My mouth dropped as I stared at the half naked man in my bed.

"Wha…how…did you…" I stuttered before yelling, "Get out!" I didn't care if I woke anyone up. I just wanted this man out of here, now.

"Oh come now, is that any way to talk to your future husband?" he teased, running a hand through his dark hair. It was the first time I had seen him without his hat and goggles.

I shut the door behind me and moved further into the room. "First, you are not my husband. And second, what are you doing in my bed?!"

"Your bed? I think you mean 'our bed'." He purred, laying back against the pillows.

My eyebrows knit together in confusion. "Our bed? You have your own bed across the hall."

"Oh yes, that. Well, apparently, a pipe burst in my room. Sewage went everywhere." He explained, looking up at the canopy above my bed.

I raised an eyebrow. "A pipe burst? If it did, then why didn't I smell anything?"

He shrugged his bare shoulders. "Not sure, but I'm impressed by whoever did it."

"Okay, that's nice. Now get out." I told him, crossing my arms across my chest.

He gasped mockingly, pressing a hand to his chest. "You would throw your loving fiance out?" he said before giving me a wicked smirk. "Completely naked."

My stomach dropped. 'You've got to be kidding me!'

"Fine, get some clothes and get out! Take the sheets if you have to!"

I didn't care if I didn't have any sheets to sleep on. There was no way I was going to sleep on those sheets after they touched his body.

Reaver sighed heavily as he turned over, making me cover my eyes for the moment, trying to avoid seeing anything that I would regret seeing.

After a few seconds passed, Reaver spoke up. "You can open your eyes. I've got clothes on."

"How do I know that you're not lying to me?"

There was a pause.

"Well I could come over and let you touch me to see."

"No! No…I…I'll look."

Very slowly, I lowered my hand and cracked an eye open to see him sitting up in the bed with a pair of dark boxers on. "Am I really that hideous?"

To be honest, not at all. Reaver's body was well toned and definitely kept in shape and his face was almost perfectly sculpted like a statue. No, Reaver wasn't hideous. However, that attitude and behavior out weighted his looks.

"Yeah, you've got a face that's uglier than a hobbe's" I shot back at him.

He gave me a pouted lip. "Oh you don't mean that."

"I do. Now, as I said before, get out." I snapped, pointing to the door. "I'm already infuriated with you already for what you did at dinner."

"Ohhh…so that's why you're acting so sour towards me. You're just mad because I kissed your cheek, which was very soft by the way." He purred with a wink.

I shuddered at the memory. "There's that and you've pretty much destroyed my friendship with Ben."

"I destroyed it?" he asked innocently, touching his bare chest. "Whatever do you mean by that?"

"Oh don't give me that fake innocence, Reaver. You know exactly what you did." I told him, sitting down in a chair to take off my hiking boots. It didn't sound like he was going to be leaving anytime soon, so I might as well take off my boots. I've been wearing them the whole day and they probably smell terrible from the sewage water and mud.

He just scoffed. "All I did was tell him of our engagement. It's not like I told him that you decided to switch sides and fight against the army or something like that."

"That's almost as bad!" I exclaimed, pulling at the laces on my boots. "Ben absolutely hates you!"

That made Reaver chuckle. "Oh, he needs to just get in line. I already have hundreds of people that are my enemies. He's just another angry citizen with a vendetta against me." He sat down on the edge of the bed with his hands clasped between his spread legs. "And he's not that far away from you. I know you're right there in line with him."

I glared at him. "Ben is one of my best mates and you just told him that I'm engaged to you. Don't you understand how horrible that kind of news is to him?"

"I don't really care to understand how other's feel. I lost that caring a very…very long time ago." He told me. "And how is it horrible? You're engaged to the most prominent men in all of Albion. I'm a wealthy entrepreneur, handy with a gun, and of course a perfect lover in the bedroom. What's wrong with that?"

I was able to get one boot off and threw it off to the side, not really caring where it landed. "Well for starters, I'm not actually engaged to you. This is all just an act that you concocted because you're just a complete and total numb-skull." I growled before working on the other boot. "Also, I don't really care if you're rich and an entrepreneur. I could care less about how much money a man has."

"Lies." He responded with a roll of the eyes. "Money is everything these days."

"And as I stated before, I can handle myself. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of my well being."

"Another lie." He shot back. "I saved you back in Mistpeak from those Balvarines. If I hadn't been there, you would have either been dead or turned into one of them. And trust me, they make…very hairy and rough lovers."

"And there's my third point. I don't care about if they're a good lover or not. That's the last thing that's on my mind when I'm thinking about a man. I care more about how he acts and how he treats others and myself verses how he is in the bedroom."

Little did I know that Reaver had gotten up from the bed and made his way towards me. "Well…that's probably because you've never experienced anything like it." He purred as he knelt down on his knees in front of me. His fingers pushed mine out of the way so he could work on the laces of my boots, pulling on them slowly. "I'd be really good to you. You wouldn't have to ever worry about anything when you're with me. After all, you never really got to see what I could do after I invited you into my private quarters that night you broke in." When the laces were done, he slowly began pulling the boot off of my foot, sliding a hand up my calf. "I think you would enjoy a man's touch. Especially one with as much experience as me. All you have to say is please." He whispered, staring into my eyes.

Before his hands could go any higher, I pressed my foot to his chest, pushing him onto his back. "Again, I have no interest in doing anything with you. Especially in that nature."

Reaver lay on the floor, propped up by his elbows. "Oh I think you'll come around to it eventually." He said before lowering his voice. "They always do."

I rolled my eyes and gagged in disgust as I got up from my chair and made my way over to the door. "Look, it's been a pleasure having you tonight, but I really need to get some sleep and try to forget about what was just discussed." I told him, grabbing the handle. "So please, just leave."

Reaver got to his feet and crossed his arms across that bare alabaster chest. "As I've said before, I'm not going anywhere. As long as my room is covered in that sewage, I'm staying right here."

"Then go and find a different room to sleep in. Or even better yet, go sleep out on the grass." I sneered.

Before Reaver could say another word, I could hear a knock on the door.

"Oh now look what you did, you woke up the whole castle with your incessant yelling." Reaver complained.

I shushed him before going to open the door, but the sound of someone's door opening stopped me.

"Yes?" It sounded like Ben's voice.

"Excuse me, Major Finn, but your Majesty has requested your presence in the kitchen." A meek girl's voice said.

"She did? At this time of night?"

"She said it was urgent."

"Well…alright. Tell her I'll be down there soon."

"Yes Sir."

I could hear the door shut and someone's footsteps echoing through the door and then soon faded away.

My heart nearly leaped in my chest. Emma wanted to see Ben? In the kitchen? At night? Alone?

Excitedly, I began to grab my boots to go.

"Excuse me? What do you think you're doing?" he asked her. "You were just beginning to get undressed."

I shot a glare at him before deciding to toss my boots off to the side. I'll just go without them. "I've gotta get down there!" I exclaimed as I grabbed the door handle.

"Why?"

I gave him the 'are you kidding' look. "To see what happens! Or at least hear what happens." I informed him. "There's a little cabinet to hide in down in the kitchen so I'm going to go hide and listen in on them."

"Ahhh…so you're eavesdropping on their private moment. How rude of you." He said, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Oh shut it. I need to know what their current relationship is like. Especially since I've been gone for the past three months. We need to know where they're at to see what we can do to bring them closer. So if you don't mind, I have to get down there before they do."

Reaver sighed dramatically. "Fine fine. Go ahead and listen away to your friend. I'll just stay here and keep the bed warm."

"And as for that, I expect to see you gone when I get back." I threatened him. "So just pack up and get out."

"Oh Lizzie, you always manage to hurt me."

I rolled my eyes at him before leaving the room and carefully sprinted down the hall. Since it was nighttime, there weren't that many servants walking through the castle, making it easier for me to sneak around without looking like a loon. I didn't really want anyone to know what I was up to. This was my business and my business only. Well…except for the part where Reaver was in on it.

Once I made it to the kitchen, I peeked around the corner to find the massive kitchen empty. Coast was clear.

Carefully, I rushed over to the cabinet and opened the door. There were a few packages of food stocked in there. With a little bit of moving around, I could probably fit in there. Quickly, I began moving food around so there was a spot for me to climb in. Just when I was moving a bag of flour, a hand grabbed my shoulder, making me drop the flour and whirl around to hit my attacker. But their hand grabbed mine before it could connect with their face.

"Now really, you're going to attack someone for trying to get your attention." The assailant taunted me with those deep dark eyes. Those eyes that I despised.

"Can't be too careful. Especially in this world." I snapped at him before yanking my hand back.

"We are in a kitchen in the royal castle." Reaver explained. "I don't think you're going to have much trouble there."

He was wearing a button up shirt and his trousers that he normally wore with his suit. At least he wasn't in just his boxers.

"Trust me, with all of the Mercenaries and monsters out there, they would probably find a way in." I told him. "And back to what is happening at this moment, what are you doing down here?"

He shrugged. "I got a little lonely up there."

I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, you just wanted to come and see what was going on." I responded as I picked up the flour and set it off to the side.

"Of course not. I wanted to see my favorite sharpshooter."

"You saw me a few moments ago." I shot back, pulling a few more items out of the cabinet.

"You aren't really going to hide in that…compacted cabinet…are you?"

"I used to do it all the time when I was little." I informed him.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "My my, weren't you the little eavesdropper."

"I didn't eavesdrop all the time. Sometimes I wanted some sweets and I hid in there so nobody would find me."

"Ah, so you were a rebel even when you were a child. How interesting."

I dropped another bag of flour and turned to face him. "You know what Reaver, I think you should just go and-" I was cut off by the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, signaling that someone was on their way downstairs. My heart began to race as I frantically tried to figure out what to do. "Hide!" I whispered to Reaver before climbing into the cabinet.

Just when I was getting adjusted in the tight space, Reaver began to climb inside. "No! Don't you dare!" I snapped.

"Oh hush up, I don't know where to hide." He snarled as he tried to pull the doors shut.

"Go outside." I grunted as his elbow hit me in the gut. "Or better yet, try the oven."

He didn't listen as the doors shut, leaving us in the dark. I could barely breath from way we were positioned. Pretty sure his knee was in my side and his elbow was still in-bedded in my stomach.

"Reaver…" I winced. "Get off of me…"

"Why? Don't want to be close to me?" he purred, his hot breath hitting my face. His face was so close to mine that I could see his dark eyes from the crack of light that shone through the cabinet doors.

"Exactly." I growled. "And you're crushing me."

He adjusted a little bit to get his elbow out of my stomach. "There. Better?"

"Oh I'll be better when you're away from me." I shot back, glaring at him.

Before he could say another word to me, I heard someone outside of the cabinet clear their throat. It was deep and slightly rough like a man's. Ben.

I held a finger to my lips to silently tell Reaver to shut up. He made a face in response.

Then I heard another voice, a more feminine voice. "I'm glad you came."

"Emma." Ben breathed.

My heart jumped in my chest. This was it!

"Well this is a bit surprising." He said to her. "Meeting in the kitchen in the middle of the night. You aren't trying to get me out of bed for a private war meeting and a midnight snack, are you?"

She giggled softly. "No, not this time. I um…I wanted to talk about earlier."

"About the mission? Of course I'll come. I'm always ready to take out some nasty Hobbes." He said with all the determination in his voice. Typical Ben.

"No, I wanted to talk about…Eliza."

There was a pause.

"Oh…and what about her?" I could hear the creaking of one of the stools as he sat down probably.

"You shouldn't have gotten so angry at her."

He gave a dry laugh. "Oh I shouldn't be angry with her? Emma, she's engaged to Reaver! Reaver! The man who helped Logan tax all of those innocent villagers and killed some of those who rebelled against the King."

"Well some of them deserved it." Reaver whispered, earning a punch to the gut from yours truly.

"Ow!" he winced quietly. "That hurt."

His legs were straddling one of my knees. I could knee him where it hurt the most.

I shushed him before listening to my friends' conversation.

"I know." Emma responded.

"And you're okay with this? Emma, do you hear yourself?" Ben exclaimed.

"Of course I do. But if it's Eliza's decision to be in love with him, then what are we supposed to do? Break up their love?"

"Well I thought we could kill him or lead him out into Silverpines to be eaten by balverines." Ben chuckled.

Reaver's mouth gaped. "Excuse me? But I think I should go out in a better way than that." He whispered.

"I think a swift bullet to the head would be better. Then we feed you to the balvarines." I retorted with a smirk.

Reaver glared down at me.

"That's not funny Ben." Emma scolded him.

"Of course it is. Getting to watch that sod getting eaten by the things that he had affairs with would be the perfect way to get rid of him." Then he paused. "Then again, if he gets bitten and left alive to transform, then he'll come back here and try to eat us."

"Shut up Ben." Emma told him, making me giggle softly. "You can't take this out on Eliza. She's your friend and she's been there for us this whole time."

He laughed dryly. "Some friend she's turned out to be. Bet she's sleeping with the enemy right now."

Reaver chuckled softly and I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. Me? In bed? With Reaver? No way!

"We could be doing that right now, Lizzie. Imagine us entangled in the sheets together…doing things that you only dreamed of-" he stopped when he felt my knee between his legs.

"One more word and my knee comes up." I warned him. "And I'm not bluffing."

Reaver sighed and rolled his eyes. "Fine fine, but still, I bet it would be an entertaining night."

Rolling my eyes, I went back to listening to Ben and Emma.

"That's not funny Ben. I mean it." She told him again. "I don't know why she's in love with him, but we can't stop it. She's our friend no matter what and we should support her decision to be with Reaver."

"But Emma, he's a murderer! What if he does something to Liz? It'll be our fault if we let that narcissistic sadist hurt her!" he exclaimed.

Emma sighed. "I know…but I…I don't think he'll hurt her. Eliza is smarter than that." She told him, making me smile. "If he does anything along those lines, hopefully she'll realize that he's a horrible man and she'll leave him or better than that, she'll kill him."

"Boy, isn't that the truth." I mumbled under my breath.

"What?" Reaver rasped.

"Nothing."

Reaver stared at me for a moment before turning his attention to their conversation.

"Eliza is a smart girl. She knows what she's doing…I think." Emma told Ben. "But that doesn't mean that we should push her away and blame her. Something happened and she's in love with Reaver."

"But-"

"You really hurt her tonight, Ben. She was really hurt by what you said and she only wants to make amends with you. Please…talk to her. Apologize if you can."

There was another silent pause.

"Fine…" he grumbled. "I won't like it, but I'll support her. I'll talk to her tomorrow."

"Thank you." She sighed in relief.

There was yet another pause.

"Okay, now that's all and done with. I shall see you in the morning." She told him.

"Emma…wait."

I adjusted myself so I could see outside through the crack in the door. Emma stood there in her frilly white pj's and a night bonnet while Ben stood in his army pants and his puffy shirt. His hand enclosed around her wrist, keeping her near him.

She gazed at Ben, the way that a woman does when she's seeing the love of her life. The look that I've seen her give him from the moment they met.

My heart began to race with anticipation. What was he wanting?

"What is it…Ben?" Her voice was trembling a little, but she tried to sound strong.

He hesitated for a moment, not letting go of her wrist. "Are…are you okay?"

"Of course I am." She responded.

His eyes looked down at his bare feet. "I know you're not."

She looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"

He met her eyes again. "Are you still having nightmares?"

Emma tensed up. "I…"

"You don't have to talk about them if you don't want to." He assured her, moving his thumb back and forth across her wrist.

She was quiet for a few moments, biting down on her lower lip. "Yes…yes I still have them." She whispered. "Every night…the same thing…over and over."

"The Darkness?" he inquired.

She nodded in response, closing her eyes. "It's hard to go to sleep at night."

Ben's shoulder fell and stayed still for a moment. Then he pulled her into his arms, hugging her close.

Her arms slid around his body to hold him against her. "The whole town dying. Walter suffering in the desserts of Aurora. My friends dying…Jasper…Page…Bandit…Eliza…" her voice got shaky towards the end. "You…"

He shushed her softly as he rubbed her back. "Don't worry. I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere."

I could see Emma tremble and shake as they stood there together.

Poor Emma. Ever since her encounter with the Darkness and the Crawler, she's been so afraid. The Crawler had nearly blinded Walter and killed them both. If it weren't for Emma's Hero strength, they would have surely died in there. She was brave. Very brave. But…now that she was the Queen, she was ensured with everyone's safety. One wrong move and she could doom them all. No wonder she was having all of those nightmares. I wasn't there, but the way that she described it to me, it sounded absolutely horrifying.

They stood there for a bit before Emma pulled away, wiping her tears away. "I'm sorry. Here I am, crying like a baby and ruining your shirt."

He just chuckled. "At least it's tears and not blood. And I don't mind at all." He told her as he wiped a tear off her cheek. "Besides, I hate to see you suffer like this."

"I'm sorry…"

"And stop apologizing. That's what I'm here for. To help you through the tough times."

She sighed and gave him a smile. "Why are you always so good to me, Ben?"

He shrugged. "Because I really care about you, Em. You're one of my closest friends and I hate to see you go through this." He whispered, tucking a stray hair that stuck out of her night bonnet. "If you ever need someone to talk to, you've always got me. I can even chase those bad dreams away if I can."

She nodded, her cheeks flushing red. "Yeah. Bet you'd go after them with that rifle of yours."

"Oy, her name is Vanessa, remember?"

She giggled. "Oh yeah, I think my nightmares will be frightened by a rifle that was named after your first love."

"Well she packs a punch. Shooting three Hollowmen in the head!"

Emma shook her head. "Yeah, I'm sure that really happened, Ben."

"Whatever." He sighed dramatically before he smiled. "There's that smile."

She blushed again before looking down.

"Maybe that ought to scare off the bad dreams."

"Maybe." She responded softly.

They stared at each other for a moment before Ben spoke up. "Well I think we've been down here long enough. May I escort you to your room, Your Majesty?" he asked, offering his arm.

She smiled before taking his arm. "Of course, Major Finn."

"Still trying to get used to that." He said before leading her up.

"Oh you love it." She giggled again.

Their laughs faded out as well as their footsteps.

Once it was quiet, I sighed to myself. I could definitely see the love and admiration in both of their eyes. Ben had some sort of feeling towards Emma. He said that he really cared about her. That was a sign! I had to find out more on tomorrow's journey.

"Well that was uneventful." Reaver grumbled.

Oh right. He was here still.

"What are you talking about? There was lot that just went on."

He raised a dark brown eyebrow. "You call that a lot? I call that just a bunch of nonsense and crying."

"It's called sympathy. Something that you're not aware of." I snapped back.

"Oh I'm fully aware of it, I just don't have any." He responded, smoothing his hair back.

My lips pressed together in a thin line before pushing against him. "Do you mind getting off me? They're gone now."

He smirked and leaned in closer. "Actually, I thought we could stay in here for awhile longer. It's much more intimate in here."

In response, I gently kneed him between the legs, making him yelp in pain. "Out!"

Reaver glared at me, holding his lower stomach before pushing the door open. Once he was out, he stumbled off to the side to hold onto the prep table while I got out, stretching out my sore muscles.

"That hurt!"

"Exactly. I warned you." I responded with a satisfied smirk, brushing off my shirt of any dust or powder that clung to the fabric.

"Never thought you'd actually do it." He grunted as he leaned against the table.

"Oh I don't bluff, Reaver." I bragged as I stretched my legs. "If I did, then I wouldn't get the satisfaction of hitting you."

He shot a glare at me before I turned around and strut up the stairs, leaving the kitchen.

That felt good. Never got to do that before. Never really had the chance to do something like that to him, but it was thrilling. Wish I would have hit harder. Might have shut him up for awhile.

As I made my way back to my room, I couldn't hear Reaver's footsteps. Ha! Maybe kneeing him scared him off. Looks like he wasn't going to spend the night with me after all.

Once I made it inside, I went over to my pack and pulled out a night shirt and pants. My eyes trained to the bed, smiling as I stared at the fluffy pillows and blankets. My body shook with anticipation and started to wear down. I was ready for one long night of blissful sleep. I quickly tugged my shirt over my head, wanting to almost jump into the bed immediately.

But the door opening behind me made me gasp in surprise and held the shirt against my chest as I whirled around to see Reaver standing there with lust in his eyes. "Well this certainly makes up for the kick you gave me."

Thank goodness I hadn't taken the binding on my chest off. Then I would have had a real problem. Still, I didn't want him to see me like this!

"Get out!" I squeaked.

He just crossed his arms and leaned against the closed door. "Haven't you forgotten about our predicament? I don't have anywhere to sleep tonight."

"And I said, you should go somewhere else!" I snapped, holding my shirt against me in an iron grip.

"Oh no, you're not getting rid of me that easily. No matter how many times you hit me, I'm still coming back."

By the tone of his voice, it sounded like he wasn't going to leave at all.

Growling deeply under my breath, I let out of huff of frustration. "Fine! But if you're staying here, there are rules."

"Ah, of course. The rules. Very well, go ahead and inform me of the rules."

"First of all, look away. When I say that I mean turn around and no peeking." I commanded.

"And why should I do that? I mean you saw me naked, remember?" he purred, his eyes trailing up and down my body.

I held the shirt against me. "Not completely and I refused to see any more of it. So at least be decent for a moment and let me change!"

He sighed heavily before turning around. "Fine fine. Go ahead and let me be blind to your naked beauty."

Rolling my eyes, I made quick haste to pull my nightshirt over my head before shimmying out of my pants and then grabbing my night ones. Once I was dressed, I cleared my throat. "Okay, you can turn around now."

Reaver turned around and pouted. "Oh come now dear, it's not that bad."

Ignoring his comment, I went over to the bed and grabbed a few pillows from the massive amount that was left there. I highly doubted I was going to sleep on all of them. But they did come in handy for something. I lined them up down the middle, creating a small wall that split up both sides of the bed.

"There! This is my side!" I announced, pointing to the right side of the bed. "Then the left side is yours!"

He walked over to the bed, staring at the new spot that I had given him. "It's a bit…cramped." He complained. "Can't I have more space?"

"You're even lucky that I'm letting you share my bed. Deal with it." I told him before pulling back the covers to climb under them and faced the other way.

I could hear the rustling of his clothes. Must be taking them off so he can sleep in his boxers. Then he huffed before climbing under the sheets as well.

"Please tell me you're wearing something."

"Of course I am." he responded. "But I could always change that."

"Don't you dare." I threatened him before I leaned over and blew out the candles next to my bed. Reaver did the same to his side.

We were left in the dark now, except for the beautiful moonlight that shone through the stained glass windows.

"Well this has been an eventful day." I mumbled.

"Indeed it has." Reaver agreed. "It should be an eventful one tomorrow as well. Lots of fighting and killing."

"Yay killing…" I responded sarcastically. "Just what I love."

Reaver chuckled in the dark. "Well it's just monsters."

I frowned as he lay my cheek against the pillow. "No one really deserves to die."

"Not even me?"

I hesitated for a moment.

"I guess…it depends…"

"Depends? On what? You just said no one deserves to die."

"Sometimes…I don't even think that you're a person." I responded, shutting my eyes.

Reaver went silent for a few moments. "Then what am I then?"

My shoulders shrugged. "I don't really know."

"Am I a man? Or am I…something else."

'A monster.' I told myself, but I didn't really want to say anything. The last thing I wanted was a fight. I was too tired to argue anymore.

"It doesn't matter." I mumbled softly. "Just get some sleep."

It was silent in the room for a few moments before Reaver spoke up. "You didn't really say any other rules."

I cracked an eye open. "Don't touch me."

"That's it?" he questioned. "What if I want to cuddle a little bit?"

"Forget it Reaver." I responded quickly, shutting my eyes.

"Aww…but I always have someone to cuddle with." He pouted. "Keeps the bed nice and warm. Not to mention a quick midnight romp."

That thought made me sick. "Then cuddle yourself. Just leave me alone."

"Fine fine…" he sighed. "Well then…goodnight Lizzie."

"Yeah…night Reaver…" I grumbled as I cuddled into the warm bed sheets.

Things were silent again before I could hear a soft snore next to me. So he actually fell asleep. Good.

I pulled the pillow closer to me and the sheets up to my chin. It was so warm in this bed. I really hoped for a good night's sleep. Hopefully I would get to stay in this bed for a little while longer before going back to Brightwall. It might be awhile since Reaver and I had some time to get Emma and Ben together. From the looks of things tonight, it seemed that there was a relationship there. However, I didn't really know if Ben had any feelings for Emma. I guess time would tell.

But for now, all I could focus on was a good night's sleep. Before I knew it, I slowly fell asleep, hoping that things would go well tomorrow.


Wow! Lots of crazy stuff! lol this was a lot of fun to write because of the arguments and hilarious moments between Eliza and Reaver. Also the cute moment between Ben and Emma almost made me cry when I was writing it. I thought it sounded really sweet! I hope that everyone enjoyed this new chapter!

Please review this! Or message me if you have any comments, suggestions, or you just wanna talk. I'll try to get the next chapter done since it's coming up on summer! Graduation is less than a few weeks away! And my con is about a month away too! I'm sorry, I'm just sooo excited about this all! XD Thanks everyone!
