Josh's P.O.V.

"Simon!" I yelled as I walked up the stairs.

"What?" He asked as he walked out of his room smiling at me.

"I need your help tying my tie, I'm so nervous that something is going to go wrong tonight that I can't even stop shaking to tie my tie." I said laughing making him laugh.

"Come here you goof." He said as I walked over and he grabbed my tie.

I never realized how beautiful Simon's eyes were. They were a stunning blue that would catch anyone's eyes in a second. They weren't an obnoxious blue, but a sweet blue. It reminded me of the sea making me calm down.

"You okay there?" He asked laughing as he finished tying my tie.

"Yeah, sorry about that, just thinking about tonight and freaking out." I said laughing shakily.

"You remember what we talked about before getting the engagement ring?" He asked and I just nodded.

"Yes, but I don't know. I just can't believe that I am going to move to New York City." I said as Simon just hugged me.

"You'll be fine. You are the bravest person I've ever met. You can do this Josh." He said letting go from the hug.

"Thanks Simon." I said as I walked downstairs and walked out.

I got into my car and started to drive towards the restaurant that Freya and I were going to meet at. I went inside and sat down at the table waiting for Freya. I saw her walk in with a beautiful dress that fit her body perfectly. She walked to the table and I got up to kiss her. I took out her chair as she sat down.

"Wow, this is beautiful." She said looking around.

"Not as beautiful as you." I said making her smile and laugh her adorable laugh.

"So why did you bring me here?" She asked as the waiter came over.

"Here is your champagne. Made from the stars." He said pouring us our champagne.

Freya just smiled and took a sip. Her eyes lit up, she truly looked beautiful.

"So???" She said as I just laughed at her curiosity.

"So, a lot has happened this past year. The sidemen are growing by the second, we had that football match, and you, you've been here every step of the way. There is something different about you, something that no one else has shown. You are always here for me and I can always trust that you'll be here for me. Freya Nightingale, you are the love of my life and I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone except you, so," I said getting down on one knee and grabbing the ring, "will you marry me?"

"Yes, I do, yes, a billion times yes." She said crying as I put the ring on to her finger.

At first it didn't fit, but slowly it worked.

"Sorry, we can get a fitting." I said laughing making her laugh.

I got up and caressed her cheek and wiped away the tears.

"I love you." I said kissing her on the lips.

"I love you too." She said as I pulled away.

I sat down and looked at the beautiful human that I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

"Does this mean you are coming to New York with me?" She asked smiling and squeezing my hand.

"Yeah." I said not sure if I should be excited or not.

Something was holding me back, but I couldn't tell what it was.

The waiter then came along and we ordered our food. The rest of the night was truly beautiful.

I drove Freya back to her place and then drove home. I parked the car not able to get out. I just kept staring at the house. This is my home, I have to leave my home. Right when we were planning on getting the sidemen house, no one had anything against it.

I love Freya, and I truly want to be with her, it's just this is where my life is. Leaving here is like getting rid of a piece of me. My heart belongs with Freya, that is why I am going with her. She is my love.

"Hey, why are you just sitting in your car?" Simon asked as he opened up the passenger sit.

"I don't know, just thinking about everything. She said yes, if you were wondering." I said as his smile slowly faded away and a fake smile came along.

Every time I bring up Freya he gets the same fake smile. His beautiful little dimple and the little wrinkled bit at the end of his eyes doesn't show up. It's no where close to as beautiful as his real smile.

"If she said yes, shouldn't you be more happy? I thought you would come running in and yelling that she said yes." He said making me laugh.

"I don't know if I would've done that. I guess it just feels weird, it has been two, nearly three years that the sidemen have been together, I didn't think that I was going to be the first one to move out. I always thought it was going to be JJ. I thought that we were all going to get an awesome house and would have awesome late night recordings and then during the day we did things like live streams and then maybe we could even do YouTube live streams on the sidemen channel where we do fun q and a's or would you rather and things like that." I said as he looked at me with his beautiful eyes.

I felt a my eyes start to water and a tear fell down my cheek.

"Some times we don't get what we expected, but we make the most out of it." He said grabbing my hand and rubbing his fingers on my hand.

He lift up his other hand and wiped away the tears.

He always knows how to calm me down and make me smile. He is truly my best friend.
