Phil POV
I felt a huge relief come off of my chest last night when her father said she can stay. I did not appreciate how rude he was in my home but at least we got Aubrie out of it. 

I love Aubrie like she was a real sister and not just someone I met at the airport. She has really taken a toll on my heart. We haven't talked since Dan found her the other night, and I know she's been trying to talk too me but I just ignore. I feel horrible but I hurt so much, she promised she would no longer do it.

Aubrie was upset about the e-mail, but she could have talked to me about it instead of hurting herself. I can't be mad forever though. Dan offered to throw her a homing party but she said there's no point because she's always been home. This girl is so adorable. Hannah is so lucky to have such an amazing girl.

I heard Aubrie walking downstairs to the kitchen where I'm making some breakfast. She sits at the breakfast bar and I can hear her sigh.
"Good morning, you okay?" I ask placing a plate in front of her. She smiles, probably more at the fact I'm talking to her again. 
"I am now. I know why you were ignoring me the past couple days, I truly am sorry Phil. I honestly have no idea why I even did it. I-"
"It's okay, Aubrie. We all get ticks for something that helps calm us. Mine for example is baking. Random, I know, but I do understand why you went to that. Just know I am always here to talk when you need me. Never feel like you have nobody, because you always do and always will."
"I know I do. Thank you Phil."
"Of course Aubrie."
"Phil, did you.. Did you mean everything you said to my father? About me?" 

"Yes, why would I lie about all of that? You have grown so much since we met on that plane. I'm proud of you." She blushes and smiles.
"I feel different from that girl on the plane. All thanks to you and Dan."
"I'm glad. Shit!"
"What?"
"DANIEL JAMES HOWELL! He's not awake yet, he's going to be late."
"It's Friday, it's his day off."

Dan ran downstairs in a panic and seen Aubrie laughing. 
"What?! What's wrong?!"
"Nothing, he just forgot you had today off."
"Damn it Phil, you scared me!"
"I'm sorry babe." I walk up to him and give him a hug.

Aubrie insisted she walk to school, she must be meeting up with Hannah again. Since Dan and I have the flat to ourselves for the day, I thought I would take Dan on a surprise date.

"Dan, get dressed. I'm taking you out." I walked out of the lounge and into the bedroom to get dressed. 
I can hear him groan but then jump up with an excited "woo!"
"We haven't been on a date in forever!" He ran in and went to his wardrobe.
"I know! Hey Dan, can I ask you something?"
"Of course baby."
"Were you serious about wanting a family with me?"
"Hell yes. You are the man I want to spend forever with, raise a family, grow old and grey with. I want to do everything with you.. I love you Philip Michael Lester." 

My heart filled with so much love with every word he said. I can't believe I almost gave him up. So glad I didn't.

Hannah POV
As Aubrie and I were walking to school, I decided to give her a present.

"Hey Aubrie?"
"Yeah?"
"I know we've only been dating a couple days now but we were friends before that and I wanted to give you this." I took off my necklace that had a rose quartz with a small dragon wrapped around it. 
"Oh my... Thank you, Hannah! It's beautiful." She then kisses me.

I don't know if it's to early too tell but, I'm pretty sure I love her. I would never give this to just  anyone. Chris has a similar one, but instead of a rose quartz he has a cherry quartz with a dragon wrapped around it.

We get to school, hand in hand, when a few girls come up to us. One being Eva. I can feel Aubries hand get tight and a little sweaty, she was nervous. I don't blame her.

"Hey lezbos, I see you finally found a new piece." One of the girls said, Amelia, to Aubrie.

"She is not just a 'piece' Amelia, she's my girlfriend. More than what that bitch was." She said pointing to Eva.
"Aw, are you going to cry about it again? Hm? Maybe get my boyfriend locked up again? Oh wait, YOU ALREADY DID THAT!" Amelia then pushes Aubrie hard enough that our hands separate. 
"HEY! Do not touch her!"

"Why? Are you going to kick my ass? I seen you and Evie fight, you would be on the ground in a second." 

Just as she said that, I punch her in the nose.

"Maybe you didn't see I was watching Evie fight, not fighting her. That was your other little clone, Chloe." I grab Aubries hand and head for the art block. 
"Hannah, you didn't have to do that. I had it."
"Aubrie, you're still not fully healed. You still have bruising, just like Chris did. You would have ended back into the hospital. Plus, nobody touches my girl." I wink at her and see she begins to blush.

Phil POV
I take Dan to Starbucks and we order our usual, which the barista already knows. I pay and grab our drinks.
"Ready?" I ask while handing Dan his cup.
"Yep! Thanks Phil." 
"No problem."

We get into the car and I drive us to a park that usually never has anyone there so it's perfect.

"I love it here, it's so calm and peaceful."
"I know, that's why I picked here."
"Picked it for what? My death?"
"No. Daniel James Howell, we have been through some very hard times these past few months and I just want to say that I put all of that behind us. It helped us build our relationship even more and has showed me that I wouldn't want anyone else in front of me, to love me, besides you. Will you marry me?" Dan doesn't hold back and begins to cry. Bringing his heart eyes out as well. 
"Of course I will!!" He tackles me and kisses me.

"I have another surprise for you. Come on." I say as I watch him put the ring on. I grab his hand and we walk towards the area that had benches and tables. 
"Is that Louise and Darcy?" 
"No, That's Louise and Skylar."
