   "Ashton don't worry she'll love it." I assured him. He held the box for Hannah in his arms tightly as we made our way up the stairs leading to Han's apartment. When we got to the door Ashton looked flushed and nervous.

"Dude she'll love it." Calum patted his back and he looked down at the box. Ashton took a deep breath and by the door with his foot. Michael, our fingers intertwined and Calum standing beside Michael and Luke beside Calum. When Hannah swung open the door she stood there with a confused look on her face. she had on black leggings  and one of Ashton's sweaters. No shoes. Her hair in a loose cute ponytail.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" We all screamed and she shook her head smiling.

"Happy Birthday baby." Ashton said as she invited us in. Michael sat down on the recliner and pulled me down to sit on his lap. I layed my head back against his shoulder as Hannah sat on the couch followed by Ashton and Calum sat on the beanbag chair. Ashton glanced at me and I nodded reassuring him she'd love her gifts. I fanned my face cause it was hot as hell in her apartment and I was in a hoodie.

"Han I'm boring a tshirt." I told her and went into her room shutting the door behind me. When I was done I went back in and Ashton cleared his throat.

"Okay so your 19 today and I wanted to give you some special things so here's this." he said and handed her the box.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Open it and find out dumb ass." I yelled and she flipped me off but began pulling the top open. Her smile made me smile. She pulled out a black hoodie with something on the front. I knew it was her favorite hoodie of Ashton's that he loved to much and never let her keep like the others so he knew how much it would mean to her. She took the other one of his she was wearing off, she had a tank top on under, and changed into it and dove back in the box this time pulling out a necklace.

"Oh my God Ashton." She said and it looked like she was about to cry. It was a silver heart and his name and hers were engraved on the back with the date they first started dating.

"Here let me." He said and she turned so he could put it on. She turned back and admired it before grabbing the last thing. A letter. Nobody knew what it said except for Ashton and now Hannah of course but that's okay because we all know it's something cute.

She took a couple minutes to read it silently to herself and by the end she was crying.

"I love you so much." she said and hugged him. I smiled looking at Michael then back at them.

"Okay next present is-" he started.

"There's more?!" She exclaimed and I laughed.

"Yes and you don't even have to change just go grab your shoes from your room." he said and she nodded standing up.

"Be right back." she stated and walked to her room. Ashton looked at me with a smile from ear to ear.

"Told you she'd love it." He smirked and we sat in silence for a moment before Hannah walked back in, without shoes but with something in her hand.

"Ashton?" She asked and he stood up slowly walking over to her. He took the small box from his hands and she knew what was coming next. I got out my phone to get pictures of the moment as he got on his knee.

"Hannah, I love you. I always have and I always will. Will you marry me?" She was crying to hard to answer so she nodded and pulled him
up as soon as the ring was on her finger and jumped up wrapping her arms around his waist.
     When I went to change my shirt, which was a set up,I set the ring in the middle of her bed. We planned to make sure she'd go to her room and see it after she got her first gifts.

"You guys knew about this?" She collected herself and got down from Ashton.

"Duh." Calum said shoving his hand into a bag of chips. I hugged her and smiled as she admired the ring with Ashton. Calum and Luke continued eating his chips and I sat back down on Michaels lap. He looked at me with something I couldn't decipher and smiled.

"What?" I asked and he kissed me softly.

"One day baby." He said and I knew what he meant. We left Ashton and Hannah to themselves and dropped Calum and Luke off and went back to our apartment. I got changed into one of Michaels hoodies and didn't bother with pants and put on cute Christmas socks, because who doesn't love Christmas socks, and plopped down on our bed. It had been a long day of getting things ready with Ashton. Michael took off his pants and shirt leaving him in his boxers, and layed down beside me. He grabbed onto my waist and pulled my into him. We were laying so that we were facing esvhother and my head was against his chest and his chin rested on top of my head.

"Snow I love you so much." He said quietly. I looked up at him and he moved his head down slightly to make eye contact with me.

"I know." I said and he smirked.

"I was such a dick to you when you first time you came here." He said sounding disappointed in himself.

"Yeah you were, but that was forever ago, it's okay." I said and placed a small kiss on his chest. He hummed in response.

"Wanna know why I was such a dick?" I just nodded.

"Because I knew you'd ruin me." He said and I looked up at him with my eyebrow raised.

"Not like that I just- I had a plan."

"Partying and drinking yourself to death was your plan?" I chimed in.

"No-or yes. I don't know I just I planned on never falling in love. I'd seen love become so corrupt growing up with my birth parents and with your parents- sorry."

"No it's okay." I said and he continued.

"and then you came along and just took over my world and my thoughts and my heart and I just- I wouldn't have had it any other way now, but I was such a dick because it scared me. You were too good for me and I knew I'd hurt you and you didn't deserve any pain and I just, I'm glad you came into my life because God knows where I'd be without you." By the end
of this I was crying and I didn't even know. Maybe it was the love I had for this boy.

"I love you Michael Clifford." Is all I could manage to say before kissing my boyfriend.

"Okay I have a question and it's okay if you think it's absolutely crazy and shit but I need to ask you." He said and I got a bit worried.

"What is it Michael?" I asked and he breathed out.

"Will you marry me?"
