I hadn't expected what had happened when we got back to Lima. Finn, Lexie, and Scarlett were still not telling me whatever it was that was going on. The last time they wouldn't tell me something was when Finn and Lexie went and brought Sam back for my sixteenth birthday.

It was pretty weird when we got back to Lima. They took me to McKinley and made me sit in the auditorium. It was quiet in there for a minute before Perfect by Ed Sheeran started. Finn and Lexie started singing the first verse, followed by Scarlett and Santana singing the next and all of them singing the chorus.

Without any hesitation, all four of them left the stage and ran over to me. Lexie grabbed my hand and ran me down the hallway. Outside of the doors, Tina and Artie stood and began singing the next verse, followed by Kurt and Blaine. Then, all eight of them sang the chorus, which led us back to the choir room.

My kids all stood in there, singing the last and final verse, and then there was something that really made me smile. At the end of the song, it says "Now I know I have met an angel in person and she looks perfect. I don't deserve this, you look perfect tonight."

Sam came out, looking fancier than I had ever seen him. "You're an idiot." I said through a laugh. "So, this took a while to orchestrate, but Finn and Lexie helped me. I don't really know what to say..."

"Gimme the ring."

They all just went quiet. "What?" I smiled. "Give me the ring." He handed me the small box that the ring was in. I took the ring out and slid it on my finger, followed by a room full of applause.

"Full circle." I mumbled.

"What?" Finn said from behind me.

"We have come full circle. Well, my relationship did. Think about it. Sophomore year, this is where we met. Senior year, this is where we actually said we were together. It just seems right for us to get engaged here too."

I smiled. I turned to Finn. "Did you ever think I would be engaged? Because I sure as hell didn't. You know? Me. The one who didn't even really have any friends until I started in a stupid club. One I had never thought I be in. A lot has changed since Freshmen year, for better or worse. I mean...it's crazy, you know? One minute, you're playing tag on the playground, the next minute you're crying over a break up or, hell, getting engaged. It's insane." 

I looked around the room, at all the familiar faces. "It's crazy. We went from some high school losers to some of the best friends we could ask for. Sure, there were a lot of fights that went down in this room. Duets, break ups. Half of the numbers we did were in this auditorium. We became adults here. No matter how old we were. And--this was beautiful, don't get me wrong--but I think the best thing that ever happened to me in this room...was meeting all of you guys." 

I looked around once more, this time, people were getting watery eyed. "Alright, no crying." I laughed a little. "Listen, I have to get to the break room because I left my laptop in there over the weekend and I don't want someone stealing it, but thank you for this. It was beautiful." I smiled and turned out of the choir room. 

I walked down the long hallway, admiring the ring on my finger. It felt weird, you know. I mean, if you went up to little fifteen year old me and said in five, six years you are going to be engaged to your soulmate, I would've laughed in your face and went to Spanish. I never would have thought like that. Everything like this seemed pretty crazy to me and I just...didn't understand how someone like me could ever end up so lucky. 

Finally, I had arrived at the break room, but nearly peed myself when I was scared when I walked in there. The rest of them, who hadn't been in the choir room, jumped out and yelled surprise, making me nearly knock everything off of the counter. 

"Oh you sons of bitches." They all laughed. "I was wondering where you guys were. Everyone was in the choir room, and I had no absolute idea where you guys were." 

In  front of me, stood Quinn, Puck, Tina, and Artie. I mean, by this time we were all laughing to hard for me to even care that they had scared me. "Congratulations, Miels. It's really surprising that you got engaged." I chuckled. "I said the same thing."

And for the rest of the day, we celebrated and we had fun. Just as we would have when we were in high school. In that moment, everything seemed perfect.
