A few months later and I was good. I had testified against Jacqueline with the help of Soul, despite still being terrified of her. Soul had been with me through my worst days, where I couldn't get out of bed, where I wouldn't eat, where I would get mad at everything he said. He still stayed. I got closer and closer to Tsubaki and all of her friends, we had great times. I finally told Papa I had a boyfriend and after crying for three days, threatening messages and a weird confrontation, he finally got over it. I had totally forgot that he was engaged.

I was glad Maka was okay, the light was back in her bright green eyes, her hair had volume, the dark circles under her eyes had disappeared. She was back to normal. I spent most of my time at Makas house, however one afternoon, my father called me.

"Solomon, it has come to my attention that it is your nineteenth birthday in a few weeks"

He actually remembered my birthday, "yeah, what about it?"

"Well, your...mother and I are throwing a party for you" I groaned,

"A...party?"

"Yes, a party. You will act like a proper gentleman, you will dress in a suit and you will have no say over who comes. Is that clear?"

So basically this 'party' was for him. Basically.

"Okay" and I sulked off in my room.

I spent the night wracking my brain for an idea for a present for Souls birthday. I decided tomorrow to go to the shopping centre and look for a present that he might like. The shopping centre was so busy! It was unbelievable. I went to a shop and looked for a phone case, then I realised I didn't know what kind of phone he had...I went to a clothes shop and looked for a t-shirt he might want. I decided on one that read, 'Lazy days, Ninja nights' in the front, I went to a baking shop and found a chocolate mould, so I bought it and icing bags. I would make him the best chocolate ever, I was sure he would love it.

I went home that night and wrapped his shirt, I wrote his card and taped it to the present. I melted the chocolate and poured into the mould, I let it cool and wrote,

'To the best boyfriend ever! Love you so much! From Maka xx' I was pretty pleased with it. I would invite him round tomorrow, I would make him the best birthday tea ever and I would give him his presents, it would be great.

Soul came over at about five o'clock, he was wearing a jeans, a tie and a white shirt, not too smart yet not too casual. He looked so amazing in it. I was wearing a long green dress that reached my knees.

"You look-look-wow!" Soul said, trying to speak, I blushed and went over and wrapped my arms around his neck,

"You don't look half bad yourself!" He smirked,

"Why, thank you very much" I lead him to the table and put down his meal, steak and chips.

"Maka! This looks great!" Soul said while drooling slightly. After an amazing meal I gave him his chocolate and his present.

"Maka! You shouldn't have, this is amazing, you're the best girlfriend ever"

I laughed, "I know!" And we ended our dinner with a kiss, we watched movies and just chatted. I lay on the couch, head resting on his chest, his his hand drawing patterns on my waist. I snuggled closer to him, smelling his familiar scent. After the movie ended I turned around on the couch so I was facing his chest, I moved my self up until I could reach his jaw and started kissing it, he kissed me on the forehead as I left small, love-filled kisses all over his jaw line. At about midnight, Soul went home. I waited until he was out of view then I closed the door, I wanted to make sure he left my place safe, I tidied and went to bed.

A week passed, and finally it was the night of the party. I dreaded this more than anything. The party started at seven. They were all my fathers friends. The music was classical, bleh. I didn't know any of the guests, they were all my fathers business partners. I had expected this. About half an hour later, my father called me over,

"Solomon, this is Miss Elizabeth Cunningham. Your future wife" he pointed to a particularly beautiful woman with blonde hair in curled pigtails, wearing a beautiful ball gown of silk. It was true, she was gorgeous but she had nothing on my Maka. My father pointed to a room.

"Go talk in there, plan your wedding, etcetera" so I held her hand and lead her into the room and we sat at a table.

"So Soul...when should we have the wedding?" she asked. I didn't care.

"I dunno" I said, Elizabeth sighed, but she still smiled.

"Okay, what do you want me to wear?" I answered truthfully

"Whatever the hell you want" I couldn't stop thinking of Maka, I didn't want to marry Elizabeth. She slammed her small fists on the table.

"Listen, Soul. I don't want to do this either, but our parents want us to! So we have to do it!" I regained focus, she...didn't want to marry me?

"You love someone else, don't you?" She played with her fingers, twisting them nervously in the palm of her hand,

"If you don't mind me saying...no, I don't. My heart belongs to another...but my father won't let me marry him" a single tear made its way down her face, I held her hand.

"Listen, I love someone else too. So, before this goes on any longer. We're going to rebel. Tonight, can you help me do that?" She was scared. Petrified. Terrorised.

"O-okay" I held her hand and walked out of the room, for once, I was deciding my own fate.

aah! God, I'm so impatient to get this out! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, review please! See you next time!
