Today is the day. I have it planned out. Alia has been wanting to put me on a horse and go on a trail ride to her favorite outlook. So today I'm going to let her do that. Now that she is all caught up with friends, i feel this is the perfect moment.

According to her mother the outlook is beautiful. We decided to leave after diner to make our arrival at the perfect time. Sunset of course.

So now we both are sitting atop these four legged animals while she leads the way. I try to stay calm, knowing that animals pick up on your emotions. Anxiety racks my body but I take my deep breaths and hope the horse doesn't freak out.

Alia tied a rope to her saddle and the other end is connected to my horse. I don't have to do anything, really.

The trail is filled with wildlife. The sounds of nature surround us and there's not a car to be heard. I take in the sound knowing once I get back to LA it will be entirely opposite. And of course we'll be moving at that time.

The rhythmic sound of the horses walking and the birds chirping combined with the way the rest of the world feels silent, makes me almost drowsy.

Finally we round a corner and the end of the trail arrives. Alia guides us to a spot while I stare in awe at the beauty of the outlook.

"Alright, you can hop off." Alia breaks the trance and I shake my head. I climb off the horse and look out once again. I find Alia's hand entwined with mind. She walks to the edge and sits down. I do the same.

Together we look out at the world, not phased by anything. The constant hate, the little privacy, the busy cities we always seem to be at. None of it matters. Because here I am. Holding the love of my life's hand with her head resting on my shoulder.

"Cameron?" Alia speaks up. I look down at her and she looks up from my shoulder.

"What's up, baby?" I answer her with a question. I don't want to look away from her eyes because I feel almost like if I do it'll break the trance. The trance that her beautiful eyes put on me; making me fall for her all over again.

"I love you." She smiles. Suddenly I feel a ping in my gut. This is my shot. This is the perfect chance. I can see the sun setting behind us. It's time.

"You have no idea how much I love you too. Maybe this will let you know." I lean in and kiss her, strongly, trying to kiss away my stupid worries. Once we pull away I stand, bring her with me.

She seems confused.

"You see that sunset right?" I look to her. She nods. "Everyday when the sun sets on the day, I think about it all over again. No matter how that day went or what happened. We always have tomorrow. And I tell myself that tomorrow will never be spent without your love. I know that everyday I love you more because of that. I am so in love with you." I stare down into her beautiful eyes and take her hands in mine.

God, I love her.

"I remember when we first met." She speaks up this time. Somehow, that's what I had planned to say next.

I nod.

"Me too. It was at a Starbucks in LA. The boys had convinced me to go with them because I didn't want to. " I chuckled at the memories. "I got up to get some napkins and ran straight into the most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on. I used to not believe in love at first sight. But when our eyes met I immediately knew you were the one."

I look at her, pausing my speech. Her eyes seem to be reminiscing. So I look out to the sunset with her.

"I remember MagCon times where so much went wrong but we stuck together. I remember when you began living with me and Nash. I remember all the perfect little moments we had. I remember the hard times when you were sick. That was awful. I couldn't wait any longer for you to wake up when you finally did and the first word you said was my name. I never knew I could love someone so much. "Her eyes are getting misty.

"And when you'd cry, it felt like your tears were acid biting through my heart. I thought I had to fix it somehow. I always tried at least. "

I can feel myself starting to have tears in my eyes. I blink them away.

"When I went to see your father I couldn't help but realize who made you the way you are. You have thick skin baby. He did too. I talked to him for awhile. I asked him for something very important and I think he might have said yes. I asked your mom too." I turn to her now. My heart is pounding in my chest and I wonder if she can hear it in the sudden silence.

"Now it's time to ask you. Alia, I love you more than anything and I want a family with you and I want to grow old with you and I don't want to spend another living minute of my life without you. " I bend down, placing one of my knees on the ground.

Her hands fly to her fact, covering her mouth and nose. I see the tears in her eyes and fight to hold mine. I reach into my pocket and pull out the box, opening it to reveal the ring, letting it sparkle in the sun. With the biggest smile I've ever had, I finally ask her.

"Alia Marie Mason, will you do the greatest honor of my life and marry me?"
