Olivia's P.O.V.

What day is it?

Saturday.

What time is it?

10 am.

And what am doing?

Trolling Buzzfeed.

I really need to get a life.

Allie's still asleep. Her plane from London got in last night. The plan is for Maddy to pick up Bridget from Yale and meet me and Allie at her place. Emma and Seth are gonna drive up from Massachusetts and Vermont respectively. We all have keys to her house, and because New York is kinda the center of where we all live, it's become sort of our default meeting place.

But Allie's still asleep, and I'm bored. And Bridget, Maddy, Seth and Emma aren't gonna show up till noon at the earliest. And knowing them it's probably not going to be the earliest. So more Buzzfeed it is.

NYU Student Flash Mob Proposal

Aww. I know it's sappy, but I LOVE this stuff. It's completely adorkable.

I click the link, and it opens to a page of a girl studying in the middle of a park. The song "Chasing Cars" comes on, and the camera pans to a blond guy singing.........Ohmygod.

It's Jonah.

And Maddy.

The 3 minute video covers basically what is the cutest proposal ever.

OMG.

One of my best friends is fucking engaged.

At that moment Allie chooses to enter the kitchen. Before she can see the video, I slam my laptop closed.

"What were you watching Liv?"

"Nothing." Ha. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Yeah right.

"You want breakfast?"

She nods sleepily, yawns, and walks back to the living room

That was close.

I grab my phone and dial Maddy's number.

She's got a lot of explaining to do.

Allie's P.O.V.

Seth and Emma have shown up, and Bridget just texted us that they're just around the corner.

I've missed everyone, especially Seth. We used to fight a lot more when we were in middle school, but now....I guess you just grow out of that kind of stuff. Having a twin is cool.......for the most part.

"Hi!!"

Yep, Maddy's here. I know it's her cause she just barged in. Bridget at least would've knocked. A moment later they both appear in the kitchen.

"We come bearing....well we ate most of the food, but I'm pretty sure there's still chips and guacamole."

I missed my friends. I jump up to give them a hug, but Olivia beats me to it. Surprisingly, she doesn't try to hug either of them. Instead she goes right up to Maddy.

"Spill it." She demands.

"What?" Maddy looks the picture of innocence, but I know her too well. She's hiding something.

"You know what I mean."

Maddy grins and holds up her left hand, wiggling her fingers teasingly. A ring sparkles on her finger.

She's wearing an engagement ring?

"Ohmigosh!!" I basically throw myself at her. "You're getting married!!"

"WHAT?" Emma, Seth and Bridget shriek. They all jump up as well, and we all crowd around Maddy.

Her ring's gorgeous. It's three bands of silver, each covered in varying sizes of small jewels, all around the one big diamond in the center. I love it.

Everyone's asking a million questions and I can't piece together a damn thing.

"QUIET!"

We all immediately shut up. Maddy may be loud, but she sure knows how to get our attention.

She pulls her MacBook out of her bag, opens it, and turns it to an obviously previously set-up video.

It starts with her sitting in the NYU campus. I know the park she's at, she took me there when I went to visit her last year.

A piano intro starts to play, and the camera pans to Jonah, singing the song "Chasing Cars". Aww. That's like, their song. Through the entire song, he leads her all around the campus, making each lyric just so sweet and perfect. The roses, the cars. It's absolutely adorable.

The song ends, and he kneels down, pulling the ring out. I can see the tears streaming down Maddy's face. Not that I blame her. If Niall proposed to me like that I'd probably just start bawling at the first notes. That'd make headlines. "One Direction Girlfriend Falls Apart at Proposal".

Yeah.....

I'm that girl.

Holy crap.

One of my best friends is getting married.
