ELIZABETH'S P.O.V

I run a hand through my hair, my eyes switching back and forth between the papers. The handwriting is the same and he was standing by my locker. What do I do? I groan in frustration putting my head in my hands. I hear a knock on my door and I look up as my mom enters my room, she smiles at me with a cup of tea in her hands and sets it down next to the papers, "What's up?" she asks and I sigh. "Mom, I need to talk to you" I say and she becomes more serious and takes a seat on the stool in front of me and I sigh again. "So I started getting these notes...", I explain the whole situation right up until where I got a sample of Caleb's handwriting and how it matched the letters. She listened patiently and when I finished she processed it all.

"While I do wish you had come to me about this sooner I'm glad you're doing it now. As for what we should do, first we should tell your father and then we can head down to the principals office and perhaps the police station and get this all sorted out" she said and I nod with a deep breath. She puts her hand over mine, "it'll be alright Liz, we got this honey" she said with a comforting smile and it felt like a weight had lifted off my shoulders. She patted my hand a few times before standing up and moving the stool back and then exiting the room to go talk to my dad I presume. I finish my tea that I'd been sipping on while I was explaining the story and then go and lie down on my bed and text Gabbie about how the conversation with my mom went.

She texted me back supportive messages and I felt an overwhelming sense of love and appreciation for this girl, I was so happy she'd come in my life and that I could confidently call her my best friend. My mom pops her head in the door saying that I need to get ready to leave and that we were gonna head to the school in 15 minutes. I nod, get up and head to my closet. I pick up some simple blue jeans, a long sleeved white turtleneck and then throw on a big winter jacket as it was rather cold outside today. I pull on my black sneakers and grab my phone before heading outside.

My back rests against the car as I wait for my parents to head outside. I see Emmett next door walking outside and I instantly put my head down hoping he won't see me. "Lizzie" I hear him say and I sigh, 'dammit that never works', I look up. He looks sad, he's got light black rings around his eyes like he didn't get any sleep. "Hi" I say lowly and he approaches me more. "Look I wanna explain what happ...", I cut him off "look Emmett it's okay we weren't together so it's not like you cheated on me or anything so let's just drop it okay" I snap at him and he looks hurt. "No but Lizzie I like you, alot and Ava she kis..." he gets cut off again but not by me but instead by my parents closing the front door.

They look curiously at us and he ducks his head a little and scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. "Look just let me explain" he says quietly to me and my parents approach and unlock the doors. I rub my temple, I feel overwhelmed. "I'm sorry Emmett" I say as I open the door and get into the car. My parents drive away leaving a sad Emmett with his hands shoved in his pockets all by himself in my driveway as my heart sinks to my stomach.

We arrive at my school and my heart races, am I really about to do this? They had brought the 'evidence' but I didn't feel comfortable. I asked to wait outside and my parents objected at first but eventually gave in and let me wait outside the door as they had their meeting. I wait anxiously twiddling my fingers and swinging my feet. Finally after what felt like a lifetime the door opens and out step my parents followed by the principal. "Once again my deepest of apologies, I will try to make sure something like this never happens again" he says and my parents offer a smile.

Nobody speaks until we reach the car and climb inside. I get in the back and wait patiently for them to talk. They turn around in their seats to face me and I look at them expectantly. "They're going to make sure it's him and if proven he will be expelled and we will file for a restraining order" my mom finally says and my dad smiles kindly at me. "So, it's good sorta?" I say and they nod. "Okay" I say and lean back against my seat. "Now, I think I need a coffee, you guys in?" my dad says and my mom and I smile.

After the coffee I arrive home to find a bouquet of flowers on my doorstep, I pick them up and look at the note. I see it's addressed to me, from Emmett.

'Dear Lizzie

I'm sorry, for everything. I'm sorry for the way I used to treat you and I'm sorry that after you finally forgave me that I made you feel terrible, but who I'm most sorry to is myself. For messing up my chance the most amazing woman on this planet. That I didn't realize that Ava was going to pull something like that. I know you probably won't believe me and I don't expect you to but I do want you to know that Ava kissed me and that I was actually planning on asking you out that night. I will forever regret messing up my chances with the girl that I've been in love with forever but if you find it in your heart to ever forgive me. Then meet me at rivers edge at 7."

My eyes were slightly watered after reading that, I checked the time on my phone. 6:45.  "um, I have to meet somebody right now but I'll be back a bit later, love you" I say to my parents as I grab my keys and climb in my car.
