back to the car. He was just standing there shocked.

"B..bye" He said then we drove away

On the way home it was silent, I didn't want to say anything because Emma looked deep in thought about something.

 "Something else bothering you sis?"

"No, no it's nothing"

"Tell me"

"Well I just feel like I'm supposed to choose"

"Choose? What do you mean?"

"Choose between Adam, Caleb, and Ashton"

"Adam is part of that now?"

"No not exactly, I mean he's cute and funny and all, but he's more of a friend ya know?"

"Yeah, he's a cool friend"

"And then there's Ashton"

"What about him?"

"I've known him since forever, and I didn't even realize he liked me like that"

"Well you didn't really ever pay much attention to that stuff"

"I should've"

"Maybe"

"Then there's Caleb"

"Nope"

"Nope what?"

"There's no Caleb"

"What do you mean?"

"He only went out with you because of a bet that only benefit him, he didn't care about your feelings and he sure as hell didn't care about your reputation"

"Well..."

"Did he say something to you that changed your mind about him?"

"Maybe"

"What did he say"

"He said that he...he told me the truth"

"The truth? Does he even know what that is?"

"He told me the truth about everything, the bet, his feelings, everything"

"So that doesn't mean you should forgive him!"

"I didn't say I would go back with him, but I did forgive him"

"Emma!"

"What? It's my decision, I can't live in the past forever and he apologized so it's not a big deal"

"It's not a big deal??? It's a huge deal!!! He chose to make the bet even when he knew it would be crushing your heart so that's a big deal to me, and you have a thing of living in the past, you can't seem to let our parents go after 3 YEARS, they are gone and they aren't coming back so you need to get over that, I've gotten over it so it's your turn"

"..."

I turned to her and she was crying

"I'm sorry Em"

"..."

"I didn't mean to go off at you, I just don't want you to get hurt again"

"..."

"Emma please talk to me"

"..."

"Please"

"..."

"Emma"

She reached for the radio and blasted the random channel it was on, I guess we'll talk when we get home

 

15 minutes later

 

(Emma's POV)

 

I can't believe he told me to leave our parents in the past, I know it's been 3 years but I just can't get over the fact that they are gone, they were the people that loved me the most, the people that never hurt me, I hate being mad at my brother because he's the only one I have left, he's the only other person that cares about me, no matter how hard things get, it'll never change. I don't plan on giving him the silent treatment forever, I'll forgive him when he comes in my room later to apologize 50 billion times. We finally get home after what feels like an eternity.

"Emma will you please talk to me?"

"..."

Please, I can't stand it when you're mad at me"

"I know" I said then I got out of the car and went up to my room

 

Later that night

 

'Knock Knock' I knew it was my brother but I didn't tell him to come in, I just acted like I was sleeping

"Emma, can I come in?"

I knew he would come in anyway

"Emma? Are you sleeping?"

"..."

"I know you're not sleeping"

"..."

"Look, I'm sorry I went there, I'm sorry ok, I'm really really really sorry, please forgive me, please please please please"

 "..."

"Ems?"

I heard him walk around the bed to my side, then I felt the bed sag

"Please forgive me"

I sat up so I could see him and I wiped my tears

"I'm sorry Em, I didn't mean to make you mad at me or to make you cry, I know it's hard to let them go but you still have me and I'm not going anywhere aytime soon"

 "B-but you will leave m-me"

"What makes you think that?"

"Y-you'll get a gir-girlfriend a-and then y-you'll l-leave"

"Emma, I would never leave you, even if I got a girlfriend, I would make sure the girl is ok with me being here for you before I make her my girlfriend, besides, you're the only girl for me right now"

"B-but you-you're the quar-quarterback"

"So?"

"So, every girl in school likes the quarterback"

"That doesn't mean I'll like them back and leave my little sis in the dust"

"..."

He wiped a tear away from my cheek and looked into my eyes

"It's just me and you against the world"

"for now" I smiled

"So does this mean you're not mad at me anymore?"

"I wasn't mad, I was just hurt that you would say something like that to me"

"I really am sorry about saying that to you, I was just so mad that you were forgiving that douche so easily"

"But I wasn't forgiving him so easily, I was still really mad at him but then he told me that he actually started having feelings for me and that he was actually heartbroken when I broke up with him, when he said he was heartbroken I was kind of happy to know he had emotions, and that's why I'm not getting back together with him, but I will be his friend, just to guide him and to help him learn what a real relationship is, and maybe teach him not to be such a douchebag" I said with a laugh

"I'm sorry Em, I'm just trying to look out for you"

"I know you are, but I'm almost 16 and I'll be able to drive soon so you'll have to give me some freedom, meaning you have to let me make some mistakes so I can learn from them"

"Ok, but I don't like the idea of you being able to drive" he winked at me

"Haha I'm totally a better driver than you"

"As if"

"Hahaha you are such a girl"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes now go to bed, we'll talk in the morning"

"Ok goodnight little sis" He said then kiised me on the forehead and got up to leave

"Goodnight big bro"

 

later that night

 

(Caleb's POV)

 

I can't sleep I keep think about Emma. What she's wearing right now, even though I'm pretty sure she's wearing her short shorts with a tank top, she looks so cute in that outfit. I know she probably won't ever take me back, but I'm lucky just being her friend. God I love her sooooo much, how did Ashton do it all this time, being friends with someone you love is the hardest thing ever. Should I text her? No she's probably sleeping, but what if she's still up? No it's 1am she won't be up.

 

"Hi" She sent back right away

"You're up?" I asked surprised

"Yeah"

"Why?"

"Can't sleep"

"Bummer"

"Yeah, why are you up?"

"..." I couldn't tell her the reason I was up was because I couldn't stop thinking about her

"C, why are you up?"

"Because, I can't stop thinking"

"About?"

"..."

"Caleb, you can tell me"

"About you"

"..."

"See I couldn't tell you"

"Sorry, I get it but it's not like I can do anything about that"

"I know you can't"

"Do you want to come over?"

"Your brother doesn't like me"

"I invited you, besides he's sleeping"

"But if I knock on the door he'll wake up"

"Then climb up to my window"

"Lol ok, I'll be there in 20"

"I'll be waiting"

 

20 minutes later

 

(Emma's POV)

 

Tap Tap

I got up to go open the window for Caleb

"Hi"

"Hey" he said climbing into my room, once he was in he just stood there looking at me

"What? Do I have a bug on me or something?" I asked freaked out

"No I just missed seeing you in your pjs" He said making me blush

I took his hand and walked over to the bed

"What are you doing?" he asked

"I'm tired" I said climbing into my bed

He just stood there awkwardly, it was kind of cute

"Hehe come here" I said moving over so he could crawl in bed too

"I missed your laugh" He said climbing into the bed and looking at me

"I'm cold" I said moving closer to him 

"Haha then go put on some other pjs"

"But that would mean I would have to get out of bed and walk all the was over there" I whined "Can't you just warm me up?" I said and moved closer to him

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to him,  I put my head on his chest

"I don't think coming here helped any"

"It did"

"How?"

"You couldn't stop thinking of me and that was keeping you awake, so you came over here and now you can sleep knowing I'm right next to you" I said turning around so my back was facing him

"So you're ok with me being here, next to you like this?"

"Yeah, it's not like we're doing anything, besides I'm cold and you're warming me up and I'm helping a friend get to sleep so it's a win win situation."

"Ok as long as it's ok with you"

"It is, now go to sleep" I said putting my hand over his hand still wrapped around my waist

"Goodnight Emma"

"Goodnight Caleb"

Chapter 13- Choosing

 (Caleb's POV)

I woke up to something rubbing against my leg, I opened my eyes a little and I saw gorgeous black hair, that smelled like strawberries and watermelon. I tried to remember what happened last night and where I was. I know I wasn't in my own room, I reached over the figure rubbing on me to see the alarm clock. 8:00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to get up as fast and as quiet as possible, but the person beside me moaned and said "Don't leave, I'm cold" I realized then who it was.

"Ems, I have to go, before your brother sees me"

"Noooooo stay a little longer, if it makes you feel better you can lock my door." she said half asleep

"Fine, I'll stay a bit longer, but only a little bit then I have to go"

"Ok" She said and went back to sleep soundly

I went around to her door and quickly locked it, then I ran back to her bed and crawled back under the covers with her

"You're so cold Em"

"I know, that's cause you left me"

"I'm sorry beautiful, I'll never leave you again."

"Promise?"

"I promise" I said kissing her forehead

"I love you Ashton" She said and kissed me on the lips

Did she just say Ashton?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

"Who do you love?"

"You silly"

"Are you awake?"

"Yes" she said sleepily

"Fully awake?"

"Haha no, I'm tired and I want to sleep"

"Who am I?"

"You should know that?"

"I do but do you?"

"Yes silly"

"Can you say my name please?"

"Cal...eb"

"Thank you, you can sleep now" I said kissing her gently

"I'm cold"

 "That's cool"

"Ughhhhhhhhhh come warmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmeeeeeeee uuuuuuuuuuuuup"

"Hahahaha fine" I said crawling closer to her and wrapping my arms around her

 

4 hours later

 

(Emma's POV) 

 

"Emma, time to wake up its noon and you haven't even eaten breakfast yet" Isaiah said

"mmmmmmm"

"Please Emma"

"5 more minutes"

"Ok but if you're not up and dressed in 5 minutes, I'm coming in and dragging you out, by the way you have a visiter"

"..."

"WAKE UP EMMA!!!!!!!!!!"

"What I'm up I'm up, geez no need to scream"

"Mhm"

I opened my eyes and tried to get up, only to be pulled back down by an arm around my waist

"mmmm Caleb you know how much I'd love to stay here with you but you heard by brother, we have to get up"

"I recall him saying YOU have to get up, he doesn't know I'm here remember"

"Yeah Yeah, you still have to get up too though because he might see you"

"But I want to stay here and cuddle with you"

"Cute but you can't, you can stay here until I get out of the shower but then you have to leave"

"Can't I take a shower with you?"

"Hahahaha no Caleb, you have to
