Three days after Jake had woken up, officer Torres was notified of his status.
He was the police officer who was assigned to Jake and Caleb's case.The drunk driver that hit their car had fled the scene. Which made the case much harder to solve. There were two cameras that had recorded the scene, but it was far too blurry to make out the license plate.
They were able to track down the man's address and work location. He was an elderly man, who struggled with alcoholism for years. He'd given up in life, given he'd lost his wife to breast cancer five years back. His kids were grown, moved out and had gone on with their life careless about how their father was.
Needless to say, he suffered from severe depression. He never ment to cause the accident, everything that day for him had gone completely wrong.
He'd gotten close to getting fired, another guy had messed up at work,
Brianna's POVIt's been a good three weeks since Jake got out of the hospital. I've been taking care of him the whole time.He acts like a big ol'baby because he wants to do things on his own. But gets irritated when he's unable to.We stayed in California for two weeks after he was discharged. Finally, a week ago, we were able to comfortably drive back home. It was a really long drive back, but I loved every step of the way.I fussed and turned all the time, since I'm a good fifteen weeks pregnant now. My stomach is not so big, but it does get uncomfortable to sit for too long.And because of the accident, Jake has become more over protective with me.Despite the fact he can barely move, since he still needs to take it easy on his foot, but he still wants to walk around and do things normally.There's just no stopping this man."Jake, sot your ass dow
Brianna's POVI'd have to admit... when I took the decision to come back to Tennessee this school year, I never thought that my life would make a complete turn on me.I had my mind set, to come here and take over dad's vineyard. Maybe have the chance to spend time with Jake and my brother along the way.It never crossed my mind that Jake would actually love me like he does now. I've always been deeply in love with him, and I feared that coming here would end up in a broken heart.My mind often wondered off thinking on what it would be like to actually be considered his girlfriend. But then i'd bring myself back to reality, knowing the possibility of him having someone else in his life was there.The possibilty of me coming here and finding he had someone else he was in love with.For a while I really believed it... specially when I met Kaitlyn. She was beautiful, with her lo
Jake's POVMid-June (Graduation Day)I stood with Matthew, Caleb, Jeremy, Carissa, and Vanessa. I was a nervous wreck. We were in front of our seats, waiting to hear the end of the speech from our headmaster and preparing ourselves to walk towards the stage and receive our diplomas.There was numerous audience in the stands, but my mind was only set on one beauty up there. My soon-to-be wife, Brianna. She has been the biggest support for me this year.I never thought I'd be graduating with her by my side. If I went back to the beginning of this year and had been told she was going to be coming here, I probably would have been really excited ... but wouldn't have believed it.She makes me happy. She knows what ticks me off, what makes me smile. I don't think anyone in this world knows me as good as she does.*****We all took turns on our graduation walk and shook hands with the dean, headmasters, lead staff, and numerous teachers. When it was my turn, I could hear a heap roar of people
Third Person POVBrianna stood before the girls...Her baby bump was all she could think of. It made picking out a dress harder than she thought. There was no way she was going to postpone the wedding now. Not when it was just a few months away.Jake had taken the task of giving her the dream wedding she wanted. Whatever it took, no matter the cost. He just wanted her to remember that day as one of the most precious, romantic, unforgettable nights of their life.She had already tried on three gowns, but they were either too tight on her belly or just didn't quite suit her.Evelyn tried to calm her down to no avail. It's not like she was a bridezilla, but more that she wanted that perfect dress to make the perfect impression on him.While it was true, once she walked down that aisle, all eyes would be on her... but she only thought walking down was the beginning of her happily ever after with the man she was deeply in love with. Her best friend, and soon-to-be husband.She had explained
Third Person POVBrianna stood before the body-length mirror. Her hair floods down beautifully in loose curls. Evelyn tried to pin her veil delicately on the back of her head.She shivered with nervousness. Her eyes threatened to become glossy, as she tried to fight back the uncontrollable urge to shake her whole body. The pit of her stomach feeling butterflies mixed with the sudden kicks from her little one was not the best combination at this time."Hold still will you?" Evey glared annoyingly at her."I know... I know I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous right now Evey. What if he gets cold feet? What if he says no in the end? Or what if he never even makes it to the""Stop it Brie!... you're getting way ahead of yourself. He'll be there.... waiting for you to make your way down the aisle." Carissa reassured her.She makes her way to her, her little tiny baby girl Zoe wrapped in a cute fuzzy lavender blanket.She could hear as she walks to Brianna. Brianna's gaze softens as she takes the
Ten Years LaterBrianna's POVI have been incredibly busy and nervous today. Aiden just turned ten years old.....TEN! Can you believe that?Why are my babies growing up so fast? My baby girl Emily just turned eight herself in late August. For a while when I was pregnant with her, I thought she was going to be born on my birthday. But, she was born a week after mine, on the twenty-first.Though their birthdays are not the reason why I am completely nervous. But rather because Jake has something planned for us this weekend, doesn't want to tell me, and I am now preparing Aiden and Emily's bags to travel with Grandma Loretta and Grandpa Phill to California to visit their godparents, Aunt Evey and Uncle Matt.They have never traveled anywhere without me or Daddy... So that makes me so nervous. On top of that, Jake told me to pack warm clothes and nothing more. Saying he'd take care of the rest.I make my way to the living room, bags in hand.

✨✨Jake✨✨It's been almost three years since my best friend Brianna moved away to California. We were inseparable, did everything, and went everywhere together.She was one of the only people I was ever willing to open up to and be myself with. We went our separate ways when we graduated high school.

A small quiet countryside town. Most folks there have been living there from generation to generation.My family and Brie's included.I've been playing football here since my first year. We got recruited when we were in high school. I get scolded by the coach all the time. He and everyone always say I have a big temper and need to work on it.
