I was proud of Jamie for sticking up for Billee. I would have done it myself, but I was still nervous in front of a lot of people. After dinner, a lot of people had come up and congratulated Legolas and Billee. I think the only one who was confused was Colan.

"What do they mean you're gay?" he asked, tugging on Billee's arm. "What's gay?"

"It's when two men are in love," Billee explained carefully. Colan's eyes lit up.

"Is Legolas going to live with us?" Colan asked excitedly. "For ever and ever?"

Billee smiled and lifted his younger brother in his arms. "Let's wait and see," he said with a laugh. "Perhaps. Would you like that?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Colan said loudly. "Legolas is nice"

We all laughed then. Things were getting back to normal and everyone was happy. Except Indigo of course. Especially since her plan had backfired.

Graduation was approaching fast now and I think that everyone was nervous about it. It's scary, knowing that you're leaving the place you have called home for so long. For me, the exams were the worst part. I had missed a lot while I was in hospital and while I was at school recovering. But Billee and Boromir helped me learn the stuff I had missed. Elrond gave me a hand with History too and as the exams drew near, I grew more confident.

I shouldn't have worried. They were easy. I think most of the students passed easily. I reckon even Randy could have passed if he was still there. But maybe that's being over optimistic. Anyway, they were no problem.

During the next few days, I noticed two things that puzzled me. The first was that Indigo seemed really upset. I went up to my dorm one afternoon with Laddie, to find Colan's bear, and I saw her lying on her bed, crying into her pillow. I wanted to say something, but I was afraid to. I wasn't up to a confrontation and I didn't know if she was still angry with Jamie and Billee. I knew that if she started insulting my friends, I'd hit her or something. So I picked up the bear from Jamie's bed and slipped away. But I thought about it a lot in the next few days. I felt sorry for her, you see. She didn't have any friends now; even Reesa was on Billee's side. Although she was a class A bitch, I knew what it was like to be completely alone.

The second thing I noticed was that Boromir, Billee and Legolas were talking rather intently and stopping when either Jamie or me came into the room. I figured that something was going on, I just wasn't sure what. I was soon to find out though.

One evening, just a few days away from graduation, we were all sitting in the dining hall, laughing and joking amongst ourselves like normal. However, Boromir seemed to be unusually quiet.

"What's up?" I asked. "Is something wrong?"

"No" he said quickly. A bit too quickly. "Of course not"

I noticed him exchange a quick glance with Billee. Billee nodded, smiled at me, then stood up.

"Can we have a moment of silence, please?" he asked loudly, his voice carrying across the hall. "I think someone has something to say" Everyone shut up immediately and looked over at our table. I looked at Jamie and she shrugged. Boromir took my hand and blushed.

"Emma" he said quietly, just loud enough for people to hear him. "Despite everything that's happened, I love you very much. And I was wondering, will you marry me?"

At first I couldn't speak. I glanced at Billee and he grinned at me. I suddenly knew what all that talking had been about. The whole hall was silent, everyone waiting for my answer.

"Yes" I said, beginning to cry as I hugged him tightly. "Yes, I will marry you" Everyone cheered and he lowered his head and kissed me in front of everyone.

A/N: I would write more, but I'm really tired. This is for all you people who thought that Boromir and Emma should be together.
