"I cant do this." Jack says, taking in some deep breaths.

"She's obviously going to say yes." Luke shakes his head.

The sun is setting, meaning Jack's plan is about to be put into place and to say the least, he's panicking.

Jack and the boys managed to set up an area outside of the villa without the girls noticing.

It all worked out great, he knows Hailey will most likely say yes but a small part of him is doubting it.

"Jack, go get her now." John says, pushing him into the room where Hailey is.

"Oh, hey."

"Hi, uh, are you ready?" He asks.

"Yes, just curling these last pieces of hair."

"Okay, so, we're not going out out but i think it will still be nice."

"Okay. Where are we going?" Hailey questions, turning off the curlers.

"Pretty much just outside of the villa. Let's go now." He drags her, not wanting the sun to set before they get to see it.

"Oh my god, calm down." Hailey laughs, catching up beside him.

He leads her to the set up, it has some chairs they moved from inside the villa and a projector Jack managed to bring considering it is reasonably small.

"Aw, this is cute." Hailey smiles, taking a seat.

"Yeah, uh, so i'm going to play this now."

"Okay." Hailey laughs at Jack's sudden awkwardness.

The video plays, it has multiple videos and pictures of Jack and Hailey when they were together, even bringing a small tear to Hailey's eye at some of the forgotten memories.

After it finishes, she turns to Jack, wiping under her eyes in order to not ruin her makeup.

He fumbles through his pockets. "So, i wrote this and should i read it or should you?"

"Jack, just read it." Someone calls from the house, having them both laugh.

"Are they watching?"

"No, they're probably just passing by." Jack says loud enough for them to hear. "Okay, i don't think i'll be able to say it."

"Jack, it's fine." Hailey comforts, passing him back the letter. "Take your time."

He takes in a deep breath, rubbing his forehead.

"Should i just read it?" Hailey asks.

Jack nods, ripping off the end so he could say that himself.

"I just need to say that bit." He laughs awkwardly, handing her the paper.

Hailey,
  
   I had to write a letter to tell you this, mainly because i can never string a proper sentence together when it comes to you.
   It sounds cheesy, i know, but i wanted to say this in my own words, which it still is but i'm sure you get the point.
   I've enjoyed this time we've been able to spend together, imagine if we still hated each other.
   I'm thanking you for giving me a second chance, seriously, you are an angel.
  You have proved that you'll always be there for me, there for anyone actually, you're the first one to comfort anyone when something happens which is why you're so special and everyone loves you.

The letter stops there, being torn. She looks up at Jack, curious as to what the end will say.

"Uh, you know i'm not the best at words and stringing together good sentences but i guess what i'm trying to say is that i've been waiting for this opportunity together and i thought that now would be the best time."

"Best time..?"

Jack stands up, taking Hailey's hands in his so she stands in front of him, staring up to gaze into his eyes.

The small candles around them bring some light in, the sun having pretty much set now.

"Hailey, i've been thinking about this for much more than weeks, i've been waiting for the right time to ask you this. Will you be my girlfriend?"

She looks in Jack's eyes, her hands becoming sweaty.

If you asked, she did expect it, but now it actually happened she doesn't know what to say.

"Of course i will." She smiles up at the boy, the boy she's learned to love and adore once again.

He smiles, pulling her into a hug, very much relieved at her response.

"Thank god." He mumbles against her ear.

When he pulls away from the hug, he takes her cheek in his hand, steadying her face.

He leans in, closing the space he's been waiting to, their lips moulding together.

They hear cheers, familiar cheers from their friends.

Hailey smiles, withdrawing from the kiss, looking around for them.

"Ruined it?"

"A tiny bit." Hailey laughs.

It's strange how in such little time how much feelings can rise again. Her feelings for Jack have been lying beneath and have just been let no out again, like a butterfly escaping from a cocoon.

"So, how long have you been planning this?"

They both take their seats again. "I told Declan on that day you went to the shoot."

"Aw, you put so much thought into this."

"Hailey, can i ask you something?" Maura asks rhetorically running over to the pair, cutting off their conversation. "Remember when i told you that you'd thank me for putting you on that date? You can thank me now."

"Thank you." Hailey giggles.

She nods, walking away from them.

"I want to hear all about it later!" She calls out before fully escaping their sight.

After Hailey and Jack finish their moment together, they go back into the villa, everyone waiting for them.

"Is it official?" Declan asks, starting a drumroll even though everyone knows the answer.

Jack takes Hailey's hand, raising it up, intertwining their fingers. "It's official." He announces.

Everyone shouts in celebration, forming a huge hug around the two.

"I got champagne for this."  Declan takes the bottle, handing it to Hailey.

Hailey and Jack open it together, the cork flying off, liquid spilling down the side of the bottle.

After filling everyone's glasses, Maura announces a toast for the two.

If you looked at this from the outside you would assume they were a newly married couple.

"To Jack and Hailey!" She shouts, raising her glass, everyone joining and repeating her.

a/n: to jack and hailey :)
