The picture is how I think Emilia would look. I have no copyright over the picture but I hope this helps. Since I changed the cover that's how I picture Noah, but with brown hair. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Noah's POV

When I woke up in the morning, Emmy wasn't in my arms and I felt sad. Never in my life did I have actual feelings for a girl.
Most of my life had been full of meaningless hook-ups.
I told Emilia to get me breakfast while I hopped in the shower and got dressed. As I was wrapped in my towel I saw Emilia staring at me with her mouth open.
"Hey Emmy you might want to close your mouth, you might catch flies," I joke laughing. She instantly blushed and says "umm....sorry Noah."
I just brush her off and ask her if she's going to the party later. When she told me she was going, my eyes light up. I had been a total jerk to Emmy and now I wanted to spend all of my time with her.
Later when she came out of the bathroom in a navy blue dress, I thought I would have a heart attack right then and there.
"Emmy you look hot," I had said to her as we headed to the party, she blushed. I decided we would take my black Audi instead of my motorcycle. Although I would have loved for Emilia to have her arms wrapped around me.
When I took her for frozen yogurt, she had held on to me and nuzzled herself against me. I felt so peaceful in that moment, I didn't want to be anywhere else.
When Emilia and I got to the party, we went our separate ways and decided to meet up later. I decided to be the designated driver, although I didn't think Emilia would drink anything. Better to be safe than sorry though, right?
I talked to my best friend Parker for a while sipping a coke, but I kept scanning the room looking for Emmy.
An hour later Emilia came stumbling up to me, "So how's the party for you," she said slurring and giggling. I couldn't believe Emmy had gotten this drunk.
"Somebody had too much to drink,"I said chuckling, grabbing her by the arm. She resisted at first, but then I got her to get back into the Audi we had been in an hour before.
By the time we had gotten back to Emilia's house, she was passed out and was snoring in the backseat. I had to throw her body over my shoulder and sneak into the house.
I have a feeling her parents are oblivious to anything she does, because as I was carrying her around she started shrieking and giggling but her parents didn't come out or say a word.
I made Emilia drink a glass of water before bed and then I turned her on her side.
"Night, I've really missed you Emmy," I say sighing. I know she can't hear me, and even if she did she won't remember it tomorrow.
I wish things could be how they were before I moved. Everything would be so much easier if I wasn't falling for my best friend.

Emilia's POV
When I woke up the next morning I had the worst hangover ever. I opened my eyes to a smiling Noah, telling me how drunk I got last night.
I groan, "Noah can you please shut up and not be so annoying," I say. "I don't know Emmy, that's like asking you to not be sarcastic," he says laughing while handing me a glass of green liquid.
"Ew what is this?!," I ask. "It's my hangover cure, just drink it ," he says.
After I finish the gross mixture, I actually feel better.
Noah and I decide to just watch Netflix all day and I make him watch Life As We Know It. "How can two people who despise each other end up like that," I say.
Noah just laughs and avoids looking at me. Talk about awkward. We continue watching Netflix all day. At some point we end up cuddling, with me snuggling deeper into his chest.
I fall asleep with Noah's arms around me, more content than ever in his arms.
