Once was lost but saved by a cowboy

A proposal

Jason's pov

I see a yellow pick up truck pull into the drive. I smile. Tate's truck. I meet him outside with my pistol at my side to scare him and pretend I don't know anything. "Hey Tate, what can I do ya for?" "W-Well sir, I have something important to ask."

Tate's pov

I nervously stare at the gun on his side. "Scuese me boy, my eyes are up here." "R-Right." "Why don't we walk and talk?" We take a walk, his hand on his pistol. "S-Sir-" "No need to be so formal, I've always thought of you as my nephew." "Ok. Well um I... Would like to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage." I finally manage to get out. He stops walking. I look up at him. He turns around. "I.... Just have a few things to say about that." Oh here it comes. The rant of why I'm not good enough for his daughter. I lower my head sadly. "Tate, I want to thank you for always protecting her and taking care of her at school. You have my blessing.... Under one condition, you hurt my little Sierra... You see this gun don't ya boy?" I nod shakily. "I won't even need to use this... If you hurt my little girl." Wow. "I promise sir, I won't hurt her. I love her with all my heart." He laughs. "What'd I say about calling me sir?" I laugh and blush. "I'll throw a bonfire this weekend. You can ask her then." "Thanks." I say, hugging him tight.

*that weekend*

Miranda doesn't even know Tate wants to marry her. It's gonna be a surprise for her too. I can't wait. Luke was manning the grill with a frustrated worried look. I walk over. "Yo Luke what's wrong?" "Just this crap with Caroline. I just.... I can't believe she'd do that to me." I sigh sadly and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry man." He nods. Then I hear Tate getting people's attention. I smile and run over.

Sierra's pov

Tate calls everyone to attention. Mom and dad walk over, dad smiling. "There's a reason for the bonfire and it wasn't just to have fun. Sierra I love you so much. Will you marry me?" My jaw drops. "B-But Tate... We're still in high school!" "I don't care. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you!" Tears spring to my eyes. "Oh Tate, yes I'll marry you! I love you too!"

Miranda's pov

Oh my goodness! My baby girl is getting married!! I cheer and Jason hugs me tightly then kisses my head. "You knew the whole time didn't ya?" He smirks that goofball smirk at me. "Yep. Surprise!" "I can't believe it. My Sierra is getting married." I whisper, kissing him, my fingers lacing with his. Tate sweeps her off her feet and kisses her passionately and slips the ring on her finger. Sierra is getting married. James would be so proud at how great Sierra grew up.

Sorry its so short.
