"I'm gonna propose to Lexie.." I say.
"HELL YEAH!" Bryce yelled.
"YEAH LETS GO!" Griffin yelled.
"WHEN ARE YOU GONNA DO IT?!" Charli asked.
"Tonight.." I say.
I look down and blush.
"I'm nervous.." I say.
"Don't be."
"You should be."
Chase and Griffin said at the same time.
"Chase he shouldn't be nervous!" Griffin yelled.
"He should!" Chase yelled.
"Nervous about what?"
We all turn around, Lexie walks out of our room.
Wearing a beautiful dress.
I gulp.
"N-Nothing." I say.
"Yeah what he said." Griffin says.
"You look.."
"What?" She asked.
"Uh.." I stutter.
"Spit it out stupid." Chase said.
"B-Beautiful." I finally say.
"Thank you." She said, looking down.
I turn around to face the guys.
All of the girls go to Lexie.
"I'm freaking out.." I say.
"You shouldn't be."
"You should be."
Chase and Griffin said at the same time again.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Griffin yelled, pushing Chase.
"Listen Jaden, you got this." Bryce said.
"But-"
"She will say yes." He said.
"Even better, she's gonna say HELL YEAH!" Nick yelled.
"Okay..I got this." I say.

Time skip..at the restaurant.

"I DON'T GOT THIS!" I yelled.
"Just do it!" Bryce yelled.
I pull the ring out of my pocket.
"But should I-"
"Just do a cringe ass speech about her get on one knee and say the 4 words." He said.
"Will you marry me."
"Okay..okay I'm gonna do it." I say.
"Good, now go." He said, pushing me.
"Oh shit." I whisper.
Griffin cleared his throat.
"Okay everybody shut the fuck up." Madi said.
"Madi.." I groan.
"What's going on?" Lexie asked.
"Oh fuck." I say.
"You got this." Bryce said, patting me on the back and sitting down in his seat.
"C'mere baby.." I say.
She got up from her chair and stood in front of me.
I take a deep breath.

"Ever since..we met. I always knew we would be together. When you jumped into my arms, it just felt..right." I whisper.
She covered her mouth with both of her hands.
"I've said this so many times but..I wanna spend the rest of my life with..you."
"Say the words." Chase said.
"Shut up!" Calvin yelled.
"Oh my god.."
"Lexie..will you marry me?" I say, getting down on one knee.
(Ew this is awkward)
She nodded.
"Yes." She said.
"YEAH LETS GO!" Chase yelled.
Everybody started to clap, and cheer.
I slide the ring on her finger..
"NO! I OBJECT!" A familiar voice yelled.
"Oh shit." I say.
Mads walked up to us.
"MADS FUCK OFF!" Bryce yelled.
"You can't get married." She said, grabbing Lexies hand and taking the ring off.
"Stop!" Lexie yelled.
I pushed her.
Mads threw the ring.
Madi caught it before it went of the ledge.
"You bitch." Lexie said, about to strike.
"No no no, it's not worth it." I say, pulling her back.
Madi passed me the ring, and I put it back on her finger.
"Jaden is mine." Mads said.
"My ring says otherwise." Lexie said, holding her hand up.
"I'm trying to have a great time with my friends and boyfriend but you are always there!" Mads yelled.
"Boyfriend?" Me and Lexie say.
"Sam! Anthony! Avani!" She yelled.
Lexies eyes widened.
They all walked over to us.
"Hey Lex.." Anthony said.
Lexie rolled her eyes.
"Lexie." Avani said.
"Avani." She said.
"And this is my boyfriend, Sam!" Mads yelled.
Bryce and Chase stood behind me.
I was about to strike, but they held me back. (AHA HE WAS ABOUT TO stRikE)
"WHY THE HELL TOU BE GOING AROUND SAYING JADENS YOURS WHEN YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FUCKING FACE!" Kouvr yelled.
(Holy shit)
"He only likes you so he can get in your pants." Lexie said.
Madi and Charli laughed.
"How do you know that?" Mads asked.
"Because I've been threw it! He's like a fucking kidnapper! He keeps you there until he's finished. You will go to bed with bruises! And scratches all over you! You'll cry yourself to sleep, you'll beg to leave. But he won't care." She said.
"That's not true-"
Lexie cut Sam off mid sentence.
"You shut up! Because you know it's true you don't care about anybody but yourself, you don't care what happens to people. I'm so glad I left you because I've found somebody..so much better than you!" She yelled.
"I don't care what you do, or say!" She yelled.
"Because nothing..will drift us apart.." she whispered, as she slowly grabbed my hand.
I look over at everybody else, almost all the girls are crying..
Sam looked at her up and down, Anthony and Avani look ashamed.
As they should be..
Lexie let go of my hand, and started to run..
I let her go..
Anthony and Avani walked up to me.
"Jaden..I never knew it was that bad." Avani whispered.
"I need to talk to you." I say, grabbing Avani's hand and running inside.
"You threatened Madi?" I ask her.
She looked down.
"Tell me." I say.
She shook her head.
"I didn't..Mads threatened me. She said she would hurt you, Lexie, and Madi. She said to get Madi in on it. And tell her I would hurt you.." she said.
"It was..so hard. Being that mean to Lexie. I- I destroyed her sketchbook, all her drawings the drawing of her mother! But..I had no choice.." she said.
"What about Anthony?" I ask.
"He's in it too.."
I took a deep breath, and walked back outside.
"You've lost your fucking mind." I say to Mads.
"What do you mean? Mads asked, taking a glance at Avani.
"Why the hell have you been going around threading people?"
"Why would you think that?"
"Oh shut up Mads." Anthony spoke up.
"You know exactly what he means, the fact you ruined my friendship with my best friend is just bullshit." He said.
"I don't care what you do, just don't hurt them. You can't hurt me."
"Anthony stop!" Avani yelled.
I take a deep breath.
"I have to find her." I say.
"Go." Bryce said.
I smile and start to run, searching for her.
I look everywhere, and I start to lose hope.

"Used to steal your parents liquor, and climb to the roof. Talk about our future, like we had a clue. Never planed that one day, I'd be losing you.."
( Lexie is normal, Jaden is bold)

"I know that voice.." I whisper.
I walk around the corner, Lexie stand at the edge.

"I'm another life..I would be your girl. We'd keep all our promises..be us against the world."

"In another life..I would make you stay.." I sang with her..
She quickly turned around.
"So I don't have to say, you were. The one that got away.."

"The one that got away.." We both say..
I stand next to her. (Ew I hate myself)
"You okay?" I ask her.
She looks down.
"I-I'll be okay." She said, looking down.
I lift her head up.
Her eyes sparkle.
I lean in, she does the same.
I softly kiss her lips, she kisses back.
We both pull back.
"I love you.." I say.
She smiled.
"I love you too."

(UGH THIS WAS TERRIBLE UGH EW)
