GUYS LISTEN TO THE SONG WHILE READING THIS CHAPTER!
HALLE POV It's beautiful. Fairy lights everywhere along the pier, a boat that has my name lit up and rose petals everywhere. I love him. He has stuck post it notes everywhere to lead me to him, I pick up the first one. "I know white wine is your favorite, where can you find me?" I laugh and run to the bar, under a cold glass of white wine is another note. "Photography session?" It says, I had to think about this one but then I remembered Grayson and Ethan had a photo shoot here! I ran over to the life saving tower, sure enough, post it note on the surfboard "last one, 10 steps to your right and walk straight, I'll meet you there".
I stand at the start of the pier is awe, a line of every color rose petals laid out guiding me to the end of the pier. I start to cry, this is amazing. I begin to walk and eventually I'm face to face with Grayson. He smiles and kisses me. "Gray-" "Sh" he places his finger over my lips. "We can talk later, this is my chance" he grabs my hands.
"Ever since I first met you I knew you were the one Halle, you have your own special features that make you special to me. Your laugh, your hair when you haven't brushed it all day, your artistic skills, your love, your passion for caring for other people, everything makes you perfect" he begins to tear up. At this point I'm sobbing, what did I do to deserve this beautiful human?
"Grayson we need to talk" I stutter, "that can wait Halle, I need to do this" he demands.
"I've been planning this day since New Jersey I just couldn't figure out a right time to do it, but this has to be the time" he huffs. He wipes away my tears and hugs me.
GRAYSON POV I'm standing here hand in hand with the love of my life, she's beautiful. I want her to be my forever, I can't see a future with anyone else, and I just hope she's feeling the same way.
I squeeze her hand a little tighter. We stand there and hug for a few minutes, her company is home, no one can ever replace her.
I que the music and a song comes on, I pull her closer and we sway from side to side, just appreciating eachother.. she's sobbing and I feel like something else is wrong with her but I need to do this if I don't do it now I don't think I'll ever do it. I can see the photographers and videographer in the boat recording every moment of this..
I'm overwhelmed, every moment of this I will cherish forever.. but I can't help but to listen to the other voice in my head telling me something isn't right.. I can feel distance between us..why is this happening right now? It's like we are disconnected. she's been working hard with her Art and becoming the successful teacher she can be but it has been a few days since I last seen her.. has things changed? She wouldn't choose art over me would she? Maybe I'm just overthinking this whole thing..
HALLE POV The music has stopped and suddenly I feel anxious and nauseous. My heart is pounding..
"Halle, I'm nervous" he chuckles. "You're the one I want to be with forever. I want you to mother our children and help guide me through life. You're my princess but I need a queen in my life. I want to love you for the rest of my life and give you the best of me until the day that I die" he cries. "You've been here every step since the day that we met and I'm scared to think of a life without you".
This is not happening, no.
He sighs.
He gets down on one knee and I sob. "Grayson" I cry, "no Halle shh". He won't let me stop him.
"From the first day I saw you I knew I'd say I do. I can't wait to cry when I see you walking down the aisle on the arm of your father.."
He pulls out a box of his suit..
I gasp. The ring is gorgeous.

"will you marry me?" He chuckles with tears.
"Grayson" his smile fades away.. This is the hardest decision of my life.
I find my self questioning it all, "art is my passion but is he my art?....."
