I got in my car and drove from the mall over to my house. I opened the front door and walked in locking it behind me. I walked upstairs to my room and as soon as I walked in I saw Corbyn, Jack, Daniel, Jonah, and Zach. "Surprise!" They exclaimed. I yelped and ran up to them, giving them giant hugs. "What're you guys doing here?" I asked. "The 8 Letters Tour comes to Houston," Corbyn explained, "and you have tickets. One for you, and one for someone of your choice. Front middle section seats baby." I laughed and Zach gave my best friend a death glare for saying baby in a sly tone. I walked over to Zach and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I missed you." I told him. "I missed you too." He smiled. I gave him a peck on the lips and stepped back. "So, I'm guessing you guys are going to stay the night and then go to the concert tomorrow?" I asked. "Yep, and you have school." Jack reminded.
"Actually, I only have to stay until 10am. I'm a senior, remember? All I have to do is finish my art project and I can leave." I told them. Jonah nodded and said, "I'm going to bed with Isabel. You guys have fun." And He went to my sisters room. "Jeanne is with Maddie so I guess Corbyn, Jack, and I will share the queen size in the guest room, while Brynn and Eben sleep downstairs on the couches. I'm guessing Reese, Ryan, Myta, and Josh will have their own room to share. Yeah, good night." Daniel said. I gave him and nod and they left to go to the guest room.
I did my nightly routine, turned on the music I play to help me sleep, and changed into my brother Jacob's old shirt, and black Soffe shorts. I went under the covers and rested my head on Zach's chest. "I missed this." I told him. "I missed this too." He responded, pulling me closer so there was no gap in between us. I smiled as I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up, did my morning routine, and got dressed. I put on Zach's mustard Tour shirt, tucked into a black skater skirt, blight high waisted shorts underneath my skirt, black high top Converse, and contacts. I finished getting ready and went to school.
-After School-
I drove home and changed my shirt to a light gray tank top tucked into my skirt, and my black 8 Letters Jersey that was untucked. I grabbed my bag and my shoes before rushing out the door to get to the concert. I got in my blue 2002 Ford F-150, Lizzie, and drove to the Smart Financial Center in Sugar Land. I pulled up and Eben let me in. "Hey babe." I told Zach as I walked in, giving him a peck on the lips, "I've gotta go watch your siblings, I'll see you in a bit, okay?" He gave me a nod and I left after giving him one more peck on the lips.
"Skylar!" Reese exclaimed as I walked up to them. "He Reese, hey Ryan. So, what do you want to do?"

I changed into my red high top Converse heels and went out to the boys to help with sound check. They were singing, so I grabbed a mic and joined in with them. "Hey Skye, Song is something." Jonah said. "Fine," I said as I rolled my eyes playfully. I sang Mamma Mia from Mamma Mia Here We Go Again, then the boys said they liked my voice and wanted me to sing, so I started singing Bloqueo by my Cousin Lele Pons. Yes, I speak Spanish as well as English and French. I was raised trilingual, okay? After that, we were good. Sound check was over, and I headed over to where the others were and we all hung out for a bit. Eventually, the concert started.

I was in the third row in the middle section on the left listening to what they Where saying, and then this happened; "I would like to invite Skylar Waters up here please." Zach said. I was stunned for a second. Security hustled me up on stage and a stool was brought out for me. I hesitantly sat down and they started to sing Big Plans.
When the song was over Zach walked over to me and made me stand up. He walked me to center stage and said, "Skylar Daisy Waters, I've been in love since I learned what love is, we started dating in secret when we were ten. We've been through hell and back together, you've supported me since the very beginning, I've done the same, even though where thousands of miles away from each other almost every day, we manage to see each other, talk to each other, no matter what. Now, I know you wanted to wait until after college for this, so here's my compromise," He got down on one knee and pulled out a velvet box, at this point I was on the ground with him, with my hands covering my mouth as I cried, the joy over flowing, then he continued with; "Skylar Daisy Waters, will you promise to be by my side no matter what? To love me forever? To marry me in the future?" I couldn't say anything, so I nodded my head, a lot, and the Limelights cheered. He gently grabbed my right hand and slid a ring on my finger. I hugged him as I cried because I was so happy that I couldn't keep it in. Sadly, Zach and I broke apart and he finished the concert.
