Laura's POV

I wake up to the noise of beeping horns in cars outside. I groan, slowly stretching and getting out of bed. I open the curtains to see a white blanket of snow covering the roads. "Snow!" I scream excitedly quickly getting changed into my wooliest jumper, leggings and boots.

I quickly run down the stairs, trying not to fall and accidentally go unconscious. I open the door and gasp. The snow is a foot deep, and people in cars are desperately trying to clear the road to try to continue their daily lives. But not me.

The 5 year old child comes out of me and I quickly start creating a snowman. The snow was so cold and I could barely feel my hands afterwards but I was proud of the little snowman I created. I go back to my flat and get a carrot and some old buttons in one of my cupboards. I go back outside and stick them in Steve (idk) the snowman.

People driving past smile at me as if I'm a little girl. But let's be honest, who doesn't become a child again when they see snow? I wipe the snow off my jacket and slowly walk back inside. I pull my socks off my feet and sit down on my sofa, holding my fresh cup of hot chocolate. I sigh in delight.

My phone vibrates, it's from Jack.

J: Merry early Christmas! Do you want to come and stay with us to celebrate? x
L: Sure I would love that! x
J: Come today if you can!

I turn off my phone, smiling. I won't have to spend Christmas alone this year. It's my first Christmas without Joe at my side. But that won't stop me spending the best Christmas ever with my family.

I walk into my very messy room and begin to search for suitable clothes to bring with me. I pack my comfiest clothes, woolly jumpers, leggings and boots. I grab a few books and my laptop, along with my phone and the chargers. I look around the place one more time before locking the front door and walking down the stairs.

Joe's POV

Our plan is in action, I pack up my clothes and I leave, quickly getting into a taxi. I have to get there before Laura gets there, or else the surprise will be ruined.

I thank the driver, giving him way too much of a tip but before he could say anything I was gone. I quickly run up the stairs, quickly past Conor's old flat and I run up to Jack and Mark's flat door, nearly crashing face first into it.

I knock on the door, and Mark opens it quickly, pushing me inside. "Is she here yet?" I ask him and he shakes his head. "Do you have everything?" He says and I nod. "Yes, I'm so scared Mark, what if she still hasn't made up her mind" I say sadly, I look over and I see Jack walk out of his room. "Joe, if she loves you she'll do the right thing" He says supportively, patting my back.

I smile at him, as a sign of thanks. "Anyways, you have some stuff to do! Get set up and we will be gone for a little while" Mark says, holding Jack's hand. "Ok" I say, quickly taking some flowers out of my bag and I begin to pick the petals off quickly. "Uh Joe what are you doing?" Mark says, concerned. "You'll see" I say excitedly.

Hannah's POV

I grab a bunch of flowers from Tesco and quickly buy them along with chocolates and a card. I made sure it was her favourite chocolate, Terry's Chocolate Orange (sponsored by Terry's Chocolate Orange lol). I jump back into the car and begin my journey back to Laura's.

I feel especially happy today for some reason, maybe it's because I've finally found the girl of my dreams and I have a chance with her. I smile to myself, waving at another driver for no apparent reason. What is wrong with me? Is this what it is like to be in love?

I pull up outside the block of flats and I walk inside, waiting for the elevator to come down. I jump up and down excitedly. I can't wait to see her face again. The elevator eventually comes down and I get in, pressing Laura's floor number. I check myself in the elevator mirror before stepping back out.

I knock on the door and wait. And wait. And wait. But nobody came (IF YOU GET THAT REFERENCE ILY) to the door. I sigh, she must not be home. Maybe she's gone to Jack and Mark's for the Christmas? It's worth a shot anyways.

I quickly get back into the car after running down what seemed like a million flights of stairs and begin my journey to Jack and Mark's. Hopefully she is here.

Laura's POV

I wait for the very slow elevator to reach the ground floor. I finally get into it and press the button again. The doors close and the elevator slowly moves up. I relax when the doors open again, I'm kind of claustrophobic and if I got stuck in there I'd probably die.

I drag my suitcase to the door and I knock but nobody answers the door. "Jack? Mark? I'm here!" I call, but still no reply. I try the door knob and it surprisingly opens, Mark and Jack have been very careful since the whole "getting locked in and couldn't escape" time.

I place my suitcase on the table and I look around. Out of the corner of my eye I see the colour red. I turn around to see petals scattered on the floor. Were Jack and Mark having some kind of love scene moment? 'Cause I don't want to be a part of it.

But the curious person within me wanted to follow them. So I do, and it leads me into my old bedroom, except it's dark and there's a few candles lighting at the top of the room. Cinnamon, my favourite. I follow the light and I sit on my bed, confused by the whole scenario.

Suddenly I feel a presence with me in the room and I see Joe, smiling nervously at me. "Joe? What's happening? Did you pl-" "Okay, I know you're going to have a lot of questions but just listen to me" He says slowly.

I nod. He looks pretty in this lighting. I suddenly feel like the nervous teen I was when I first met him in my teenage years. I had a thing for Joe, and I will always have a thing for him.

"Okay, so, we've been through a lot in the last few months but there's a lot I want to say to you. Laura, I've always been in love with you, ever since I met you ten years ago. It seems like a long time but the time flied when I was with you. You make me smile, laugh and cry, but I still love you. I want you to know I would never lie to you, I've always been completely honest with you and I always will be. I never kissed Chloe intentionally, she kissed me. She wanted a love like ours. She was jealous. Ever since you left I've been hurt, crying everyday and I need you back. I've given you time and I respect that you might still be confused but I feel like you'll make the right choice. Laura, I love you and I want you in my life forever no matter what, will you marry me?"

I'm in complete shock. Joe has literally just poured out all his feelings onto the floor. I've had time to think and I know I've made the right choice. I begin to cry from happiness, shock, surprise and many other feelings.

"Of course I will!" I shout, kissing him. He slips the ring onto my finger and I squeal happily. The diamond is so beautiful and shimmers in the light. I look at Joe and he's bawling his eyes out. "I can't believe you said yes. I LOVE YOU" He shouts and grabs me, lifting me up into the air.

"I love you too Joe, I just needed time" I say and he nods. He kisses me again and the kiss begins to get passionate. There's been feelings that I've been hiding for a while now, and I'm finally letting them all out, my dream has come true.

"I'm finally marrying J-" I get cut off.
"Laura! Are you home?" I hear a voice from the kitchen. My mouth drops.

Hannah.
