Jake and I made our relationship officially that night of the opened mick. Giving each other the chance we had for ever long ago dreamed of. He went and talked to my mom and Phill, called dad and talked to him asking for his blessing. Don't ask, it's a country boy thing... a really special tradition I love they have.... to ask for a blessing on a relationship.
Last we drove to his house and went to Craig and Lorraine, his parents. She hugged me and looked at him hitting his hand, when we gave them the news.
"It's about damn time Jay...." She scuffed at him.
Guess my brother was right, everyone was able to see how much we both meant to each other, except for us. We were finally taking a risk. A risk to finally love each other in front of everyone.

Carissa's POVJeremy opened the door to the car for me and we took off on the direction of my mom's house. She lived in a small two bedroom house right by the dinner. It wasn't much, but it was good enough for us both.Rugged old porch, but the flowers were always adorned around every corner. She loved to sit up by the porch on quiet days along with a good book and a cup of coffee.She was special to me.... and although technically she was my aunt, she was all I had besides Jeremy. She was my momma! She earned that title long-lost ago.He parked the car, placed it in park as he turned off the engine. He got off and ran to my side to help me out the car."Easy, be careful babe. Let me give you a hand." He stretched out holding me as if I was a porcelain doll."Jeremy I can do this myself, I'm pregnant, not handicapped." I demanded.

Third person POVBack at the lake house Brianna and Jake were getting ready for bed. She had her low cut spaghetti strap nightie that barely came down her bottom.With slits on the side, exposing her matching silk thong in navy blue, without a bra. She sat at her vanity combing her hair as Jake came out the bathroom wrapped in a towel, his body still full of water droplets running down his chest.He opened a drawer at his side of the bed and pulled out his boxers, dropping the towel and putting them on.He knew Brianna liked to keep the place tidy. He grabbed the towel off the floor and placed it on the door hinge inside the bathroom. He came back out closing the door behind
Brianna's POVI woke up early next morning. Jake was still sound asleep. Laying on his stomach. I leaned forward giving him a kiss on his cheek. He had a light stubble growing and made my nose tickle when I leaned forward to kiss him, making me sneeze as it tickled my nose.He was perfect.... His hair a ruffled mess. He kept complaining about going to get a hair cut, but hadn't had time to go to the barber in a while. I didn't mind, the ear length hair made him look pretty sexy to me. I ran my hands through his hair, interlacing my fingers through his soft brown strands... he muffled in his sleep, I could see the small grin creeping up in his lips as he stirred there gripping the pillow with his hands. I love him, he was perfect.I went downstairs to get breakfast started, turned on the coffee machine and began to cook for both of us. I decided on an easy task, bacon and eggs. I turned the fire on, placing a skillet on top, c
Brianna's POVChristmas day was here, I sat by the fire place in Jake's home next to him. I missed sleeping here to wake for Christmas day, last time I spent Christmas here was the Christmas before I left for college.I missed how beautiful his home looks around this time. White string lights and decorations past down from generation to generation. Mistletoe hidden in different corners of the house. The fire lit in the warm fire place where we both sat.His dad and mom were in the kitchen being all lovey dovey, while they finished Christmas breakfast and sipped on their coffee.Jake sat on the floor with one leg bent at the knee, the other tucked under playing his guitar that was looking a bit runned down. I kept laughing because it kept on tuning out. Bringing my hand to cover my laugh. He kept blushing saying he needs to buy a new one, or fix the strings. I honestly didn't mind... he still sounded amazing.
Third person POVSpring semester had sneaked in on them. Carissa's stomach began to grow, just a tiny little bulge... barely noticeable. Making it rather visible to the others nevertheless. She indulged in the beauty of the thought of motherhood. Her hair was silkier, skin radiant and glowing. Her nails kept growing at a rather speedy rate. She'd taken the task to talk to her cheerleaders and announced that although it saddened her, she was leaving the cheerleaders team. They cried for a bit, and said their goodbyes , but they knew it was for the best.Her appetite for sweetness was too much for Jeremy to withstand. The once endearing thought of coming home to his darling girlfriend baking was an exciting matter. Marbled cupcakes and fresh made red velvet were his favorite. But now, it was one matter that at this point was becoming rather undone of. He was becoming far over it."Carissa babe, don't you thi
Brianna's POVDad's wedding day was here, just around the corner. We were all going to leave for California in just a few days. Which ment I had to hurry and do as much as I could here. I have been extremely busy, I rarely even have time to eat or sleep.Jake keeps getting mad at me for staying up so late at night, and because I work on my laptop while we are trying to eat. He usually just closes the damn thing on me and snatches it away and hides it till I eat at least a few bites.I have been so stressed, I didn't take any classes this semester because I simply don't have time for it. He is usually gone all day until the afternoon. When he's done with all his classes, he comes back home and we spend most evenings together when I'm not working on paperwork.I hate when he gets mad at me. So I thought maybe I could get a nice dinner done for us to make it up to him. Evelyn and my brother had agreed
Brianna's POVWe were all gathered together in two cars. We decided on taking my brother's jeep and Jake's truck since they were roomier.Plus I was used to Jake's truck too. So in case I needed to step in and drive to give Jake and Jeremy, who was riding along with me and Carissa to give them a nice rest.Of course it was out of the question for us to let Carissa drive. She looked pretty tired already with all the morning sickness she's endured this morning.Before heading out, Jake had decided to stop at the local cafe. He got off the car and already I was feeling really tired and sleepy. I don't know what is going on with me, maybe he and Evey are right... I have been working far too long. I should get some rest.Before I knew it, the girls were all out talking while Jake and my brother were inside ordering take out breakfast for all of us. We had about a thirty two or so hour drive ah
Third Person POVAll four couples had finally arrived at Brianna and Matthew's father's home. They had a long six hour drive from Barstow to Clovis, but neither one complaint. They were happy to have finally arrived.Everyone was completely at awe at the sight. Endless rows of grape vines all around, people everywhere greeted them with such kindness, it was almost as if they'd step into the image of the pleasentville movie.They had already started on the decorations for the wedding the next day. It wasn't over the top extravagant, but it was; rather warm, loving, a perfect scenario for the delicately intimate feel of love.They made their way to the front of the villa, and parked the cars right up front. There were men already waiting for them to move the cars over and take their luggage."There they are! Look at you guys? I'm so happy you finally made it out here!" Robert calle
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. "Ok Loretta, please... Make sure Aiden eats and
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
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
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
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
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
Third Person POVThree 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,
Matthew's POVI've been out in this lobby for five weeks now. Can't seem to focus on everything around me. My best friend is in there in a coma-like state, and my little sister hasn't gotten out of that room next to his side unless she gets dragged out by Evey.I never thought I'd see the day when I'd actually miss the two walking out together hand in hand.My sister rarely smiles, the only thing that seems to brighten her day is when we ask her about the baby.Needless to say, I am even missing Jake's though stubborn ass attitude. Regardless of how serious he is, he was the one that held us together as a team.Coach and the guys have called several times to check on him. But no changes have come up to now. All his wounds have healed, the doctor was saying his arm and leg cast may be taken off in two more weeks.But I just don't get it, why he isn't waking up? His CT scan re

Evelyn sat across from me. My brother had stayed behind to sit next to Jake while Evelyn dragged me down here to eat.I glanced at a small speck on the table, my mind completely spaced out. My right hand placed on the table in front, between myself and my plate, the other pushing my food from one side of the plate to the next with my fork.I can hear Evey
