Carlos POV
"Okay, who stole my boyfriend?" Seb went missing a while back, I wonder where he went. Soon, a truck reverses into the barn, my boyfriend aboard...with a piano? This is gonna be interesting. We all start to cheer, but all I could do is smile. I've never been speechless before.
"Carlos, hi" my baby smiles. "Um, I think you know that there's nothing greater than the love we share for power ballads originally sung by iconic women. Yes, you're my boyfriend, but you're also, sort of my hero. Here's something I never told you. That video when you were 13 has 1,000 views, I would say roughly 100 of them are from me. I was 12 years old and hiding in my room. In every sense of that word. Uh, your post kinda went viral, Semi-viral for Utah. Uh, I didn't know who you were, I barely knew who I was. I just knew that I felt inspired. So, I just kept on hitting repeat. So, thank you, and Happy Birthday."
He takes a seat at the piano and starts to play...oh, my goodness. One of the most iconic songs sung by an iconic Disney Channel woman. But he stops for a moment to say one more thing "Oh, and I hope it's not disappointing to the King of Fashion that I'm wearing the same suit I wore at homecoming. My parents say I have to wear this until I grow out of this."
He's so adorable.
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But, there's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach itEvery step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shakingBut I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held highThere's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climbThe struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breakingI may not know it
But these are the moments, that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep goingAnd I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'causeThere's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climbYeah
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climbYeah, yeah
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep your faith, keep your faith
WhoaThat was...incredible. I get up from my seat and walk to my boyfriend. He kneels down from his stage and gives me a hug. "Where did you come from? And why am I so lucky?"
"Wasatch County! And you just are." He leans in and presses his lips against mine. I can't believe I'm this lucky. "Speech! Speech! Speech!" Gina shouts and soon do the others. Seb grabs his microphone and hands it to me.
"Um...I'm not sure how I can thank you all for this. I've been accused of being speechless before. I can't thank you all enough for doing this for me. Everybody should have people who just get them."
"We love you, Carlos!" Kaden shouts.
"I've done a little research and if this is, in fact, Quinceañero, then he must choose his madrina. That means godmother."
