[Christian's Apology]
“Happy birthday to you.” Ellie wished her younger sister as she gave her the gift she got her.
“Thank you, sissy.” Mercy appreciated her with a grin on her lips. They had done this to replace the first one that was messed up and also celebrate their family reunion. The J-Stars, Julia and Crystal all made their appearance. Their parents smiled as they watch their daughters play around. The relationship between Elsa and Ellie was slowly returning to normal.
After taking a few pictures, the party ended and the few people who came left for their houses.

“So what do you think about what I asked you?” Jayson asked with nervousness. A blush crept on Elsa's cheeks. She touched her cheeks and looked away shyly.
“Come and pick me tomorrow's evening.” She managed to say. Jason nodded with a smile and got into his car.
“See you.” He said and drove off.
*
“Hey, Ellie.” Ian called out to her. He had also come alongside Yeon Hwa.
She looked at him and smiled.
“Thanks for coming.” She appreciated.
“I should be the one thanking you. If it has not be you that day, I would have lost my life.” He acknowledged. She smiled.
“I did it out of kindness.” She affirmed.
“Your boyfriend is quite lucky to have you.” He stated.
“And that person happens to be me. So I can say, I am lucky.” Jake said, wrapping his hands around Ellie from behind and pulling her close to him. She gasped. He planted a peck on the crook of neck. She blushed. Ian chuckled and left them.
“So it was him you saved the other day?” Jake asked. Ellie nodded positively in response.
“Ohh…” Jake trailed off.

Shawna and her parents stepped down from their car and marched towards the Smith's house.
Shawna took the intuition to knock. Julia opened the door and paved way for them to come in. They stepped in and went to the living room.
After all the whole pleasantries, serving them wine and Julia not missing to chances to throw Shawna glares. Jayson’s dad, Cole, finally brought up the conversation.
“So tell me, how is the engagement preparation going on?” Shawna's dad asked. Cole looked at his wife and then back at them. Shawna looked around, she noticed Jayson was not here.
“And also where is my fiancé to be?” She managed to asked.
“Hmm, I know I must have bothered you but the case of my company's bankruptcy has been solved and everything has been given back to me. So I guess there is no need for the contract again.” Cole announced.
“What?!” Shawna yelled and stood up instantly.
“This is impossible.” Her mother remarked fiercely.
“I am really sorry about…” Shawna ran out of the house already soaked in tears.
How could they do something like that to her?
All her hopes of being with Jayson shattered?
She slam the door of her car shut and ordered the driver to move.
“Mr. Cole, this is so heartless of you. How could you play my daughter's heart like that?” Shawna's dad yelled.
“I am sorry.” Cole simply apologized. The Greene stomped out of the house in anger.
Jayson and Ian walked down the stairs.
“Cleared so soon?” Jayson asked.
“Yes.” Julia answered.
**Next Morning**
“Hey, Ellie. I'm gone. See you later.” Elsa shouted, rushing out of the house. Ellie shook her head and smiled.
“And why is Elsa behaving like that?” Mercy asked as she walked towards Ellie.
“Because she is getting her boyfriend today.” Ellie simply said.
*
“So sorry about the delay. Woke up quite late.” Elsa apologized. Jayson smiled and ignited the car. They got to the playground and stepped out of the car.
“Why a playground?” She asked.
“Don't you remember? This was the place I confessed my feeling to you.” He replied.
“Oh, yeah.” She said with a little smile.
“So why did you want to see me?” She asked.
“Because I asked you if you would love to be my girlfriend.” He answered.
“Wow, so straightforward.” She wondered and he chuckled.
“Well, about that. I guess my answer is… YES.” She replied with a little bit of a coy smile. Jayson grinned and hugged her tightly. They pulled apart after some minutes.
“Do you know how scared I was that you would refuse me?” He said.
“So…” Jayson bit his lower lip.
“First kiss?” He asked as he brought his face closer to her. She smiled and they were about to kiss when someone cleared their throat. Jayson groaned and they both turned towards the person, only to see Christian.
“Christian…” Elsa trailed off. He beamed a sad smile at her.
“No, listen to me first. I know I came at the wrong time but all I just wanted to say is that I am sorry. And please, forgive me. I should not have agreed to gang stupid bet.” He begged her. Elsa was tongue tied. She did not know what to say. When he did not get any response, he turned on his heels and started moving towards his car.
“I forgive you.” Her voice stopped him. He turned towards her and smiled at her.
“thank you.” He said and left for his car. He knew he lost a gem and at least not himself.
“So our first kiss?” Jayson brought her attention to him, wriggling his eyebrows playfully. She smiled and soon their lips came in contact and blended in a new found immature love.
“Making it official.” Jayson told her and they clicked on their social media and updated it. They both chuckled when they saw the immediate reactions from people. They spent the rest of the day talking about each other and teasing each other. They laughed and joked.
<><><><>
Shawna saw the update on Jayson's account and saw that he already become Elsa's boyfriend. She yelled angrily and threw her phone away.
“He is mine.” She screamed with tears running down her cheeks.
*
“Congratulations to you.” Ellie told Elsa. Elsa smiled and nodded her head.
“Are you happy?” Elsa asked her.
“Yes, I am.” Ellie replied her.
“Ellie, I don't want you to feel unwanted or neglected again. From now on, I promise to always listen to you and tell you some things about me also. We will be the best example to our younger sister.” Elsa said, spreading her hands out for a hug. Ellie took it and they hugged.
“Wow, you've got his cologne on you.” Ellie said and Elsa blushed. She ran towards the stairs shyly. Ellie laughed at her.
THE END.
