My Rescuer (an emblem3/Wesley Stromberg fanfic)

Chapter 13

Wesley's POV

I swear,

It's like the world stopped

And it was just me and her.

Yeah, I know it's only been like five days since we've seen each other, but it felt like forever. I never even knew if I'd see her again. And now she's here, in my arms.

And I don't even believe it.

But it's her, and it feels amazing. I feel that part of me that I thought I lost come back. It doesn't even seem real, but it is and I couldn't be happier.

It feels perfect being within each others arms, listening to the waves crash onto the sand. I could stay like this forever. It feels like we've been hugging for an awkwardly long time, but I don't care. I enjoy it. I'm lost in the moment when I hear someone clear their throat.

I look over and see Keaton and Grace's friend standing there, watching us. I completely forgot they were even here. Oops.

"Um hi. Forget about us?" Keaton asks.

Grace and I quickly let go of each other. "Oh ugh sorry," I reply while rubbing the back of my head.

"I guess Keaton and I will just go," Grace's friend says as she attempts to walk away.

"Wait," I say.

"Yeah?"

"I never caught your name"

"Oh, right, it's Emily,"

"Nice to meet you,"

We smile at each other.

"Oh wait Emily. Before you go take this," Grace hands her a key. "It's the key to our house. You can go put your bags and stuff in the house. I'll send you the directions"

"Alright," Emily says, excepting the key right as Keaton grabs her arm and walks away.

"So, Wesley, what do you wanna do?" Grace asks.

"Well first you have to tell me why you're here! Are you on vacation or something?"

"Nope. I actually moved here last night,"

"Really?" I ask.

"Yeah. It's a long story," She replies.

"I've got time," We sit on the beach and she explains everything from the beginning. She actually opens up even more and seems willing to explain her family issues. Before she was kinda shy when it came to the subject, but now I guess she gained the courage to open up more. She explains the details for about an half an hour.

"And that's how I ended up here," she says.

"Well, I'm sorry about your mom, but this is so exciting! We can see each other probably every day now, if you're up for it," I tell her, feeling the smile grow on my face.

She smiles. "I'd totally be up for it," she replies.

I smile back. "So, do you want to go get some food. I'm starving"

"Sure" she replies with a bright smile.

Her smile grows when I hold out my hand for her to take. She bites her lip as she excepts my hand.

Oh my God

Why is that such a turn on?

I can see her blush out of the corner of my eye as I interlock our fingers. We walk hand in hand away from the beach and towards the sidewalk.

Emily's POV

"Oh my God Keaton. They're totally going to start dating," I say as we walk off the sand and onto the sidewalk.
