When we got to Red Robin, we were, once again, mobbed by fans. Well, Josh, Tyler, Nattie, and I got mobbed, while Liz, Brittany, Robbie, and Bryan laughed at us and went and got us a table. Eventually, we broke free and went to sit at the table with our friends. "Sorry guys. We can't go anywhere without fans mobbing us. We try," Tyler said.

"It's ok. We get it. You guys are Twenty Øne Piløts. It's natural that you'll get fans," Liz said, and everyone else nodded.

"Thanks for understanding guys," Josh said.

"No biggie," Robbie said.

After a few minutes, a waitress came and took our drink orders, and none of us got a non-alcoholic drink. I guess that's what happens when you have long plane rides or ruined plans. "So, what a day, huh?" Nattie asked while taking a drink of her rum and Coke.

"Yes it was, but in a good way. Well, kind of. It was a good day except for it starting to dump rain on us right as Josh and I got to the park," I said.

"And our flight was horrible with turbulence, and the kid behind me would not shut up," Brittany said.

"Hey, we got here right?" Bryan said.

"And our anniversary wasn't a total bust," Josh said.

"You're right, it wasn't. We have our friends with us, and that's all that matters. Today was really good day today guys. Cheers to that," I said, raising my glass of wine.

Everyone chorused a "cheers" and raised their own drinks. We all drank, and when we did the waitress came back for our food orders. We ordered, and she rushed back into the kitchen. I leaned on Josh's shoulder. "Happy anniversary," I said quietly.

He smiled. "Happy anniversary."

I took another bite of my mac and cheese and smiled as Nattie continued the story. "And so, I'm sitting at the table group next to Chloe, behind her is this girl Princess, next to Princess is this kid Greg, and next to Chloe is Ryan. And so, Chloe's telling me all this as this happens, and we still swear up and down he got it from Mrs. Altenbach."

"Nah, my money's still on Princess," I said.

"I dunno, Chloe, you're an option too," Liz said.

"Why? He only talked to me because I sat next to him and he never did his homework," I said.

"Come on, you know better. Remember high school and all the parties we got invited to because you knew him," Brittany said.

"Yeah, in high school we had a 'thing', I guess, but in middle school, I was a nobody and he was a 'Ryner', and that was how things went. Plus, I had no luck with boys in my lifetime before I met Josh," I said, "And I'm glad I met him because now I'm the happiest girl on earth."

Then Josh looked at Tyler, and Ty nodded. Then Josh stood up, and he told me to stand up too. My face turned really confused. "Josh wha- oh my god," I muttered when Josh got down on one knee, reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box.

"Chloe, I'm glad I make you happy, and you do the same to me. I love you, I love your friends, your family, living with you and Ty. And that's all I really want, for as long as I live. I want to make you happy. So, Chloe Michelle Masters, will you marry me?"

The whole restraunt was watching us. "I... I don't know what to say. Of course I'll marry you!" I said.

He stood up, and I tackled him in a hug. "I really do love you Chloe."

"I love you too," I said as he slipped the ring on my finger.

The ring was absolutely beautiful. It wasn't a diamond ring, but it was even better. It was gold with an emerald stone in the shape of a heart and four small diamonds the left side of the heart. Emerald was my birthstone, since my birthday's in May, and Josh always knew how important emerald was to me.

I looked into his eyes. We kissed, and the whole restraunt exploded in applause. "Hey guys, your food's gonna get cold!" Nattie called sarcastically.

I laughed and sat back down, smiling ear to ear. "Wow. Just... wow. I promised myself I wouldn't cry when I got engaged, and now there goes that promise," I said, wiping tears from my eyes.

We all laughed. "It's ok babe. You're not the only one at the table crying. In fact, look around the table. Everyone is crying," Josh said.

He was right. Everyone was crying, even Bryan and Robbie, aka the "toughest guys at the table". Crybabies. "Hey, why don't you sing, Clo," Nattie said.

"Yeah, sing a song about what it's like to be the future Mrs. Josh Dun," Bryan said.

"Uh, ok. Hm, let's see... how about Tear in my Heart, because babe, you are the tear in my heart, and I love you for it," I said.

So I found the instrumental version on YouTube, and I sang. By the end, the whole restraunt was watching me for the second time in the past half hour, and everyone clapped when I finished. I stood up and bowed. When I sat back down, I said, "Ok then, I think I'm ready to go home."

Everyone agreed. So we paid the check, then got up and left. As soon as I got home, I changed into my PJs and got in bed. Josh got in with me, and after my amazingly long day, I fell asleep in my new fiancée's arms.
