Emily POV

I hesitate for just a minute before I knock. I shiver in the cold as I wait at the front door of the IM5 house. I need to apologies to Cole. I was so mean and he doesn't deserve to be treated like that. I should have brought a sweet shirt. Too late now. I hope that Cole answers the door. I don't feel very social right now, but the boys are going to tour in two days, so it is really now or never. I hear the door being unlocked, and I gulp.

"Oh hi Emily!" Gabe said, acting kind of surprised. "Why didn't you just let yourself in? You have a key." I shrug.

"Is it the pizza?" Dana asks not looking away from the video game he is playing.

"Sorry, no pizza," I say holding back a smile. He looks at me and gives me a wave, and looks back at his game. "Hey, where's Cole?" I ask not seeing him.

"He is upstairs in his room," Dana says. "BATMAN GRAB A CONTROL ER QUICK!"

"I'M COMING ROBIN!" Gabe runs and jumps over the couch, and starts to play. I laugh, and walk up the stairs. I see two guest rooms first, and then a door that has bats on it, one with dancing people, and one with star wars. I found my door. I am about to knock when I hear music.

I open the door quietly and watch Cole. He sings "Me & This Girl". I feel tears in the corners of my eyes, and it is hard for me to not just walk out. He hasn't noticed me yet, why not? Than the song ends. I see that he is seems to be holding back tears.

"Cole?" I asks carefully. He jumps a little and looks at me.

"E-emily!" He says and stands up, too fast. He stands up so fast his chair falls over. I laugh. And he smiles. "What brings you here?"

"I um, just wanted to say I'm sorry," I admit, sitting down on is bed. I can't help but notice that

"For what? You haven't done anything!" He says, coming to sit by me.

"The other day, when you herd my song, and when you complemented me, I was a bitch and im sorry," I say, tears pooling into my eyes.

"No, Emily, Im sorry. I shouldn't have listaned in!" Cole says quickly. He is trying to take the blame. That is one of the things that I think I love most about him. No, I don't love him. Ugh.

"No. Search me on youtube," I explain. He brings over his laptop and searches. He looks throught the three videos and smiles. "This is because of you! Without you this song would just sit in my notebook with the dozens of other songs like it. Because of you I decided to try it. And people love it!" Cole is looking at the comments from my last video. I see him seeing all of the requests for "Going to be Me". I see him smiling sadly.

"Have you heard this one?" He asks, a sad smile on his face. He looks at me and I nod without looking at him. "How long were you standing their when I was singing?"

I blush and admit, "The whole thing."

He nods and asks, "Do you want to hear it again." Without thinking I nod. He takes a breath, and sings. The song sounds so perfect, and I feel a tear run down my check. I love him, but I can't tell him. But I need to tell him.

After he is finished, he tells me, "I don't want to rush things or overwhelm you, but I love you. And I want to help you in every way I can. I you can tell me anything."

I don't know why I do it. before I did I said." thank you Cole. you don't know how hard this has been and you have been so helpful and nice." next thing I know I kiss him. His eyes go wide at first than he kisses me back. We kiss and finally we both pull away. "I love you too." I say and he laughs a little and kisses me again. My heart feels warm, and all I can think is how soft his lips are. How special he is. He is my dream boy and I am kissing him. I am kissing my dream boy. We pull apart when we hear a knock on the door. I go over to answer it and find Gabe and Dana.

"You want to play with us?" Dana asks and we race them down to the controllers.

Later when I finally get home, I tell Alex everything. She is so happy for me.

"OMG I have an amazing idea!" she exclaims. She goes over to her laptop and after a few minutes she brings it over. "We should do the "it's going to be me" but in the point of view of the girl!"

"Oh my gosh Alex that is so smart!" I exclaim. I see that she pulled up the lyrics in a word document and we start, changing up the words. This was going to be amazing.
