Young Love
Chapter 11
New Years Eve
"Will you can stay in the bed there is no reason for you to get out of bed" Emma explained to Will
"Honey I need to get out of this bed, it's New Years Eve, we should celebrate"
"We can celebrate here in your room" Emma said as she helped Will out of his bed and made there way down the stairs "Just take your time there is no need to rush"
They made it to the bottom of the stairs and Will sat and rested on the couch in the living room "I can't believe how tired I got just from that short walk" Will laughed
"That's what happens when you haven't walked in weeks and your body is healing from a very serious accident which is why we should stay home and just celebrate here"
"Maybe your right"
"When am I ever not right" Emma laughed "Now is there anything you need?"
Will smiled up at Emma "You" Will said patting the seat next to him on the couch.
"I guess I can do that" Emma smiled as she sat down next to Will as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"This is all I need for a great New Years Eve, just me and my beautiful girlfriend" Will smiled as he kissed her cheek.
"This is all I need also just being here with you is more then enough for me"
Will and Emma snuggled on the couch watching the news cast of the party in downtown New York City. "Only thirty more minutes in the year, what do you look forward to in the new year?" Emma smiled
"Well my main thing is to enjoy the year with you and see where our relationship goes" Will smiled as he kissed Emma "What about you?"
"Well I'm hoping for a better year then this year. Even though the second half of the year was better then the first half. The last few years have been sad years for my family with my father having cancer, so I'm just looking forward to happier times with you and my family"
"I'm hoping you have a better year also. I know I will try my hardest to make this year better then ever"
"Thank you Will"
"No need to thank me, all I want to do is to make you happy"
"You make me happy everyday, I don't know how much better life could get for us"
"Things can only get better from here, Emma. We have so much more in our relationship to look forward to, marriage, starting a family and spending the rest of our lives together till were old and gray" Will smiled.
"Marriage?" Emma asked stunned that Will just brought up the subject of marriage.
Will feared that he said too much too soon "Well yeah, I mean I'm not saying lets get married tomorrow but it is something I have thought about for our future. Haven't you thought of that?" Will asked concerned.
"Well yeah but its just weird hearing you say it out loud. It's something that I have been saying in my head. I mean I'm only 15 and your 16 years old, we shouldn't be planning on even thinking of marriage till we are done with college."
"So you wouldn't even want to have a long engagement if I asked you…like soon?"
Emma laughed "Very funny Will, no way would our family like a 15 and 16 year olds getting engaged" Emma shook her head thinking Will was just joking but then she looked over at him and saw the seriousness in his face. "Wait your serious?" Emma said shocked as the smile dropped off of her face.
"I thought since you loved me and said you knew I was your one and only true love I thought you would be ok with a long engagement"
"I don't know I never thought about it before"
"Emma" Will said turning to face her as he grabbed her hands in his "I love you more then anything and all I want to do is keep on loving you till the day I die. I have never been so sure of anything in my entire life. Yes we are young but age is just a number, weather I'm 16 or 26 I will still love you the same or even more. I wanted to give this to you in the future but after my accident I realized life is short and I want to give you a small token of my love for you to wear on your left hand" Will said as he pulled a ring out of his pocket "I want you to know how much I care for you and love you. I'm not saying lets run out and get married; I just wanted you to know that I want this to last forever. So Emma Pillsbury will you be my wife one day?" Will said with a smile on his face but also a little scared on what her answer was going to be.
All that was heard now was the countdown in the background on the TV.
"5…4…3…2…"
Emma smiled "Yes I would love too"
"…1…Happy New Years!" The words came through the speakers of the tv but Will and Emma didn't hear a word of it.
"I love you!" Will said with a huge smile on his face as their lips crashed together at the stroke of midnight.
"I love you too, so much!" Emma said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Here lets put this on your finger" Will said holding the ring up as Emma stuck her left hand out towards him. Will slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her hand. "Thank you for starting this year out so great for the both of us"
"No thank you Will, you make me so happy!" Emma said with a huge smile on her face. "This is the best way to start the New Year!"
