SONG: NEW YEAR'S DAY; TAYLOR SWIFT

Today was the day.

The Super Bowl.

The Niners had had an absolutely amazing season barely losing any games and if they did it was a very close game.

Bethany was so unbelievably proud of Brock. It was only his second year in the NFL and he had brought his team to the Super Bowl.

The Niners were going up against the Chiefs.

Yes Bethany was the definition of a swiftie but today she was fully faithful.

TIME SKIP >>>

It was overtime and the Niners were in the lead but the Chiefs were on their tail.

The Chiefs had the ball and were too close to the end zone.

Too close for comfort.

Brock and Bethany were standing next to each other on the sideline.

Mahomes called out and the play started.

Before Bethany could fully comprehend what was going on the Chiefs had won the Super Bowl.

This is why Kermit the Frog used to scare me when I was little.

Bethany was just standing there.

Red and yellow confetti piling up on top of her head.

She looked to her side only to see that Brock was gone.

He wasn't anywhere on the field.

He's with his boys... he's ok.

Bethany just continued to stand there until Kyle Shanahan approached her.

He leant into her ear and covered his mouth as he whispered to her.

"You've gotta get in the locker room right now."

"Why? What's going on?"

"It's Brock."

Bethany immediately rushed over to the Niner's locker room.

When she opened the door it was dead silent.

No one was in there.

Bethany put herself into the locker room and walked around the first set of lockers.

Her heart shattered at the sight in front of her.

Brock was still in his jersey sitting on one of the benches with his shoulders slumped and elbows on his knees with his face in his hands.

Bethany sat next to him and placed a gentle hand on his back. She rested her head on his back.

"Bethany... I am so sorry."

"For what Brock?"

"Losing. I let you down."

Bethany sat back upright and gently held Brock's face in her hands.

"Brock... hey. You did not let me down. I am so proud of you."

"I don't deserve you Bethany."

"Yes you do Brock. You are the sweetest, wisest, most talented, beautiful, hard working, and deserving man that I know. And so much more. You deserve anything and everything."

"I just feel bad."

"For who?"

"You, my parents, my family, my friends, my teammates, the fans. Gosh, I let the fans down."

"Brock, you didn't let anybody down. I am so in love with you. Your parents are so proud of their boy. The rest of your family can't believe how amazing you are doing. Your friends love you. Your teammates are by your side no matter what and feel what you're feeling too. And the fans? Brock the fans are still out there chanting your name. Sure, they might be disappointed about the loss but who isn't? Brock the fans don't call themselves the faithfuls for no reason. They still have utmost faith in you. We all do."

"Thank you Bethany. You always have the right words and tell me exactly what I need to hear. I don't know what I would do without you."

"Well, lucky for you, you will never have to find out. I am not going anywhere."

The couple just sat on the bench embracing as all of their problems slipped away.

TIME SKIP >>>

As the long night was starting to come to a close, Brock and Bethany made their way to Brock's car so that they could make their way back to the hotel for the night.

They got in and Brock set his phone up with the aux while Bethany rested her head on the back of her seat. She closed her eyes trying to make her body completely relax.

There's glitter on the floor after the party

Bethany's eyes shot open so fast.

She turned to face Brock who had an innocent smirk on his face.

"You're listening to Taylor Swift?"

"You love Taylor Swift and I love you so therefore I will listen to Taylor Swift."

He loves me.

"What did you just say?"

"I love you Bethany."

"I love you Brock."

We love each other.
