Braden's POV

I walked down the street towards the jewelers, I had to dodge passing families. Oh how I hoped to have a family with Audrey one day. Even if we adopted I'd be happy.

I walked into the upperclass jewelry store and was given a few strange looks. Lip ring. Shit!

I walked to a counter and browsed the selection of engagement rings.

"Hello, sir. How may I help you?" An older woman asked me

"I'm looking for an engagement ring for my girlfriend, Audrey."

"Ahh. Do you have an idea of what she may like?"

"Sort of, but I'm not exactly good with this stuff..."

"May I see a picture of her?" I pulled out my blue phone and showed her the picture of her and I onstage.

"Ahh a performing girl. I have just the thing." She unlocked the cabinet and pulled out a black ring studded with Sapphires.

"It's perfect. I'll take it!" I said

We walked to the register and she rang it up and laughed

"That will be 3,495$" I pulled out my wallet and she quickly said "We don't take credit cards."

"I wasn't planning on using a credit card..."

"Well there's no way YOU can afford that." She said

I pulled out the money and she tested them to make sure they weren't counterfeit

"Okay then." She bagged it an I walked to the door and turned around

"Oh excuse me m'am!" I said

She looked up and I gave her the birdie

****

At home I hid the black velvet box in my coat pocket and snaked my arm around Audrey's waist.

"Dress nicely. We're going out."

Audrey's POV

I took a quick shower and slipped into a short black dress. With long lace sleeves and black pumps. I grabbed a black clutch and applied eyeliner. I didn't bother to put concealer on my scars since they're out in the open anyway.

"Come on Audrey!" Braden yelled from the kitchen

"Cooooooming!" I yelled and together we walked out of the apartment

****

Braden drove for about an hour until we reached a fancy restaurant called "l'arbre de minuit"

We entered the restaurant and were seated immediately. Wow. Pretty good service.

After ordering something French the small band began to play another song, but not just any song. Our song. Fuckin Perfect by Pink.

Braden began to sing the song, he stood up. He moved to my side, everyone in the restaurant watched in awe.

Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

You're so mean (so mean) when you talk (when you talk)
About yourself. You were wrong.
Change the voices (change the voices) in your head (in your head)
Make them like you instead.

So complicated,
Look how we all make it.
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(Oh oh)

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and we try, try, try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?

(Yeah! Oh!)
Oh, pretty, pretty, pretty

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
(You're perfect, you're perfect)
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me.

There were tears sliding down my cheeks and my mascara was ruined, but it was worth it.

Before I could embrace him he did something a bit unexpected, he knelt down on one knee and took a box out of his pocket. The black velvet box was opened and it contained the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen.

"Audrey Elina Lilly Taylor, We haven't been together for very long, but I've known you since you were born and I need to spend the rest of eternity with you and only you. Will you marry me?" Braden asked

"Yes!" I jumped up and kissed him as he lifted me from the ground and spun me like In the movies. Yes, I the "emo fag" was having a movie moment.

The restaurant cheered and I couldn't stop smiling. I was getting married to my best friend. I could start living again.
