He kissed me. I kissed back. We made out for a while. We pulled away. He put the ring on my finger. 

I kissed him on the cheek. I hugged him. He hugged me back. Then my phone went off. It was Tim. "Guys it's Tim." 

I said. We looked at each other. I answered. "Hello?" I asked. "Hi Ashley. Are the others with you?" He asked.

"Yes." I said. "Good because I have good news. Get ready to go back to East high. We just renewed for season 4." 

He said. I looked at the others. "Thank you so much. Can't wait to see you." I said. I hung up. Josh put his hand in the middle.

"What team?" Josh asked. "Wildcats!" Me and the others yelled. "What team?" He asked. "Wildcats!" We yelled.

"Wildcats?" He asked. "Get your head in the game!" We yelled. We started clapping. We started singing.

I grabbed a mic. "I know you are probably wondering how I know these people. They are my cast mates, my friends and fiancée.

I spent some time in Utah last year. That's where I met Roman. Then a few months later I found out that I got my first acting role.

I was going to be on high school musical the musical the series as Sarah ms. Jenn's niece. I knew that Roman was on the show at the time. 

So I didn't tell him. I showed up to the table read. He was shock. " I said. I grabbed his hand.


5 months later 


I'm in New York. Roman was going to be in Hamilton. I walked into the theater. I heard excited screamed. I turned around.

It was fans. "Oh my god. You're Ashley Shelton." One said. "Yeah. That's me." I said. "Can we take a selfie?" She asked.

"Of course." I said. We took a selfie. "It was nice you." They said. "You too. Enjoy the show." I said. I smiled. I walked into the theater.

I sat down. I went on my phone. I checked Instagram. I saw that I have a 1 million followers. 


2 hours and half later 


I walked outside. I went to the stage door. A few minutes later Roman walked outside. He walked over to me.

"Hey babe." He said. "Hey. You did great." I said. "Thank you." He said. "Your welcome." I said. My phone went off.

It was my mom. I answered it. "Hello?" I asked. "Ashley I need you to come to Maryland." She said. "What?" 

I asked. "Grandpa died. Me and dad are going to Maryland tomorrow." She said. "I will get there as soon as I can." 

I said. "Okay." She said. I hung up. He walked over to me. He hugged me. I hugged back. I started crying.
