****CHAPTER 13****
**ELENA'S PERSPECTIVE**
I ran down stairs to greet the girls at
the breakfast table. I ran over to Gina and
gave her a huge hug. "Happy Birthday!" She
smiled and hugged me back. "Thank you." I
smiled at her. "So now you can legally
drink." She giggled. I hugged her again.
"Sorry I can't hang out with you girls, but I
promised Brian I would fly into Lexington to
meet his family. I wouldn't be leaving so
early but he wants me to help him pack." She
shook her head. "Oh, I don't care about
that." I picked up my luggage and said
goodbye to the rest of the girls. I put my
things in the trunk and drove off. When I got
to his house the door was unlocked. He told
me before to just go right in if it is ever
unlocked. I stepped
inside but couldn't find him anywhere. I
walked towards outback, guessing that maybe
he was letting Tyke out or something. When I
stepped outback I saw, to my suprise, him
kissing a blonde woman. I stood there for
second, trying to understand if it was real
or not. A tear fell from my
eye. They pulled apart and saw me. I ran
through the house to my car, crying.
I drove around for about an hour, trying
to think of a logical explaination. Soon, I
found myself back at Brian's house. I slowly
walked to the door. This time I knocked. He
quickly opened the door. "Elena. Oh thank God
you came back." He let me in. I looked
around, guessing the woman had left. I turned
to
face him. "Who is she?" He sighed. "I'm
sorry you had to see that." I continued to
stare at him. "Who is
she?" He lead me to the couch and we both sat
down. "My ex-girlfriend. Her name is
Beth." My expression on my face didn't
change. "And you were kissing her because?"
He sighed again. "She wants me back." I could
feel myself ready to explode with tears, but
I contained myself. "Do you want her back?"
He shook his head. "No, well, I don't know. I
really loved her and I still care about her,
but I care about you too."
I stood up. He stopped me. "Where are you
going? Are you still gonna go to Kentucky
with me?" I shook my head. "I'm not going
anywhere with you now. When you know what
you want, call me. I'm not gonna sit around
here and wait to get my heart broken." I
quickly walked out the door.
**BRIAN'S PERSPECTIVE**
What have I done? I totally screwed up
everything? I looked at the clock. I still
had a half hour before my plane flight. I
layed down on the couch and closed my eyes.
Just then the door bell rang. I ran over to
open the door. AJ stood there. "Hey what's up
with Elena? She just left here all pissy and
stuff." I sighed and let him in. "Beth
is in town and wants me back. Elena saw us
kissing outback." He raised his eyebrow. "Say
what?" I smacked my forehead. "I am the
stupidest person in the history of the
world." AJ sighed. "What are you gonna do?" I
thought for a second. "I don't know. I mean I
think I still love Beth." He gave me a
crazy look. "What? Are you insane? That girl
broke you heart in a million pieces.
Remember, she cheated on you and ran away
with the guy to L.A., hello? " I sighed
again. "I
know." He continued. "And do you remember how
you felt? Well I am pretty sure that's how
Elena is feeling right now." I felt
horriable. I didn't want to talk about it
anymore, so I changed the subject. "What did
you come here for anyway?" He looked around
the room. "Do you have any nice candles?" I
got up and walked over to the cabnet in the
corner. I took out four candels and gave them
to him. "Here. I probably won't use them.
What do you need them for?" He smiled. "It's
Gina's birthday and I have a very special and
romantic night planned." I smiled. "Ah yes.
The big 2-1. So what do you have planned?" He
reached around his back pocket and pulled out
a little black box. He opened it to reveal a
dimond ring. My mouth dropped open. "Your
not?" His smiled grew much wider. "Oh yes I
am." He put it back in his pocket. I sighed.
"But you have only been dating for 5 months."
He
shrugged his shoulders. "So. I love her.
Besides, it's not like
were getting married today. I want to be
engaged a while." He stood up. "Well, Rok,
I gotta go and set everything up for my night
of romance. She is
hanging out with the girls all day and coming
to my house at 7, so better get started." I
stood up and gave him a
hug. "Good luck man." He smiled and left.
**AJ'S PERSPECTIVE**
I went home and arranged the house the
way I wanted it. My mom came over to help me
with the major stuff. She had this wonderful
idea of putting a walkway arched over the
pool so we can sit and have a drink or two
and talk. We put light blue lights around the
edge of the pool so it could shine and look
pretty. My mom planted some flowers and I
told her I would work on the bedroom, she had
no problem with that. She kindly volenteered
to take the dogs for the night so they don't
get in our way. When everything was finished
she gave me a kiss and left. At 7:00 Gina
arrived. I ran to open the door. She stood
there smiling. She looked amazing. I let her
in. I closed the
door and turned to face her. I gave her a
kiss. "Happy birthday." She smiled. "Thanks."
I grabbed her hand. "Come on. Let's go out
back." We stepped out back and she gasped.
"Oh my, AJ, this is beutiful." We walked on
the walkway and sat down. We hung our feet
over the side, just barley touching the
water. I handed her a glass and poured some
champaigne into it. I smiled at her. "So, how
is your day going so far?" She smiled widley.
"Wonderful. Guess what? Fatima called me this
morning and she asked if I wanted to be in
the new Mandy Moore video, cause she is
coerographing it. Of course I said yes, so
rehearsal is wednesday." I gave her another
smile. "Congrats. What about the other
girls?" She took a sip of her champaigne.
"She asked them too, but they said they
wanted to rest for a while."
Every extra second that I sat there, my
heart started to pound even hader. I was
trying to find the perfect moment to pop the
question. Then a silence came over us, so I
decided to go for it. I slid closer to her. I
ran my fingers through her brown hair. "You
know I love you with all my heart right?" Her
face became very serious. "Yes. I love you
too." I took a deep breath and reached in my
back pocket and pulled out the box. I slowly
opened it infront of her. "Gina, would you be
my wife?" Her mouth dropped open and her eyes
started to tear. "Yes, yes, oh my God, of
course." I slid the ring on her finger. I
grabbed her face and kissed her passionatly.
