Chapter 15

I stared at David and smiled when he got down on one knee.

It is ok if I ask her to marry me right? David asked.

"That's fine." I replied.

"What's fine?" Amanda asked.

"Oh just a little something." I said innocently

Amanda sighed in frustration.

I smiled and turned to Marcus and whispered David's plan.

Marcus smiled.

"What the heck is everyone smiling about?" Amanda asked exasperated.

"If you would look behind you, you will see." I said.

David stood up again so Amanda wouldn't miss him.

Amanda turned around and looked right at David.

"Hello love." Amanda said.

"Hi love." David replied.

Amanda smiled at him.

David then got on one knee and pulled out the most amazing ring.

"Amanda Cullen, will you marry me?" David asked.

Amanda looked stunned but quickly re-gathered herself to answer.

"Yes." She said.

David smiled and stood up to hug his fiancé.

Amanda tackled him to the ground.

She repeatedly kept kissing him over and over again.

"Go get a room." I laughed.

Amanda looked up and chucked a rock at me.

"Hey no throwing rocks at me." I said.

Amanda rolled her eyes.

"I can do that too." I replied.

That did it.

Amanda lunged at me and missed.

"Ha! You missed me." I called.

Amanda growled and lunged again.

She barely got my arm.

"You aren't going to catch me." I taunted.

We kept running around in a circle while the men laughed at us,

Mom walked through the cover of trees and made us stop.

"Lia I have some news that you won't like." Mom said sadly.

Amanda, David, Marcus and I all stared at her.

Marcus, for some reason, looked nervous.

"Would you like to tell her Marcus?" Mom asked.

"Tell me what?" I asked.

"I don't think I have the power to." Marcus said.

"What's going on?" I asked again.

"We found out something that Marcus shouldn't have been hiding." Dad said walking over to us.

"Marcus what are you hiding from me?" I asked directly to him.

"Uhhh… ummm…" Was all he could get out.

I looked at him and never looked away.

"David Amanda, you should leave." Dad advised.

They took off like bullets.

"Marcus tell her." Mom said.
