"JULES." Connie burst threw the door, jumping onto her bed with the team in close pursuit. They all stood in the doorway, but she didn't stir, "Juliet." The girl sung, looking over her shoulder to see her eyes open but she was just staring into space, "Barney, come on. We've got some hockey to play."
Adam frowned, walking around the bed to look at her, "Jules, is everything alright?" He asked, crouching down beside her, she couldn't even roll away from him because Connie was sat on the other side so her eyes just shut. Banks feared the worse, when she shut her eyes and looked at the team, "Can you step out for a minute?" They all looked between each other, Charlie was the only one missing from the cluster of teens, before shaking their head, they weren't just leaving this time.
"We aren't leaving." Julie shook her head, "We're a family, and family's stick together." Jules opened her eyes, looking at Adam, he caught her gaze and tilted his head to the side, raising his brows.
"I'm sorry." He whispered, taking her hand into his own, "I'm so sorry, Juliet. I was to caught up in my own life to realise what they were doing to you, you shouldn't of had to deal with that. I'm never going to understand how hard it is for you to just live an everyday life, I know I won't but that doesn't mean I can't be aware of it and help you out, even if you don't want the help, even if you just want to lay in bed all day and forget about the world. I'll be here, right by your side."
Adam bit on his bottom lip, shuffled to be on one knee. Jules frowned, slowly sitting up when he pulled out a small box from his back pocket, "What are you doing?" She asked, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Uh, I'm not quite sure." He admitted, "But for three years, I've been carrying around this ring and I've been wanting to find the perfect time to ask you. And, I know it's going to be difficult, and I know that we're going to have fights and split apart and be angry with each other but Juliet Lucia Barnes, I want you in my life forever. You can say no, I'll understand but I'll never stop fighting for you because you are my forever, will you marry me?"
Jules looks at the ring, her bottom lip trembling when she sees her grandmothers wedding ring, all the way from Italy. Luca had it specially for her to get married with, since she never got to meet her grandmother because she died the day that she was born. He must've given it to Adam before he died, Banks waited for her reply, he would wait forever as she stared at the ring, contemplating whatever could happen. The future is unknown, and she can't decide when she'll die, but she can pick her journey. Juliet is going to make her own journey.
"Yes, clompers. Yes, I'll marry you." Her words echo in her ears as the team cheer for them and Adam puts the ring on her finger, with the biggest smile. Barney smiled, gasping when he lifted her up, spinning her around and then planting a kiss on her lips. She sighed, feeling that familiar burst of fireworks in her stomach as he kissed her.
