A Country Rebel Love Song

Chapter Thirty-seven

*one week later*
*July fourth*
  I sigh and try to decide what to wear today, since it is my birthday after all. Me and Andy had decided that we were just going to have a get together in my backyard and maybe shoot some fireworks since it is July fourth after all. I pulled out a pair of cut-offs, a black handkerchief shirt, and my black boots with crosses. I went into the bathroom and changed and then straightened my hair. I added a bit of makeup to my tanned skin and decided that I was finished. I walked out and Andy was clad in black ripped skinny jeans and one of his ripped tshirts. He smiles when he sees me.
    "Ready to head downstairs?"
He asks.
    "Yeah."
I say.
  Andy tangled his fingers into mine and we walked downstairs. Someone knocked on the door just as we made it into the kitchen. Andy untangled his fingers from mine and jogged to the door. He opened it and there stood the boys of Asking Alexandria.
   "Oh hey guys, I didn't know that you were in town."
Andy says.
  Ben chuckles.
    "Yeah we were in town and we remembered that it is McKinley's birthday as well so we thought that we would stop by."
Ben says.
    "Aww that's nice of you guys. You really didn't have to."
I say, wrapping an arm around Andy's waist.
  Ben smiles.
    "Yeah, we kind of did. We are your friends now, love."
Ben says.
  I just simply shake my head. Soon enough the rest of my family and friends started piling in. We had made sure not to invite Ben, Brantley's drummer that is, and Faith. I didn't want another repeat of my last birthday. I sighed and rested my head on Andy's lower shoulder because that is the only place that I could reach. We soon carried the little party out back, where Aunt Becky and Brantley were. Brantley had finally learned how to man a grill without burning whatever he is cooking. Mason was in his play pen which we had sit up outdoors considering the nice day. Andy leaned down and scooped Mason out of the play pen.
    "Hello there you."
Andy says, straightening out his Batman shirt.
  Mason cooes and reached out to play with Andy's hair that is hanging in front of his face. Andy moved it out from his reach.
    "Lets not do that."
He says.
  I chuckle and kiss Andy on the cheek. He then sits Mason back into his play pen. He turns and puts his hands around my waist.
    "Happy birthday gorgeous."
He whispers.
  He then tossed Ben his phone.
    "Take a picture of us."
He says.
  We stay in the position we are in and Ben snaps the picture. He then hands Andy back his phone and Andy immediately began typing something up. He showed it to me before he posts it.
    'Spending fourth of July with this lovely Angel. Happy birthday Angel. I hope that you have a good time today. @McKinleyRoseofficial'
  I smiled and hit the post button. He smiles as well. Soon enough the party is in full swing and everyone is playing and joking around. I'm actually having a really decent time. Me and Andy were sitting on the steps as the sunset was setting. Then too my complete surprise, Andy abruptly stood up. He cleared his throat.
    "So, I thought now would be a perfect time for me to give my present to McKinley."
Andy says.
  He then pulls out a little black box and drops down to one knee. I gasp and happy tears immediately filled my eyes.
    "McKinley Rose Tylers, honestly what can I say? You are perfect, and you had me falling head over heels with you within weeks. You are my light in the darkness. My hope when I don't have any hope left. So will you do me the honors of becoming my McKinley Rose Biersack?"
He says, hope filling his eyes.
  I couldn't find the words so I simply just nodded. He grins and stands back up, taking the ring out of the box. He then slides off the promise ring and slid the engagement ring into place. I grinned and threw my arms around his neck and pressed my lips to his. He smiles and kissed back. I kissed him until I had run out of air and had to pull back for air. He then rests his forehead on mine.
    "You are so amazing."
I whisper.
    "No, you are amazing. I love you."
He whispers.
    "I love you too."
I whisper.
  That's when I pulled away from Andy. Aunt Becky immediately pulled me into a hug.
    "Congratulations, honey!"
She exclaims.
    "Thank you, Aunt Becky. Did you guys know anything about this?"
I ask.
  Brantley and Amber raise their hands.
    "Guility. He came and asked for my blessing."
Brantley says.
  I smiled at Andy as he joked and talked with the boys of Asking Alexandria.
    "It is good to see you happy again."
Aunt Becky says.
    "Yeah, this was a complete and total surprise."
I say.
    "I can't believe that he done it on your birthday."
Amber squeals as she admires the ring.
    "I guess I should have known something was up when he mentioned something about marriage the other day."
I say.
  She chuckles.
    "You can never be too sure. He went and talked to Brantley over a month ago."
She says.
  Andy comes over and wraps his arms around my middle.
    "You realize that the fans are going to flip right?"
Ben points out as he comes up to get some more tea.
  Andy shruggs.
    "I don't really care. If they don't see that I am happy then they aren't true fans and that is exactly how I see it."
He says.
  I chuckle and shake my head.
    "Yeah, I guess you are right about that one."
I say.
  The party is soon back into full swing after the big moment. Andy is basically connected at my hip though. It's kind of adorable.
    "We have to put a picture on instagram to tell the fans."
Andy says.
  I sigh and nodd. He intertwined his fingers in mine and made sure that the ring was showing as he clicked the picture.
    'She said yes! Can't believe it. I love you my beautiful fiancee. @McKinleyRoseofficial'
  I smile and hit the post button. He leans down and gently pressed his lips to mine. I kissed back until I needed to breathe.
    "Don't get any ideas Biersack."
I whisper, raising an eyebrow.
  He chuckles.
    "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not."
He says.
    "Again, don't get any ideas Biersack."
I say.
  He chuckles and shakes his head.
    "I'm joking, Angel."
He says.
  Soon the boys of Asking Alexandria bring the fireworks from the house. I smile, I know it is getting late because Mason is already passed out in his play pen and everyone is starting to get tired. The fireworks soon start and I lean against Andy's side, taking everything in. Andy wraps his arm around me and I cuddle more into his side. Once the fireworks were over, with the provided show of the boys of Asking Alexandria almost burning themselves, we all started to get things cleaned up. Andy had went to help the boys of Asking Alexandria pick up the empty cartons from the fireworks. I was in the process of carrying everything back into the house and putting it away. Andy soon comes inside and wraps his arms around my waist. He nuzzles his face into my neck.
    "I love you."
He whispers.
    "I love you too."
I say, looking down.
    "I'm so glad that you said yes."
He whispers.
  I smile and turn to face him. I then wrap my arms around his neck.
    "Andy, you have made me happier than I have been in a while. Besides I couldn't tell your handsome face no."
I say.
  He smiles.
    "Yeah, I guess so. How about we go and get some rest? It's late and we have a wedding to plan."
He says.
  I smile.
    "Alright."
I say.
  We head upstairs and Andy grabs his pajamas and goes into the bathroom. I hear the shower and smile softly. I then change into my normal pajamas which consist of one of Andy's shirts and now yoga shorts. Andy soon comes out in a pair of gym shorts. We climb into the bed and I cuddled into Andy's side. He pulls the blankets over us and turns out the light.
    "I love you my Angel."
I heard Andy murmer as I drifted off to sleep.
