It was December 30th, 2020. I was planning on asking Jessie to marry me, I got the ring and everything.

"So, what cha' plan on doin' with Jessie?" Matt asked me.

"I'm gonna propose." I said.

"No shit! For real?" He asked, surprised.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with her." I said.

"Of course, ya got the ring already?" He asked.

"Sure do." I said, pulling a little box out of my coat pocket.

It was a nice diamond ring, nothing too fancy.

"She's gonna love that bro." Matt said.

"I sure hope so." I said, clearly nervous.

I got back home just in time before Jessie got home from Nikki's. Nikki had lived here too, she was a few minutes away.

I hid the ring in a safe place to where she'll never see it.

"I'm home!" Jessie says, walking in.

"Finally." I said, giving her a kiss.

"What cha' up to?" She asked.

"Just gettin' ready for the New Year." I said.

"I'm glad to spend it with you." She said.

She gave me another kiss.

We had hung out most of the day. 

It reached 10:00 PM, I was preparing to propose when it strikes midnight.

We met up at the park with Matt and the gang.

We all hung out until 11:58. It was go time.

Right when it struck midnight... I got on my knee.

"Jessie." I said.

She turned around, hand over her mouth.

"We've been together for 3 years, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." I said.

She started crying.

"Jessie, will you marry me?" I asked.

"Yes. Yes." She said, still crying.

I got up and kissed her.

Everyone clapped and cheered.

January 1st, 2021. My birthday was gonna be our wedding. I know it's only a few days after, but we just couldn't wait.

Within the few days we got everything prepared.

Then the day came. Our wedding.

~The day after the wedding.~

I can't believe Jessie is now Jessie Bakers. My wife. 

"Good morning Mr. Baker." She said, smiling.

"Good morning Mrs. Baker." I said, also smiling.

I gave her a kiss. Here's to marrying the love of my life after what we've been through. Here's to Avenged Sevenfold.
