Jace's P.O.V-

It had been an exhausting couple of months with everything that had been happening. I was glad it was all over. It had been a week or so since Aiden had got out of hospital and he was healing up nicely. We were as strong as ever. We barely ever fought or had disagreements though there were a few now and then but they were mostly stupid things that didn't matter. Like last week we fought because he wanted to go out but I didn't think he was healed enough. I refused to speak to him until he realized it was for his own good and when he did, he apologized and I forgave him. I couldn't stay mad at him.

I had been getting friendlier with Mason and Jacob now as well. We had hung out a couple times in the past week. Aiden had been there too obviously but now that I had gotten to know them, they were actually really nice and funny. Mason and Ella were pretty close now, they seemed really happy together which was cute and they looked like a great couple. Jacob had also gotten himself a girlfriend called Cara. She was very shy and kind but since we've gotten to know her she's opened up a bit more and is more friendly towards us all. We were all very happy in our relationships.

Tomorrow was Aiden's birthday and I couldn't wait to give him my gift or rather, go to it. One of my mom's best friend has a beach house about an hours drive from where we stay and when I suggested going somewhere with Aiden for his birthday, she kindly offered for us to use it. I was super excited about that. I had known about his present for a little over a month and trying to keep it a secret was difficult. Because I was so excited about it, I kept slipping up and almost asking him if he was excited or simple questions about it. Luckily, I remembered that he didn't know and he ended up just looking at me like I was crazy. I also got a photo of both of us printed and framed it to give to him. It was a nice photo and I really liked it. It was taken not long after we started dating and we look so happy in it which I love. I had written in small letters at the bottom right hand corner 'I love you'. It was simple but meaningful.

We were going to the beach house tomorrow. It was Thursday today but we were taking Friday off of school to go, not that Aiden knew this. His birthday was on the Saturday and I planned on taking him out for a nice dinner. I wanted to make it good. We're going from Friday and not coming back until Sunday night. Right now, I was trying my hardest not to tell Aiden as he lay on my bed. I just wanted to tell him and I didn't know whether to keep it a surprise or not. I figured I should just because it will be better when I tell him. Both my dad and his mom are in on it and I am really grateful that his mom likes me. I don't know what I would have done if she didn't.

Aiden had come over to mine about an hour after school to see me, even though he had seen me most of the day in school. We just couldn't keep apart from each other. We hadn't done anything exciting really, just watched a few movies and done some homework. Pretty boring if you ask me. I think Aiden was hoping I'd forget about his birthday because he hadn't mentioned it once. I definitely wouldn't forget it. I had this all planned for about a month and nothing would make me forget. He was going to be turning 17. It's not really an exciting birthday but still, I wanted to make it one. I think I should ask if he's as excited as me, even though he doesn't know what we're doing for it, he should still be excited for his birthday.

'Hey, Aiden?' He looked up from his homework, looking at me from my bed.

'What?'

'Are you excited?' I asked with a smile.

'For what?' He's playing dumb now thinking I've forgot it.

'Your birthday on Saturday?' He looked at me for a moment before smiling,

'You remembered?'

'Of course I remembered. I'm not gonna forget your birthday!' I said dramatically while rolling my eyes.

He just smiled once again before getting off my bed and walking over me. I smiled as he leaned down to me and kissed me. I loved kissing him. It always made me breathless and I loved it. It was addicting, I couldn't get enough. After a heated kiss, he pulled away smiling and I just put my head in his neck and cuddled him tightly. He chuckled for a second before hugging me back. Now that I thought about it, Aiden wasn't what he was made out to be. I had thought this before. He's just great. I seriously don't know what I'd do if we weren't together. It would break my heart if we ever split up. I love him too much. I know that we're only young but I really do believe we'll be together forever. I want to spend my life with him.

--------------------------

I rolled over with a grunt as my annoying alarm went off. I groaned and ran my hands over my face, not wanting to move from my comfy bed until I remembered all the plans I had for today. I grinned and quickly got out of bed. We were leaving around 12am and it was 10am just now. I figured we'd have more time to do things if we went earlier so that's what we were doing. I still hadn't told Aiden but his mom had told me she would have it covered. She was going to wake him up early and secretly pack a bag for him.

Once showered, I put on my clothes and started packing my bag. I made sure to grab the gift I had gotten him and left to go to his house. Luckily, for a while I had been taking driving lesson and eventually managed to get my drivers license so I could drive us there. My dad let me borrow his car for the weekend. When I reached Aiden's house, I almost tripped because of how excited I was. I knocked the door and his mom opened up.

'He's in the kitchen, wondering why he's up so early' She smiled. I just chuckled and made my way into the house as she motioned me in.

'Hey' I said when I walked into the kitchen. He looked shocked that I was there.

'Hi, what're you doing here?' He asked confused.

'Since it's your birthday on Saturday, I have a surprise for you'

'You didn't have to do anything for me' He told me and made a move to hug me.

'You better hurry up, we don't have all day. Come on!' I said cheerily.

He just looked at me before sighing and grabbing his bag that was placed next to the door. He put his bag in the trunk aside mine and opened the passenger door to get in. Once in, he leaned over and planted a kiss on my lips. I immediately responded. I started driving, very carefully I might add. I was still a little weary of driving since I wasn't exactly experienced but I was a decent driver. I just needed to keep my excitement at bay and not try to rush there. I would like us to get to the beach house alive.

The whole ride I could tell Aiden was dying to know where we were going but I didn't tell him once. He asked a few times but I was adamant that I wouldn't waste the surprise and he finally gave up asking. The hour long drive was over before I knew it and we were getting close. I knew Aiden was getting desperate, he was almost jumping in his seat. We rounded the corner and the house came into view. It was beautiful.

From what we could see, it was a two story beach house. It had long windows and it was made from wood. I could see the sea and the sand led right up to the house. It looked amazing, I just wanted to jump in the water. I turned to Aiden to see his jaw dropped. He looked at me, then to the house, then to me again and then pulled me into a tight hug.

'This is where we're staying till Sunday' I told him.

'Really?'

'Yeah..'

'I love you' He said and I smiled.

'I love you too, so much'

I reached the front of the house and parked the car. When we got out, Aiden took my hand in his and we went to check out the house. It looked even better inside. It was very nice and I just couldn't wait to go to the beach. This was going to be an amazing weekend.
