(Lilah's POV)

Weeks went by, we were all pretty normal. Nothing special happened. Today we had practice our last act for the play and we had our play in a few days. And we are currently in our drama class. We are practicing the last bits of the play.
Dylan started,”And I'll be sworn upon that he loves her; for here's a paper written in his hand, a halting sonnet of his own pure brain, Fashion’d to Beatrice.”
Stella enacted taking out a piece of paper, “And here's another Writ in my cousin's hand, stolen from her pocket, containing her affection unto Benedick.”
Xavier said, “A miracle! Here’s our own hand against our hearts. Come, I will have thee; but, by this light, I take thee for pity.”
I said, “I would not deny you; but, by this good day, I yield upon great persuasion; and partly to save your life, for I was told you were in a consumption.”
Xavier acted, “Peace! I will stop your mouth.”
And he came closer to me. We were so close his hands on my waist and I thought we were going to kiss. We have grown together as friends to much and now I couldn’t deny that I actually felt something for him. Whenever I saw him I felt the need to be closer to him wanting to kiss him and embrace him in my arms.
Suddenly, the bell rang bringing me out of my trance and I realized what was gonna happen. I quickly pushed him and took my bag and ran out with Stella hot on my heels leaving the boys in confusion.
I reached my car and turned to Stella and hugged her tightly, “Stel, what is happening? I can’t let this happen I should know this is not right. I- how- why.”I started ranting.
“Shhhh Lily calm down. It’s okay. You can feel good and it’s okay to feel happy with him. He really does care about you. Give yourself some time. Its okay.” she helped me to calm  down and then we were off to home.
When I reached home I found Ash pacing around the room. He had planned to ask Julie finally and I was really happy for him.
“Thank god, you both are here. I need your help listen to me. I have planned everything. Julie loves nature and music. So I’m taking her to the beach area and I need you to help me with decorating and preparing the area. I have to practice my song.” he paced around and kept making hand gestures.
“okaaayyy Ash hushhh!!”Stella said
“Listen we’ll have that all taken care of and the boys will help us too. You just get ready, get your guitar and get Julie there.”
“Thanks a lot Thanks so much” he hugged us and shrieked in a high girly voice.
I knew he needed an outfit so I got up and we selected an outfit for Ashton and kept his guitar out. I loved how he was making so much effort for her and he respected her so much. Ash has always been great at playing Guitar.

Then we left to the location and the boys got there too we got some Fairy lights, blankets and food etc. and arranged all the seating. Everything was so dreamy and I found myself wishing to have something like that for us. We quickly got a little far away to a little hideout.

Dylan pulled Stella to his side and I am sure something is going on with them so I was left with Xavier pushed to his side.
“Why did you run away?”He whispered into my ear. I turned and saw he looked kinda hurt.
“Umm.. I- I had to get to Ash.”I made an excuse trying to keep my guard up.
“ya sure.” he said not believing
“Everything is so beautiful.”I tried to change the conversation.
“Vous ne savez pas ce que ces moments sont pour moi.” He said looking straight into my eyes.(You don’t know what these moments are to me)
“What was that and what language?” I asked looking at him questioningly.
“French.” He said nonchalantly.
“What does that mean.”
“You’ll know.” he teased.
“heyy noo that’s unfair tell me pleaseeee. And how d you even know French?” I whined
“well I learned in middle school. Plus I lived there for a while.” wow I never knew this about him I wondered staring at him.
I heard guitar playing and turned towards Ash I saw him playing the guitar and I signaled Stella to get the banner out. We had prepared a banner where we wrote, “Would you be my girlfriend?”It was all Ash’s plan and I felt so proud.
We quickly rushed out. We saw Julie looking at Ash with awe as he sang one of her favorite songs “I like me better.” And as the song finished, we got out she stared at the banner and started tearing up, Ash quickly came by her side and she jumped at him screaming a yes and then they kissed.
I found Dylan kissing Stella’s cheek and I saw her blushing and gave her a look. She just shrugged and I was feeling out of place with all the sappy romance around me. Then Xav pulled me by my arm and said,” Come on.”
“Where?”
“Let them be and Dyl has something to talk to Stella so come with me.”
I nodded and let him pull me alongside him. He took me to a little creek cave that I’ve never seen but the view from there was amazing as the sun was setting down. We sat down side by side and admired the view.
“How have you been?”Xav asked.
“That’s very random Xav, you see me every day. I’m great.”I said
“No, Genuinely. We haven’t talked properly since I got back you always have this guard up with everyone.” He said and I looked at him in shock

Hi tweedlers
So we really really really wanted to do something with the AJ couple. Honestly they are one of our favorites. Give us some shipname ideas also.
Also this idea was a result of us listening to the song which Ash sung.
I love this song personally.
Hope you love them as much as we do.
Stay Happy
Until next time tweedlers
