"Why, Jace?" I cried.

"I don't know. I'm stupid!" He explained.

"You can be with Georgia because I'm leaving you." I walked away.

"Wait, Liz!" He grabbed my arm.

"Jace, you can't change what you did." I stopped.

"Lizzie, please forgive me." He begged.

"Jace, I really want to. But, I don't  think I can." I said and tried to get out of his grasp.

"Liz, please. How can I show you that I only want you?" He said.

"I don't know, you can start by breaking up with Georgia." I said.

"Okay. Lizzie, you don't understand. I will do anything to keep you." He said.

"Really?" I asked shocked.

"Yes, I love you." He smiled.

I stood there in shock not knowing what to say.

"I love you too." I smiled and ran up to him and hugged him.

"You forgive me?" He asked.

"Yes." I smiled and kissed his lips.

"So, he told you?" Hayes asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"What did you say?" He asked.

"I told him that I was leaving him but some how he convinced me to stay with him." I laughed.

"Oh.." He sighed.

"Okay, so.. I've been looking at a few houses for all of us. And I love this one!" I smiled showing him the pictures.

"It's perfect! But, I have some bad news.." He said.

"What's that?" I asked confused.

"I can't live with you guys.. I've found this job and it's no where close to here.." He said.

"Oh.. well, I'm proud of you and I'm sad." I pouted.

"I know. I'm so sorry. I really wanted to live with all of my closest friends. But, I really want this job, Liz." He said.

"I understand." I smiled.

"But, if this job doesn't work out you can always come back." I smiled.

"Okay. Thanks for understanding." He smiled.

"No problem." I smiled.

I got up and walked out of his room because Jace was waiting for me down stairs..
