Chapter 1-

Emmett Forrest stood in the middle of the courtroom watching his friend, Elle Woods, getting congratulated for freeing Brooke Wyndam. He loved how she was smiling ear to ear, in that special way of hers that made him smile, just as big. He was interrupted from his daydreams by a fast moving blur of pink and blonde.

"Emmett! Can you believe it?" Elle asked, hugging him. Emmett, wrapped up in the moment, hugged her back and lifted her off her feet.

"Elle, I'm so proud of you. I told you all that studying would pay off." He said, putting her down. In one blissful moment, Emmett felt that tingling in his stomach that he only got when Elle looked at him like she was doing now. Like she loved him. But in the corner of his eye, he saw the man Elle really loved, Warner Huntington III.

"Uh…I think someone needs to talk to you." Emmett said, disappointed. "I'll…I'll see you later." He smiled at Elle and walked away. He knew that he had to forget his feelings for Elle. He knew that probably this second; Warner was on one knee proposing to Elle. But if this was what Elle wanted, then he wanted it for her. As he walked outside, it started to rain.

"Perfect timing," Emmett said to himself. He should just go home, make some popcorn and maybe call his mom to vent. Emmett knew that it was a girly thing to do, but Elle told him that it helped. So, what the hell?

Emmett was just taking his popcorn out of his microwave, when he heard a knock at the door.

"Coming!" he called, dropping the hot bag of popcorn onto his kitchen table and went to answer the door. Standing there, soaking wet, mascara running, and shivering, was Elle.

"Elle? What are you doing here?" Emmett asked, completely in shock.

"My car broke down, and I knew I was only a few blocks away from you, so I was wondering if I could dry off here and maybe call a repair man? I left my cell phone in my dorm room." Elle asked, pleadingly.

"Yeah, yeah. Come it. Let me get you a blanket. There is some popcorn on the counter if you want to help yourself. It should warm you up." Emmett said, letting her in." Elle smiled at him.

"Thank you so much. You are such a good friend." She said. Emmett went into his storage closet and produced a purple blanket.

"I know it's not pink, but it's close." He joked, wrapping it around her shoulders. Elle giggled and looked at the blanket.

"I guess it'll do for now." She joked back. Emmett smiled.

"You can go and sit on the couch, I'll make some hot chocolate." Emmett went into the kitchen to make the hot chocolate, but by the time he came back, Elle was fast asleep on the couch. He smiled, pulled another blanket up on top of her and whispered, very softly in case Elle was still awake…

"I love you…"
