words I knew I had a fight chance. I would make it through whatever I had to face. I would come out of it a stronger and more determined person, because he loved me. 1

Very nice! You left it open enough that later, if you wanted, you could right more about what is happening.
But
It's also complete enough that you can fill in the blanks for yourself and your own experiences.
beginning: 5, language: 5, plot: 5, ending: 5, dialog: 5, characters: 5.
