"The first time we kissed was a few weeks later in a bowling alley. Not the most romantic of places but it couldn't have been more perfect. Her nephew was having a difficult time adapting,with his mother leaving him. So,I suggested we all go out,she suggested bowling. Her nephew ended up ditching us to go to a gig with his mates,leaving us two to carry on. I had forgot until that day how competitive she was at everything,it's the taking part that counts my a...backside. I thought she cheated and naturally she denied it,so I apparently called her a liar. We were arguing about it until I turned around and then we noticed how close we were to each other,her on the step bit because she's short... Our faces were so close,so I took the opportunity and kissed her. It was merely a whisper of a kiss before I checked to see it was ok and we kissed again. It was...wow,there's no other words to describe it,"

Eddie went into a dreamworld,smiling stupidly to himself as the memory replayed in his mind,Rachel doing exactly the same this. Eddie was far a way forgetting that he was speaking in front of the school,

"the first time y'know...was after our first date. We only went on that because her nephew was having a house party in her house. I remember the only argument that we properly had and it was petty. It was about going public with her,she didn't want to because it would look unprofessional and know I know she wouldn't have cared less." Eddie's expression suddenly saddened as he said the next part,"it was all going great, until the last day of term. Her sister came back pregnant,claiming it was mine. We broke up after she stood in front of the digger,she said she couldn't be an aunt a step mum and with me." Tears streaming down both of their faces like rain.

"We were supposed to go on holiday later that evening . Me,her and Michael were supposed to go to Dinseyworld,"

Eddie pulled out a red velvet box with a glistening diamond ring in it,he was now fiddling it in between his thumb and forefinger.

"I was going to propose the next day. We would have been in the park in front of Cinderella's castle. I had organised it all,we would have been watching the show and firework display. I would've secretly slipped away when Michael and her would have been dragged up onto the stage to dance with the characters. Nearing the end it would have gone quiet,whilst I walked out wearing a shirt and tie and I never were a tie. Fireworks would have gone off behind me saying 'will you marry me?' I would have gotten down on one knee and I bet you by now she would have been blushing. Hopefully she would have said yes. I planned it in Disney because she loves it and Michael does,both would act as if they would were five if you mentioned Mickey Mouse or any other character. Today would have been our seven year anniversary of being together."

Eddie took in another deep breath after revealing all of that and then he broke down into sobs,

"I love her so much, I really hope she forgives me,please forgive me,please." He pleaded as everyone except for those who know looked confused as he spoke as if that person was there.. Eddie turned his face to see Rachel,looking at her with saddened eyes with her own."Please forgive me? Please," he whispered desperately.

Rachel suddenly stood up and walked towards a sobbing Eddie and stood directly in front of him on the stage,lifting his chin up gently so he was looking directly into her glistening,teary caramel orbs.

"Edward Daniel Lawson! Don't you dare think for one second that I never forgave you!" Rachel shouted,"I just never got over you. I love you..." Her voice returning to a normal tone although the whole hall could hear. Smiles appeared on their faces as did on Michael's, Tom's, Steph's and Matt's,even Grantely. Eddie lifted her up so her legs entwined around his waist,their foreheads still pressing against each other's. Eddie begun to spin her around as she squealed and they both giggled loudly,before her begun to passionately kiss her,Rachel still in his arms in front of a wolf whistling and confused crowd. To explain it,Michael and Steph had placed a photo of Rachel and Eddie as the head and deputy of the school,with the whole school behind them pulling silly faces at each other,on the projector. Eddie kept hold of Rachel,not letting her feet touch the ground,"I love you Rachel Mason!" He shouted making them giggle,"I love you too Eddie Lawson. At least that never changed." Eddie kissed her again,both smiling into their ever deepening kiss.

THE END
