Emma
I've never seen my sister so riled up before in my like and frankly, it was heartbreaking. She cried for hours in the hospital waiting room before I could calm her down enough bring her back home. Now we all sat down around Jace's kitchen counter with cups of hot tea in our hands. She just sat down quietly, staring into space, cup of steaming tea in held between her palms.

"Emily" I whispered and saw her breaking down again. As if she was in a dream and I brought her back to reality.

I quickly rushed to her side and embraced her in a hug as she broke down in tears. I saw Jace inaudibly groan and I glare at him.

What the hell?! Isn't it normal to cry when you hear your brother is never going to walk again?

He raises his hands in surrender and I roll my eyes. "Emily, please just stop. Please, for me."

My sister nods and gradually, the tears stop. "You alright?" I ask and she nods again. I move back and smile reassuringly at her.

We sit in silence for a few minutes sipping our tea. She sniffles from time to time but that's it.

"I saw it coming" she sniffs. Her voice is cracked from too much crying.

"Hm?"

"I saw it coming. The accident, I mean" she croaks. "He was always out. Always drinking. Driving from party to party."

I don't say anything as I stare at my sister. "I never stayed at home and when I did, it was only me and the maid. It was too lonely."

I just can't wait for us to finally move so my sister wouldn't be lonely again. Wednesday can't come soon enough

"Can I stay at yours tonight?" She looks at me.

"Sure but we you have to go grab some of your stuff" I say and she nods. "Like now."

She smiles halfheartedly and hops off her seat. At least now she's responsive.

I hop off my seat and plant a kiss on my boyfriend's lips. He's been quiet throughout and I frown at him. "What's wrong?"

Because I'm standing I'm a bit taller than him and he looks up at me. "It's nothing.

"I can see straight through your lie" I roll my eyes.

"You know.. I never liked him. I remember once I was benched for two weeks because I fought with him and broke his nose" he smiles.

That smile that makes my stomach go wild and my heart flutter. "Yeah?"

"Yeah. So I'll see you soon?" He asks and I nod.

"Later" I kiss him again and head towards the door where my sister is waiting.

"You finally done? I thought you've already forgotten you even have a sister" she rolls her eyes.

"Good to know you're back" I chuckle and we leave the house and head towards the car.

"So have you picked a name?" She asks as we get into the car.

"A name for..."

"The baby you and Jace were making in there" she smirks and I choke on air.

"Emily!"

"Violet" she says quietly.

"Huh?"

"Violet will be a good name" she says quietly.

The drive to her house was short and quiet. When we got there, I parked in the driveway and we got out.

"Ready?" I turned to my sister who just stared at me.

"It's just a house" she deadpanned and I laughed.

We went in and went straight to Emily's room. I sat on her bed while she went to her closet to grab an overnight bag and started throwing in random stuff.

When she was done, she smiled at more. "Let's go."

"You done?" I ask her but before she could answer, she was cut off by a ping from her phone.

"Who's that?" I raise an eyebrow.

She glances at her phone and smiles. "It's my friend. She's having a sleepover and wants me to come."

"You would rather hang out with your friends wouldn't you?" I fake hurt.

She looks like a deer caught in headlights as she splutters. "It's not that I don't want to hang out with you it's just that--"

"Em! I get it. I was just teasing you" I laugh.

"So not cool" she throws her bag at me and I laugh as I dodge the bag.

"Would you like a ride?" I ask and she nods. "Then let's go."

***
After I drop off Emily, I head back home to rest. I step out of my clothes and step into the bath. I relax as soon as my skin comes in contact with the water.

"That's better" I sigh as my eyes close involuntarily.

After a few minutes I step out and wrap a towel around my body. I walk over to my closet and pull out a large white knit sweater and a pair of denim shorts.

I grab my phone and earphones and leave my room and head towards the kitchen. I grab a bag of chips from the pantry and a can of soda and head towards the living room to watch TV. My mom and grandma are out of town so I have the house to myself.

After scrolling aimlessly through the TV for a few minutes I decide to surprise Jace at his house.

I put on my fuzzy bunny slippers, really not caring about appearance at this point because it's past 6 o'clock now and decide to walk. I lock the door as I leave the house.

I get to Jace's house and walk towards the front door and knock. I hear footsteps coming towards the door and it is opened by an old woman in a maid's dress.

"Oh, hi Martha. Is Jace in?" I ask as I step in.

"Hello Emma. He's in the gym downstairs" she says before heading off.

I make my way towards the state-of-the-art gym downstairs. I already hear grunting before I even see him. My move towards the source of the sounds and see Jace hitting a punching bag and I think my heart just stopped.

His attention is focused on the punching bag in front of him and he's wearing a pair of sweatpants and a white muscle shirt which is soaked in sweat.

"You can stop staring now" he chuckles not removing his eyes from the punching bag and I jump.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I say, my hands on my heart.

"Sorry honey. You were drooling so I had to stop you" he says finally turning to face me. That's it guys, I'm done.

"Like what you see?" He smirks and I'm suddenly aware I've been ogling my boyfriend like a fool.

"I-- i-- it's just that-- um" I stutter trying to cover up my embarrassment but failing woefully.

He laughs and approaches me slowly. I gulp and take a step backwards. Wrong move.

I take another step backward and he takes a step towards me. Eventually, the inevitable happens. I hit a wall.

I drop my head, allowing my hair to curtain my face and clamp my eyes shut. I feel his presence in front of me and his finger raises up my head.

I open my eyes slowly to come face to face with Jace. "Hey."

"Um.." Before I can embarrass myself more he says something.

"I really want to kiss you now."

"Oh. Well.. I guess.. Um" I stuttered.

He laughs at this and my face turns bright red. "You're my girlfriend now. I'm allowed to kiss you. It's what couples do."

"Then kiss me."

He doesn't need another reminder before he smashes his lips on mine. His hands snake around my waist pulling me closer to him and my hands go around his neck.

He smiles into the kiss and pulls back. "We should go."

"Let's go to your room" I say.

"I like your thinking. To the bedroom it is" he says.

"Not like that you douche" I hit his chest.

"Ouch. You're feisty today" he smirks. "If you break me, my fangirls will probably kill you."

"Get over yourself, Mr Williams" I roll my eyes.

"I need to shower though. Let's go" he slips his fingers through mine and drags me upstairs.

When we get to his room he turns to face me. "Wanna join me?"

"I'd rather not" I try to sound nonchalant about it although my stomach is doing flip-flops just thinking about it.

"You sure?" He asks as he pulls off his shirt showing me his glorious chest.

I gulp and nod my head like a dummy. He laughs at this.

"Your loss" he says and walks into the bathroom and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

I look around the familiar room and my eyes stop at something. Jace's phone. It was charging beside his bed.

I head towards it and pick it up and sit on the bed. I stare at the phone for a few moments before rolling my eyes and turning it on and.. It's passworded. Of course.

I return it back and flip out my phone to text Emily.

Me* Hey Ems. You alright there?

There's a slim chance she'll see the text but luck is on my side, I think as I hear my phone ping.

Em* Yeah, it's fine. I'm having fun

Me* Okay. Do you need a ride back tomorrow?

Em* I don't know. I want to go to the hospital tomorrow

Me* Then I'll come pick you up tomorrow

Em* Thanks. You're the best

Me* I know. Now shoo. I don't wanna keep you from your friends

Em* Bye

I smile and put my phone back into my pocket as Jace walks out of the bathroom dressed in another pair of sweatpants and a plain white shirt.

"That was quick" I comment.

"Didn't wanna keep you waiting" he smiles.

"Seriously, do you wear anything apart from sweatpants?" I ask.

"I know you wanna see me naked naked naked" he sings and my shake my head. Unfortunately he's right.

He grabs the remote off the desk and turns to face me, a serious look on his face.

"What?" I raise an eyebrow.

"I'll move away from the bed if I were you" he says.

"What?!" I yell and jump up thinking there was a snake or lion on the bed but to my confusion, it's empty.

"What the hell?! Are you trying to give me a heart attack over nothing?" I fume.

He ignores me and narrows his eyes at the bed.

"Attack!" He yells and jumps on the bed, face flat and spread out like a starfish.

"You're really weird" I sigh and roll my eyes.

"I know." he says in a muffled voice before turning over. "But you love it. C'mere."

I pull off my slippers and climb into the bed, making myself comfortable on his chest.

"Now, what do you suggest we watch" he mumbles as he scrolls through Netflix.

I point to the screen. "That Awkward Moment."

"That's because it's Zac Efron" he deadpanned.

"Of course not" I lie. "It's totally not about the really, really hot actor. At all."

"No way."

"Come on. Please" I beg but he doesn't budge. "Pretty please with a black cherry on top for your black heart?"

"Noooo" he repeats. "And I'm way hotter than him."

"Oh" I laugh. "Look babe, you're hot but you can't compare yourself Zac Efron."

"Fine" he huffs. "We can watch the movie."

"Yay thank you" I clap happily.

"Let's go get some snacks" he stands up and pulls me up.

We walk to the kitchen and I sit on the counter while he pops a bowl of popcorn into the microwave.

He turns to me while the popcorn is in the microwave and stands between my legs. His hands go round my waist while mine snake round his neck.

"You look pretty" he says.

"Thanks" I blush. "Any reason you just said this?"

"No" he grins. "Nice slippers by the way" he glances at my slippers.

I gasp and kick him. "You do not make fun of my slippers."

"You're so cute" he chuckles and I'm pretty sure my face is red.

"Oh, thanks." I drop my head so my hair covers my face.

I'm saved by the beep of the microwave as Jace turns towards the microwave. He plants a kiss on my lips and moves towards the microwave.

I try to steady my heartbeat but he guess my heart has other plans. I feel as if my heart will fly out of my chest anytime now.

"Ah, fuck it" I sigh and jump off the counter.

Jace turns to me with a bowl of popcorn in his hand. "Hey, are you--"

I cut him off by jumping on him and wrapping my legs around his waist and kissing the living daylights out of him.

And also knocking the bowl of popcorn to the floor.

Aloha, my lovelies. How are you this fine day? Yeah, I know I'm a bit weird. I don't know about how I ended this chapter because it was kind of a spur of the moment thing.

So.. Huh.. 'Whaddya think? I don't really know what to do next so the next chapter might be late but-- Ooh. I got it!

Here's a few pics of Zac Efron to lift your mood >>>>>

Lemme quickly publish this before I can overthink anything.

Bye guys.
