The next morning when I woke up, I was pleased that Matt was still next to me. The feel of his arms around my body was really comforting and I didn't want to get up. Slowly, I slid out of bed, checked myself in the mirror, smoothed my clothes out and then walked downstairs. I walked into the lounge to see everyone else talking and watching TV. "Morning," James said weakly, clutching his head. I smiled. "Morning," "You want any aspirin?" James asked, holding up the little pot. I shook my head. "I'm alright thanks." I smiled and sat on the sofa next to Charlie who was drinking coffee. "Do you know where Matt got to last night?" James asked, handing me some coffee and sitting down in the armchair. "Yeah, he's still asleep upstairs," I told him, taking a sip from my mug. "Upstairs? Which room was he in? Aesha was in my room, Kirsty was in my sisters and you were in my brothers. So he either tried to sleep in my little brother's bed or he slept in my parents bed which I severely hope he didn't." James said. "He was with me," I interuppted. Kirsty, Aesha and Charlie's heads all shot round to me. "Oh my god!" Kirsty shreiked. "Does this mean your back together?" She grinned. "Please don't tell me that you two were at it in my brothers bed," James moaned. I laughed. "No, we weren't 'at it' and we're definatley not back together. We're back on friendly terms, that's all." I explained. Charlie nodded sarcastically and smiled to himself. "You know what? I give it two weeks minimum before you're back snogging each others faces off," he smirked. "You were too close to let it all go to waste over some lying little bitch." I shrugged. "He obviously loves her otherwise he wouldn't have gone back to her," I added. "He loves you more," James blurted out. "He what?" I asked. James went slightly red. "Nothing! Ignore I even said it." He shouted. I shook my head, confused at his behaviour and sat back. "Em," James said after a little while. "Uh huh" I mumbled, turning to face him. "Do you fancy being my date for the dance next Friday? This lot all have dates so you're my last hope." he pleaded. "It's obviously only friendly. I don't mean that we have to be like proper dates," he added. I knew Matt was taking Jennifer so I nodded. "That'd be cool," I smiled.
Two Fridays later, I sat in my bedroom, putting finishing touches to my hair and makeup. I was wearing a black ballgown. The top layer of my hair was tied back in a bun while the rest fell onto my bare shoulders. I was normally the type to get all dressed up, however my mum had spent loads of money on the dress so I decided to just do it this once. I sat down on the bed and buckled up my high heels and then quickly checked myself over in the mirror. "Emma, James is here," My mum shouted up the stairs. I smiled to myself, stood up and made my way down the stairs unsteadily. James was wearing a white shirt, a black tie, a black jacket and trousers and his trainers. When he saw me, I thought I saw his eyes pop out of his sockets. "You look really beautiful," he smiled, taking my hand and kissing my cheek. I smiled back and linked arms with him. "So do you," I grinned. "Don't! I look like a right idiot." I opened the door and steeped out. "Bye mum!!!!" I shouted, slamming the door behind me. Me and James walked along the route we always took to school. "Right, I have some stuff to inform you about," James grinned. "Okay, sounds intriguing!" I smiled. "Right, that night when you all came around to mine and me and Matt were talking otside, he told me that he still loves you but just feels that you don't want him back. I know that's not true but he didn't really reply when I told him you still liked him. Anyway, he says that he wants to believe you and to a certain extent he does but something inside of him is telling him that you're wrong. He even told me that he doesn't love Jennifer, he's just back with her to make you jealous and because he feels it's the right thing to do. He says that the moment something proves what you said, he's dumping Jennifer." "Okay, so we just have to wait now I suppose for another 3 or 4 months," I sighed. "Not neccessarily." James replied with a devious grin. "I'm going to spike her drink with extra alcohol to make her drunkenly confess!" "I thought you said that you weren't getting involved." I told him. He smiled. "I know but seeing you two so unhappy is making me unhappy so I think we need to get you back together," "WE?" "Oh, Charlie is my accomplice and we just told Kirsty and Aesha so some more people were in on the plan and it didn't seem all suspicious." I smiled. "You know, you really are something else James." "Yep, I know," he beamed.

This should be the penultimate part!
During the dance, the majority of the time, we just sat and drank. Me, Kirsty, Aesha, James, Charlie and a rather dejected Matt sat around one of the tables talking. Matt left Jennifer to her own devices, meaning he left her to flirt with the other guys. Charlie and James had already managed to spike 4 of Jennifer's drinks and no one else seemed to have noticed. The set up was that Matt would go and get Jennifer's drinks, she'd drink some then leave it with Matt while she went off to flirt. While she was gone, either James and Charlie would add some extra alcohol, usually while we distracted Matt. When Jennifer would return, Matt would hand the drink over without knowing any different. Charlie and James would often have to stifle their giggles in order to keep the secret. We started to think the plan wasn't working but eventually, half an hour before the end, it all kicked off. "I'm really bored," I moaned, sipping from my cup, which I'd forced Charlie to add some of his vodka to. "I'll dance with you," Charlie grinned, rocking back on his chair. "No, you're too tall," "Don't even ask me," James butted in. "You are my date," I whined at him. "Yeah, as a friend," "Don't worry James, I don't want to dance, especially not with you, you might start moonwalking and it would be complete chaos." James grinned and we went back to just sitting. I watched as Jennifer stumbled over and nudged James. "Matttttttiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee, Come and dance with me baby," she slurred, trying to pull him up by his hands. I bit my bottom lip and James looked away and giggled. "No, I don't want to," Matt told her, staying firmly glued to his seat. "Puurrleaseeeeee," she begged, pulling harder. "NO!" Matt replied a bit more firmly this time. Jennifer caught sight of my smirking and scowled at me. "What are you laughing at bitch? In case you had forgotten, Matt's not yours any more. He's come back to me, where he belongs. You were just a little fill in while we had a break, you meant nothing to him, you were just an easy lay, y'know, what with you two already being friends and all that, he was already halfway there. You'll only ever be half the woman that I am. Matt can obviously see that for himself, that's why he picked me over you," she shouted. The music was so loud though that no-one except our table heard. As she was talking, I felt both James and Charlie reach out and take one of my hands each under the table for support. I was about to shout back, even though she was drunk, but someone got there before me. "DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!" Matt yelled, standing up. "What has she done to deserve any of the abuse you give her. She's been my best friend for as long as I can remember and I care so much about her. How fucking dare you say all that shit. You're not a better person than her, she's the nicest person I've ever met, the most caring and loving girl I've ever come into contact with. Don't sit there kidding yourself that she's the person I turned to when I was on the rebound, because the real rebound for me, is you. And all that crap about you being a better woman than her, how can you say that? You're 5 months pregnant, you reek of fags and you're blantently pissed off your head, YOU'RE THE FUCKING DISGRACE," he bellowed. Jennifer, who appeared to have taken in none of what Matt said, just started giggling. I was still in shock from Matt's speech to take much notice of her. "Matt, I think I might have told you a teensy, tiny, weeny white lie," she giggled. A look of victory spread over James' face and Matt began to look confused. "What?" he asked, waiting for an answer. "You see, it's about the baby." She started, still giggling in her drunken stupor. "It's not actually your baby because I'm not even pregnant," she whispered loudly. "But Matt, that's just a secret between you and me, okay?" So sssshhhhhhhhh. No one else knows, except for my friends." I saw Matt's expression drop as he realised that what he'd been told had been the truth all along. "We can always go back to my place now and make one, baby, what do you say?" she asked him, trying to be seductive, but failing miserably. Matt slowly looked away and took a deep breath. "Fuck you," he said quietly. He bought his face back up to look at her. "Get away from me. I never want to see you again and I never want to be near you again. I just want you out of my life for good," he told her menacingly. "You got that?" "But Mattie....... what about the baby?" she whined, walking towards him, oblivious to the fact that she'd just confessed all. James and Charlie must have given her more alcohol than they intended. "GET OFF ME!" Matt yelled, shaking her arm off of his, causing her to fall backwards. "Just rot in hell," he sneered. He walked away from the table, leaving Jennifer on the floor, and left the hall, slamming the door behind him. "I'll go after him," I said, standing up. James put an arm out and pushed me back down. "Me and Charlie will go, you stay here,"he told me. Charlie nodded and they went out after him. "He really must love you," Kirsty whispered, watching as Jennifer picked herself up, angry at her comeuppance. "So I keep getting told," I whispered back. "He just has to prove it to me now."

I was worried what had happened with Matt after he stormed out on Friday night. I tried ringing both James and Charlie the morning after but neither of them would answer their mobiles. I didn't want to worry myself too much over it. I just assumed that no news was good news. I'd told my mum everything and she told me to give him some space. I had to agree. He'd just found out his girlfriend had been lying to him and he wasn't going to be a dad. It was a lot for him to take in. It wasn't until Sunday that I eventually heard something from someone. My mobile rang and the display told me it was James. I pressed the accept call button and put the phone to my ear. "I've been trying to call you for ages," I told him straightaway. "I know you have but me, Charlie and Matt have been having important chats and been going out on important outings for the past day or so." "Why?" I asked. "Ah, all will be revealed later on," he said happily. "What do you mean?" "Don't go anywhere today, you're going to get a visit some time after it's gone dark," "James, what are you going on about?" "I can't tell you but it's really important that you are in after it's dark." "Okay," I said nervously. "Great, and you have to tell me everything that happens when you come to school tomorrow" "Uh, yeah, I will," I stuttered. "Right, see you tomorrow," he said cheerily. "Yeah, see you," I pressed the end call button and sat back trying to decipher the mixed message I had just got from James. Matt was mentioned which must have meant that he was involved. I did as James said and didn't go out. When it started to go dark, I looked at my clock. It was 8:00. I didn't really know what to do to pass the time so I just read through all my magazines. I waited and waited and waited but no one came and nothing happened. As I leant down to look in my drawer for some more magazines, my bedroom door opened. Assuming it was my mum I carried on searching, not really acknowledging her prescence. "What you looking for?" A male voice asked. I shot up to see Matt standing in the doorway. He smiled at me and then looked down at his hands. "What are you doing here?" I asked, "How did you get in?" He looked up at me again. "Your mum let me in, I needed to see you," "I didn't hear the doorbell ring," I said, still in shock. "Yeah, I came in the back door. I wanted to surprise you," he smiled, "And I think I've succeeded." I nodded. "Yep, you really have." I smiled. "So what do you want?" I asked. He looked back down at his hands. "I really need to apologize to you. I've made a terrible mistake." I shook my head. "It's okay, I should be apologizing. I should have just left it for you to find out for yourself. It wasn't any of my business really." "You don't have to apologize, I'm glad that you did say. You started to make me doubt her and everything that I said to her on Friday night is a build up of everything I've been thinking while we've been apart." he sighed. "I really want you back," I shut my eyes. I wanted him back too but I wasn't sure if it was going to work. I opened my eyes again. "I want you back as well but I'm scared," "What of?" he asked, sitting at the foot of my bed. "I'm scared of it all going wrong again. I know I was wrong but when I told you that stuff, you didn't trust me. A relationship doesn't work if you don't have trust in each other." "I did trust you. I knew that what you were saying was right but I didnt want you to be right. I was just kidding myself to make myself happy." he sighed. "I'm so sorry about the stuff I said to you. It was really hurtful and I didn't mean any of it. I loved you then and I still love you now." "I still love you too, but I don't know if I can handle it going wrong again," "It won't go wrong again, we can make it work," "I dunno." "If you give me this one last chance, I'll prove it to you," I sighed and shuffled closer to him. I put my hand on his cheek and turned his head so he was facing me. "You better prove it to me," I smiled. Slowly his sad expression turned into a grin and he leaned in and kissed me. It felt nice to feel his lips against mine again and I smiled even more. "I love you," he whispered. I smiled at him. "I love you too." He delved into his pocket and pulled out the silver ring he'd bought me on holiday. "I think you need this back," he told me, sliding it along my right index finger. "Thank you," I said, kissing him again. He smiled and took my left hand in his. "Not that I'm rushing things or anything here, but there was something else," he told me. Keeping hold of my left hand, he slid of the bed and knelt down in front of me. He looked up into my eyes and smiled whilst reaching into his back pocket. He produced a black velvet ring box. He flicked it open to show another ring. This one was white gold, or so the inside lid of the box said. Sitting on the top of the band was one big diamond, surrounded by lots of little tiny ones. "I think you need this one as well." he grinned. "What are you saying?" I asked him, whilst grinning madly. "Marry me," he said. "Only if you want to, obviously," he smiled his cheeky grin and I couldn't help but grin back. All of my doubts over him suddenly vacated my mind and I was so happy. "Yeah, I do want to," I smiled. Matt slid the ring along my wedding finger and kissed me. "We don't have to get married straightaway, we can wait until we're both 18 if you want," "I don't care when we get married, as long as we do it eventually," I smiled. He smiled back at me and hugged me tightly.
The next morning, me and Matt walked to college together for the first time in a long time. We were so wrapped up in each other and so engrossed in talking about weddings that we could have been picked up by a twister and not noticed. When we reached the gates, the other four were standing in a little huddled group. Kirsty noticed us and they all stood smiling at us. "So it worked I see," Charlie smiled, slapping Matt on the back in a friendly way. "We're finally back on track," I smiled. "Awwww, it's so sweet," Aesha grinned. I looked at Matt at smiled. "We have more news," I smiled. Turning to Aesha and Kirsty, guessing that they were the only two not in on the plan. "Tell us," Kirsty demanded. I held my left hand out and they both shrieked when they saw the ring. "I guess we picked the right ring then," James smirked. I nodded. "It's gorgeous," "If you need any bridesmaids, we'd be more than willing to help out," Kirsty grinned. "Of course, who else would I pick?" "When is it going to be?" Aesha asked me. I shrugged and looked at Matt. "We're going to see how things work out before we decided whether to set the date for sooner or later." "But it's definatley going to be a summer wedding," I added. "Well, congratulations, you two look so happy together," James said. I smiled at him. "We are. I've never been this happy before in my life," I grinned before leaning up and planting a kiss on Matt's lips.
