I Hate You More

Chapter Twenty Two: Shattered

It was a couple hours after I had to drop Liz off and now I decided I would get dressed for whatever Dally had in mind. I scavenged through my closet to come upon a loose overall dress and a yellow turtleneck top. I threw it on and looked at myself in the mirror. I've recently gained confidence in myself. I tell myself all the time that I'm beautiful and people may think that's weird but it helps me. Dallys also done a good job at reminding me. I did a small twirl then headed downstairs. I ran out to my car then jumped in the driver's seat. "Dally here we come!" I exclaimed to myself.
I drove the two hours by myself and was really hoping that's where Dally was otherwise I was going to have to drive back and I'll be late. plus where would our first kiss could've been?

Dallys p.o.v-
Cali should be on her way right now. I'm patiently sitting at the lake house all by myself. I had Darry drop me off so Cali and I could drive back together. We've been dating for almost three months and Cal is already pregnant. And through those past three months I've felt different then I've felt with any other girl. I enjoy being around her actually and I truly love her. Although it's only been three months I think I'm going to ask her to marry me. What could go wrong? As thoughts were flooding my mind I seen headlights shine through the foggy window.

Cali's p.o.v
I pulled into the driveway and hopped out of the car. I slowly made my way to the front door really hoping this is the destination he had in mind. I slipped the key he left on the dresser into the door and walked in. I seen roses all throughout the room and beautiful candles lit everywhere. Dally was standing in the back waiting for my arrival. He walked up closer to me and grabbed my waist gently. "Man do you look beautiful." He slightly smiled as he kissed my lips.
"Dally what's all of this?" I giggled as I glanced around the candle lit room.
"Me being something I'm not usually." He laughed to himself. "Now why don't we eat dinner." He suggested.
I took the hand he offered out to me as he led me to the kitchen. He sat me down at the dining room table with lovely red place settings and stunning shiny silverware placed neatly beside the plate. "You didn't have to do this love." I smiled at Dally.
"But I wanted to so I did. Like they say I always get what I want." He smirked his famous Dallas Winston smirk then took my hand from across the table. "You look beautiful doll did I say that yet?" He lightly grinned.
"I think you did but it never hurts to say it again." I confidently smiled.
"Doll I really love you." He stated.
"I love you too." I blushed.
"I know we've only been dating for three months but I do love you." He let go of one of my hands and brought it to his jacket.

Dallys p.o.v
I let go of one of her hands and went to find the ring in my jacket pocket. Once my hand started to search for the ring I felt nothing. I searched everywhere around the big pocket that was sewn into my jacket. I searched my three other pockets and I still found nothing. "What are you doing babe?" She asked confused as I searched frantically around my pocket.
"Um nothing. But do you mind heading into our room and grabbing the pink bag?" I asked trying to stall time. There's no pink bag but I just need her to be surprised still.
"Sure thing where is it?" She asked all sweetly.
"Um I don't know but it's somewhere in there." I nervously smiled. She walked out of the room and started to look everywhere. I ran as fast as I could to the car and looked everywhere for the little velvet blue box. I looked in every compartment but there was nothing. I ran back into the cabin and started to look everywhere. I searched the tiny kitchen the couch. Literally everything. I couldn't find this box. That's when it hit me. I never took it out of my bag. That's when I heard a tiny squeal come from our room.

Cali p.o.v
As I was searching for this pink bag I decided maybe it was in the bag he packed for us. I opened the zipper and seen a tiny little box. This didn't look like a normal box that Dally would be carrying around. I decided the best option was to open the box. Once I did, I saw a beautiful silver ring. No ordinary ring a wedding ring. Is he going to propose! I let out a tiny squeal as I stared at the shining ring. I stood there as dally raced into the room. I tried to hide the box back in the bag but it was almost useless. Dally came up to me and toon the ring from me as he laughed. "I see you found my little surprise."
"I wouldn't say little but yes I think I found it." I smiled widely.
"Well since you found it," He said as he got down onto one knee, "will you do the honor of marrying me and becoming Cali Winston?" He asked.
"Y-" before I could even finish we heard a shatter of a window then a gun being fired.
