*emily's point of view*
It's nearly midnight. Soda still isn't here. He stood me up. Again.
"Two-bit. It hurts." He's my brother.
"I know but he'll be here." I bite my lip.
I don't know how many times Sodapop has stood me up. We've been together for three years and 2 months. At first it was wonderful but once we reached a 2 and a half years he started to stand me up. He always has a reason though.
"I hope so." I sit on the front steps of the porch.
A few minutes later headlights shine bright in my eyes. Soda has finally arrived. 10 minutes till midnight.
"You have some explaining to do, mr." I storm over to his truck.
He left me waiting for four hours! Four freaking hours! That jerk!
"I-I-" he stutters but doesn't say anything else.
"I have been waiting here since 8! The time you told me you would be here!"
"Emma. I'm so sorry!" He apologizes. That won't fix anything.
"Don't apologize if you don't mean it! For 8 months you have been standing me up! I don't even know how many times you've been late or never even shown up! Yet I still stayed with you because I love you! I thought you did, too. I'm starting to think you don't love me anymore." His eyes shine with regret.
"Emma. I didn't know you felt that way. I love you, more than anything. I'm so sorry." I glare at him.
"You better be sorry." I growl lowly. "Four hours! With two-bit saying lame jokes to keep my mind occupied! I can't believe you sometimes!"
"Emily. Please. Let me explain."
"Why would I do that? You've hurt me, a lot."
His face falls. He looks truly broken. Seeing him like that makes me want to run up to him and hug him. I just want to apologize for all I've done, even though I did nothing wrong.
"Emma. I think you should let him explain himself."
"Two-bit he-"
"I know but let him explain himself. I think you'll like what he has to say."
I bite my lip and look at Soda. His eyes are shining with regret and sorrow. I decide to give him a chance.
"Emily-" he doesn't get a chance to explain himself.
I run up to him and press my lips against his. He looked too adorable like that, I just had to kiss him.
"What a great explanation." Two-bit chuckles and walks into the house.
"I'm sorry." We both say at the same time.
"What? Why are you sorry?" He asks.
"You looked so sad. I felt so guilty. I'm sorry for making you sad."
"What? No! You have no reason to apologize. You will never apologize. Ever. I love you Emma. I'm sorry, for everything. The reason I've been late and busy is because I've been planning something but I think it's needed more now than later."
"What are you talking about?"
He answers by getting down one knee. I gasp in shock. He's proposing.
"I love you so much Emily Lynn (idk your middle name soo.. I'm using mine) Matthews, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes! Yes! A million times yes!" I squeal as he slides the gorgeous ring on my finger.
I pull him up to me and hug the living day lights out of him.
"I love it. It's beautiful." I wipe my tears of joy. "Gosh. I'm crying."
Sodapop chuckles at me and with a huge smile he kisses me.
"I've been planning my proposal for months..." He says when he's done kissing me. "That's why I'm always late, I've been planning everything. I finally finished today.." He trails off.
"Well, are you going to take me to the location?" He smiles and opens the door for me to enter.
"Let's go."****
Late, sorry buuut. I've been busy, party planning (sweet 16 five days... I think. Today is Thursday, it's next Tuesday...) anyways! Love you SOOO much!
S.E. Hinton replied to my tweet! Again. The feels! Oh my gosh. That is twice now.
Anyways I love you all!
Stay gold!
