ok you guys are like AMAZING! thanks so much for all the reviews and feedback on my rydellington story :) so here is chapter 3! the proposal!!! you guys are gonna love it! enjoy :)

*Ratliff's p.o.v*

It was the next morning we were preparing for our morning show performance, I was anxious for the proposal, something didn't feel right though.

“Guys change of plans.” I whisper to the guys while Rydel is in the bathroom.

“I want to do 'Here comes forever' instead of 'Pass me by'” I tell them.

“And you felt compelled to change the plans NOW?” Ross exclaims quietly.

“I'm sorry!” I exclaim biting my lip.

“Ok, ok, we'll just clear the change with the producer and everything will go from there, it is Ratliff's proposal we need to do whatever song he feels compelled to propose to her after.” Riker replies.

“It's a little cliché isn't it?” Rocky asks.

“Like you said, girls like that romantic cliché stuff right?” I ask.

“My sister will, I know that.” he replies.

“Ok, then let's change it, I’ll let Rydel know about the change.” I reply.

*Rydel's p.o.v*

I finish fixing my hair and applying a last bit of makeup and finally go to the stage, Ratliff meeting me there.

“Rydel, quick change of plans, we're doing 'Here comes forever' instead of 'Pass me by'.” he says.

“What, why the change?” I ask.

“Uh, I, can't tell you, but I promise you'll know why shortly.” he replies with the same sly grin he had on yesterday.

“Ok.” I reply, going up the stairs to the stage.

What is going on?

I wonder to myself, I thought he was going to propose, but we went through dinner all night last night and nothing happened, now with the sudden song change, I was really confused.

We get to our places onstage, the interviewer announces us, and lets them know about the change in the song and the chords for “Here comes forever.” begin to play.

At the end of the song I’m about to walk off stage when I hear Ratliff say my name.

“Actually, we're not quite done yet, Rydel could you come here please?” he asks, going to the middle of the stage.

I raise my eyebrows but do what he told me to.

I walk up to him.

“Ratliff, what's going on?” I ask.

“Well, Rydel, as you know, we've been going out for some time now, and, I really love you, more than you could ever know, and, all I know is I want to spend forever with you.”

he gets down on one knee, his eyes sparkling as he looks up at me.

My heart rate accelerates.

“Rydel Mary Lynch, I would love, for you to be my wife, would you marry me?” he asks as he pulls a black velvet box out of his pocket and opens it.

Inside is a beautiful silver ring with a sparkling pink diamond on top.

I cover my mouth, tears falling down my cheeks.

“Well?” he asks slowly.

I nod my head first.

“YES! Yes like a million times yes!” I exclaim, putting my arms around his neck.

He picks me up and spins me around as he stands back up.

“Well you heard it here first ladies and gentlemen, Rydel Lynch will soon be Rydel Ratliff.” the interviewer cuts in to an extreme amount of applause.

“Y-you mean it, you really want to be with me forever?” He asks.

I nod my head vigorously, more tears rolling down my cheeks.

“Yes, there's nothing I would want more.” I reply, kissing him.

“Well then, here comes forever baby.” he whispers with a smile after we pull out of the kiss.

I kiss him again.

“You guys know you're still on camera right?” The interviewer asks.

I blush.

*later that night* 

We were celebrating Ratliff and I's engagement, it was also a going away party, since Ross would be leaving for Peurto Rico in the morning.

“I'm so happy for you baby!” my mom exclaims, wrapping me in a hug.

“It seems like just yesterday I found you crying on the piano bench because you didn't think you'd ever have a chance with Ratliff.” she adds.

“I can't believe it's happening either.” I reply.

“Well believe it baby, you're gonna be mine forever!” Ratliff exclaims from behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

“Ratliff you spy!” I exclaim.

He laughs.

“Sorry babe.” he replies.

“It's ok.” I reply, turning around in his arms to kiss him.

“Oh get a room!” Ross exclaims as he walks by.

“Oh grow up!” I exclaim.

He sticks his tongue out at me.

“So immature.” I mumble under my breath.

The doorbell rings, Ross runs to the door to answer it.

“IT'S FOR ME!” He exclaims.

When he opens the door Laura comes inside, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

“I'm so glad you could make it!” he exclaims.

“I wouldn't miss a Lynch party for the world, besides its a going away party too, my last night to see you.” she replies.

He kisses her.

“Get a room.” I mimic.

They pull apart, Ross giving me a shocked look.

“Hey guys!” Laura exclaims as they approach us.

“Congrats you two! I saw the morning show this morning, I’m so happy for you two!” she says.

“Thank you Laura.” I reply with a smile.

Suddenly there's a knock on the door.

“I'll go get it.” I reply.

“Ratliff I’ll be just one moment ok?” I ask.

“Alright, I’m gonna go get us some drinks.” he replies.

I smile.

“You're so nice.” I reply pecking him on the cheek with a kiss.

He leaves and I go to answer the door, a smile on my face.

I unlock the door and open it.

“Hi Rydel!”

my smile fades.

“Kelly?” I ask.
