You guys ready for the last chapter? I don't think you can handle it! But here it is...
My mouth fell open in shock. I stared at everyone's commotion and looked down at the note in my hands. I looked up at Eli and he looked... relieved oddly and he turned and looked at me. I looked back down at the note in my hands and opened it.
It read...
"Clare, last chance... Will you marry me?" At the bottom it had a check box. Check yes or no. Just like a little kids love letter. I looked up at Eli whom was still staring at me. The crowds commotion had died down and focused on Eli. I stepped up to Eli. I looked around the crowd. I grabbed a pen that sat on the table across from the platform we stood on. I stepped back in front on Eli. The crowd was dead silent as I checked off the box in the note.
I handed the paper back to Eli. He smiled as he read that I had checked 'yes'. He grabbed my hand and knelt down on one knee. The crowd gasped but had quickly quieted.
"Clare Edwards... I have been waiting 5 years to ask you this. But will you do the honor of marrying me?" I smiled and shook my head yes. He slipped the ring on my hand and got up to hug me. Everyone in the crown clapped. By this time, Becky's parents had slipped out and ran off to call Becky. As he hugged me he leaned and whispered in my ear... "I love you. Forever and Always." I leaned back and whispered in his as well... "Guess what? I love you more!"
