I grabbed my phone from my back pocket.
I looked at the collar ID. It still said The Boy Next Door 😍. I never changed it since I met him.

I swiped the screen answering the phone.
"Hello?"I say. "Look down"he says. I stand up and look down. Except there was no one to be found. I felt someone grab my hand. I furrow my eyebrows. My face starts relaxing when I see him standing in front of me.

"I'm an idiot"Emilio says sincerely.
"Maybe a little" I say jokingly. He smiles showing no teeth.

Emilio looks directly into my eyes and says "I know that I hurt you, I might have hurt myself mentally as well. I couldn't stand being away from you. I was miserable and I hope that I can fix things, cause i'm crazy about you. I'll never be able to put in the right words to tell you how sorry I am. I know that sorry doesn't always fix things. But I would do anything and everything to make it up to you. I can't imagine my life without you. You are a big part of my life, I hope one day you'll be my whole life. We're still young, we have a whole future to get to. But as for now, I want to have fun, explore the world and adventure. But what would make all those experiences a million times better, is if you were there. I understand if you won't forgive me, but I can't let you out my life just like that I hope that we could still be fr...."He says and I grab his face with both hands pressing my lips onto his cutting him off.

I can tell that he was surprised but started to calm down as he grabbed my wrist and hands from his face. We moved our lips in sync. I couldn't get enough, it was so perfect. This time it felt more passionate and it was making me melt.

I felt so happy that I was with him, I couldn't help it that tears were rolling down my cheeks.

He pulled away even though I didn't want to. He wiped a tear away with my thumb. "No more tears" he says. "But these are tears of joy"I say smiling and sniffling.

He smiles and leans in being gentle with my lips. He picks me up from my legs and spins me around slowly and I smile through the kiss. We pull apart putting our foreheads together as he slowly puts me down.

"I'm sorry too"I say. "It was never your fault. There's no need for you to apologize. But everything's going to be okay, this is only the beginning"he says. "You're right, everyone gets bumps. That doesn't have to mean it's the end of the road."I say and he grabs my hand.

"Another thing I have to get off my chest. I was insecure about it. I mean you could have any girl you want, millions of girls want to be your girlfriend. I'm not always the jealous type but for some reason with you it's different. I'm sorry that I got so jealous, I can't help it."I say

"You don't have to feel that way, all those girls aren't anything like you. I would never just leave you and move on with another girl. You are the most unique person I know. No one could replace you, and no one ever will." He says and pulls me into a hug.

I hear the sound of a camera.

"Aweeeeeeeee"I hear a group of people say. I furrow my eyebrows and turn around to see Team 10 on my roof and Kian and Jc in the same place they were before but now with grins on their face.

I smile looking at everyone.

"How long were you guys standing there"I ask. "Almost the whole time"Jake says.

"Elaina, I'm here to apologize"Tessa says walking toward me.

"The twins are like the babies in the family. I thought that you just didn't like him that much and that you were only trying to play with his feelings. But I was wrong, you guys go good together. I'm really sorry this happened"She says.

I don't say anything just a small smile. I look over at Kian and Jc.

"I'll be back"I say to Emilio. I walk over to them. I give them both big hugs. "I love you guys so much"I say. "We love you too Nena"Kian says. "I thought you guys would forget about that old nickname"I say cringing

"Never"Jc says. "I remember 3 years ago when I first met that 15 year old girl who lit up every room, was a silly weirdo, making everyone laugh"Kian says. "She's still standing right in front of us "Jc says.

"Speaking of which what are we doing for you 18th birthday. It's next week"Kian says he say getting hyped.

"We can do anything, as long as you guys are there it'll be great" I say.

Emilio walks over and grabs my hand.

"I don't think I've introduced you guys"I say. "Emilio this is my favorite cousin Jc, Jc this is Emilio. And this is Kian he's one of my best friends"I say.

"It's nice to meet you guys, Elaina talks about you guys a lot, she really loves you guys."Emilio says.

"Eh, they're alright" I say jokingly.

"We have to get going, but Nena if you need anything don't think twice about calling us"Jc says.

I give them their hugs and then they leave. "Hey could I see the picture you took"I say.
