A Girl and a Whiteboard

Chapter Thirty-one

First off, I don't know why this chapter got randomly deleted but I'm finally rewriting and I hope I do it justice the second time, keep in mind that it's been several months since I've written anything for AGAAW, this isn't medically correct once again, but I hope you guys enjoy and thank you for reading this(:

It's ironic that the moment I've been waiting for weeks is finally here and yet I couldn't get myself to say anything. It's like my body stopped and time stopped but Andy didn't stop looking at me. I was so mad because in the one moment that I actually needed my voice, nothing came out. I kept opening and closing my mouth just willing something, anything, to come out, I felt like a fish out of water. I could slowly see myself drowning. This was too much. 

I backed slowly towards the wall, I needed something to help hold me up. The boys noticed and Matt and Oliver tried to distract Andy while Jace was sent to calm me down. 

Jace helped steady me and he dragged me out of the room.

"Come on Emory, you have to calm down babe."

"I know, it-it's just too much." My breathing was slowing down to it's normal rate and I could feel my heart beat getting steadier. 

He titled my chin up, "Take your time, he's already waited months to ask you, he can wait a few more minutes." he chuckled a bit and I couldn't help but do the same.

"Okay I'm ready."

I took a deep breath and walked in with Jace. I stayed back a bit and watched all the boys interact.

"Damn, I was just about to her out too and then you just had to wake up man." This was basically Jace saying I'm glad you're awake to Andrew. 

"What're you talking about, I already asked her out two weeks ago, in fact, today is our two week anniversary." Matt being the little flirt, like always.

"Wow, hate to break it all of you guys but she's actually been playing you guys all along, and we've been going steady for two months now." It was so funny seeing Oliver pretend to hit on me like the rest of the boys. 

They all burst into laughter and somehow all their laughs meshed together, the three musketeers was going to have to go through a major name change. 

"Oh and we lost the first game apparently."

"Obviously because they were missing their four best players." Oh yes there was the cockiness I missed. 

They all agreed with Andy, it was funny because they didn't even look like they were joking, for sure would have to see them play sometime. I was pulled out of the trance by someone tugging on my dress.

I looked down and it was Lily, I snatched her up into my arms, "Emory, why aren't you with my brother?" The poor thing had a sad little smile on her face.

"I just needed to make sure this was actually real."

"So it's real then? The curse wore off?"

"Yes it did sweetie, my fairytale came true."

Right then Annabelle burst in through the door and she caught my eyes and I nodded back because I knew what she was asking. All the boys noticed that they probably wanted a moment alone, I put Lily down and she ran up to Andy and the boys and I all walked out. 

"Dang Emory you keep getting lucky and keep prolonging time until you get to see him."

"I know, I know, I'm just scared that's all."

"You have nothing to be scared of, he loves you."

"Are you guys sure."

They said, "Yes," all at the same time, so maybe Andrew did love me back.
