We are heading into the radio station when the boys go to stop for pictures with their fans and I hear my name being called so I turn to the voice and it's a group of girls wearing Michael t's. I raise my eyebrows a little confused and they ask me if they can take a picture with me. I smile and walk over and get between all of them as they pulled me there and smile for the picture. One girl said, "make a Michael face." And we all on cue stick our tongues out and widen our eyes.
"Thank you! You're so pretty! I love your outfit! Is that Michael's t-shirt???"
"Yeah." I say and smile And wave as I'm being called to go inside.

I head over to Michael and see him smiling widely at me.
"What?" I say confused.
"The fans really like you." He smiles even bigger.
"Only a few.."
"Nah they all do prob." He says as we continue in.
Just as we are about to enter the station I hear a girl from the crowd scream "Whore!" And I turn around with my eyebrows raised but I quickly smile widely and say back "thanks!"
"That's my girl!" Michael says happy with my reaction to that girl. "Bitches shouldn't be rewarded with the satisfaction of hurting someone." I say with a shrug.
We walk in and sit down, me outside the studio. The boys are given headphones and I can't help but laugh at Michael's hair being all fluffy then just plop in the middle where the headphones were placed.
I listen to the interview and then they begin talking about me. Oh god. They are talking about Michael and I getting engaged? What the actual hell? That wasn't happening anytime soon. We are only 19 and we've only been together like half a year. I ignore there comments and plug in my music listening to green day. But I couldn't take my mind off the engaged rumor. Who started it? Why would they start it? "Just ignore it Avery.." I try to tell myself but I couldn't help but wonder how it started.. Did a fan start it as a joke? Or someone actually thought we were engaged for some reason? Oh shit I wear my mothers wedding ring on my left finger.. I started wearing it when she died, my sister wears my fathers. But it doesn't look like an engagement ring. It's just a simple silver band. Surely if Michael were to propose he'd get me something fancier. But nothing too fancy i don't want a giant diamond surrounded my smaller ones sitting on my finger. I would like a simpler ring like just a silver band with a nice sized diamond. Something that doesn't look like it weighs 20 pounds.

I remember when my sister and I were little our family would visit New York and my mother one time broke her wedding ring and us girls had a shopping day and we stopped by the jewelry store that was fixing the ring and my sister and I stared at the rings for hours. I was only 7 at the time I had hi hopes for marriage back then. I wanted a princess wedding with unicorns and doves and a chocolate fountain. I also thought I would marry a prince. That's every little girls dream. Once I turned 13 tho I changed my mind I actually didn't want to get married. I would like to now tho.. Just a simple wedding tho. Nothing too fancy.. Maybe even to Michael? "No. Don't think about marriage yet Avery it's too soon." I said to myself looking up at Michael laughing at something the interviewer must have said.
