Rejected.

I walked into Jared's room without knocking and there sat Jared rigidly.
"Shanan if you're here to tell me you want Will then I don't want to hear it. Shanan I haven't known you for long and I want to get to know you even better than I know myself. From the very first day I met you, you have been distressed and I want to be the reason you smile everyday. I want to protect you from every villain, I want to share your every burden, I want to know your every secret. I want you and I refuse to let you go" he was fighting for me
"Jared I-" I want you too, that was what I had wanted to say but he didn't give me the chance. Instead he took a step closer and put his finger to my lips
"My middle name is Grant, the only pet I've ever had was a goldfish and he didn't last a day, I hate sappy love stories, my biggest fear is losing you, I have no family except for Quinn, I hate cereal" he finished with a deep breath and then continued "you know almost everything about me now. I know we haven't known each other long but now you know things it would take others months to find out, in just a few moments? Shanan the moment I saw you I was drawn to you and now standing before you I know I can't lose you now. I want to get to understand you and to.... Shanan I want to be with you forever. Shanan I've never believed in love at first sight but the moment I laid eyes upon you I was a goner. I lost my heart to you Shanan. I've never fallen before, ever, but now I'm falling for you. I've already fallen for you" he looked up at me with nervousness and then I explained how I felt about him in the only way I could.

Our lips touched and through the kiss I tried to show him how much I loved and cared for him.

"Jared before you interrupted me I wanted to tell you that I chose you but I'm glad you spoke first because it made me realise that I did in fact make the right decision" I laced my fingers through his "Jared I want you to know me, I want you to save me and protect me and hold me. I want to start a new beginning with you by my side"
"Then this shall be the beginning".

And it was the beginning; it was the beginning of a love so strong that it mended two broken hearts and tied them together.

"Will you Shanan Falls accept me as your mate?" I looked into his brown eyes and melted
"Jared I do accept you as my mate" it took so much pain to get to this scene of complete and utter happiness but I had held on through the tough times and it had been worth it.

Don't give up because you never know when you will get your happily ever after. The best thing you can do in your tough times, and in life, is to hope. Hope for something better and then fight to keep that hope alive.

Author's note

Okay my loves thank you so much for all your support, encouragement and love. I started this when I was so young and it's been an honour to write for you all and have people actually enjoy my writing.

This is the second last chapter.

However, THERE IS A "BOOK 2" - which will be written by 'older' me, so hopefully there'll be less grammatical errors !!

Let me know if you would be interested in a book 2 !!

Much love, Princesswho 💕💕.
