thanks y'all for reading "Him" & getting it 700+ reads, it means a lot💕👋
here's the story!
♡Emma's p.o.v. ♡
*|Moving day, About 4 years ago|*
"emma, are you packed?" Jack asks me from the living room.
"yeah, i just need to pack up...his room." i tell him.
this is it, the first time anyone has gone in Taylor's room in about 6 months.
i slowly creak open the door, bringing in boxes. we've decided to sell his furniture, but keep all the clothes & sheets & other stuff.
i let out a deep breath & walked further into the room. i unfold the boxes & start to go through Taylor's drawers.
shirts, pants, undergarments, socks & the last drawer, his bandanas. when i opened that draw, i felt tears pour over my eyes.
"ugh." i say, wiping the tears away, putting the bandanas in the box, with all the clothes. i shut the, now full, box of clothes & label it "Taylor's".
i move on to his other things, packing sheets, pillows, & everything else were keeping. I'm about done, when i open a drawer in his nightstand.
there, i find a picture. it's me & Taylor when we were 6, at the little lot behind my house. we were playing in the mud. i was covered & Taylor was too. we were both smiling like fools & i see Jack, Jack, Cameron & Audrey in the background. me & Taylor are in the front. we were always together. i smile with tears flowing down my face & take the picture frame to my room.
i enter Taylor's room & finish packing. once I'm done, i call for Jack.
"babe, could you help me with these boxes please?" i hear him walking towards the room, not 5 seconds after i ask for help.
his walking stops & i turn around. he's standing at the door, not wanting to come in.
"come on, Jack. it's fine." i assure him & he nods, walking into the room.
we each carry a box downstairs & Cameron walks into Taylor's room.
♡Cameron's p.o.v.♡
i walk past emma & Jack into Taylor's room. i haven't been in here for months.
as soon as i walk in, i freeze.
"wow..." i trail off. it's so empty in here. i walk over to Taylor's desk, where me & him would sit & do homework, after school.
i open our secret keepsake & find a letter, labeled "Emma Nicole Dallas" & memories flood my mind.
*|Freshman Year|* {Before everyone moved away/left} {Flashback inside a flashback}
"hey Taylor" i say walking in
"hey Cam."
"what homework do you have?" i ask him.
"math. that's all." he responds & i nod.
we sit down & begin to work.
we work for about 30 minutes & we both finish.
"i need to write something." Taylor speaks up.
"uh, okay. what are you writing?" i ask.
"a letter to emma." he says, as if it's obvious.
i don't see what he writes tho. he doesn't seal it, but he closes it.
"I'm going to give this to her on her wedding day." he says, while labeling the letter.
he puts it in our keepsake & puts everything away.
*|FlashbackOver|*
STILL FOUR YEARS AGO. {Sorry if it's confusing}
i pull out the letter & open it.
tears start to flow as i read.
"oh my god..." i whisper to myself, closing the letter & taking it to my room.
*|PRESENT DAY|*
♡Jack G's p.o.v.♡
"let's go babe!" i call for Emma.
"I'm going! don't rush me!" she yells back.
"sorry!" i yell back with some attitude.
she comes down stairs & my jaw drops.
she's wearing a beautiful knee length, strapless, navy blue dress & nude heels. her hair was straight down & her make up was flawless.
"Baby...y-you look..." i trailed off
"amazing." Nash finished for me, i looked over to him & emma giggled.
"let's go." i say, grabbing her hand, leading her to my Mercedes.
"where are we going?" she asks, 20 minutes into the drive.
"it's a surprise, princess." i reply with a smirk & she groans.
after about 5 more minutes, i stop the car & put a blindfold on her & continue driving.
"Jack! take this off me!" she whines
"nope. it's a surprise." i reply. she groans & i chuckle.
we finally arrive at a little beach, we made this our new spot, since the last one had so many memories.
"I'm gonna lead you down there." i lie, Johnson's gonna lead her down. he's been here, setting up this beautiful spot.
i walk down to my spot, as Jack & Emma follow behind.
we get to the little decorated area. Jack did amazing. it's candlelit, flowers everywhere, it looks beautiful. we also have a photographer here with us, to take photos.
i get in my place & Jack makes her stop right in front of me. i mouth for him to leave & he does.
"okay, emma. you can look now." she removes her blindfold & has to look down at me, considering im on one knee. i hear JJ start to record, so we can show everyone. they all know about this, we've been planning for months.
"jack..." she tears up.
"Emma Nicole Dallas, you make me so happy & i love you so much. you mean everything to me & we've been through so much together. you were there for me when i needed you & i was there for you. i am so in love with you & i fall more & more in love with you every time you, say my name, look into my eyes, laugh, do anything. Emma, i love you. will you make me the happiest man on earth & marry me?"
