**EMMAS POV**
at the moment i was currently having a spazz attack in my bedroom trying to get ready for when hayes shows me around the neighborhood in about 4 minutes. i wanted to look good but not look like i was trying to hard at the same time. i decided on a simple black and white pair of nike shorts and the first shirt i pulled out of my closet. scratch that... the second shirt because the first shirt i pulled out was a shirt i had made in like 7th grade that read "hayes griers future girlfriend". like what are the chances?? anyways the second one i pulled out was a southern marsh tank top, thats good enough.
i trampled down the stairs with my white low top converse in hand and opened the door to hayes on the porch steps. when he heard the door he turned around. "sorry that i took so long" i tied my shoes and stood up with the help of hayes' hand. we started walk around the neighborhood.
"first, we're going to loop around this street and head in the direction of the park."
"sounds good!" i agreed. i was extremely nervous that i was going to trip and fall or embarrass myself in some way.
" so where did you move here from?"
" oklahoma... boring right? i said with a chuckle.
"its boring here too. unless youre in my family... my little sister, Skylynn can be quite the drama queen... never a dull moment with her." Skylynn!shes so adorable!! "do you have any siblings?"
"i had a brother..." i really wish he hadnt brought this up because i dont feel like getting all weepy in front of him. i cant have him thinking im a wimp.
" had? what happened?" deep breaths, emma.
"well..." i gulped. " he and my dad were driving home from my brother, griffins' baseball practice. they got hit by a drunk driver and my brother died on impact, my dad died shortly after in the hospital..."
" oh my gosh, emma!! im so sorry. i had no ide-"
" no! no its fine!! you had no clue and its fine."
" i still wish that i hadnt brought it up." he opened his arms and wrapped the around me. (WOWOWOWOWOW ive never expirienced a legendary hayes hug!!!!) i wrappedy arms around him and he held me tight. i looked up and he moved his eyes. our eyes met and it was something magic. like in the movies.
** HAYES POV **
she looked up at me. this was my chance. now or never. i went for it. i pushed my lips against hers and i felt sparks fly. like in the movies. i held onto her. i never wanted to let her go. when we finally seperated from each other i started to freak out inside. what if she didnt even like me like that? what if i was totally wrong? dear god please help me!
**EMMAS POV***
HE KISSED ME... i was convinced that this was another dream. but when i had come to the conclusion that it was in fact reality i couldnt hardly breathe. we looked up into each others eyes and it was just magic. he hugged me and held me tight again. i never want you to let me go, i thought. never. he whispered in my ears, " tell me if i ever go to fast... but emma, i really like you. like since i first saw you."
chills shot down my back. i cannot breathe. "hayes, ive liked you way before you even knew i exsisted. you have no clue how much this means to me. im not good enough for you."
"what are you talking about? youre perfect, Emma! your beautiful hazel eyes and brown hair and just everything about you. there is nothing better. nothing.
