Rose's POV
"Rose?" Hunter's raspy voice sounds through the apartment. "Yeah, babe?" I respond, turning around and looking at him as he enters the kitchen. "What do you think about going on a date tonight?" He rests his hands on my hips. "That would be great." I smile and kiss him quickly. "Alright, tone it down on the PDA." Blaine walks in followed by Sam. "Oh, be quiet." I roll my eyes at them. "Seriously, you won't get breakfast if you keep talking like that." I point at them.
Blaine puts his hands up in surrender and sits down at the table next to Sam. Hunter joins them and they make conversation until I place the pancakes I've just made in front of them. "How are you so good at cooking?" Sams voice is muffled through the food. "I don't really know. I guess I just helped my mom so much when I was younger that it's just kind of in my blood, I guess." I furrow my eyebrows and sit next to Hunter. "Thanks, babe." Hunter kisses my cheek. "Your welcome." I smile at him.
"So, I'm hanging out at Kurt's apartment tonight." Blaine tells us, Sam joining in with, "Me, too." "Okay, so it's just us." Hunter looks at me. "Um, no. I'll be here." Santana walks in. Oh, I forgot to mention that Santana moved back in after Rachel's opening night. Well, we now have five people living in this apartment. "Oh, before I forget. I need you in the studio for last minute preparations." I request. "Okay. When are we leaving?" She sits beside me and takes some pancakes onto her plate.
I look at my watch quickly before answering, "About forty-five minutes." She nods, and continues eating. We finish up and get ready to leave for the studio. "I'll see you later." I kiss Hunter. "Bye, babe." He kisses my cheek.

After leaving the studio, Santana and I ride to Spotlight Diner so she can work her shift. As we walk in, I notice that Hunter is nowhere to be seen. He should be here. I mean, our date was supposed to be here. "That's weird, Hunter isn't-" I get cut of by Santana. "Yes, he is." She points to the stage. Where he, Rachel, Kurt, Blaine, Mercedes, Sam, and now Santana are standing. I give them a confused look and they smile at me. "Rose, I just want you to know I love you so much." Hunter looks at the band and they start playing music. I recognize it as 'Mirrors' by Justin Timberlake, my favorite song right now.
[Hunter]
Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Aren't you something, an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
Ooh I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you looking back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Hunter comes over to me and grabs my hands. "Rose, this past year has been amazing. And, I know that we're young, but I love you and I can't imagine life without you. I don't want to take any chances of losing you, so I'm going to take every precaution I can. That includes the biggest one anyone could think of." Hunter looks me in the eyes, and tears begin to well up. Is he really going to? "Rose, I would never be able to get up in the morning knowing that you weren't fully mine." He gets down on one knee and my legs shake. "Will you allow me to do the honor of taking your hand in marriage?" Hunter opens the box and I cover my mouth with my hands.
"Y-Yes, of course." He places the ring on my finger and hugs me tightly. Everyone in the building cheers happily. "I love you so much." I cry kissing Hunter. "I love you more." He whispers in my ear.
I have everything I could ever ask for, and I don't need anything more.
THE END.
