Disclaimer: I only own Gemma and my other OC's.

I thought I would let you all know who I pictured playing Gemma. It took me a while to figure out who had the looks that said Gemma to me and that would Camilla Belle. I absolutely love her. When I put her side by side with Alex Meraz (Paul), they made one very attractive couple. Thought you would like to have a visual on what Gemma would look like.

Chapter 14

Hawaii was proving to be something the four of us needed. We had no worries, nothing causing us stress; it even had Leah in a great mood which was a relief to all of us. We didn't talk or even think about Sam and Emily. This was an escape from all of that.

Since I was from here, I knew all the great spots and always had something for us to do. We would either go surfing, hiking the trails, helicopter tour, etc.

Tonight was our last night here and mine and Paul's anniversary so I had something special planned. He wanted to plan something for us but I wouldn't let him. We were on my turf so he had to be a man and suck it up while I took the rains.

"How about this one?" Leah asks holding up a blue dress.

We were having a girls day to help me get ready for my anniversary dinner with Paul. I had to make sure I was ready by four.

"No it's too dressy. I told you what I planned on doing. I don't need a dress that requires heels." I tell her looking through another rack.

"Are you excited for tonight?" Leah asks. I smile at her and nod, "I'm excited but nervous, I just hope he likes it."

"Trust me, he will or I will kick his ass into a volcano."

I started laughing but not only because of her words but because for a while, I have the old Leah back. I just hope that she doesn't completely break again once we get back. Yeah she's been great during the day while all of us are around her but at night she cries in her sleep.

I found out when I got up in the middle of the night on the second day here. I walked past her room and thought she was awake but she was out. I crawled in bed with her and wrapped my arms around her to comfort her. She woke up instantly but when she saw I was holding her she would cry on me until she fell back to sleep. It kills me to see her like this and makes me want to kill Sam even more for doing this to her.

"I found it!" Leah suddenly shouts making me and a few others in the store jump. "Jeez Le, could you be any louder?" She shrugs, "Maybe." I shake my head and go to where she is to see her holding up a beautiful bright purple, floral crop top and matching wrap that will go to my ankles.

"Since we're here in Hawaii and the destination you have planned, this is perfect for you."

I smiled brightly, she was right and it was perfect. "You are amazing Le, I love it!"

"I know," She says very cockily, "What would you do without me?"

"Be completely lost."

We both laugh as we head to the cashier.

...

I was getting ready in my parents...well Le's room so Paul couldn't see me until I was ready. After taking a hot shower, Leah did my hair while I did my eye makeup. She put it up in a cute updo with a few curls framing my face.

When I thought she was done, she turns me around and shows me one of my mom's white hibiscus flowers that she has growing in the backyard. "I thought this would complete your look," She tells me as she tucks it behind my ear. "And I was right." I look in the mirror and she was right. It went perfectly.

There was a knock on the door, "Ladies, it's four and Paul is getting antsy," Jared tells us through the door making us laugh. "I'm coming."

When I walk out into the living room, I see Paul in a pair of khaki shorts and a white button up. He looked hot, but then again he always does. Lucky me.

"Wow babe, you look...beautiful and hot all at the same time." I blush at his compliment. How is it that after being together for six years and knowing him my whole life, he can still make me blush?

"You don't look to bad yourself there Sparky." He gives me the amazing smile of his.

After standing there for a while I hear Leah sigh, "Ok as much as we love to see you two staring at each other in all your glory, you have a date. So go!" All of us started to laugh. "Ok, ok we're going," I say giving Leah a hug.

"The basket is in the back seat," She whispers in my ear. I pull away giving her a nod.

When we get into the car I direct Paul to where he needs to go since he has no idea where he's going.

We drove for about twenty minutes until I told him he needed to park on the side of the road. He looked around confused and I couldn't help but to smile. I guess this is how I looked when he took me out for Valentine's day. "Stop looking at me like that and grab the basket in the back," I order him with a smirk as I grab the blanket.

He followed behind me as I took the barely there trail until it disappeared and then I had to use the landmarks that I remembered.

"How much longer?" He starts to whine.

You would never think that someone as hot-headed as my boyfriend could be such be a whiner, but then again, I'm the only one to see this side of him.

"Just a couple more feet." I push away some plants and smile when I see the waterfall. Paul steps out from behind me and is in awe. "Wow, where did you find this?" He asked looking around.

"Only a few locals know about this place," I tell him as I spread the blanket out beside the water, "I use to come here all the time when I needed to get away. I would write songs, just listen to the water. But mostly think about you."

He smiled, "Only me?" I nod, "Yes only you."

He places the basket down and sits next to me as I open it up. "Now it's nothing fancy like you did for Valentine's day but hey it's food." I would've cooked a nice meal but I couldn't do that with him in the same house and not knowing what I was doing.

While we ate we talked about memories from when we were kids to today.

"I still can't believe it took them throwing us in your dad's shed to get you to tell me you like me," I laugh taking a grape. He shook his head, "Me? You didn't say anything either until that day," he says accusingly.

"I was young and at that age us girls are shy to tell a boy how we feel," I tell him sticking my tongue at him which he took as an open invitation for a kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck deepening the kiss.

When we pulled away to get some air, I looked at him and then at the waterfall. "Want to go for a swim?"

He gives me that cocky smirk of his, "Doesn't look like you brought a suit," He says looking in the basket, "Does this mean you'll be skinny dipping?"

I roll my eyes at him but start to pull my top up which makes his mouth drop. I smile to myself knowing that he thinks I'm really about to strip naked but little did he know that I had my suit on underneath. When he noticed that, disappointment went across his face.

Leaning down, I kiss his nose, "Don't look so disappointed my love. Now why don't you strip to your boxers and join me," I tell him as I start to go into the water. I dove underneath enjoying the cool water.

The water back home was always cold, even during the summer but you get use to it. But this felt great. When I finally came up for air I looked around but didn't see Paul anywhere.

"Paul?" But I got no response. Maybe he's going to pop up in the water, he's just trying to scare me. I go to call his name again but before I can get it out, a wave goes over me. When the water settles I see Paul poking his head out of the water. This jerk of mine jumped off of the falls.

I sling some water at him, "That wasn't very nice." I start to pout and he chuckles, "Now who is the one with the face?"

He swims over to me and kisses my nose which always makes me smile.

We swam around for a while splashing each other and goofing around. We eventually swim behind the fall and had each other wrapped in each other's arms. "So do you like your surprise?" I ask him and he smiles, "Yes, it was great. Thank you." I knew he did but I was nervous for some reason that he wouldn't.

"I love you so much Paul," I start to tell him, "These past six years mean more to me then you could ever imagine."

His arms tighten around me, "I love you so much more Gem. I've always loved you and I always will. I can never imagine my life with you in it loving me. You are everything to me."

I felt a tear escape at his words. I have always known how he felt for me, we tell each other everyday. I guess being here in a special place of mine, wrapped in each other's arms, telling each other how much we love one another; it just made my heart melt. I know we're only eighteen but Paul is the one. I never want anyone else but him.

Looking even more deeply into his eyes, "Promise me that you will never leave me Paul. I can't imagine what my life would be like if you ever left me," I say softly but he was still able to hear me even with the water crashing down by us. His face goes all serious, which never happens very often with me.

"Gem, I not only promise that I will never leave you but I promise to love you every single day for the rest of my life. You're my Gem."

Another tear rolls down as I bring my lips to his. This kiss felt so different from the thousands we have shared. Behind it was undeniable love that can never be broken. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost him.

He's my Paul.

Love it? Hate it? Please review and tell me what you think. Didn't really get many on the last one.
