Part 27

Ash/Brooke pov

I stared at the sky, thousands of stars glittering.

I tapped my fingers nervously. Was I sure I wanted to do this? It had been 5 years. 

I smiled at the thought. Those 5 years have been the best of my life.

"You okay?" Maddie asked, tracing her fingers over my hand.

"Yeah, I'm fine, there's just something I want to ask you," 

I turned towards her, trying to calm my nervous energy.

"Maddie, ever since I met you, I knew there was something different about you. And these past 5 years that I've been with you, those have been the best 5 years of my life. And Maddie, I want to spend the rest of my years with you,"

I pulled out the ring that was in my pocket.

I had been carving it for the last year or so. 

"Maddie, will you marry me?" I asked, holding out the ring towards her.

Her mouth was open in shock but then it slowly turned into a smile.

"Yes,"

Then I felt her lips press against mine.

I smiled. She was all I needed. As long as I had her, I was happy.
