Arriving at Emma's house I found myself still holding Hugh's hand 'oops' I thought. As if stalking us, the minute our feet touched the welcome rug, Emma had launched herself on the two of us. "Finally,' she exclaimed 'I wondered when you would get here" I squirmed trying to escape the horrendous hug she had us gripped in. "Sorry, Fiona I had forgotten you didn't like hugs." I gave her a look meaning that it was okay. Stepping into the living room I glanced around the room to find the usual gang. Olive and Enoch nestled up together on one of the other sofas, Millard sat on the middle of the floor, Jake was seated on a sofa with Emma, who had just sat back down, that left Hugh and me on the final sofa. Hugh walked over to the sofa and sat down before motioning me to come over. As I sat down the usual feeling of butterflies came plummeting back into my stomach. I felt an arm wrap around me I snuggled into him. 'This was okay' I thought 'we've been best friends since kindergarten' 'But then again I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to have a crush on your best friend.' Another voice told me. I started watching the movie that was on TV shaking those horrible thoughts out of my head. Soon enough it was time to head home "Fi, do you want me to walk you home?" I heard Hugh ask. I nodded. During the walk home, Hugh stopped behind me as he pulled a small box out of his pocket along with another nicely wrapped thing. He passed them to me, "open them." He told me. I slowly unwrapped the wrapped present first it was a notebook I looked at him confused. He smiled before telling me that it was for me to write down what I was feeling or songs that I made up in my head. I glanced up at him before giving him the longest hug ever. He gave me the small black box waiting for me to open it. 'I wonder what's in the box' I thought. I opened it to reveal a beautiful small heart necklace.

I just stared at him before giving him another hug and whispering "I love them." He helped put it on. We continued our walk in comfortable silence. Arriving at my house I kissed him on the cheek then closed the door leaving a baffled Hugh to touch his cheek before wandering home himself.
