Emma
"Marry me?"

I'm pretty sure I would've fallen off the desk if his hands weren't on my waist. "ARE YOU INSANE?!"

Something flashes in his eyes but I'm too surprised, shocked, scared, to notice.

"Sorry, wrong question" he smirks. My heart is pounding like crazy and I'm not sure if I'm breathing properly.

"What do you.. wrong question?" I ask more softly this time.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks and I'm sure I died at that moment.

I blink once.

Twice.

Then everything is spinning. I try to stay still but I'm dizzy.

"Emma? Are you alright? You seem pale?" Jace asks.

And then I pass out.

Jace
Oh my God. She passed out. Can't I do anything right?

"Emma? Emma?" I shake her shoulders but she doesn't move.

I carry her and gently lay on my bed and stare at her. I know she passed out because it was too much for her.

I shouldn't have done that. I thought her reaction would have been funny to see but it was anything but funny.

When I asked her to marry me, I was kidding, of course. But her reaction meant I never wanted to marry you and I never will and I have to say, it hurt. A lot.

I know we're still in high school but ever since I was little, I had always dreamed of marrying Emma and having a family with her. Then why did I reject her?

I sat at the corner of my room, brought my legs up and buried my head in my knees.

Emma
I opened my eyes slowly. What happened?

I sit up and groan. Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something important?

I look around the room and see something at corner of the room. I almost scream my lungs out until I notice it's Jace.

Everything comes rushing back to me. He asked me to marry him, I yelled at him and then he asked me to be his girlfriend.

I take a deep breath and climb out of bed. I walk towards him slowly and notice he's asleep.

I walk directly to him and squat to front of him. I kiss his cheek and he wakes up.

He raises his head to look at me and I grin. "Yes."

He looks confused for a moment before the biggest smile I've ever seen crosses his face.

"Oh God, really?" He stands up and sweeps me up.

"Yeah" I laugh. He's so excited and it's kind of unnerving that I can bring so much happiness to someone and take it away in an instant. Like my dad.

I groan, getting dizzy from so much spinning. "Put me down already. You're acting like a four year old girl who got a unicorn for a birthday present."

He puts me down and kisses my forehead. "This is so much better than a unicorn" he says and I blush furiously and then he adds. "But unicorns are awesome though."

I roll my eyes. "Yeah. Considering the fact that they don't exist."

"I got me a smart girlfriend" he wiggles his eyebrows and I blush a bit. What is it with the blushing?

"You know you don't have to be smart to know unicorns don't exist, right? You just have to be mature enough to tell yourself that unicorns are mythological creatures."

"What mature?" He tilts his head and scratches it.

"I give up. I'm done with you. This relationship is done" I shake my head.

"But we just started dating like 45 seconds ago" he whines. "46,47,48,49........"

I roll my eyes. "You do know I'm kidding?"

"Yeah" he grins and leans in closer to me. "Who wouldn't want a piece of this?"

I push him and he lands on his butt. "Someone who hasn't showered."

I bring out my toothbrush from my bag and head to the bathroom.

I brush my teeth and shower. I use his shampoo and it smells like him. When I finish, I use a spare towel and head out.

He's sitting on one side of the bed, his back to me, eating his pancakes on the bed and he looks up at me. "What?"

"I need to change. Get out" I point to door.

"But I'm eating, plus I won't look" he gives me an innocent smile and I huff.

He hands me a hoodie and sweatpants which were on the bed. "Wear mine."

"What is it with you alpha males and your girlfriends wearing your clothes?" I ask but still collect it anyways.

"First, I'm not an alpha male, I'm the football team captain. Second, it looks cute on you" he smiles and goes back to eating.

I turn around and quickly put it on. I turn back to see him smirking at me.

"Were you watching me?" I ask.

"Depends" he shrugs and takes another bite of his pancakes.

I lunge toward and grab his tray. "My baby!" He screeches dramatically.

"I'll eat it" I narrow my eyes at him.

"Please, don't. I'll tell you everything. I wasn't watching you."

"Good" I say and sit beside him. "Can't you offer your girlfriend  bite?"

He just grins at me. "What?"

"Nothing" he shakes his head. "Have a bite."

I take a bite of the pancake with whipped cream and a cherry on top. "Oh God" I say, my mouth full.

"I know right?" He smirks then sees me attacking his food. "No! What are you doing?"

"It's dhelichious" I mumble. His expression is one of plain horror. I finish with the food and drop it on the bedside table.

"My baby" he whispers. I roll my eyes at his overdramatic scene.

"So what am I?" I cross my arms and huff.

"My girl" he winks.

"Yeah right" I roll my eyes but my face betrays me by blushing.

"Wanna make out... girlfriend?"

***

"HE DID WHAT?!" Mia yelled, her eyes widening.

She's leaving tomorrow and we were packing her stuff. "He proposed, I passed out, he asked me to be his girlfriend, I said yes" I repeated for the 100th time today.

She just stared at me blankly as it sank in. 5,4,3,2,1.....

"I won! I won! I won!" She squealed, jumping.

"I'm sorry. Did you say you won?"

"Yeah, Emily and I made a bet" she grins.

"A.. a bet?" I asked dumbfounded. My sister and best friend made me bet on me.

"Yeah, if Jace will ask you out before or after I'm gone. And I won" she squealed.

I rolled my eyes and let her continue her victory dance. She quickly grabs her phone and dials my sister.

"Hey.. Yes, it's me.. I won!" She grinned.

"No! No, no, no. No way. Bye" she hung up.

"What is it now?"

"She said she won't do it" she grumbles.

"Do what?"

"Kiss Logan's brother" she says that I choke on air.

"Are you nuts?! She's 13" I yell when I regain my composure.

"So.. you had your first kiss at 10. Plus, I'm just playing matchmaker" she shrugged.

"Stop playing matchmaker and match yourself already" I groan. "You can't force her to kiss Landon."

"Yeah, that's the thing. I can" she winks.

"I'm really going to miss you bestie" I hug her.

"We'll see each other in college" she smiles. Mia, Charlie and I are all going to Washington State University.

"Yeah, sure" I shrug.

"Let's get together with the boys for one last time before I go" she suggests and grabs her phone to text them.

She glances at me. "What are you doing? Text your boyfriend. Oh and Emily" she says and I roll my eyes.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"Logan's place. Emily is going to kiss that boy if it's the last thing I do" she says and I sigh.

I text them and they reply saying they'll be there. "Let's go."

***

"Would you stop it already?" Emily rolls her eyes. "I'm not kissing him."

"Why, he's cute" Mia whines. "If he was my age, I'll totally do him."

Emily's eyes widens and she shakes her head furiously. "I did not need to know that."

Mia glances at me and mouths what?

I roll my eyes at her. She's so annoying and lovable at the same time. Like a cute baby who's biting your finger.

We were on our way to Logan's house now. Mia and I first went to pick up Emily. I talked to Sal and I forgave him.

We were almost at Logan's place and Mia was still trying to convince Emily to kiss Landon.

"Please. As my last gift" she pushed out her lower lip, giving her her best puppy dog look.

Emily stared at her, then huffed. "Fine. But not in front of all of you."

Mia squealed and clapped. "I know you'll enjoy it."

Emily turned her face towards the window, but not before I saw the small smile playing on her lips.

I guess she will.

Hey guys, this is my last chapter until December. It would have been longer but I need to go.

I'm sorry Jace's POV was so short. Maybe the next chapter will be in his POV.

Please read my other book, The Girl From The Stars. I promise you'll love it.

COTE! (Comment and vote).

Till December loves.
