The Farmer's Daughter

Lily's P.O.V

The past couple of weeks have been great and terrible all at the same time. The great things are: that me and my family are all okay again, no more arguing, and no more silent treatment. The terrible things: not being with Landon twenty-four seven and the drama at school. I can't wait to graduate and start a new life as an adult. Today is my senior prom, and it is actually my first dance. I never had anyone to go with and I did not want to go alone. I have been looking forward to this dance since the flyer went up, a month ago. I was finishing up cleaning the stalls, when someone called me.

"In here!" I yelled, I finished up by putting Lightning in his stall and giving him a kiss on the forehead.

"There you are dear, come on we have to get you ready." My mother spoke, I looked down at my watch and noticed it was already four o'clock and the dance started at six. I have only two hours ! ! I looked up and ran into the house, leaving my mother shaking her head at me and laughing. I showered making sure I was squeaky clean, than I grabbed my hair blow dryer and started fixing my hair. I decided to curl the ends, and braid to pieces back and connect them at the back. When I was finished I decided to put mascara on, which made my eyelashes look extra dark and long. I went to my mirror and smiled at the dress hanging up. It was white with multiply colors splashed all over it. It was strapless and the top was all colored diamonds and sparkles. It was absolutely perfect. I saw Landon walking out side, still not dressed and we only had half an hour. I was annoyed all this week with him. He showed the least bit excited about this dance. I understand he already graduated three years ago, but this was my first and last dance. I sighed shaking my head, I slipped my dress on and heels, and I was ready to go. I walked down the steps, where Mom, dad, and Travis were all waiting. Landon no where to be found.

"Oh Honey you look absolutely beautiful." My grandmother spoke from her rocking char, I smiled and gave her a hug.

"Thank you Grammy. I love you. Where is Landon?" I asked, Travis shrugged his shoulders, I sighed I was getting stood up. How could he do this? He knew how important this was to me.

"I'm sure there is a good explanation for why he is late." Father spoke, he always did try to be positive. I sighed, but the screen door soon was slammed shut and there appeared Landon. In a blue dress shirt, dress pants, and shoes. I laughed because he rolled the sleeves of his shirt. 

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't find my shirt and then there was a car accident." He rambled on, I kissed his cheek

"Stop. It is okay, you are here now." I smiled, as he smiled down at me. I heard a click I turned my head and there stood mom holding a camera, snapping away. I rolled my eyes and grabbed Landon's hand.

"Okay we are off. See you guys later. Love you" We ran out before they could stop us. We got in Landon's GMC classic truck, and headed to the dance. We were half way in, when the car made a terrible noise. Suddenly, the car stopped and we were sitting in the middle of no where. I stared out of the window, my one chance at a normal high school experience, gone. Landon got out of the truck, popped the hood, and started working. I got out of the truck and tried to get reception.

"Great just great. It is like you willed this to happen." I yelled throwing my phone into the truck.

"What? I willed this to happen. " Landon spoke looking up from the engine.

"Yea. I mean you made it pretty clear all week that you didn't want to go." I crossed my arms, turning my back to him. I heard him sigh, he spun me around and held my shoulders.

"That is not true. I am sorry I was edgy all week, but it wasn't because of this dance. Come here." He turned the radio on, which was playing A Thousand Years. He picked me up bridal style, putting me in the bed of the truck.

"Landon." I groaned, he climbed up and stood in front of me.

"Will you dance with me?" He questioned, I quirked my head and stared at him

"You know how to dance?" I asked and his reply was taking my hands and twirling me around .

"Okay, okay, you know how to dance." I laughed we swayed back and fourth, when he pulled away.

"Lily, I want to give you something. " He reached into his pocket and pulled out a black jewerly box.

"Lan" I gasped, he put it into my hands. I opened it to reveal a promise ring. There was a saying engraved into the inside of the ring. God Gave Me You. You are my Pretty Girl

"Is it okay?"He questioned, he seemed genuinely scared.

"It is absolutely perfect." I smiled, he slide the thin silver band with a small diamond in the middle on my finger. Perfect fit. He grabbed my cheeks with his strong rough hands and rubbed his thumbs against my cheeks.

"I Love you Lily" He smiled, I grabbed his forearms

"I Love you Landon" He lowered his head and captured my lips with his. It was slow, sweet, and full of love. This was way better than some stupid dance.

"I promise that I will love you forever. I promise that I will always protect you. I promise I will always be here for you no matter what. I promise you that I will replace this ring with an engagement ring and then with a wedding band. " I could not take my eyes off of his. He was absolutely perfect. I could not put words together for a reply, so instead I kissed him. We danced the whole night. At the end of the night Landon, got the car to start working and took me to a beautiful meadow . He pulled the truck into the center, and put blankets and pillows in the bed of the truck. He gave me a bag filled with a t shirt and pants.

"I told you parents about this. So need to worry and your mom packed the bag." I changed behind a tree, and met him back at the truck. We laid down and I laid my head on his chest. He wrapped a blanket around us and he encircled my waist with his arms. Our night ended with us staring up into the midnight sky, him singing, and me falling asleep in the arms of my perfect boyfriend.
