This is her dress but it has blue belt instead of black. It has blue sleeves at the top that go around her bi and triceps though. It represents her strong and beautiful sides in my mind. It probably sound super ugly but just bear with me, imagine it's not, please. I'm really trying. Thanks! 4.2k+ views is amazing. I really appreciate it! Enjoy!

Erica's POV:
I woke up around 9 and got Ben up too. He was much calmer now and I realized how much he truly cared about me. He was madly in love with me, and I'd have it no other way, since I feel the exact same way about him. If he'd died, I probably would have killed myself too. I told him that while we ate the breakfast we'd made an hour earlier and he promised to come talk to me before it ever got that far. 

He thanked me again and I simply said, "No problem babe. I'm glad I'm the one who gets to comfort you and help you feel better. You've had panic attacks before, so if you ever feel this way, come get me so I can help." He agreed and we just talked until he warned it was time for me to go meet with my mom and the girls to get the dresses for my wedding. He decided he was going back to bed, but given that he'd just had a big panic attack, I figured he needed it. 

I tucked him in on the couch, and whispered, "Sleep well, darling." I kissed him on the forehead and gently ruffled his hair. "Be good. If you need anything, call me." 

"I can do that." 

He fell asleep and looked freaking adorable! Quite a while later we found the bridesmaid dresses. They were a royal blue, but got lighter the father down you looked. My mom had found a simple black dress with lace sleeves for her to wear. Now we were onto me. We decided my dress and Ben's suit will have green for the most part, like the color of his eyes. He'd voted blue for mine, but decided it was more important that I would be happy than him, so he agreed. My mom gasped and held up a pretty lime green dress that had a blue ribbon belt and blue off-the-shoulder sleeves. I instantly loved it. It was dressy, but a little sporty too. "That's the one!" My mom laughed. 

"Shouldn't you try it on first?" 

Duh!!!!! 

"Oh...  yeah! Oops! I almost forgot!"I went to the fitting room and put it on. It fit perfectly. "I love it!" 

When they saw it, we all agreed this was the one. 

Now it's just our parties and then the wedding. Time is passing so fast, but I love it! I love him! 

We paid for our dresses and put them in my mom's trunk. We took them to her house and by then it was already 2:30. We put the dresses in her closet so that Ben and the guys wouldn't see them. 

"Want to go get lunch?" I asked. Zoe nodded. 

"Where do you wanna go?" 

"We could go to Bagger Dave's." Jessica suggested. My mom spoke up now. 

"That sounds lovely. Let's head there now. Jessica, dear, would you ride in my car?" 

"Sure, I guess." I decided to invite Zoe to come with me. 

"Zoe, you wanna ride with me?" 

"Uh yeah! I'd love to!" I should have expected her to be thrilled. 

"K, we'll see you guys there then?" 

"Yup. Ready Mrs. Hale?" 

"Yes dear. Let's go."

 We got into my car and mom and Jessica got into her car. I started to drive and Zoe decided now was a good time for girl talk. Great. 

"Sooo... how are things with you and Ben?" 

"Since I know you're not going to give up, they're pretty good actually. He had a panic attack this morning so he's still asleep right now, but I was the one who calmed him down a little until it ended. He was really upset. He grabbed a knife and I didn't wait to find out what he wanted to do with it. I took it and talked about fun memories of u and why I was so cold to him before. He calmed down and I was thrilled. I love how honest and caring he is. He tells me what he's thinking or what's going on, unless it's a surprise. But honestly, I... I was really scared." I felt tears roll down my face. 

"Oh my god. Erica... I'm so sorry. I-I had no idea." I wiped them away. 

"It's fine. I understand. So, you and Mike?" She blushed. 

"Oh, uh, yeah. They're pretty good. I can't believe he's taller than me now. But things are great. He's really kind and sweet, just like Ben. I can tell why they're best friends." 

"Yeah. So how long have you been together? 2 years right?" 

"Yeah, ever since me and Ben broke up we've been dating. And I really like him. Well... I think I love him." I wasn't surprised because I could tell. 

"I'm happy for you! And I'm pretty sure he loves you too." Her face lit up. 

"Really?" I nodded. She smiled. 

"Why did your mom want to ride with Jessica?" 

"My mom always saw relationships really easily. I think she believes Jessica and Jawa like each other. So she probably just wanted to make sure. And before you ask, no, Jawa and his girlfriend broke up a little while ago, so he is single. But it's kinda obvious that he likes her. He stares at her a lot, and laughs at anything she says, funny or not." She seemed surprised. 

"Huh, I didn't catch that, but you're right." She stopped. "And I'm sorry for how I acted when we were younger. I shouldn't have constantly tried to get Ben to like me and not you. It was petty, and I apologize. You guys are way better together." I was shocked. 

"Oh, no problem. I understand, seeing as I did the same exact thing. I'm sorry too. But you know what, I feel bad for Ben. He constantly had to choose who to side with, and whoever he didn't got angry with him. He had to deal with us constantly fighting too. When you two started dating, I was crushed. But I realized it was my fault. I pushed him away and you pulled him in. It wasn't meant to hurt me but I felt bad that I said we could never be together and he was crushed. But thanks, for helping him up and giving him some hope." 

"No problem." 

We sat in silence the rest of the way there. We got out and started to walk towards the door. But she put her hand on my shoulder and I turned. She hugged me and I hugged back. 

"I'm glad we can move on now and be friends." She said. 

"Yeah, me too." 

15 minutes later we were sitting down at our table ordering. We all got burgers and salads. 

Jessica's POV:
Why would she want me to ride with her? She knows Zoe so much better? 

I got in the car next to her and looked over to see a mischievous smile spread across her face. Oh oh. 

"Hey." I said awkwardly. 

"I bet you're wondering why I asked you to ride with me and not Zoe. It's because I have a few questions." 

Oh. 

"You do?" 

"Yes. Do you like Jawa?" I blushed really hard. 

Shoot! She'll know if I lie because she's MI6! 

"Ummm... yeah. I do." 

"Ah, yes, I was quite sure but I wanted confirmation from you. But, if I'm not mistaken, he seems to like you too." I was shocked and thrilled. I really hoped she was right. 

"I really like him. He is smart, strong, athletic, funny, sweet, caring and really cute, though I'd like him even if he wasn't cute. It is a nice bonus though. Do you really think he likes me?" She smiled at me. 

"Yes I do. I often look over and find one of you staring at the other without them noticing. I see both of you blush when you look at each other. I see both of you laugh at most everything the other says even if it wasn't funny. All the signs seem to say you like each other. While I don't know for sure, it seems very likely. Maybe text him and ask to meet up later. If he agrees, tell him how you feel and if he likes you, he'll probably confess. It is a risk, but not a big one, given how you both act around each other." I thought for a second. 

"Yeah, I'll try that. Thanks for the advice Mrs. Hale!" She smiled. 

"Not a problem dear. And you can call me Cat." I grinned and nodded. 

I decided to text him. I sent, 'Hey Jawa, wanna hang out later?  I wanna talk to you and I wanna ask you a question.' Does that sound good?' 

"It sounds good but you can add a heart at the end if you want. To give a general idea of what you want to talk about or just to see his reaction. If he asks why, say it was an accident, but if he responds with a smiley face or heart, he probably likes you. No guarantees though, just my experience." I decided to risk it. 

"I think I'll go for it." I mumbled. When she pulled into the parking lot and we got out, I walked over and hugged her. 

"What was that for?" She asked. 

"For all your help. I wouldn't have been able to do any of it without you. Thank you." 

"I'm glad to be of assistance. I always wanted to help someone with relationships but my daughter was too hurt by Joshua, so she never tried until recently. But, she did ask for advice, and that worked out really well, didn't it?" I laughed and nodded. 

We sat down at our table and ordered our food. 

Erica's POV:
We had a peaceful lunch and really enjoyed ourselves. We talked about Jawa and Jessica, Mike and Zoe, and Ben and I.

 We guessed Chip would stay with his girlfriend Rebecca. They seemed to really like each other. She was funny and pretty and nice and a really good spy. He always stares at her and seemed to freeze. Their relationship looked to be pretty serious. We always laughed at their ship names. It was either Rhip (Rip) or Chabecca. Jawa would always say Rip Chewbacca, and it stuck. They were great together and she often hung out with us when we all did stuff together. We all really liked her and she fit right in. 

We wrapped up our leftovers and headed home. 

Mike invited Zoe to stay with him at his parent's house, so I dropped her off before I headed home. 

Jessica was staying at Jawa and Chip's shared apartment for the time being. Ben joked we should make the Spy House or something like that like a spy version of the hype house. It didn't sound bad except for the fact that it would be a lot of people and there'd be very little privacy. We looked into a Spy House for a gathering place or temporary situation, not to live at. This didn't sound bad, but we had a mission first, so it would have to wait until afterwards and we still had to figure out details etc. 

We'd also found out we were welcome on school grounds whenever since Spy House wasn't done and we had to where to keep training for the spy stuff. That was pretty cool but I wanted to go home and see Ben now. 

I was tired and figured we'd sleep together on the couch if he wanted to. I walked in the door; he woke up a little and got up. He walked over quickly and hugged me. 

"I missed you. I'm glad you're back. I love you." I hugged him back. 

"Me too. And I love you too." 

I pecked him on the lips and smiled. 

"Now I'm tired so I'm taking a nap. Care to join me on the couch?" 

"Gladly." 

We both curled up next to each other and I fell asleep next to him feeling safe as ever.

K, it's late and I'm dead tired af so here's your update. I'm going to bed. Goodnight. Sorry if I seem rude; I'm just falling asleep while writing this so gn y'all.
