AN: Hey! So I'm making Bay, Emmett, and Daphne seniors because they went to prom. Sorry for any confusion. I had them as juniors on the last chapter, but then I changed it. It should be fixed. Anyhoo, what did I tell you? I updated faster than the last one! I honestly would have updated last night, but I was busy screaming Drake songs at the top of my lungs at his concert and now I can't hear or speak. Totally worth it.

Anyway, Thanks for the positive reviews! Continue reviewing, I love feedback (: Enjoy!


Chapter 4:

Bay's POV

This school day couldn't have gone by any slower. Being a senior, I just want to get out of here. I'm really excited for tonight, though. Emmett said he has a surprise for me for our anniversary. He's not giving my present tonight, he said, that will be on my birthday. I have no idea what he has planned tonight. I know it's going to be good, it's Emmett. I am giving him his present tonight. It's not much, but I made him a painting with a bunch of pictures of us together on it. I think it turned out pretty well. I hope he likes it.

Finally the last bell rang and I ran outside to meet Emmett. When I saw him, I jumped into his arms. He spun me around once and set me down, only to pull me in for a quick, gentle, but full of love, kiss.

"You ready?" He asked referring to the surprise he has in store for me.

"Sure, where are we going?"

"You'll find out. Now turn around."

"Okay, whatever you say." I turned around only to have a blind fold on my eyes again. I smiled at the memory of when I first had this on. He slowly led me to his bike and helped me on. It's scary being on a motorcycle when you can't see. I clung to Emmett like my life depended on it. When we finally stopped, he took off my blind fold. To my confusion, we were at my house, on my driveway near the guest house.

Emmett laughed at my confused expression. He explained, "This is where I first saw you. You were this exotic, gorgeous girl leaning against your brother's car. I had no idea who you were, but I wanted to know."

The next stop we went to Buckner, where we had our first kiss.

We went to the park, where it was out first "date".

We went to the billboard.

We went to the Carlton parking lot.

We went to his bedroom… (Wink)

We went to all of the places that were important to us. Each of them had a story, a laugh to share.

When we were finished, I turned to him and said, "That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you so much." He smiled and answered, "You're welcome" and leaned over to kiss me sweetly on the temple.

"Alright, back to my house. I have your present in my garage."

"You got me a present?" He asked, a little bit surprised.

"Well, more like made you a present." I said with a wink. He laughed and handed me my helmet, my new one, and we headed off to my house. When we arrived, I led him to my studio with my hands over his eyes. I let go to reveal the painting I made him. He smiled widely when he saw it. "I love it. Thanks so much." "You are very welcome" I said and he leaned down to place his lips on mine. We became lost in the kiss and it slowly evolved into me sitting on his lap on the chair. My fingers ran through his hair and explored down his neck, shoulders, chest, all the way down to the hem of his shirt. They explored back up to his hair while his lips traveled down my neck to my shoulders and back up to my lips. He pulled away and kissed my nose. I buried my face into his neck and we just stayed like that for a while, sitting in silence.


Daphne's POV

I loved this feeling of being in love. The overwhelming feeling of happiness and bliss. When in this state of mind, you feel as if nothing can bring you down, you're on top of the world. All you want to do is be with this person and hold them close. I can't wish for anything better. This is what I feel about Nate. I never had this kind of love with Wilke. I thought I did, but I guess I was wrong. He is coming for a visit today and I can't wait to see him. It's been so long. That's a downside to long-distance relationships. Sure you can video chat, but you don't get to be with them, or be in their arms. It sucks, but you pull through. Nate is amazing. He's learning sign for me, he texts me constantly. My phone buzzed (how ironic). I smiled when I saw it was him.

Be there soon. Can't wait to see my gorgeous girl (:

Yay! I can't wait to see you too. I've missed you.

I've missed you too. I have a surprise for you when I get there.

Ooh, a surprise? What is it?

I can't tell you! Hints why it's called a surprise.

Oh come on, not even a hint? ;)

Ok fine. It's something I have to tell you. That's all you get.

I hope it's something GOOD you have to tell me.

It is. Well, I hope you think it is.

Okay, can't wait.

You don't have to wait much longer ;)

I read that last text then suddenly someone was covering my eyes. I turned immediately around and it was him.

"Nate!" I exclaimed then jumped into his arms. He spun me around and kissed me for a long time.

"Hey there. It's good to see you too." He signed to me.

"Your signing has gotten so good! Oh! What's your news?"

"Alright fine I'll tell you. " He took a deep breath and said, "I'm transferring here for college at the end of the semester."

"REALLY!"

"Yes, glad you're excited!"

"Are you kidding? I'm beyond excited. I get to see you all the time!"

"That was my plan. Whenever we're apart I miss you so much. I hate the feeling. So, I'm moving here."

"This is so great" and I hugged him tight. Just then, Bay and Emmett came out of her studio. Emmett's hair was a little disheveled. I smiled and thought to myself, looks like they were having some fun."Hey guys!" Emmett waved in greeting; his arm was around Bay's waist.

"Hey!" Bay said, "We, I mean I, heard some talking outside and I was right! Nate has arrived."

Emmett replied, "Of course you were right, you tend to do that" with a wink at Bay. She smiled and playfully elbowed him.

"Should we tell them?" I asked Nate. He nodded.

"Should you tell us what?" Bay asked curiously.

"Nate's transferring here for college at the end of the semester."

"That's great! I'm so happy for you guys" Emmett replied.

Bay said, "That's so cute. Congratulations!" She came over to hug me while Emmett shook Nate's hand.

"Oh, I forgot! How's your anniversary going?" I asked Bay and Emmett.

Bay replied, "Really well. He took me to all of the places that were important to us and then we came back here and I gave him his present: a painting with a bunch of pictures of us together."

"Good. I'm glad it's going so well."

"Us too. We still can't believe we made it a year." Emmett replied.

Bay laughed, "Yeah, it wasn't easy, but being without Emmett isn't necessarily a fun thing."

"No it's not. It's a hard thing to do." Emmett replied sarcastically.

"Ha ha, very funny" Bay said with an eye roll, but then proceeded to give him a quick kiss on the lips.

"I'm guessing one year anniversary?" Nate asked.

They both nodded and smiled. "Well, I better get on my way" Emmett said. "Happy anniversary, sweetheart" he said to Bay and swept her up in a hug and set her down to kiss her sweetly.

I watched with a smile, hoping that one day Nate and I would have a one year anniversary and be that happy. I swear with everything that went on between them, they are the happiest couple I think I've ever seen. That is serious true love. Nate and I went into the guest house to tell my mom the good news. She was so happy that I was so happy. That's only one of the great traits that my mom has.

My phone buzzed. It was Emmett.

Don't tell Bay, but I got her a promise ring for our anniversary/her birthday.

I gasped and sent my reply. You did? What does it look like?

Well her birth stone is in the middle of 2 small diamonds on a silver band.

Sounds pretty! She's going to love it.

I hope so.


Bay's POV

I woke up with the light shining in my eyes. My mom poked her head through the door. "Are you awake?" she asked. "I am now." I said back. "Good! Happy birthday sweetie! I brought you some breakfast in bed."

"Thanks, mom" I said. It was my favorite pancakes, as usual. Not that I was complaining.

Of course, after I was finished, I got up and got ready for school. Thank God it was a Friday. I went downstairs to find Daphne there. Nate was there as well. "Happy Birthday!" We said simultaneously, and then laughed. "Here" she said and handed me a present. "Thanks so much! Here, let me go get yours" and I ran upstairs to go get it. I got her a cute little bracelet and necklace combo that I found at this cute little boutique. When I returned downstairs I handed her the gift. I opened mine. It was a gift certificate to my favorite art store. Again at the same time we said, "Wow, thanks!" I went over to hug her. After Toby and my dad came down to wish us happy birthday, Emmett showed up. "I just wanted to come in and say Happy Birthday to my two favorite girls" He said with a smile. First, he went over and hugged Daphne and then came over to hug me. He whispered in my ear, "I'll give you a proper happy birthday later" and gave me a wink. I couldn't stop smiling after that. He always is able to make me feel special.

We all headed on our normal morning routines. When Emmett and I arrived at school, he said, "Here's your proper 'Happy Birthday'" and then closed the space between us, took the sides of my face in his hands, and his lips crashed onto mine. He released my lips and said, "There would be much more if we weren't in a school parking lot." I couldn't help but start laughing. "I'll see you after school. Are you going home after you drop me off or are you staying until the party?"

"I'm going home. You and Daphne's presents are there."

I nodded, "Okay, bye. I love you"

"I love you and Happy Birthday."

I smiled and walked towards my class. I looked over my shoulder and waved to him as he drove away on his motorcycle. I am so lucky. Most people that have been in this situation wouldn't be able to say this, but I can. Honestly, yes, I was hurt and I felt betrayed, but I know he felt worse than I did. That's why I took him back. He's not perfect, but who is? He loves me more than life itself and I feel the exact same way.


Emmett's POV

After I dropped Bay off at her house, I immediately went home to get ready for the party. I wanted to get there early to give Bay her present privately before the actual party started. I'm a little nervous. I really hope she likes the ring. She's the only girl I want and she needs to know this. As for Daphne, I made her a scrapbook with a bunch of pictures in it of us or anything that means something to us. There are some really funny pictures in there.

My mom and I drove separately to the party because I went early. My mom got Bay a present too. It's a dress that she found at this little store on Main Street. I arrived at the Kennish mansion and Bay was outside on the patio setting up. She waved with a half confused, half happy to see me, look. She excused herself from her family and came over to greet me. "Hey! You're early, what's up?"
"I wanted to give you your present privately before the party. Let me go drop this off then we can go somewhere, okay?" I asked. She nodded her head in agreement and waited as I handed my present for Daphne to Kathryn. I headed back over to Bay and we went to her backyard. We sat down on a little stone bench and I pulled the ring out of my pocket.


Bay's POV

When Emmett pulled the ring out of his pocket I nearly cried. He opened the box and in sat a gorgeous ring with my birthstone and two small diamonds on either side. It had a silver band.

"It's a promise ring" He said to me. "It's not only a promise that I'll stay with you, it's a promise that I'll love you and I will always be faithful to you no matter what."
At this point I was crying. He slid the ring onto my finger and I kissed him long and hard, to say thank you. We pulled apart and he wiped a tear from my face.

"I love it. Thank you so much."

"Glad you do. I just wanted to show how much you mean to me."

"I think you succeeded" I said with a laugh. He smiled a cheeky grin and kissed the side of my forehead.

We walked back to the patio hand in hand and more people had arrived.

"Hey! Where did you guys go?" My mom asked.

"Emmett gave me my present early" I said and I showed her my hand.

"Wow! That is so pretty! Wait, I hope it's not an engagement ring."

Emmett and I both laughed. I answered, "No, it's not don't worry. It's a promise ring."

"That is so sweet. I'm really happy for you guys"

I saw Daphne give a wink to Emmett which made me think that she already knew. Fine by me because I already know what Nate is giving her. It's a really pretty charm bracelet with charms of things important to them. It was really thoughtful.

The party went by smoothly. I got a beautiful dress from Melody, a bracelet from Regina, and a necklace and tickets to my favorite band from my parents. It was such a good birthday.

When it ended, a strangely familiar truck pulled into the driveway. A tall, broad figure with black hair stepped out of the car. It can't be... I thought to myself. However, sure enough he walked over here. "Ty?"


AN: Yay cliffhangers! I'll get started on the next chapter very soon. I hate waiting for the next thing to happen after cliffhangers so I won't make you suffer. Hope you enjoyed!
