Emery's view

It felt like my throat was on fire, as if I was going to explode from holding my breath. I tried to help Danny out. I did everything I could to pull his leg out from the seat that was clamped on it. But it was no use, I was losing the last bit of oxygen. I was prepared to keep on trying though until Danny pulled me away from home. He gave me a sorrow filled smile and hugged me one last time. He then mouthed the words goodbye. But I couldn't just give up, I had to help him, I couldn't leave him. But he kept pushing me away, as he mouthed go. So with my heart breaking and choking on the water I swam out of the car through the broken window and floated to the top.

I woke up in a cold sweat and immediately sat up. I started breathing heavily because I was freaking out. I then felt warm hands embrace my waist and pulled me close. Gracen tried calming me down by hugging me tight and gently stroking my hair. After a while I started breathing normally and Gracen cups my face in her hands and gives me a sweet kiss. Then we lay back done on the bed wrapped up in each other's embrace and go to sleep.

The next morning I wake up tangled in Gracen's arms and legs. She looks so adorable and I don't have it in me to wake her up yet. So I just lay there with her gently rubbing my hand up and down her back slowly.

"You're actually making me sleepier instead of trying to wake me up," she murmurs. I laugh and stop what I'm doing, then she adds,

"Hey I never said stop,"

Instead I kind of jump on her and give her a big hug. By this point she's wide awake and just giggles along with me. Then she sweetly places a kiss on my cheek. We both get up and walk down stairs. My mom is at work and my brothers are still sleeping and probably won't wake up until late in the afternoon. So Gracen and I eat something then decide to watch Netflix. Obviously not adding chill, because we barely kissed yesterday. We finally chose to start watching the first season of Supernatural. Apparently Gracen has never seen it before so I obviously had to force her to watch it. Five episodes later and Gracen and I can't seem to stop watching. I'm currently laying my head on her stomach as she keeps asking questions about the show. I can't help but looking up at her and getting lost in her beautiful face. Her eyes are such an amazing emerald color and every feature from her cute smile to her nose is so adorable. Then I focus in on her lips and all I want is to kiss her. Gracen catches on that I'm not listening anymore and that I'm staring at her, so she leans in close to give me a kiss. The feelings I have for her are unbelievable.

"I have no idea how I will ever get use to the feeling I get when I kiss you," I accidently say out loud. I blush in embarrassment as Gracen looks at me with a soft expression before she kisses me again. But this kiss is different, it's like we are pouring all of our emotion and feelings towards each other that we've had in the past few months.

Gracen's view

I just can't get enough of this girl. She's the most amazing person I've ever met. We stop watching supernatural because we got too preoccupied with giving each other kisses. I like how things aren't rushed between us, everything feels so natural and steady with her and I like it like that. I want to know more about her, so I ask a bunch of questions.

"So when was the first time you decided that you liked me?"

"Probably the first time I saw you," she blurts out fast which makes both of us blush.

"I mean, you are beautiful and that was my first thought when I saw you. At that first moment I got a crush on you," she explained.

I couldn't contain the happiness that was rising in me. She liked me the moment she saw me. It was so surreal to hear her say that.

"I'm just sorry that it took me five months to actually say anything," she adds.

I didn't answer, instead I gave her another meaningful kiss. I was so lucky to have her in my life.

"So, when did you start to have strong feelings for me?" Asks Emery.

"The day we went to the pier. I got to see a side of you that you didn't show at school." I replied.

"What did you like about me," she asks.

"You're personality. The way you're so compassionate and kind with others. Plus you're adorable," I reply giggling. Then I ask her the same thing.

"Honestly I like everything about you Gracen. I like your eyes, and especially your lips, but also who you are as a person. You're so understanding and patient with me all the time. And you just have a knack for making me feel special and that I matter."

Damn, this girl has a way of melting my heart. She's everything I could have asked for. I immediately pulled her in for a big hug and a kiss of course. I can't believe I'm so lucky. I can't wait to ask her to be my girlfriend soon, but I have to think of the best way to ask her.
