The next week flies by. I spend each day doing fun activities with my friends and every night Jacob and I stargaze. Whenever possible Jacob is hanging out with us. The girls like him. Bell and Beth and always flirting with him, but Jacob doesn't seem to notice. That night we are laying on the grass just talking.

"Jacob?" I ask.

"Yes," he says sitting up.

"I was wondering why you like me. I mean nobody has ever really liked me this way before and I was just wondering well why?" I stutter over my words. I'm not sure if that came out the way I wanted it to, but I wait for his answer.

Finally he says,"You don't give yourself that much credit Emily. You are beautiful, kind, and you are pretty much perfect. Yes you have flaws, everyone does but I love you for them."

"Wait. You love me?" I stutter in shock.

"Yes. Emily Rose. I love you," he says.

"And I love you Jacob Gold," I say.

He kisses me passionately and pushes me back onto the grass. He is now on top of me. We stay like this, kissing for a while. Then he stands up and pulls me up after him. He pulls me in for one last kiss.

"I love you Emily. Goodnight," he says.

Then he turns and walks away. I turn the other way and head for the cabin.
