Ivy:POV

I sit on the couch, feeling bored out of my mind. If I had money, then I would be at the mall right now. It seems like the days are on replay, and everyone's life is coming together, except for mine. The days are short, and days go by in what seem like minutes, and I have no job. Soon enough, I'm going to run out of my savings, and I don't even want to think of what'll happen then. I just wish that I lived somewhere remotely exciting, like London, or California, I'm quite flexible on places to live, just not here.

I hear a knock on the door, and I spring up like a rabbit. I answer the door quickly, and sigh when I see that it's only Emmett. "Hello, Ivy." He says with a smile on his face.

"Hi, Emmett." I say, and take a step outside. "So, what do you need?" I ask, and he scratches the back of his neck.

"I was uh, wondering if you wanted to get some dinner? My treat." He offers, and I sigh, trying to think of a nice way to tell him no. "Just as friends, of course." Emmett reassures me. 

On one hand, it would be nice to get out of the house, but on the other hand, I don't really know if Emmett has changed for the better. I know that he seems really kind now, but it may be an act, and nothing more.

"Sure." I say, and he smiles.

"Great!" He says, and leads me to his car.

"Where are we going to eat?" I ask, and he starts his car.

"I was thinking, Bob Evans?" Emmett suggests, and I lean back in the leather seat.

"That sounds good. This car is really nice, how were you able to afford it?" I ask, and he shrugs.

"My parents bought it for me. Before that bought me my apartment, they thought that if they got me a car, I would get out of the house more." He explains, and I frown.

"Oh." I mumble. How awful can a parent be, to want their kids to be nowhere near them. A tear slips from my eye, when I realize that's exactly what my parents did to me. I look over at Emmett, and realize that we have more in common that I thought.

Teddy:POV

"I'm so glad that your parents forgave me!" Spencer says cheerfully, and I hold his arm.

"Me too. I honestly didn't think that you would get their approval that quickly." I say, and we walk out of the motel building.

"Me neither. What do you think changed their minds?" He asks, and I look down.

"Chances are, Mom eavesdropped on our conversation while we were walking away." I say, and Spencer nods his head.

"Probably."

"So, what do you want to do now?" I ask, and Spencer smiles. 

"I have something in mind." He says, and gets down on one knee. I feel my heart stop, and I put a hand over my mouth. Is he really doing what I think he's doing?

"Teddy, ever since I first met you, I knew that I wanted to be with you. No matter much I tried to move on, you would always prevent me from doing just that. Teddy, I love you so much, and I always will. I still can't believe that you forgave me, so why wait? I know we only got back together this week, but I promise, I will never leave you again. You are the light of my life, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I don't even want to imagine what my life would be like without you. I know that the parking lot of a motel is not the most romantic place in the world, but I just can't wait any longer, believe me, I've tried. This past year has been the roughest year of my life, but you make me calm. So, Teddy Duncan, will you do me the honer of making me your husband?" Spencer asks, and a tear slip from my eye.

"What do you think?" I ask, and his face light up. He stands up from the ground, and presses his lips to mine.

All of the drama, heart break, and betrayal, is all worth it, for this moment right now. I've been put through the highest highs, and the lowest lows, and I finally know why. It's funny how things can seem so awful, then the next it's a miracle. I remember when that hurricane first hit, and I felt my world falling down, literally. I lost my family, my home, and got engaged to a man I knew nothing about, and I wouldn't take any of it back. Things always have a way of working themselves out in the end, and this is the proof that I've been waiting for.

I'm finally getting my happy ending.
