the tree (Emerson(

Based off a short poem I wrote.

I was at the park sitting up against the old maple tree that was planted my the swing sets. Kids rs n aroinf and enjoyed their innocent lives. Couples walking around hand in hand. Dog walkers walk trails. Here I am. Sketching.

Its a ship. A pirate ship in fact. It's quite detailed. I've been working on it since last month. I started working on the water when i noticed someone sit beside me. He had on Lal and white striped shirt with black pants and a berret. He had a briefcase with him. He opened it up and pulled out a sketchbook and pencils and sharpies.

I looked at what he was drawing. I wasent quit e sure what it was. It looked like he had taken a newspaper and put designs on it. He must have noticed  I was looking. He turned his head and smiled at me. "Im sorry. I was just intrigued by your work. I'm y/n" I said. "It's fine, im glad you like it. I'm not quit e sure what im doing with it. I'm Emerson" we talked for awhile until it started getting late

We said our goodbyes until he stopped me. "Could I get your number" he asked "yeah sure." We traded numbers and headed our separate ways.

It's been a few months. Emerson and i still meet at the tree in the park every other day. I was on my way to the park when i got a text from Emerson

Emmy: this sounds out of the random but would you like to go on a date with me.

You: I would love too! What time and place?

Emmy: 8:30 at the park by the tree?

You: sounds fantastic!

Emmy: ok,see you then Cherie.

I left it at that. Cherie must be French since i don't know what it means and hes always told me he speaks French. I headed back home. It was only 330 I have plenty of time.

As it drew closer to 830 i began getting ready. It gets cold at night so i just threw on a red long sleeve,black leggings,and red converse. (Literally the only shoes i wear)

I headed to the park. The first star appeared. I made a wish as I always did when i was little. I saw Emerson standing by the tree. He saw me and ran up to me. He hugged me. I coul dnt help but blush. He took my hand and led me to the tree. "I know it's cliche but I thought we could star gaze." He smiled. "It sounds perfect em."

I laid with my back on the tree. It was uncomfortable as my shirt was quit e thin. I scooted closer to Emerson. I rested my head on his shoulder. I looked at his eyes. The where so pretty. Green with a little hint of brown. Kinda like a forest. He reached for my hand holding it. I smiled and blushed. It's already the best night ever.

We decided to leave. We hugged and stood there awkwardly. He leaned in. I followed and his lips met mine. It felt magical. Everything about it. We broke apart. He kissed my cheek. "See you later cherie" he once again said. I still wonder what that means.

After a few weeks since then I found out about something i didn't want to know about. Apparently em ersons had a girlfriend this entire time! Sebastian told me after I went over to their house a few days ago. I've been mad ever since. I told Emerson to meet me at the tree.

He got here and he saw my face and immeaditly knew. "What's wrong y/n?" He asked oblivious. "Oh nothing. Just the fact that you didn't mention the fact you had a girlfriend and still asked me out and kissed me!" I basically screamed. It was a weekday so everyone was at work and school. "Who told you that!" "Your brother" "He Do sent know whsr hes talking about. I broke up with Haley a week before I met you. (Just because i don't want to use shys name) "them how come this is on instagram!" I pulled holds up a picture of him and Haley. He knew there was no getting out of this now.

"Look,I love you Emerson but I don't wsnt to be a second choice. Make up your mind. Her or me." I didn't give him s chance to answer before I walked back. I loved him. But im not playing this game.

It's been a month snd I haven't heard a thing from him. I miss him. I miss talking to him. A knock came from my door. I opened my door to see Emerson. "Have you made a decision" I asked "Yes. And its you" he said. "Y/n,I love yoy with all my life and I only want you. This past year has been amazing with you. And i want it to be forever." He took me to the park to the tree.

He got on one knee and proposed. He didn't sat anything. I just  nodd my head yes.

Now here we are. Seven years into the future. At the tree. Our five year old Sophia and two month old Darren. We just stand here. Looking at the place memories were made. "Mommy why are we here?" Sophia asks. "This place us very special to daddy and I." I answer simply. She nodded. Little dose she and Darren know. This place is the reason were a family in the first place. 

Here's the original poem i write that this is based off of.

We stand by the tree

The tree we met at

The tree we always talked at

The tree our first date happened at

The tree our first kissed happened at

The tree our first argument happened at

The tree you proposed at

The tree our wedding took place at

We look at each other,smiling

Now we stand here. Two now four

Little do they now. The events that happened here

At the tree
