Ronnie's POV

My heart was battering against my chest, feeling as though it was going to burst out.

Shattering all my ribs it felt like.

Nothing I have ever felt before.

My eyes burned.

Like a fire had been lit behind them.

Again, nothing I had ever felt before.

Because this was something I have never expirenced before.

My cheeks hurt, stung like two bees were holding them up.

My heart throbbed and do did my skin.

As his knee pressed against the bathroom tile and his hand reached into his pocket.

My tears started to spill over and down my cheeks.

I knew what was happening.

I had fully possessed everything that was going on in the current situation.

From my general awareness and knowledge, he was proposing.

Colby was proposing marriage.

I was only 19 and he was 20.

We had our whole lives ahead of us.

I was too young to ger married.

I wanted to marry him, I really do.

Just not now.

His shakey hands slid over the box, a click sounded through the bathroom.

Revealing a beautiful crystal band.

The one I showed him.

On Instagram funny enough.

It was beautiful.

Silver and lined with crystals.

I wasn't going to say no.

I couldn't.

But I had to tell him,

"Ronnie" he croak out, shaking like crazy.

I crouched down and placed a hand on his shoulder.

He exhaled the breath he was holding and his eyes closed, calming himself down.

His eyes shot open and searched mine, grinning like an idiot,

"Ronnie. We don't have to get married right away, I just want to know that we have each other and- that we one day will finally.. seal the deal" he stuttered.
