Forty Six

***Warning! Short chapter, but also very sad. Although, you might want to read it to understand.***

Spencer's POV~

Months passed, happily. In November, Caleb and Kelsey's baby boy was born. Emma had spent Thanksgiving in Nashville with her father, while I had went to Indiana. Then, she came to Indiana with me for Christmas. We were back in Nashville just in time for New Years, where we both shared a "new years kiss" as people called it. Now, my favorite holiday with my girlfriend, Valentine's Day.

I had this whole day planned out. We went to dinner, caught a movie, and were now walking through a park.

Snow was still falling, Christmas lights were still up and Valentine's Day decorations were up as well. It only made my plan even better. I had a surprise for Emma tonight.

I was excited, but also anxious. This all depended on her say.

Emma had slipped her hand into mine, and laced our fingers. I smiled, "I love you, gorgeous."

"Love you too," she muttered.

I looked at her. She was acting weird all evening, and it only worried me.

"Babe, is everything okay?" I asked. She nodded and didn't say a word. I sighed, "Sweetheart, you can tell me anything. You know? I won't judge you."

"I know." She mumbled, "I don't wanna talk about it."

"Okay." I nodded.

I stopped walking and pulled Emma against me. Eventually, she wrapped her arms around me as I did the same.

She shivered as I held her in an embrace. And I didn't want to let go. I never wanted to let go of her. I knew it, she was the one. However, it was a little early. It was only two months until our first anniversary.

"Thank you. I needed this," she whispered.

I smiled and kissed her head, "You're welcome, babygirl. Anything for you."

She sucked in a deep breath.

I knew she was hiding something from me. What? I didn't know. Normally she'd open up to me about these things.

"I love you, Spencer." She whispered.

"I love you too," I smiled, "Do you remember our first date? The first time I had spent the night at your house? Or the first time we cuddled together? Or when I had finally announce our relationship to the fans? Emma, babe, I live for these moments with you. I have fallen in love with you a little more everyday since I seen you at Chickfila."

"Spencer," she sniffled.

"No, listen. I thank God for you every night before I go to bed. I'm always praying for you. You're my love, Emma. Honestly, so much has happened in this past year, it's crazy. And I can't picture my life without you. Emma Lynn, you have no idea what you do to me. I still picture that little girl in the dirt playing by herself, then I look ay you. You're so amazing, and talented, and beautiful. I am so happy that I have you in my life."

"Spencer," she sighed, "We need to talk."

She pulled back, a frown coming to her lips.

"About what, baby?" I asked.

She looked down, and shook her head. Once she looked back up, it looked as if she was going to cry.

"Spencer, I'll always love you, but I can't do this anymore." She replied.

"Can't do what anymore? Emma, are you breaking up with me?" I questioned.

She bit her lip and nodded, "I'm sorry, Spencer. I love you, but everything is just becoming too much."

I took a deep breath as a tear fell from her eye.

"You're just giving up on us? It hasn't even been a year. You mean everything to me," I mumbled.

"I'm sorry." She whispered, "Check your Twitter, and Instagram. Maybe you'll see why. I love you."

She sighed and quickly kissed me one last time before walking off. I had forgotten that her apartment was only blocks.

I love you.

I bit my lip and shoved my hands into my pockets. My fingers curled around the small velvet box. I let out a shaky breath as I slipped my hand out of my pocket, the little box laying in my hand.

Slowly, I opened it.

It was something small, but it had a huge meaning. Not only to her, but to me.

It was a promise ring. It almost looked like a knot that was being tied in the process.

I just wanted her, and now she's gone.
