Nodding silently his heart melted when she said that the majority of her was screaming she needed him. When she said that she knew he could make this right but just didn't trust him. That he needed to regain her trust, his heart just sunk. It had taken those three years to gain that. For both of them, and this stupid kiss had taken that all from them. "I will gain thet back." he said softly. "'Tis not gone til there's no hope fer us. And there is hope fer us."
She said that she wanted him to hold her back in the courtyard. It was killing him even more now that he'd left her. He'd walked away. He shouldn't have walked away. He just couldn't bring himself to show his tears infront of them. His pride had held him back. "Ye wouldn' push me away." he said quietly. "Never. I've been stupid, more times then I can count. And this one takes the cake. I think the stupidest thin' I've done yet." Shaking his head "Ye've done nothin' wrong. Yer the one who keeps me sane from takin' and goin' off when I'm mad. If ye hadn' been here the last te years, I don' know what I would haf done. With me mum and dad moving and leavin' me te deal..." breaking off he shook his head.
As she stepped closer, he finally stepped right up to her and wrapped his arms around her, not caring if she was ready for it or not. If she wasn't she could hit him, or anything she wanted. "I'm not goin' anywhere near her if I can help it." he said softly. He couldn't see Sutton wanting to be near him either. "And thet's a promise." he whispered into her hair resting his nose against her head, his eyes stinging once again.
At her words, his thoughts drifted to the ring in his pocket. He'd kept it there from the moment he'd gotten it. Refusing to put it anywhere else. "What if I'm asking right now?" he asked as she spoke with chattering teeth. Taking a deep breath he stepped back away from her and before even a second thought, he went down to one knee, gazing up at her.
Amelia stiffened slightly as Isaac held her, unsure for just a moment if it was where she really wanted to be. She almost panicked and pushed him away before remembering that she wasn't doing that. With that thought in mind she forced herself to relax into his arms, burying her head into his chest and sniffling slightly as he spoke.
She hadn't realized that she'd been the one keeping him sane. She'd thought he'd had a pretty good grip on things by himself. Hell, that first year she hadn't even been able to admit that she loved him. Not to either of them, even though he was the only one who made her feel safe, even though he could so easily talk her down from one of her panic attacks, even on the first day that they met. And hey, that probably should have been an indication that he could deal with her. After all he'd gotten into the relationship knowing that she had problems from her past that she hadn't fully dealt with yet.
"Thank-you," she whispered, pulling back and giving him a bright smile. Amelia suppressed the guilt she was feeling about making Isaac promise her something like that. She knew that it smacked of her not really trusting him around the other girl, who by all accounts was friends with Ed as well. She was sure it would cause difficulties and she was almost tempted to tell him that she didn't mind if he saw Sutton, that the fact he'd been so willing to promise that he wouldn't was enough to reassure her. But she didn't. Because no matter the fact that Amelia could be nice when she wanted to be, could be selfless when she wanted to be, she was by nature a selfish person. So she said not a word, and instead just let herself hope that Isaac wouldn't come to resent what he'd promised her.
Amelia gasped in shock as Isaac got down on one knee. She knew that he'd be proposing soon of course. Hell, he'd all but proposed in the Courtyard in a roundabout, really sucky proposal way. And since she'd told him that she'd say yes she'd kind of already accepted his proposal as well. But like any girl who wanted to marry their boyfriend seeing him down on one knee made it all so much more real.
But she hesitated to give her answer. Because she didn't want to be impulsive. She didn't want her to accept and then for them to just push all their problems under a rug. Because if they did that a marriage wouldn't work out. But, they could have a long engagement...
Taking a deep breath she let it out slowly before nodding her head slightly. "Yes, yes I'll marry you," she said quietly, eyes soft as she looked down at him.
