Love Will Rise Above

Hearing a tapping sound on my window, I looked up from the book I was reading and smiled when I saw Emily crouched in front of my window. Looking towards my bedroom door which was wide open, I rolled off of my bed and over to my door to close it. Since our parents have found out about our relationship being more than friendship they hadn't allowed us to see each other, this was my first moment alone in weeks. If it wasn't for school and being able to hide out at our friend's house for a few hours, I would've seen Emily at all. Walking over to the window, I pull the curtains back and unlocked my window to push it up with help from Emily.

"What are you doing here?" I asked while helping Emily through the window.

Emily replied with "Your sister texted me."

In shock I say "My sister Melissa?"

"Yeah, I know I was surprised to. She texted me saying you were home and told me your parents weren't coming home tonight."

"I can't believe she texted you, I would've but my parents took my phone.

"It's fine, who knew your sister would turn out to be one of our savours."

"I know, it's crazy but what did you tell your Mum?"

Emily replied with "I had Aria ring the house phone, which Mum of course answered because I'm not allowed out of my room but I had five minutes alone with my phone to arrange it all. Aria called my house to tell my Mum that she was having a hard time dealing with her parents splitting up and needed me over urgently, for sleepover and movies. Mum of course wanted to speak to Aria's Mum and Aria got her Mum to tell my Mum that Aria and I had organised with her for me to come over to do homework, which of course did at school in front of Aria's Mum so it wasn't a lie. Mum asked Aria's Mum if it was okay for me to spend the night and of course Ella was happy to have me over at any time, with the promise of no Spencer being there."

"Oh god we are turning into Romeo and Juliet."

"You are so Juliet and I can be your Ruby," Emily said all serious.

I smiled and asked "When did everything get so complicated?"

Emily answered with "I don't know I hate having to do all the lying but it's definitely worth it."

"Yeah it is," I say while pulling Emily in for a kiss. Spending any time with Emily even if just a minute in the hallway, where we get to smile at each other and look longingly at each other; it was totally worth it. Eventually our parents are going to come to their sense and understand how much we are about each other, and that keeping us a part just isn't going to work; we were hoping.

Pulling back when I realised something, I asked with a smile on my face "If you knew that my parents weren't here why didn't you just ring the doorbell?"

Emily replied with "Two reasons, one your Mum's car was out the front and I thought your sister might have been lying; since it's totally something she would do. And two, I thought it would be more romantic to climb up to your window, now that we are Ruby and Juliet it fits."

"You are adorable," I say while smiling even bigger.

Emily asked after the kiss "What were you doing?" I watched as Emily turned back around to close my window for me.

I replied with "Just reading that book for English," Emily sat down on my sofa chair I have in my room and I swear it's her favourite thing in the room.

Emily asked "How much have you read?"

"Maybe about halfway through but I haven't really paying attention, I've just had other things on my mind."

"Oh yeah?" Emily asked with a wicked smile upon her face. Smiling back at Emily as I walked over to the bed, I scooped the book up from the bed and started to read the back of the book.

"Spencer?" Emily asked in this whiney-cute tone of voice.

"Yes Emily," I replied while looking across at Emily with an eyebrow rosed.

"Can you read to me?" Emily had this cute puppy-eyed look as she asked.

I replied with "Of course but why?"

"I love the sound of your voice."

"And?" I asked knowing there was more to it than her just liking the sound of my voice.

"And I eventually have to end up reading it too and I really don't want too."

"Lazy," I replied with.

"Spencer pleaseeee," Emily dragged out the 'e' at the end of the word and brought out her pout; which no one can resist. Smiling across at Emily before grabbing a blanket off from my bed and moved at Emily who stood up from the sofa.

"Why did you stand up?"

"Thought it be easier and I wanted to be in your arms," smiling at Emily's cuteness before taking a seat down on the sofa. Once I was comfy on the sofa I tapped on my thigh for Emily to sit down and when she did she was very gentle, I wrapped my arms around her and Emily rest her head back onto my chest. As I began reading the book to Emily I started to think of ways to thank Melissa, making her breakfast in bed for a month was definitely going to be involved I never realised how cool having a big sister could but as I felt Emily snuggle into me more I remembered. Pecking Emily on top of her head, I took a deep breath of Emily's shampoo and it smelt amazing; just like Emily completely amazing.

The End.
