*Hayes' POV*

"Hey Nash, can you do me a favor?" I said from Nash's doorway.

"Yeah bro. What?" he asked

"I'm going to ask Skylie out tonight. I need you to drive me to the jewerly store." I told him.

"Dude, it's not a proposal. You don't need a ring." Nash laughed.

"I want to, now drive me." I commanded.

"You really care don;t you?" his face got serious.

"I do," I smiled, " Now please?"

Nash nodded and I went into my room to get all the cash I had. I only had around 1,000.00. I hoped I could get her something nice.

We got into Nash's car and he took me over to the jewelry store. He told me to text him when I was ready.

"Hayes, take this," Nash handed me an envelope,

"What's this?" I asked.

"Just let me pull away and then you can open it." Nash waved goodbye as he pulled away.

I opened the envelope. There was a note.

This is my girl fund. Since I do not have a girl, I am giving you this money. There is 500.00, choose wisely. It's all yours little bro, Nash.

I laughed and opened the door. I walked up to the counter and the woman just stared.

"Why are you here little boy? Are you lost?" she asked me.

"I've got 500.00 and I came to buy a ring." I said as serious as possible.

She looked at me again, this time like she knew I meant business.

"What kind of ring are you looking for?" she pulled a catalog out from behind the counter.

"A promise ring." I said," not even glancing through the catalog.

She pulled a container from the cabinet and I instantly knew which one I wanted.

"Can I have the rose gold one please?" I asked.

"Yes sir, what color box?" she pointed to an assortment.

"Yellow, it's her favorite color."

I handed her the cash and she gave me the ring. I texted Nash to come get me. He came so fast it felt like he never left.

"Thanks Nash." I said.

"Just helping my brother out with love." he laughed.

I can't wait to give the love of my life this ring.

*Skylie's POV*

I heard Nash pull into the driveway with Hayes. I wonder where Hayes had been... Now, I sound like a stalker. Anyways, Nash and Hayes both walked up the stairs with their hands in their pockets... Weirdos.

I had been really lonely all day so I went up to Hayes' room to ask him if he wanted to play XBOX.

"Hey Hayes." I said.

"Skylie, Can I tell you something?" he asked me.

"Yeah, of course." I took a seat on the bed.

He pulled something out of his pocket. It was in a tiny box. He opened the box and got on one knee, " Skylie, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Oh Hayes!!" I said in tears, " Yes I will!!!"

I felt like I had been proposed to.

He picked me up and twirled me, pressing his lips to mine.
