I was walking towards Emma's room to ask her the question. I've already got Regina and Zoie, Emma shouldn't be hat hard. I walked in expecting her to be sound asleep. I had it all planed out in my head. I would gently wake her up, hand her another rose cause she seemed to like that, and then pop the question. But instead I found her on the floor with her oxygen tank knocked over. I started to panic. I ran over and helped her back up on her bed. I fixed the oxygen tank and got it back it back on her. I had seen my mom do this plenty of times since she was a nurse. Just as I thought that, she walked in.

"Mom help her! I got the mask back on but it's not helping!" I yelled. To be honest i didn't really care what was gonna happen to Emma. I still got myself a date with two other girls. "What was that Zach?" My mom asked. "Oh nothing" I quickly said. She pressed a button on the wall next to Emma's bed and immediately doctors started rushing in. They checked Emma's pulse and luckily she still did have one. Then they messed with Emma's oxygen tank until it finally started up again. I acted like I really cared about Emma so I ran over and held her hand. She started coughing and the doctors got her to sit up. Once she got back to breathing normally and the doctors were gone she looked at me and smiled. "Hi *cough cough* Zach" she said. "Hi Emma are you feeling better?" I asked. She gave me a smile and a thumbs up. Then she let out a little giggle. "I have something for you" I said and handed her the rose. She had a huge smile across her face as she took a big whiff of the rose. "What's this for?" She's asked. I laughed. "Well it's my way of asking you on a date" I said. Once she realized what I was asking her eyes got really wide. She stared at me with a cute look on her face. "So?" I asked. "Oh my gosh Zach I would love to!" She said and pulled me into a hug. I rolled my eyes but she didn't see. "Great how about tomorrow at 7 I'll come right back here and we can go have dinner in the cafeteria" I said. She smiled and nodded. "Great" I gave her a little peck on the forehead and walked out of the room. Now all I have left is Zoie. I meet Regina at 4:15 tomorrow, Emma at 7:00, and so I can do Zoie at 8:30 for a late night walk through the park. Wow wouldn't it be something if they knew each other. But what are the odds of that? I laughed and went towards my moms office. Being a cheater had it's perks.
