"That's actually how I met Cove's dad. The moms of our homeroom style class made us all meet up and go bowling. He was really bad at bowling. But that's beside the point," Brooke said smiling looking down at the table.
"You don't talk much about him...

"Hello?" She said with confusion in her voice.
"Hey, How are you?" Clay asked.
"I'm doing alright? How are you?" The girl said, still confused.
"I'm doing good, really good actually. Do you happen to have a minute to talk?"
"I mean, sure, I guess. Can I ask why you are calling Clay," She asked.
"Yeah, did you happen to know Brooke's ring size?"
"Wait, Are you going to Propose?" Avery yelled over the phone.
"Ave-"
"Clay, are you proposing to my sister?" Avery asked slightly calmer, but still very excited.
"Yes, but I need to know her ring size first," He laughed.
"6, do you have an idea of what kind of ring you want to get? She likes a certain kind. Shit, let me find the Pinterest boar-"
"Avery, I already have the Pinterest board," He said, still grinning from how Avery reacted.
"H-How do you have the Pinterest board? I thought I was the only person that had it," Avery said, confused.
"Avery, if you google Brooke, it comes up. A lot of my fans found it and sent it to me. It's not a private board," He chuckled harder than before.
After a moment of silence, Avery broke the silence, "Clay, are you sure you're ready for this?"
"I- Yes. Every time I think about my future- well, there is no my future. There is just our future because I can't imagine a future where I don't wake up to her every morning. And she is supporting me through everything that I am exploring career-wise, and I'm fully prepared to support her through whatever career endeavors she has. I love her, and I want - It's her, and I don't have to justify why. It's her; I was created to lift her up in life and be there for the entirety of our lives. It's her, and it's always been her. I was just too stupid to see that when I was young."
After another few seconds of silence- this time a little longer- Avery said, "You know if you do anything?"
"If I do anything to hurt her, you have my permission to hurt me and delete my youtube and twitch. I promise."
"Shit, you do mean it."
"Of course I mean it. I also was wondering if I have your blessing? I know that she isn't yours, and typically I would've asked your parents, I just-"
"Clay, she is her own person. You don't need my permission," Avery smiled.
"I didn't mean for it to come off as me asking for permission, just more like a do I have your support?"
"Obviously," Avery chuckled.
"Also, another question, When you come out for Cove's birthday in a few weeks, would you go ring shopping with me? I know that I have the Pinterest board, but I want it to be perfect."

"September 18th," Clay said when joining the discord call.
"What is happening on September 18th?" George asked, slightly confused.
"Is that MCC?" Nick asked.
"No, that's the 25th," George said.
"So, what's the 18th?" Nick asked.
"I would tell you if you would just shut up," Clay laughed. "That's when I'm going to propose to Brooke."
"Wait, really?!" George exclaimed.
"That's sick; what are you doing?" Nick said.
"Yes, really, and I'm not quite sure what exactly I will do or say. Avery and Karl are going to help me execute it."
"I'm sure she will say yes,"
"I hope she will. I've done a lot wrong in the past, but I've grown, and I hope she recognizes that."
"I mean, you also live together," George laughed.
"What does that mean," Clay smiled.
"Well, I get what he means, she already lives with you, and she knows that you've grown. It just means that you have to be sure that this is the next step in your relationship."
