*Nicole POV*

Its day two of Coachella, the music is blasting and the sun is beginning to set. The party has only just begun. Kenny and I are dancing in the middle of the huge crowd and a band is playing a bunch of covers on stage. Right now their singing Sam Smiths song 'Like I can'. Emily came up from behind me and startled to dance too.

"You'll never guess what happened yesterday!" She screamed over the music

"What?"I asked

"Well, you know how I wasn't home until late last night?" She asked and I nodded,"Well... I met a guy. Jack Gilinsky to be precise" she laughed

"Oh my god Emily! Why didn't you tell me yesterday?!" I asked excitedly

"I dont know, I just wanted to make sure that he ment what he said and I wanted to see if he's my kind of guy before I told anyone" she explained over the loud music

"Im so happy for you!" I coed

"I know! Im so happy myself!" She agreed

"Your gonna have to introduce me soon!" I said

"Of course!"

With that, Kenny took my hand, pulled me away from the crowd and up a Fight of stairs that seemed to lead up to the stage

"Where are we going?" I asked walking up the stairs behind him

"You'll see soon enough baby" he said. He placed his hands delicately on my cheeks and passionately kissed my lips. The song ended and he pulled away.

"Thank you! Before we leave tonight, we'd like to invite two very special guests to the stage." One of the band members said

Immediately after he announced that, kenny looked back at me signaling me to follow him.

"Kenny Holland and his lovely girlfriend!" He welcomed us.

I have no idea why I'm here, but minus well go with it! I mean how many times do you get the chance to go on stage at Coachella?

There were two stools in center stage. Im guessing one for me and one for kenny. I sat myself down while someone came on stage and handed kenny a guitar. He turned to me, smiled, and started to play a song. My favorite song. 'It will Rain' by Bruno Mars.

If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor (Ooh)
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin' out the door.

He sang beautifully. Each and every word he sang was perfect. All I did was smile and occasionally mouth a few words to the song. The crowd was so quiet and patient. Once in a while I heared them singing along too. I also saw a few glow sticks waving in the air.

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Ooh, if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin' "There goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy"

But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

Oh, don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye),
Don't you say (don't you say) goodbye (goodbye)
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
And just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-ain

When he finished the song, the crowd roared with applause and cheering. I looked back at kenny who was now standing up with his guitar was leaning up against the chair. He held out a hand, so I took it and stood up with him. Still smiling like an idiot.

Then he spoke.

"Nicole... I love you" he said into the microphone as the crowd awed,"The past two and a half years I've spent with you was beyond amazing. Your...beyond amazing." He smiled still holding onto my hand.

Wait. He couldn't be doing what I think....

"I understand that was short, but I'm not so good at speeches." he slighty laughed and nervously looked down at my hand before continuing,"Nicole, I love you. And I would like to spend the rest of my life with you."

He got down on one knee and held out a little black box that was holding the most gorgeous ring I've ever seen. At this point, I'm covering my mouth in shock and crying my eyes out.

"Nicole Lawley, will you marry me?"

When I was about to answer, I glanced into the crowd. But saw something I never thought I'd see again. My happiness disappeared. I saw Jc and Kian staring at me with a confused look painted on their faces. This is bad. I looked back down at kenny who was now looking at me worrily. I guess he saw my facial expression when I laid my eyes on Jc and Kian. Of course I want to marry kenny. But what I dont want is for my brother and his friends to know I'm alive. I panicked.

So I ran.
