*It has been a week and a half. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Lizzie is filming right now and you just got to the set to hang out and watch filming. You're walking through the hall of the studio to the set that Lizzie is at.
You pass Jared.*

Y/N: Hey, are you guys done?

Jared: I am. Lizzie has this long monologue that she is doing though.

Y/N: Oh okay.

Jared: Well I'm off. Happy Holidays!

Y/N: You too!

He waves and walks away.

You walk to where Lizzie is filming and stay really quiet because the cameras are rolling.

Lizzie saying her lines: —and how will I ever know? Do I simply need accept that this is my life now. All I wanted was to know for sure.
She looks down at the ground and sits on the edge of the prop bed.

Director: Cut! That was perfect Lizzie, great work taking the notes on that one. That's a wrap for the next few days everyone. Enjoy the break!

Everyone claps.

You go over to Lizzie and sit on the bed with her.

Y/N: Hi. You were wonderful. I really like the subtlety of that scene.

Lizzie: Well it wasn't always subtle.
She laughs and pulls at a loose string on her costume.
I was really over-acting and Michael said to tone it down a bit.

Y/N: Either way it was really good! Ready for dinner?

Lizzie: Yes, please!

Lizzie goes and gets changed into her regular clothes.

Y/N: I really like that shirt by the way!

Lizzie: Oh thanks I actually got it from Ashley.

You take her hand and walk out to the parking lot.

Lizzie: So how was your day?

Y/N: Good. I caught up on some emails and replied to some stuff on social media. Then I was working on some choreography. I haven't done that in a while and I thought I might like to do a new solo for the next show.

Lizzie: Sounds fun, except for the social media part. That stuff used to be fun for me but now it just stresses me out.

Y/N: It doesn't have to be stressful. You don't have to post all the time or listen to the pressure from fans or all of the hate comments. I just like getting to share fun things that a I do and stuff.

Lizzie: Good point. I do sometimes miss it cuz I feel out of the loop, ya know? Like I'm the last one to hear about things. Maybe I'll re-download Instagram.

Y/N: Well it's up to you but just so you know I would make sure to kick anyone's ass who tries to bully you!
You both laugh.

Lizzie: So do you have a theme for your solo yet?

You smile and kiss her before getting in the car. After you get buckled in you turn to face her.

Y/N: Yeah, I do. It's about you. About how
you make me feel more alive and like myself than I have my entire life.

Lizzie puts her hand over her mouth to hide her smile but you pull it away and kiss it.
You guys drive home.

*Two days later*

You run into the bedroom and jump on top of Lizzie.

Y/N: You have to get up because I want to open presents and I know you'll be mad if I do it without you!

Lizzie: Ow!

She sits up.

Lizzie: I would've come if you just asked. You didn't have to jump on top of me! I'm gonna have bruise on my leg now!

Y/N: Sorry.
You kiss her nose.

She stands up and lifts you up, carrying you into the living room. You run to the kitchen and come back with two mugs of hot chocolate with marshmallows. You set one down on the coffee table in front of Lizzie.

Lizzie: Thank you! I can't believe this is our second Christmas together!

Y/N: I know right?!

Lizzie: I couldn't be happier!

Y/N: Me either! Presents now?!

Lizzie: Presents now!

You go over to the tree and pick up a box from underneath, it is wrapped in red wrapping paper and has a gold bow. You sit back down and open it. Inside is a Magnolia scented candle.

Y/N: Ooh I love the smell! I've been wanting more candles for my dorm.

Lizzie: Good! I wasn't sure which scent to get.

Y/N: It's perfect. Thanks!
You kiss her.

You each open several more presents(from each other and your friends and family). Then Lizzie hands you a small box wrapped in tissue paper.

Y/N: For me?
You put your hand to your chest in fake surprise.

You take off the tissue paper and it is a black velvet box.
Your heart starts to beat quickly as you realize what could be inside. You hesitate before opening it and look at Lizzie.

Lizzie: Go ahead.
She smiles.

You slowly lift the lid and...
It is a small gold locket. You slightly sigh internally, but then you smile because it is a very thoughtful gift.

Lizzie: Do you like it?

Y/N: I love it!

Lizzie: Open it.

Inside is a picture of you and Lizzie at the beach at sunset. She knows this is your favorite picture of the two of you.

Y/N: I absolutely love it! Now I'll always have you close to my heart, even when you're far away.

Lizzie: That was the idea!

She comes over to you.
You put your hand on the side of her face and look into her eyes. You remind yourself that you are still young and still in college, you shouldn't be disappointed that she didn't propose. She probably hasn't even thought about marrying you.

Lizzie: What are you thinking about Y/N?

Y/N: Just that I love you.

She kisses you with deep passion, you feel full and complete. You trail your fingers through her hair as you continue to kiss. You smile into her lips and your disappointment fades. You assume that Lizzie thinks that you aren't ready to get engaged. Maybe she's right?

Little do you know, Lizzie has already started looking at rings...

Authors note:
Idk if I said this before but the movie that Lizzie is currently filming is called
"Tell them all."
