After the box has been destroyed I began to cry, tear of happiness. I lean into Samuel's chest, crying into him. Jess rejoices and the three of us get into a group hug.
As we make our way back up to the house I hear someone say:
We will come back for you Cassiopeia Wonsworth.
Once we are upstairs, mum tells me that the three of us are needed in the living room. There is one boy who I know but can't remember, and Auntie Mattie. Mum leads me and Samuel into the other room.
"So...how do I explain this" mum says, talking to herself more than us. "ummmmm, you are both en... ga ... ged to eachother." my mouth instantly opens up and I look up at Samuel. He's looking at mum.
"WHAT!!?" we hear from the other room. I mutter Jess. I turn back to mum and give her a look that says tell me that this is April fools. Mum shakes her head.
"okay" Samuel says. I nod and head back to the living room where Jess is crying.
"under no circumstances will I marry him!" Jess yells. I sit down beside her and cradle her. Then I recognise him. They were together like, two years ago.
"Ritchie can you please get some water" I ask sweetly, knowing that he would rather stay there and take pleasure in jess's sadness. He heads back into the kitchen. He comes back and I nod at him, tipping the water in Jess's mouth, she holds onto me and I think of all that she had been through this month. Once Jess calms down we all have dinner.
After dinner Mum tells us by hat we have to share rooms in order to bond I don't mind this but I hope that my room isn't next to Jess's as I really want to be able to go to sleep. The four of us head to our rooms and I go to sleep.
