Epilogue// pt. 1

I got this idea from an imagine on Instagram, and I don't know who it was from. If this idea is yours, I give you credit even though it's vague.

This is the epilogue.

~~~

I walk down the beach, the sand squishing between my toes. Looking to my left when I hear a voice, I smile at her but I'm still slightly disappointed. "Bri!"

"Hi Scar."

"You don't seem that excited to see me," She raises her eyebrows, giving me a sympathetic smile.

"I was expecting someone else." I said, continuing my walk along the shoreline. It's been approximately 2 years since Mitch and I became official, and I frowned a little bit. He's been so distant lately.

I run a hand through my hair. What if he doesn't love me anymore? What if- Scarlette cuts my thoughts off by saying something. "Look at the crowd over there."

I look to where she's pointing, seeing a large group of people. "I wonder what's going on."

"Me too. Let's go check it out!" She grins excitedly, and I shrug, letting her pull me towards the group.

I hear music, a super familiar song.

Chances are when said and done

Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?

Though you say I could be your answer

Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today

Chances, by Five For Fighting.. That was mine and Mitch's song.

Chances are we'll find a new equation

Chances roll away from me

Chances are all they hope to be

I sighed when I could hear the beginning of the song, and still Scarlette dragged me towards the people. I started to resist as we got closer. "Scar, I don't want to go anymore.."

"Come on. We're already almost there." She continues to take me, and soon I can make out a few familiar faces with a bunch of random ones.

Don't get me wrong I'd never say never

'Cause though love can change the weather

No act of God can pull me away from you

Was that Adam? And Kerry? God, I haven't seen them in ages..

A few more faces pop up until we get close enough to where Scarlette gets lost in the crowd and I'm still in front of it. "Scarlette?"

She disappeared. Damn.

I look around until I swear I saw Mitch, and soon he comes to the front of the crowd, surprising me. "Mitch?"

He smiles at me, just when my favorite part of the song comes on, and he sings right in front of me, and I smile, still confused about the whole ordeal.

I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand

Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you

And though I see us through, yeah

Chances are we'll find two destinations

Chances roll away from me

Still chances are more than expectations

The possibilities over me

Is this a fricken flash mob? I look around, extremely confused about what was going on. Something important always happens when there's a flash mob.

It's a fight with two to one, lay your money on the sun

Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love?

What you are is what you breathe, you gotta cry before you sing

I look up at him, the flash mob kind of dying down.

Chances, chances

Chances lost are hope's torn up pages

Maybe this time

Chances are we'll be the combination

Chances come and carry me

Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see

He looks down at me, smiling as he sings the last few verses softly and perfectly.

Chances are the fascinations

Chances won't escape from me

Chances are only what we make them and all I need

That's when he kneels down, and my stomach drops. Oh my god.

Is he doing what I think he's doing?

He pulls something out of his pocket, and I don't catch what it is until he holds it in front of me, opening the small black box and revealing a beautiful diamond ring. My hand covers my mouth as tears start to form in my eyes, and that's when he smiles at me, talking.

"Do you remember when I almost threw my keyboard against the wall when I fell in lava?" He asked me, his voice soft, not continuing until I nod. "I promised myself that when I found more diamonds, I'd get you one." He locks eyes with me, slightly nervous, but continuing. "What I'm trying to say is.. Brittany Rae Wild, I love you with everything, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"

I nod uncontrollably, unable to speak, but when he slips the ring onto my finger and stands, I regain my voice. "Oh my god."

He hugs me, and I smile widely into his chest. This is why he's been so distant. We pull away from each other a little bit, and he leans down to kiss me, and I can hear cheers from all around us.

This is the start of something lovely.
