Nobody keeps their middle school friends forever. You'll fail a math test once in your life. Your teachers will assign you seats away from your friends and your parents are going to ground you and take your phone. You're going to cry over boys who's names you're not even going to remember in 20 years. You're going to call your friends names behind your back when they make you mad and they're going to do the same to you. You're going to be on your own once in a while. Your opinions of people will change once you get to know them.You're going to find that one book in English class that you actually read. People are going to make fun of the music you like, and others are going to like it just the same. You're never going to finish all your homework. You're going to bullshit every essay you write and pray like you know what you're talking about. You're going to get lost in a neighborhood that you don't recognize and walk around until you find where you're going. You're going to sing sappy teenage ballads all alone in your room when no one else is home. You're going to dream of finally getting out of your town, and you're going to miss it as soon as you leave. You're going to take pictures that will make you cringe so much in 5 years. You're going to get whistled at, cheated on, yelled at, ditched by your friends, played by boys, laughed at. You're going to fall in and out of love and one day you might even really figure out what that word means. You're never going to stop looking for yourself. You are a teenager, so stop trying so hard, expecting so much, crying so often. Walk with your head held high. Quit talking crap on people. Talk a walk outside. Go to school and smile at everyone. Who knows, you might actually make it through.

"Roland!" I giggle loudly as he picks me up throwing me onto the bed. We had drove home from the ball leaving us alone in the house. He just gives me a playful smirk flipping my body over so i'm on my stomach, looking down. "What are you doing?" I ask but quickly blush when I felt his hands on my shoulders.

I first felt his lips on my shoulder making me shiver. Then I felt his hands running along my body. "R..Roland?" I whisper with a shaking voice. I felt my dress being unzipped slowly. He doesn't pull it off just turns me around. I smile staring into his gray eyes, even when they were filled with lust.

"You are beautiful." I hear him say before he crashes his lips into mine. I left my body warm at his worlds as my hands found their why to his head. Tugging at the soft hair on his head. He groans into the kiss making me blush even harder.

When we separate I felt his eyes not leaving mine as I stared right back at him. Standing up I let the dress fall off my body. Leaving me in a matching set. I could see his eyes darken as he moves his gaze down my body. Stepping out of the dress I walk over to him slowly.

His eyes roam my body as he strips off his suit jacket. I look away not liking him looking at all the scars that filled my body. "So beautiful." I hear him whisper as he grips my hip pulling him so i'm standing in front of his. His lips find my stomach, he starts kissing my scar softly making me smile at him.

"I want you." I whisper into his ear.

My naked body was pressed against his, still he was fast asleep. I should have been sleeping but the memory of what we just did was still fresh on my head. With it being my first real time, my body was aching even with him being gentle and perfect to me. He didn't rush me and always made sure I was comfortable or ok with what was going on. He even was grunting I love you as he finished.

Rolling over, my back was to him. I stared at the clock. It read 2:46, with a sigh I sit up. Holding the sheets to cover my skin from the cold air.

I was finally feeling complete after all these months of loss and heart aches. It was all thanks to him.

I believe that he is my soulmate, he is my other half. I know that he feels the same. He tells me it and I trust him. I trust him with my life. Even if this man breaks my heart and betrays me, I would still run to him. I wouldn't think twice.

I loved him and with that thought, I laid back down cuddling into him.

"Roland." I shout smacking his arm. "Everyone is here." I glare at him then the computer he is on. "You can stop working and come hangout!" I mumble making him chuckle.

"Angel." He warns making me go for another swing but of course he catches my wrist.

"Roland, come." I say with a pleading voice. I hear him mumble a bunch of curse words before he stands up. I clap my hands together happily. His hand finds my hip as we walk into a game room in our house. It was a shock to me when I found it, this house was just to big.

All four of the other Ronan brothers were sitting in the room. Oliver and Area both sat together in one part of the room, Hannah and Abigail on their laps. Elijah sat on his phone, being quiet like normal. And of course Emmaline was talking up a storm, what was different was where she was sitting. She was in Reeds lap, his arm protective around her stomach. I send them a smirk as everyone acknowledges our presents.

Over the last three months, people started to see this less as a business deal and more as a friendship. I was so happy and I felt everyone else was as well.

Elijah was extremely happy with the wars between everyone ending and just seems like he's in a good place.

Oliver and me worked together to help his mom. She was no longer with his father and had full custody of Phoenix, Oliver's sister. His father wasn't to happy but after a little he just moved on. After all that Oliver started to smile more. I was happy for him, even with him dating Abigail. Who actually has been not as bitchy as normal.

And me and Roland have been doing amazing running everything. We haven't messed up and our profit income had been rising by a lot.

For the first time in a long time I was extremely happy. Nothing was in our way anymore and I couldn't ask for better life.

I smiled softly as me and Roland sat down together. We stayed quite but listened to others talk. At some point I just watched him, not in a creepy way but I just got lost in my thoughts not being able to look away. I leaned closer to him kissing his cheek. "I love you."

He turns to me with a smile. "I'll never get bored of you saying that." He says leaning over kissing my lips slowly before he pulls away. "I love you, Oakley."

"You called me Oakley for once.." I frown. "Why the change? Why not angel."

He just chuckled. "Angel, Oakley. Your still you.." He smiles leaning in to kiss my cheek. "And that's all I need is you by my side. Forever."

"Forever?" I whisper repeating what he says.

"Forever." He whispers back making me smile brightly. I intertwine our fingers, his warm hands making me feel calm. "You want to know something else I want to call you?"

"Please tell me you don't have a mommy kink and want to call me mom or something." I cringe not wanting to hear that.

"That's gross." He groans letting his other hand land on my thigh.

"Then what?"

"Queen."
