Bex's P.O.V
Things are really crazy. I remember when I shot myself in the leg to let the others get away safely. Thanks to my loving brother for fixing me. I've been really tired ever since. Maybe shooting myself wasn't the best idea. I didn't know I'd be so tired. Now, here I am, laying on Reed who really wanted to go find a room before everyone else.
"Reed?" I ask sleepily.
"Hmm.?"
"Want to go find a room? I hate this couch."
"Yeah. C'mon." He got off the couch and bent down.
I jumped on his back and we made our way upstairs. Reed seemed like he knew everything about this house. We went ip another set of stairs hidden in a closet behind a bunch of coats. It's kind of like Narnia. When Lucy finds the world of Narnia, how she has to go through the wardrobe. Yeah, you get it. Right?
"Remember this place?" Reed sighs.
"Somewhat." I walk around the huge room.
*FlashBack*
It was summer. Reed and I were playing hide-n-seek with his cousin. Reed and I would always hide in this exact room, same spot every time. Eric always gave up when he couldn't find us.
"Kids, dinner's ready!" We heard Nana yell.
"Let's go! I bet grandma made Salad and Chinese!" Reed said half way down the stairs.
We run down the stairs. Occasionally tripping. We get to the dinning room and see a really mad Eric. His face was red, he was out of breath. I giggle at him. I look at Reed who is already getting a bunch of food on his plate. He glances at me and shakes his head.
"Reed, can we stay in that one room tonight?" I ask sweetly.
"Of course!" He smiled the toothy grin he always had.
After dinner Reed and I run up to the secret room. The dark blue walls with broken guitars and damaged drum sticks stuck to the walls. It was really beautiful.
*End of flashback*
"I miss Nana." I sigh.
"Me too. Right now, lets be thankful we have the biggest room. With the softest bed." He chuckled.
I threw myself onto the soft bed. It seems like this room isn't ready to rot. It still has the bright color vibe to it. I think of them good ole days when Eric, Reed, and myself would fight in the living room over what to watch. When Nana thought it would be cool to do my makeup and hair. She was a young grandmother.
Reed's mom was sixteen when she had him. His mom decided to make my mom his godmother. Our moms were the same age, but my mom had me five years later.
Any way, Reed's grandmother was only forty-six. She had her daughter at the age of fifteen. Their family was a bit messed up. I never really understood them, but luckily I do now. If I didn't, Reed and I wouldn't be together. We wouldn't even be friends.
My thoughts went away when I felt the warmth of someones lips planted on mine. I smile against his lips.
"I just saw you laying there with your eyes closed. You looked beautiful. I'm sorry." Reed smiled pulling away.
"I don't understand why no one else can see how good and nice you are." I sat up.
"We just have to prove to them." Reed walked to the door. "You hungry? I'll cook you up some of grandma's chicken noodle soup. If the recipe is still in the same spot."
"Yeah. That sounds good." I smiled.
"You stay here. I'll bring it up to you when it's done." With that Reed walked out of the room and down the stairs.
Reed's P.O.V
I walk down stairs and see Ash.
Uh-oh she looks pissed.
"Where the hell is Bex? Where have you been?" She snaps.
"We have a secret room." I replied with a smirk.
"Where? I need to know these things! Just incase!" Ash followed me to the kitchen.
"It's a place where I can keep her safe."
"That's not going to happen."
"Why not? She's my girlfriend. Nothing will happen to her. She's safe."
Ash walked out. I can't help but laugh to myself. I dig through the junk drawer to find the recipe. After about ten minutes I find it. I start making the chicken noodle soup.

"Thanks babe." Bex stretches and turns the tv down.
"No problem. Anything for my love. Oh look." I point to the window.
"It's snowing." She smiled.
Oh god. I love her smile, it's so amazing. I watch her run up to the window like she did the first we were here when the snow started to fall. I take a mental memory. I walk up and wrap my arms around her waist. She throws her head back lightly. Making my head rest on her head.
"Let's go for a walk." Bex whispers.
"Mm, where to?" I ask dumbly already knowing the answer.
"The park? The lake?" She suggested.
"Let's go to the lake, it's further away." I whisper.
She nods and kisses my jaw line. I take her hand and we walk down the stairs hand in hand.
"Where do you think you are going?" Sandra asked.
"For a walk Sandra, tell Max I'll be back soon." Bex said.
She nodded. We walk out the door. In silence we walk to the lake that's about half mile away. I stop when we are just in the middle of the frozen lake. Things freeze faster nowadays.
Bex gives me a questioning look. I pat my pockets just to make sure it's in there. I sit on the ice and take in the lightly snow covered trees. I feel Bex sit by me. Only because she sits right next to me and takes my hand.
"What's wrong, Reedbead?" She asks.
"Nothing, Bexiewexie. Just thinking."
"About?"
'I don't want to ask you right now.' I think to myself.
"Alright. Well." I start.
"Go on. Don't be scared." Bex is the one who looks scared.
I get up, but go down on one knee. "Beatrice Erica Xoller, will you do me the extraordinary, by making me the happiest man in the world. Please,"I paused "Be my wife?"
She didn't say anything. She wasn't crying. I don't think she was even breathing. Next thing I know, I was on the ground. Bex had tackled me. She was smiling and crying. She nodded her head so viciously I could hear her brain move.
"Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes! I mean even though there aren't many reasons to, yes. I want to marry. I will be your wife!" She kisses my cheek.
"I love you so much, Bex." I whisper.
"I love you too." She replies.
Thank gosh she said yes. I don't know what would have happened if she said no. I would've probably died.

A/N- SOO HOW WAS THAT?! I think it was a total surprise. I didn't see it coming! The girls told me to go more into Bex and Reed's point of views so that is exactly what I did. I hope you enjoyed!
