Amelia's POV

After about half an hour of brainstorming and starting to build, someone walks into the office. Peyton and I both turn around to see Michael standing there.

"What are you guys doing?" he asks.

"Playing minecraft," I answer as I save and exit out of the game.

"Well, you guys might want to get back to the party," he says. We nods as I turn off my Xbox. We stretch before we walk hand in hand out. As we walk out, A Thousand Years by Christina Perri starts to play. "May I have this dance?"

"You may," I say. My arms rest on his shoulder as his wrap around my waist.

Heart beats fast
Color and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

We get closer to each other. My gaze changes from the floor to meet his eyes.

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

We get even closer, to the point where we're almost toe to toe.

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

"You know, you really are beautiful," he compliments.

"Thanks," I blush. "You don't look bad yourself." He smiles.

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

I feel myself lean in. He follows my lead. Before our lips meet, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I pull away and turn around to see Miles standing there.

"Umm, can I talk to you for a sec?" he asks.

"Umm, sure," I say. I turn back towards Peyton. "I'll be right back. Don't drink another beer."

He laughs. "I won't AJ," he replies. I smile and give him a kiss on the cheek before dragging Miles to the Achievement Hunter office.

"Alright, what did you need to talk about?" I question.

"Arryn's moving to California in a few months," he blurts out.

"Okay," I say cautiously. "And?"

"We decided to end things," he sighs.

"Oh," I say not knowing how to respond. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," he replies. "It just hurts. I've given her three and a half years and now it's done. I didn't know who else to talk to."
