Book two: Impractical (Crawford and Chris Collins)

Chapter 20

See, Cari is that "party chick" or "stoner girl", in highschool. Her and Max are drunk, high, or both every weekend. She is absolutely gorgeous though, and I'm completely jealous of her.

"Tonight's very important," She whispers, looking through my closet for something for me to wear.

"This is pretty," she pulls out a white, sweetheart dress, that's larger at the bottom.

*******************
Crawford had worn a black suit, with some nice dress shoes. As I was wearing the previously talked about dress with black flats.

"Everyone here is so... Prissy and arrogant," I remark after finishing my last bite,

"That's because they're jealous of your beauty," he smiles, looking into my eyes. He grabbed my hand across the table, and began stroking my palm with his thumb.

"I love you," The words fall from my mouth with emotion.

"I love you too," he returns.

An old woman looked at us with happiness, and the husband, as assuming, smiled too.

"You two don't know what love is!" Some old, rich looking-couple say to our big scene.

"We do know what love is... Its all we have towards each other," Crawford stands up, grabs something out of his pocket, getting down on one knee.

"Ellie Ingrid Knight, I would love the chance to be your husband. Will you marry me?" I start to tear up.

"Yes!" I grab his face, bringing my lips to his. He slides the ring on my finger... Perfect fit. I heard clapping and cheerful comments come from all around the room as I hug him.

"I've payed for the food, would you like to go somewhere?" He asks me.

"Yes,"

****************
See, my household lives in Canada. Crawford had packed our bags, and got us a plane to California. I changed into a crop top and leggings before getting on to the plane. Crawford changed into a hoodie and sweats.

When getting on the plane, I curled up into a small ball, cuddling with Crawford. I fell asleep while rubbing my hand up and down Crawford's slight abs.
*********************

We arrived, and drove me straight to my mother's house.

"Hello?" My mom answers the door. "Crawford told me you guys were coming, but I didn't know what for?" that's when I held out my left hand, showing her my ring. She seemed excited, but not as excited as I am.
