OMG i'm so sorry it took so long for me to update, i was just stuck about where to go with this story, so I decided this is the last chapter... :'(
There is going to be a epilogue, but not a sequel this time, I'm to busy with school and stuff, so I wouldn't have time to do it now. But if you really want one, just tell me in the comments and maybe I'll make one in the future :) xxxxx

George POV
"Boys, dinner is ready!" shouts Kathryn. He carries Cadee downstairs, while I am walking behind him. Callum and Victoria are also back home and they are sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for us. Victoria gets up as soon as she sees Josh and runs to him. She hugs him and after we just sit down for dinner.
I just feel like we're all one, big family. It feels safe to be here, safe to be with Josh again. I don't have the feeling anymore, that someone is watching me or anything like that. We can just go on with our lives right now.
Josh grabs my hand under the table and rubs with his thumb over it.
"I love you" he mouths to me.
"I love you too" I mouth back to him.
After dinner we just go back to my house for a little while, and after that we get into my car, which was still at Kathryn's house. We are just going to drive home through the night, because we both just want to get back there. Cadee is asleep in the backseat and Josh is sitting next to me, while I'm driving. Our hands are intertwined in between the two of us.
At around 12 o'clock we reach our house and I carry Cadee inside, because Josh his ribs hurt. We both get upstairs, Josh walks into the bathroom and I put Cadee in her bed. I close the window, the curtain and kiss her forehead, before walking out of the room and closing the door. I can see that the light in the bathroom is on, so I walk there and knock on the door. When Josh doesn't answer, I slowly open it and peek around the door. Josh is sitting on the side of the bath, his head in his hands, his hands pulling his hair.
I kneel down in front of him, grabbing his hands and pulling them away from him. He still doesn't look up at me.
"How could I have been so stupid to let something like this happen? It was all my fault, it was my fault that you and Cadee were in danger. I don't think I could ever forgiven myself if anything had happened to you." He says, sobs leaving his lips.
"What are you talking about? None of this was your fault Josh! Don't you dare to ever think that again." I say to him.
"Don't lie to me George. You know it. You know that none of this would've happened if I wasn't with you. Then you would've had a normal life, without all the drama, without getting hurt. It was all my fault and I'm so fucking sorry." Josh is shaking right now, because of all the emotions. He's never been someone who's good at coping with emotions and hard moments.
"My life would have been miserable without you. You have no idea how hard it was, while you weren't here around me for the past time. I need you in my life, josh. Don't you ever think otherwise." My voice is shaking, my palms are sweating and my eyes are full of tears, ready to spill over.
"I'm so sorry Georgey." Josh says. He gets up, pulling me to my feet and wrapping his arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him tight.
"Stop apologizing" I whisper in his ear, while the tears are breaking free.
"Sorry" he says. "I mean, uhm, okay" he says and I can just hear the small smile tugging at his lips. A soft laugh comes out of my mouth and I pull back a little to look at his face.
"You are so stupid" I say, slightly smiling. "You're lucky I like stupid people" I softly kiss him and he kisses me back exactly the same.
When we pull back after a few minutes, Josh places his head in the crook of my neck.
"Let's go to bed, I'm tired" he whispers in my ear. I turn around in his arms, so my back is touching his chest and I slowly start walking. He kisses my neck slightly and we reach our bedroom. He slips his arms away from me and we both strip down to our boxers and get into bed. I snuggle up to Josh his bare chest and put my head on it. With my fingers I quietly trace down his bruises. He grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers.
"I love you" he whispers.
"I love you too" I close my eyes and Josh kisses my forehead.
The next morning I wake up, with two little hands playing with my hair. I open my eyes and see that Cadee is sitting on Josh's pillow. I sit up and Cadee wraps her arms around my neck.
"Hey baby girl, where is daddy?" I ask her when I put her on my lap.
"He had a prise for you. But you have to wait until daddy gets home"
"A surprise?" Cadee nods. "Oh okay. well, are you hungry?" She nods again and I get up, placing Cadee on my hip. I walk down the stairs, into the kitchen, putting Cadee on top of the counter.
I grab two plates and one of them has a small paper on it.
Good morning babe x
I made the both of you some breakfast, it's in the fridge. I made it with a lot of love ;)
Please put some clothes on after and I'll text you some more details when I'm done. I have a surprise for youuu
Xxx Joshy
I look at the paper and start smiling. He's so adorable.
"What is that, daddy?" Cadee asks me, grabbing the paper out my hands.
"A sweet note from daddy" I say, while walking towards the fridge. I open the door and see that there are two plates with pancakes, eggs and toast on it. The big one is for me, the small one for Cadee. I grab both of them and place them on the dinner table. Cadee is playing with the small paper and i carry her to her chair. I place the plate in front of her and she attacks the pancakes right away, which makes me chuckle. I sit down and start eating.
When I'm done and pretty much all of Cadee her food is on her face, in her hair, or on the floor, I take the plates away and the doorbell rings. I walk to the front door and see Kathryn standing there, with a smile. Opening the door, she quickly walks in and hugs me.
"Hey darling, why are you still in your pajama's? Or well, if you can call football shorts a pajama." she laughs.
"I was just going to get ready. But why are you here? I actually need to leave soon."
"Josh made me come here. Something about a surprise for you" she wiggles with her eyebrows. "so he asked me if I could watch Cadee for the day, so the two of you could have a private day." I nod and walk into the kitchen, where Cadee is still sitting. Kathryn starts laughing when she sees her, food all over her. "Dod you two have a food fight or something?" she jokes.
"No, she had one by herself, like usual. But I'm just going to change" i say and starting walking upstairs. I can hear Cadee laugh and Kathryn talking to her.
I walk into our bedroom, grabbing some dark jeans, a white plain t-shirt and some boxers, before walking into the shower and putting it on. While stripping down, I can hear my phone buzz. I pick it up and see a text from Josh.
From: Joshhh
Come to the woods 5 mins from our house in 20 minutes, love you xx J
I smile and decide not to reply. I step into the shower, quickly rinsing every part of my body and wash my hair, before stepping back out and putting on my clothes. Looking into the mirror, I see that my hair looks awful, so I grab my comb and put it in place.
When I'm all done, I've got five minutes left to get to the woods. I run down the stairs, grab my shoes from the hallway, trying to put them on, while hopping into the living room, where Kathryn is playing with Cadee.
"I'm going to be back soon, baby girl." I say to her. She gets up and runs to me, wrapping her arms around my leg. I pick her up, kiss her forehead and place her back on the ground. "Bye Kathryn"
"Bye!" She says when I walk out and I quickly start walking as soon as I get outside. After about five minutes, I reach the entrance of the woods. I look around, but don't Josh anywhere. But there is a tree which has a letter attached to it. I walk to it and it has my name on it. I grab it and open the envelope.
Walk into the woods and go left onto the small path, at the tree with the red cross on it x
That's what it says, so I start walking into the woods, looking the tree with the red cross. After a few minutes of walking I see the tree and walk onto the small path, which has another tree with a letter on it. Once again I open the envelope and read what's inside.
Follow the rose petals and they will lead to me x
I start walking again and see a lot of rose petals all over the path. I start smiling at how sweet all of this is and soon enough the rose petals stop, but there is another letter.
Sorry, i was out of rose petals =$ but just follow the ribbons on the twigs x
I chuckle and see some ribbons. Josh is so stupid, but it's really sweet of him to all do this.
I start walking again and after a few minutes I get to a huge, open field with one, big, beautiful tree in the middle of it. I look around and notice someone standing under the tree and immediately recognize it as Josh. I smile and start walking to him. He sees me coming and starts smiling. He starts walking towards me too and grabs my hands in his, walking back to his previous spot, underneath the tree. I intertwine our fingers and he pecks my lips.
"Thanks for coming" He smiles, looking right into my eyes. I just smile at him. "So yeah, I...uhm.....made you come her, because of...uhm.. yeah. Wow, this is harder than I thought it would be." he takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I rub my thumb over his hand and he opens his eyes.
Josh POV
Omg I can't do this, what if he says no?
My breathing fastens and I open my eyes, looking right into George his gorgeous ones. I take a deep breath and start talking.
"George,when i look into your eyes, I see my wonderful boyfriend, who I want to make my husband one day. I look at you sleep and i think that all i want to do when I grow up is be the perfect man for you. I don't care what job, where we live, how much money we have. All I care is that you are by my side. We've been through a lot, but we came out even stronger than we already were. We can take the world together, as a family. I love you so much. George..." He's looking at me, his eyes look glassy, because of tears he has in his eyes. I put my hand in the pocket of my jacket, grab the small, black box, get down on one knee, open it, showing him the ring and look up at him.
"Will you make the happiest man alive, by marrying me?" I ask him, looking up at him, biting my lip.
He covers his mouth with his hands, staring at me with wide eyes. But he still didn't answer yet, which makes me even more nervous.
Maybe I shouldn't have asked it, maybe it was to soon. We've been through a lot lately, maybe he isn't ready yet. Oh my god, how could I ever be so stupid?
"Oh my, Josh. Of course I will" George suddenly says. A huge and bright smile finds it's place on my face. I slowly place the ring on his finger, while we both are shaking. I slowly get up and George places his arms around my neck and mine finds their way around his waist.
"I love you so much Josh" George says and he kisses me passionately and finally all of his tears come out, which makes me do the same.
"I love you too, so fucking much" I whisper when we pull back. George places his head in the crook of my neck, while I place mine of top of it and we stay like this for quite a while.
"I'm so happy I can finally call you my fiancee, and soon I can actually call you my husband." George says softly, which makes me smile.
"Me too, I was actually scared you were going to say no. But I'm so glad you didn't" i take a deep breath and we pull back little, so I can look in his beautiful eyes.
"I would never say no. I love you to much for that" He says and I kiss him again.
