Emma's Point of View (POV)
I laughed as Stewart cracked a weak joke. He opened the picnic basket and I grabbed my sandwich out of it. I tried to take a bite but giggles erupted from me and I began choking on the bread. Stewart shook his head, and hit my back. After three, painful thumps, the bread came flying out. Stewart had this concerned look on his face, and I gave him a smile and grabbed my water. I gulped it heavily.
"I'm gonna miss you Emma." He said.
Emma looked at him. "I'll miss you more." She threatened.
Stewart chuckled, as did Emma. Stewart was leaving for college that fall, and they only had a week before he left. They ate in silence for twenty minutes until all the food was gone, then they both laid back on the picnic blanket. Emma smiled wistfully, and then laughed.
"What?" Stewart asked.
"I'm remembering the time you almost kissed me in THIS graveyard." Emma said. He voice was teasing and Stewart laughed along with her.
"I was a pretty bad wimp." He clarified and they both laughed.
Emma glanced at her watch. 3:45 PM it read. "We gotta go." Emma said flashing Stewart her watch. He nodded his head. They both jumped up and shoved plates and containers down the picnic basket. Emma grabbed it and swung it over her shoulder and they headed towards Stewart's truck. She hopped into the passengers side, and discarded the picnic basket in the back.
Stewart hopped in only moments later and was surprised too see Emma glancing nervously at her watch. Emma was almost never nervous. About anything.
"We have to pick Becca up before we go to the Book Club meeting." Emma explained. Stewart nodded.
As they drove up the road too the Chadwick's, Emma glanced at Stewart. He looked so comforting and chummy that Emma couldn't believe she was losing him.
"Oh Stewart!" Emma said wringing her hands. "Promise me you won't get into it with any girls at the college. Please!" Emma said desperately. She knew that as soon as they learned Stewart modeled for Flashlight teen magazine he would be the biggest hit in campus. No questions asked.
"Emma, we've been over this. I'm not going to dump you for a college girl. You're just what I want." Emma nodded and smiled. She loved Stewart so much.
