katiebug4evr33.Yahoo.com is my Email. Thank you. (The dot after the 3, is supposed to be an At sign, but it kept messing up, so, yeah. Deal with it.)


I walk out of the bedroom that Danny and I have moved into in our new house. Obviously, by the way it looked, Danny wasn't up, probably because it's 2 AM, but yet he wasn't in the room, and his spot was cold. I go into the kitchen, and see Danny standing by the sink, looking out the window, to the road, seemingly not knowing I was near him. I go up and tap on his shoulder, making him turn around. "Hey babe, you ok?", I ask worriedly, and he just nods his head. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just tired.", he finally replied. He sighed and ran a hand through his messy hair. "Today, I have something planned, and um, I really hope you like it.", he said shyly. I nod and hug him. "Ok, well, I'm tired, I'm gonna go back to bed, you need to do the same. Ok?", I say, and he smiles. "Ok.", he said, following me as I walk.

6 hours later, I wake up, and look at Danny, still sleeping, looking like an angel. I smile and kiss him on the cheek, before I get up, going to the kitchen. I stop in the living room, seeing the TV is on, which is rare, because me and Danny turn the TV off before we go to bed. I walk to the couch and see Paul, sitting on it, tears running down his cheeks, hair tossled, eyes bloodshot, and a bottle of beer in his hand. "Paul? Is something wrong?", I ask, softly, sitting by him. He looks up at me and sniffled. "She left me.....", he whispered, is voice cracking multiple times.

I stare blankly at him for a second. "What do you mean? Who left you?", I ask finally, after long moments of scilence. "Marissa left me. She broke up with me. I don't even know why.", he said weakly. I sigh, looking at him. "Ok, when did she break up with you? Did you guys get into a fight? What happened?", I ask, and he just looks down. "We had a small fight, nothing major, I don't even remember what it was about really. Then she stormed out, after writing a note, saying she never wanted to see me again.", he broke down,  mumbling things to himself, before he stood up to go to the wall, leaning against it, before he started to lightly hit it with the side of his fist, leaning his forehead to the wall.

I walk up to him carefully, placing my hands gently on his shoulders comfortingly, causing him to relax slightly, and his punches got softer, but still made a light thud with every hit. He whimpered and shuttered, letting his arms fall limply to his sides, before he leaned up against the wall more. "How about you go lay down? Ok Paul?", I say, gently and he just nods and says ok, softly. I grab his arm gently and start walking him to the guess bedroom, leading him to the bed, before I walked out and closed the door, going back to the kitchen, which had been my original destination.

I got out the pancake mix, and started to make pancakes for me, Paul, and Danny, softly singing 'She's Kinda Hot' by 5 Seconds Of Summer. I heard Danny wake up and stumble sleepily down the stairs. "Daley, why is Paul in our guest bedroom?", he asked, and I looked at him. "Because he is drunk, and sad, and tired. Marissa broke up with him.", I reply. "Well, is he just gonna sleep all day, or what? I mean, we have plans, and I don't want him interfeiring. He knows we have plans too.", he said, looking down and smiling. I  smile back and giggle. "Someone's in a good mood today.", I say, smirking, and he blushed. "Yeah, I am. I hope you are too by the end of the day", he mumbled, and I look at him questioningly. He shakes his head and took my hand. "Come on....Lets go. We have plans.", he smiled, taking her hand, taking her halfway to the door, before stopping. "Wait. I need to do something."

I watch him go up the stairs, coming down about 5 minutes later, his hand in his pocket, and Paul trailing him. Paul walked out the front door briskly and down the sidewalk, just before Danny took my hand again. "Come on.", he said with a smile. I follow him as he walks out, getting into his black Camry. I smiled when I found that the seats were warm, and the heater was on, as it was freezing cold outside. He sighed, gripping the steering wheel tightly.


2 hours later, we get to a park I've never been to before, snow starting to cover the ground lightly, making it even more beautiful then it had been at the house. "So, Danny, why are we here exactly?", I ask. He chuckles lightly, and I hear soft guitar music playing in the background.  Danny takes my hand gently. "Come on, I have a surprise for you. You're gonna love it.", he said, a huge smile on his face as he checks his pocket for something.

I follow him, curiosity starting to become almost overwhelming. We walk up a small hill, before it crests finally, and I see what seems to be an endless field. "This is beautiful", I whisper and Danny hugs me, before pointing to what looked like a checkered blanket. I smile, looking up at him. "Did you set all this up just for us?", I ask in awe. He nods. "Yeah. I did. Um, look to the left of the blanket, you'll see a special surprise....", he said, brushing a piece of hair that had fallen over my eyes away from my face.

I do as told, and see Anthony there, my eyes go wide and I squeal slightly. "Am I dreaming?", I whisper, and Danny rubs my back lightly. "Nope. It's all real baby.", he said, chuckling. I hug him tightly. "Oh my god. This is perfect.", I say, and I hear him mumble something under his breath. "What was that?", I ask, and he just shakes his head. "Nothing." He pulls on my hand gently. "Come on, lets go sit down. I have your favorite food.", he chuckled as he started walking, his bright blue eyes twinkling as he grabbed my hand again, pulling me softly. I follow him, and we finally sit down. 

I look around, and see the sandwiches, turkey and cheese to be exact, a sleeve of crackers, and a jar of Nutella. Danny looks at me, a giant smile on his face. "So, is this the surprise you've been so secretive about?", I ask, a smirk on my lips. He chuckled. "Not exactly. The real surprise comes in just a few hours, the sun will be exactly behind that grove of trees to the left, and then, I'll show the actual surprise.", he said, poking my nose. I giggle lightly, before looking up at him, a small piece of hair had fallen in front of his left eye. I brush it away, letting my finger linger for just a few seconds before pulling away.

Hours pass as we talk, laugh, have tickle fights, and just sit next to each other, before finally, the sun was behind the trees. I look at him, smiling, "Is it time yet?", I ask excitedly. He nods, and walks over to Anthony, who had been playing his guitar quietly, and hands him a peice of paper. I wait expectantly for Danny to get back, but what happened next was unexpected from me on every level. 

Anthony started playing 'Someday Girl' by Hunter Hayes, and Danny waited for the chorous til he walked back to me. He dug something out of his pocket, a small, blue, velvet box, and I could feel me eyes tearing up. "Daley, um, as you know, we've been through almost anything life could throw at us, yet we're still together. I cant think of a more perfect girl to spend the rest of my life with. Daley Zimmer, will you marry me?", he said, a huge smile on his lips as he opened the box, revealing a ring with at least a 4 carat ring, a small engraving on the side. I bit my lip slightly, nodding, before hugging him tightly. "Yes.", I whisper.
