"I see sparks,
every time you 
smile."

"Arabella! Get up!Get up! Noah will be here in 15 minuted and you're napping!" My Moms voice woke me up out of my dream about Channing Tatum and Zach Efron fighting over me. Crap. I had completely forgotten about my date with Noah. I quickly got ready straightening my hair and quickly putting on a dress and some heels. Deeming myself presentable, I walked downstairs just in time to see Noah and my Mom bonding about how handsome he looked. My Mother loved Noah, very much. 
"Hello beautiful" Noah says as I wrap my arms around his neck, embracing his heavenly cologne.
"Hey" I hide my now red face into his shoulder. Ignoring my mom 'aww' ing  from behind us. 
"Ready to go?" I nod and he takes my hand leading us to his savvy car. 
The car journey went quickly and consisted of Noah singing along to all  the cheesy love songs that came on the radio, and me telling him to shut up even though I didn't actually want him to. He was so adorable. We drove through the town and before long, Noah pulled on to a car park. 
"Where are we?" I ask, cautiously. Looking around, I realized before long that all I could see was the back of a smallish building.
"This is the new Italian restaurant, they only opened last week, I thought it would be a nice treat" Italian food? My favorite? He remembered? Taking my hand, he lead us into the snazzy new restaurant. 

All night we talked about everything, our future included when suddenly Noah coughed for my attention. 
"Belles, I love you, so so much it hurts when I'm not around you. You're beautiful and kind, smart and just perfect. My favorite thing in the world is being around you, cuddling you, kissing you. And I want you to know that I want to spend my future with you." He pulled out a small square box. My breath caught in my throat...What the hell is he doing?
" Calm down belles I'm not proposing, this is a promise ring, a sign of my pure affection for you." He says blushing and looking down. I was so shocked and I was not expecting this at all. 
"Oh Col, I don't know what to say...." I muttered, smiling to myself. 
"Accept it, please Belles, I love you so much!" 
"Well then...I guess I accept" I say, grinning. We both stood up and shared a passion embrace, whispering our 'I love yous'. 
"I've got everything figured out, we're both going to UCLA, you'll study law and I'll major in Science, We'll have a small apartment, just off campus, it'll be great!" Wow...he really had got everything figured out 
"So I heard that Zoe and Chad totally hooked up over summer and......"  Addy's voice droned on and on, I was starting to blank out until I heard something that caught my attention. ".......and his name is Blake Johnson and he is so dreamy, he has these blue ey-" I cut her off, splurging my drink all over our table.
"B-Blake J-Johnson?" I stuttered. 
"Yeah about 6"  dreamy blue eyes, dark brown hair, do you know him?" Shit.
I scoffed mentally, Blake was back. He was actually back. Back in school, back in Graytown. My whole world seemed to crash around me, how could he? how could he do this to me, my world was finally piecing itself back together, everything was starting to be okay again. Tears came down my face without my permission. 
"Bella, are you okay? What's wrong?" Addy interrupted my mental panic. 
"I-I'm fine, I have to g-go! Just please don't tell Noah about Blake being back, please!" I shouted to her as I ran down the hall, my tears blurring my vision. 
I ran and ran, until I ran into a wall. Or at least what I thought was a wall. 

"Hello Rosie"
