Harlee's POV

I decided to be a good person and go visit Taylor, considering she died and I'm now finding out about this.

I hop on a plane, with Jamie tagging along, and fly down to LA to see her. But unfortunately, the only flight that was available was the 5:30 am flight. So I'm falling asleep in the airport, trying so hard to keep my eyes open.

Taylor's POV

Only two days left until I can get out of here. I feel so much better and my surgery went great. I feel like a whole new person. Ryan has been spending as much time with me as possible, but it's hard between spending time with me, and trying to get a new record label. But I haven't been getting very much sleep recently. I'm just exited to sleep in my own bed with Ryan right beside me.

Haleigh's POV

Ian and I are officially together now. We have been dating for at least a week, and I couldn't be happier. I'm staying with him in Nashville right now because he said he wanted to do a duet with me. Funny story actually. Originally I was just in Nashville just to be with him, the second day we were there, I guess he heard me singing in the shower and thought I was pretty good, so now we're doing a duet together, which is pretty cool if you ask me.

Two days later...

Taylor's POV

Today's the day! The day I'm finally able to get up and get out of here! I couldn't be more exited! I saw Harlee the other day, she stopped by with Jamie, AKA her other half. They never do anything without each other. It's like they're attached at the hip or something.

Ryan said he'll be here in about a half an hour to come pick me up, so I just have to keep my self occupied until then.

Ryan's POV

I can't believe Taylor's finally coming home today! It hasn't been the same without her. Hurley and I have really been missing her.

Today I had a meeting with Nash and Jamie, and since Ian wasn't here, we just FaceTimed him. We ended up getting our new record label, which is amazing! And they aren't making us make any drastic changes, so everything is falling into place.

I'm supposed to be on my way to pick up Taylor from the hospital, but trust me when I tell you that LA traffic is the worst! I've been stuck on this one street for about 15 minutes. So I just decided to crank my music and jam out until I can actually take my foot off the brake.

Taylor's POV

I got up from the hospital bed and slipped on some lulu lemon tights, considering it's cold and rainy out and I wanna be comfy, and I put on a flowy tank top and flip flops. I tied my hair back into a loose French braid and started to do a little bit of makeup. I'm still a little weak but right now I'm just so happy to be getting out of here!

I see Ryan walk into the room and I couldn't help but to run up to him and jump into his arms, cupping his face in my hands and kissing him for a few minutes.

"I've missed you so much!" I wrap my arms around his neck, hugging him tightly, still in his arms.

"I've missed you too! Even Hurley is exited for you to come home" He reconnects our lips together.

Ryan then puts me down, and I grab my phone and bag, as Ryan intertwines our hands together as he checks me out of the hospital, and we then head to the car.

It's about 7:00 pm on a Saturday, and I think Ryan and I are just going to spend it together watching movies and pigging out on food that I couldn't have in the hospital.

As we walk up the stairs to the house, and Ryan and I walk inside with his arm around my waist, as mine is around his, I take a deep breath in, soaking up everything that I've missed.

Ryan then turns on the lights and about 50 people jump out from everywhere all yelling "welcome home Taylor!" and balloons and confetti are flying everywhere. Tears start streaming down my face.

"Did you do this?" I look up at Ryan.

"Yes I did! I wanted to make sure you knew how exited we all were, waiting for you to come home" he placed a kiss to my lips.

Music is blaring, people are drinking and everyone is having a blast. I've missed this so much, and I'm just so glad to be back.

Ryan turns off the music, and steps up onto a chair, tapping his glass, catching everyone's attention.

"Hey guys! I'd like to say something!" He announces.

"I'm sure as you all know, Taylor has been in the hospital for quite some time. And we have all missed her so much, words can't even describe it! But she has to be one of the strongest women I've ever met. She has fought through more shit in the past 3 months, that most of us have experienced in our life. So raise your glasses to her! And thank you for keeping her in your prayers! I'd be lost without her. And I'm sure I'm not the only one! Thank you all of you for coming tonight. Majority of you are very close friends of Taylor's and have known the rough patches she's been through over the course of her life. Taylor, I love you so much, thank you for everything you've done for me, I couldn't pick a better person to call mine. We have been together for 10 amazing months, and I wouldn't trade it for the world." He steps off the chair and kneels down in front of me. "We haven't known each other for long, but long enough to know that I love you more than life itself, and you're the one person, the only person I want to be with. Taylor, will you marry me?" he pulls a ring box out of his pocket, still on his knees. I can't help but to be crying rivers here. That had to be one of the sweetest things I've ever heard.

"Of course!" I begin smiling like crazy.

Ryan then slips the ring onto my finger, and wraps his arms around my legs, lifting me up as he stands up, kissing me ever so gently. I pull away and look at him in the eyes, our foreheads are connected, and his face cupped in my hands.

"I love you" I whisper.

"I love you more" he whispers back, reconnecting our lips together.

Ryan then puts me back down, and plays the music again.

Haleigh and Ian then walk over to me.

"Hey! I thought you two were in Nashville!?" I say in shock.

"We were, but do you really think that we'd miss this? You have no idea how long Ryan has been planning this for, do you?" Haleigh exclaims.

"Obviously not, it was a surprise party" Ian chuckles.

"He came up with the idea like three weeks ago" Ian explains.

"Holy shit, really?" I say in aw.

"Yeah! he really loves you!" Haleigh continues.

It's now about 2:30 am and everyone just left. Ryan and I are cleaning up the house, and I am exhausted! Ryan picks me up bridal style and plops me on the bed.

"Can I wear one of your shirts tonight?" I ask looking at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Yes you can" he chuckles, kissing my cheek.

"Okay!" I say like a child, running over to the closet.

I slip off my outfit, and throw on his shirt. Wearing no pants has to be one of the best feelings ever! So let's not wear any!

Once I've got Ryan's shirt on, I trot off to the bathroom to brush my teeth and remove any makeup I have on. I walk back into the bedroom to see Ryan laying there in sweatpants and no shirt on. I trot over and hop into bed beside him, as he cuddles me in his arms. I turn over so I'm facing him, with my head laying on his chest, and his arm wrapped around me.

"I've missed this" Ryan whispers, kissing the top of my head.

"Me too" I reach up to kiss his cheek, but can't reach, so I kissed his jaw bone instead.

He flips me over, hovering overtop of me, my arms wrapped around his neck. Kissing me.

Next thing I know, we are both missing clothes, and Ryan is sound asleep, with cuddled up in his arms, like I'm his teddy bear.

"Goodnight Ry" I whisper, kissing his forehead.
