Everything Changes

Chapter 7

Thomas Beckmann

I Don't want to go because Adam's gonna be there. Maybe I should go. Not for me but for Katie. Ugh I need a drink. I walk over to the liquor cabinet and it's empty. "Damnit!" I screamed. The only other way to get beer is the bar. So I grabbed my coat and head off. I take Katie's advice and walk instead of drive. Just in case I get too drunk. Well that definitely did happen.

"Jack Daniels please." I said to the bartender. Once I got my drink, I walked up to a table where this beautiful French girl was sitting all alone. "Hi, the name's Thomas. What's yours beautiful?" I asked her. "My name?.. Megan." she replied. "Drinks on me." I said with a wink. She smiled. The bar was sorta like a club. It had a dance floor. We both had three to four drinks before she led me to the dance floor. She was an amazing dancer. We danced for a couple hours and I decided to take her back to me and Katie's house. I didn't think about what I was about to do. All I was thinking about was how Megan and I danced.

That morning I woke up in my bed with the biggest headache ever. Megan was on Katie's side and my arms were around her waist for some odd reason. Oh my god.. I slept with a girl that wasn't Katie! What did I do?!! first I hit her, and then I go behind her back with another woman.. She can't know. It was a big mistake that was never meant to happen. Once she wakes up I have to leave for that flight! I just have and errand to run first.

"Hi, I'm looking to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend. Do you have any suggestions?" I asked the man behind the glass desk. "Ah oui, I think a diamond and blue sapphire would satisfy your needs. What about this one?" he asked. It was the most biggest and most beautiful ring I've ever seen. "how much?" "$3,457.45" he said with a smile. I pulled out my wallet and grabbed my card. I swiped it and took the box with the ring in it. They wrapped it for me too. As soon as I got the ring and paid for it I left for the airport.

When I got off the plane I took a taxi to the Atwood mansion. I knocked on the door.

Katie Atwood

When is he coming.. I need him here tonight for the party.. Dad already has his tux too.. Just then I heard the doorbell ring.

It was him.. "You're here!!" I smiled as I ran to give him a hug. I was going to ask him why he's here late but I'm just glad he made it.

Later, mom told me it was time to get ready. Dad took Thomas and they got ready and mom was with them, and I'm by myself. I sat down at my vanity and out my make-up on and curled my hair and pinned it to the left side. After I did that it was time to put on my dress. When I pulled it up I realized it looked even more beautiful with my hair up and make up done. I sat down on my bed and put my heels on. I stood, looking at myself in the mirror for a good ten minutes, than made my way downstairs.

Thomas Beckmann

Mr. Atwood helped me with my tux and hair. Then I finally asked him.

"

Mr. Atwood, I'd like to ask if I could have your permission to ask your daughter to marry me." I was worried of what hed say.

He chuckled in reply. "Yes, you have my permission Thomas." he smiled. "I'm going to ask tonight at the party.". "Good deal." he said as we shook hands.

Then we made way to the front entrance. Katie was walking down the steps. Wow.. She looks stunning! She's going to be the most beautiful bride. If she says yes..

Katie Atwood

"Wow, you look gorgeous!" Thomas smiled.

"You don't look too bad yourself." I laughed.

We got in the car to go to the country club. When we arrived to the ballroom, I was blown away. It didn't look like it did 2 years ago.

"would you love to dance?" Thomas said.

I smiled and nodded yes.

We danced for a little while, then were called to eat. After that we started to dance again. But this time, He stopped in the middle of the floor underneath the disco ball. He got down on one knee and pulled a small box from his pocket.

What's happening...

"Katlynn Nicole Atwood. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I promise to love you for the rest of your life. I love you now, I'll love you later, I'll love you forever. Will you marry me?." He said.

I didn't know what to say. But without thinking I said "yes, I will". And before you know it he jumps up so excited and full of joy and outs the ring on my finger. I hug him tightly, and start to cry happy tears.

I can't believe this happened.. I'm 21 now. We'll get married probably in may. Because I want an outside wedding. I love him so much. But I thought we were gonna wait.. I wonder what changed our minds..

I wonder if its to cover up something he did, or he just really wants to get married.. It's hard to tell because you're talking about the person you love...
