Chapter 25

Chapter Twenty-Five
CHRISTOPHER POV:

    I can't recall what drives people to actually realize what the true value of friendship means. It's been ten days since the wedding and still I feel like the exhausted one. I've been getting emails from Ty and Lara Jean like crazy. And I'm actually happy to see their photos of them in Alaska. And they look happy. And I just can't wait sometimes to show Emma when we're on our laptop.

But lately I been thinking of my friendship lately. And I'm wondering if I can even trust anyone as my friend. After knowing what Lara Jean said to Emma and what she thinks about me and Emma it sort of just drives me crazy. And I wonder if she is really my friend. I have been her friend since freshman year of college. And she was all I knew in the university. I feel like she helped me through a lot. And now I think she sees all the dark things that happened to me. And just like every day I think of if staying friends with Lara Jean and letting her in... was it the right choice?

Ty and Lara Jean are to be back tomorrow morning. And I'm willing to do this trip that Ty wants. And he told me to invite Emma so that we can go to Ty's parents cabin. And I think this might help Emma and Lara Jean get to know each other. And they can maybe understand and try to work out their differences. Because that's exactly what they have. Lara Jean obviously doesn't trust Emma and is afraid that Emma will hurt me.

But what if I hurt her?

      Nobody can actually believe that after everything that went down when we first broke up. And I know we were both at our worsts and it would have been the wrong timing. And I see that now no matter how heartbroken I was. But now I'm actually feeling the reason to be with Emma at the best timing as possible. And Ty keeps telling me that Emma is my Elizabeth Bennett. And I've finally found her.

   It's funny because Ty always thought I'd be the one to get married first. But he somehow found his Elizabeth Bennett and took off to the new chapter and of course, journey. And maybe I'm a little bit envious of it. But if I was taught anything... I was told when I was young that waiting is worth the wait especially something like this. And I only have one perfect reasoning for anything... and that is that I'm willing to accept myself for being the boyfriend to Emma who is perfect. She wakes up with me everyday.

But when Emma is sleeping next to me, and I wake up a whole long few minutes before her, I wonder what she is dreaming of. And she's just so peaceful, that I love watching her. And then she can throw a pillow at my face just because I let her sleep in before taking a shower and then going off to classes. And I will say she looks good in her nursing scrubs. And it's all for a nursing school college that is right in Los Angeles here.

I guess you can say the mornings always start off pretty slow for me. But I always shower, shave any facial hair that sneaks it's way onto my face. And I always get dressed for my own classes. I have one class today and then I'm going to get home, hit the gym for like an hour and then return home to shower and then I'll go to work at Yummy Franks and be the busser for every table in the restaurant. And I enjoy job just like Emma enjoys the pizza restaurant she just started working at because the lifeguard job was her summer job and now that it's October, she is working a job with more hours and gives her such better pay. She enjoys working with toppings and sauce, and even taking orders because it's a fancy restaurant. At least that's how she describes it while working at Joe's Slice.

   If I remember correctly, Emma's mother worked at this restaurant like twenty five years ago. She was twenty, and it was the mid-nineties. I can only imagine the difference from now. But Emma comes home with the apron covered in sauce sometimes. But as I said, Emma probably has a lot in common with her mom.
