When we got back from fall break, nothing changed between us. If anything we got closer. We discussed what we want to do after high school and we both want to move to LA. As the weeks zoom by, I fall more and more in love with Demi. I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

********************************************

It's two weeks before graduation. I'm at Savanah's house to ask her opinion on something.

"So what's up? Is everything okay?" She asks as we walk into her room.

"Oh, yeah! Everything's fine... I just need to ask your opinion on something...."

"Okay, what is it?"

"We'll... What would you say if I told you that... I... I'm going to... Um... I'm going to propose to Demi grad-"

" OH MY GOD! That is so cute! I think you should do it!" She squeals as she hugs me.

"Great! So... I kind of need help picking out a ring... Will you go with my tomorrow to look?"

"Of course I will!"

The next day we go to the jewelry store and pick out a simple, but beautiful engagement ring. It's white gold with a strip of white diamonds. On the inside I had 'Forever' engraved.

As soon as I get home, I head straight to Demi's house. I know she isn't home because I had Mackie take her somewhere so I can talk to her mom alone.

I knock on the door and within seconds Dianna answers the door, greeting me with a big hug.

"Hey Dianna! Can I talk to you about something?"

"Of course. Come in and take a seat."

We walk into the living room and sit on the couch.

"So... I've been dating your daughter for eight months and I love her so much... What I'm here to ask you is... Can I have your blessing to marry your daughter?"

"Le, you've pretty much been a part of my family since the first day I met you. It would make me proud to be able to call you my daughter-in-law. Of course you have my blessing. I know that you will always treat her right."

As soon as she's finishes speaking, I wrap her in a huge hug with silent tears streaming down my face.

"Thank you so much. You have no idea how much that means to me."

"So when are you going to ask her?" She asks, pulling away from the hug.

"The night of graduation."

"That will be so cute. Demi is going to love it."

With that I thank her again and head home to start making arrangements for graduation night.

"Demetria Devonne Lovato." The principal calls and she walks across the stage to accept her diploma. My name is called soon after. It's the strangest feeling. It doesn't feel like this should be happening... But it is. And in a few short hours I will be engaged... If she says yes, that is.
