Chapter 21

Adora's P.O.V

It took us a couple more minutes to get to the middle of the clearing. He set down the basket and opened it, pulling out a blanket. He spread it out and told me to sit down. I slowly did so, making sure my dress was properly placed.

"Jerome, why are we dressed all fancy if we are just sitting in the middle of a field?" I ask, looking at him. "Plans changed and I had no time to warn you, so I just made it work" he replies, starting to take out my best friend... food.

"Got it" I nod my head, my mouth starting to water. "Okay, so we have classic Subway, beer, soda, and cheesecake (I'm not sure if you like these things Adora, so bear with me:P, well, beer is a given, but ya know)

"Yum." He hands me a sandwich and a beer. His hand brushes mine and I pull away quickly, blushing. He looks down and occupies himself with his food.

I take a bite into my sandwich and I feel something like paper in my sandwich. "Damn employees!" I whisper and examine the item blocking me from eating.

I pull it out carefully so the sandwich doesn't fall apart. I read it through the sauce and food.

'Follow the flowers and come find me! -Jerome'

I look up and finally realize Jerome isn't there, but a trail of flowers leading into the trees. Romantic bastard.

I get up, groaning. Why did I sit for so long? I take a step and almost crush a flower. I bend down and pick it up.

It was a white water lily. I pull it close to my chest and walk towards the trees. This guy was stealthy, because I didn't hear him get up.

I place my foot on the dead pine needles and continue.

Jerome's P.O.V

Adora bit down on the piece of paper, and it was my time to shine. I swiftly got up and ran into the forest when she was reading the note.

I picked the flowers out of my pocket and started to drop them in a trail behind me. I reached the forest and dropped the brighter ones so she could see where to go.

I finally reached the place where I knew I was to do it. Lights were strung from the trees and the flowers added that extra touch.

There was a gazebo out here, so I strung lights up there too. I dropped all of the other flowers I had onto the floor. It was all ready.

I stood there and waited.

Adora's P.O.V

I found another flower almost behind a tree, telling me to turn right. I turn and see lights up in trees and more flowers.

I lightly laugh to myself and follow the trail of flowers. I see more lights and a gazebo. There stood Jerome as well, shifting from foot to foot.

I grinned and ran up to him. "What is all this?" I yell, waving my hands all over the place. "I have something to ask you" he replies.

I clutch the flower in my hand. I completely forgot it was there.

Jerome's P.O.V

"I have something to ask you" I say, slowly reaching in my pocket and wrapping my sweaty fingers around the box.

Her hands tighten over a flower she has in her hands. I kneel on one knee and pull out the box.

"Adora, this is NOT a proposal, this is a simple question with a little gift to go with it, so here it is." I take a deep breath and begin the long waited speech.

"Adora, I remember the first time I saw you, in that McDonald's, with your parents and even though I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could tell it wasn't good. But, that's beside the point. My point is, when I first saw you, I knew I might make you mine one day, and this may or may not be the day I do so. So, Adora Kate Morgan" I open the box, revealing a small ring. "Will you do the honors of being my girlfriend?"

Adora's P.O.V

"Will you do the honors of being my girlfriend?" he asks, opening the box. I gasp, hands flying up to my mouth.

"YES!" I squeal. He stands up and crushes me in a hug. I place my head in the crook of his neck.

"I thought you would say no" he whispers, pulling away. "Why would I?" He shrugs and I smile. "I wouldn't."

He grins and his lips came crashing down on mine. I kiss back. Well, why wouldn't I?

(Thought I was going to end it there? NOOOPPPEE!)

Bell's P.O.V

I pull my car into the driveway and lean back in my seat, sighing loudly. "Why does life have to be stressful?" I whisper to myself.

I hear a knock on my window and jump a foot out of my seat. I whip my head around and Mitch is standing there with a huge grin on his face. I stick up my middle finger and push open the car door.

"Well, someone is in a bitchy mood tonight" he muses, turning his grin into a smirk. "Fuck you bastard" I reply, pushing past him. "Mind if I ask what happened?" I turn to him and raise an eyebrow. "So you care?"

He frowns and slowly nods. "Yeah, I do. Didn't you know that?" I shrug and turn around. "Bell!" He grabs my arm and spins me around. He puts his hands on my shoulders. "Bell, I care about you more then I care about my sister, my mom and my brother. So, yes, I care, so tell me." His eyes glaze over in hurt.

I sigh and look down. "Sorry, it's just I haven't been sleeping, eating and I just quit my job today. I tried taking out my anger at the gym today, but I guess I was storing some." One tear trickled down my cheek.

He tipped my chin up and wiped away the tear with his finger. "You don't need to apologize. I understand. I haven't been sleeping or eating lately, and the amount of videos I put out has been scarce. Pax is just 2 days away..." He trails off and looks down.

"Yeah Pax. But your fans deserve to see you and not me. I'm not the famous one, you are, and I don't want to take you away from that. You deserve to go." He smiles and takes my hand.

"Let's go inside." He drags me inside and to the kitchen. "Why the hell are we in the kitchen?" He pointed to the fridge. "We are going to catch up on our food intake."

I frowned and walked to the fridge. I opened one of the doors and pulled out an apple. "No" Mitch said, putting the apple back. "Something bigger." I sighed. This is going to be a long time.

~2 hours later~

Mitch's P.O.V

Bell fell asleep while we were watching "The Fault In Our Stars" and she had small tears stains under her eyes and all over her cheeks.

She looked quite cute this way. Her hair was strewn everywhere and one piece was in her mouth. I carefully pulled it out of her mouth, not wanting to wake her up.

I carefully lift her up and slide myself out from under her, falling on the ground with a thump.

I sit up, rubbing my back. I groan and get up. I slowly walk to my room. I flop on my bed and nod off to sleep.
