shapeshift

Chapter Fourty Five

We finally arrived at our destination and got everything set up for the show, meet and greets, and a few other odd and end things. I'd talked to Lottie about everything and she assured me Morgan would never cheat. I told her I planned on talking to him when I had the chance and that seemed to make her happy. I just never could find him to do so. The only time I did was when he was onstage for his soundcheck. Towards the end, I snuck up on the stage. He was about to leave when he saw me. He just stood and stared at me a few minutes before breaking down in tears. I did the same and fell into his arms.

"Spencer, I would never-".

"I know. I know you wouldn't" I say. "I love you so much". He pulled away.

"Spence, when she asked me to go with her the only reason I did was to tell her I hated her. I hate her. I love you. You're the person that I want. I promise" He spews. I run my fingers through his hair.

"Baby, I know. I believe you" I say.

"We-We made a statement. She took it back. It's gone" He stutters.

"Morgan, listen to me" I say, cupping his cheeks. "I am so in love with you that it makes me absolutely crazy. And, yes, I overreact a lot, you know that. I know you wouldn't do that. I trust you with everything I have in me, and I love you with all my heart. I swear".

"I love you too" I say. He leaned in and kissed me. It felt so strange to he standing in the middle of this stage with him. It was perfect.

"Babe, the reason I was coming to talk to you that day was because-".

"Because you felt weird when the girls mentioned marriage" He finishes my sentence. "I know. We've never talked about it before. Just like... we never talked about being a couple before and that causes issues. We never really talked about your drinking and that caused a problem. I kept secrets and that's caused problems. I think we just need to talk about our feelings more". We both laughed.

"I agree" I say. His smile slowly faded.

"So...what are your feelings?" He asked. "I mean...about...marriage?".

"Well, I mean, I want to he married one day. I want a big white house off a backroad on the hills on Tennessee. I want kids and animals and everything that comes with all of that" I say. A slight smile appeared when I looked into those Baby blues.

"What?" He asks.

"And...I want all of that with you". He smiled.

"You want to have my babies?" He asks.

"I'd have a hundred with you". He leaned down and kissed me again then pulled away. The smile hadn't left his face.

"Well, I'm glad you said that" He says. I raise an eyebrow.

"Why.".

"Because I want that with you too. I want the house and the dogs and cats and bunnies and everything else. I want all our babies to have your cute little smile and nose and brown hair and those blue eyes. I want you to be the person that stands beside me when I do everything in this life. I want you to be the girl I sing every song for on stage for the rest of my life" He spills. I had tears in my eyes. "Frankly, I don't think anyone else would put up with my ass". I laughed through the tears.

"I love you so much, Morgan" I say. He pulls me into him. He squeezed me for what felt like a lifetime when suddenly the lights in the arena went out except for a spotlight on us. The chorus to 'Madness' started to play. I pulled away and looked around. "What's happening?".

"Spencer Avery Stiles, I want you to be my wife. And, I want to be your husband" He says. I just smiled and shook my head thinking 'one day i will be'. I don't know why I didn't say it. I just couldn't help but smile. That's when  my smile turned to more tears as Morgan slowly got down on one knee. "Spencer Stiles, will you marry me?". Was this real life? I kept nodding my head yes.

"Yes! A million times, yes!" He slid the ring on my finger and scooped me into his arms. We squeezed each other and cried. Then I felt the girls wrap their arms around us. So many tears and so much love. This was it. These were my people. Through the Madness.

THE END!
