I started to prep myself for the night with Sam; I threw on my blue and white acid stained dress and my Harry Styles styled hat.

lol styles style.

I rubbed my legs in lotion and put on my black flats. I curled the ends of my hair and applied my makeup to the best of my ability... Good enough, I assume.

All of a sudden I felt nervousness come over me. I sat down on my bed and tried to breathe carefully and stop the light shaking.

"Hey Haze-are you okay?" Sam said rushing to my side and holding my hand. I felt relief and he settled his hand on my forehand to check for a temperature, he moved his hand from my forehead to my cheek repeatedly.

I smiled smugly and he pressed a kiss to my temple and I sighed in relief. I leaned my body onto him and he hugged me tightly, "You look so beautiful." He whispered and I blushed.

I eyed him in his suit and gasped, "A suit! Omg! Omg! I love you!" Sam never ever wore suits unless it was a very special occasion or if his mom made him wear one.

"I know, I know." He chuckled and I kissed his lips softly before grabbing my purse and turning back to Sam. "Ready to go?" I asked and he nodded, his eyes twinkling and he stood there for a moment taking in my appearance.

"I'm ready." He said above a whisper and held out his hand for me to take.

Sam parked his car and I looked around, I looked up and realized we were at an ice skating rink. I immediately jumped out of the car excited to go.

We just came back from going to Olive Garden; interesting date so far as I might say. Sam and I talked about nothing's with the occasional baby on the way with Connor and Dakota.

Sam took my hand softly in his and started walking me inside the ice rink with him. I smiled when a couple fans ran up to hug Sam, he told them he would sign and take a photo if the girls would keep quiet about where he was and post pictures/tweet about it in two hours so he wouldn't get mobbed.

Sam did his thing and I took a couple selfies with the girls and Sam and I continued on our date together. I knew how to ice skate, I just couldn't do a spin or any tricks.

"Darn, I thought I was going to be the romantic one and show you how!" Sam complained after I told him I knew how to ice skate, it's sort of like rollerblading but harder.

We laced up our ice skates and wobbled out to the ice rink. Sam stumbled occasionally, but we were fine. The ice rink we were in was cold, but a couple windows were open, so a nice warm breeze blew in occasionally that made me feel better.

After the date at Olive Garden, Sam went to the restrooms to change into jeans and a plain white tee with a grey zip up jacket. He kept his jacket unzipped but I didn't mind.

Sam and I clasped hands and we went slowly around the ice rink with other couples, mom's, dad's, and kids of different ages and grade levels. I smiled at them as they raced each other and sometimes slipping, but not loosing the grin on their faces.

"This is nice." I sighed and looked over at Sam, he nodded and response and kissed my cheek lightly as we skated slowly. Everyone stayed on the outside of the arena, no one was really allowed to go in the center unless you were doing something impressive; like spinning or doing some ariel move.

Sam gave my left hand a slight squeeze and I made my attention bounce back over to him. "Listen, Hazel," he paused and fumbled on his feet for a second, making me chuckle. He shoved his opposite hand that wasn't in mine in his pocket.

"I really love you and I'm sorry about my... Problem. I've stopped it because of the therapy and threw away the blades when I came home that night; the night I realized I love you too much to let you go or for you to let me go." He sighed and I whimpered for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Sammie. I'm proud of you for doing that, Sammie; getting help is what I'm referring to. Think of the scars as stripes! A tiger who has earned his stripes." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

He blushed slightly and looked nervous again. I gave his hand a reassuring squeeze as we went around a curve of the rink. He bit his lip and smiled slightly. "Follow me." He said and I nodded, he started skating into the middle and I laughed.

"Please do a spin or something!" I laughed and he shook his head. "I'll do something, but definitely not a spin." He laughed and I nodded. "What kind of trick will you do then? An Ariel?" I giggled and he rolled his eyes.

"No, I'm going to do the propose-to-my girlfriend." He chuckled and my eyes widened and my hands went over my mouth when he got on one knee on the ice. "Sam." I said into my hands, only audible for me to hear most likely.

Everyone's attention was now on us two, no longer the mothers and fathers were paying attention to the kids; no longer were the couples caught up in their love; now everyone was looking at Sam and I.

Sam messed with his pocket before pulled out a tiny red velvet box with gold trim. He looked up at me in the eyes and sighed, "Hazel Elizabeth Monet, I've known you for a year now," he broke eye contact with me to look at everyone, "Long time, I know." He said and got quiet chuckles from the crowd while I wiped away tiny tears.

"Anyways, Hazel, I love you to the moon and back. Hell; I love you to the next Galaxy. You're so beautiful and I know we fit since I've never lasted with a girl as long as I am with you." He smiled and I brought my hands over my mouth as he opened up the box.

A nice diamond ring with a simple diamond in the middle and a couple around it and some on the sides; nothing too big or fancy.

"I want you to be mine; I want to grow old with you, be able to hug and kiss you every morning and evening. I want to be able to take care of you when you're sick or upset. Hazel, will you marry me?" He asked never breaking eye contact and a small sob shakily escaped into my hands.

I removed my hands from my mouth and nodded. "Yes." I said laughing at my emotions and he stood up so I could hug him tightly. I kissed his lips and heard claps and whistles behind us; we broke the kiss because of PDA and the thought of kids around us.

He slipped the ring onto my finger and it glistened in the light. I smiled and wiped away the tears that collected in my eyes when I realized that I was marrying the one that I loved most.

I saw something in the corner of my eye and saw Brent again. I rolled my eyes and blinked a couple times to make sure I was being crazy. I heard Brent's voice in my head.

"Thank you for moving on, I love you. I'll miss you but I'll see you soon. Remember me, Hazel. Remember." I heard his voice echo and he waved to me, I waved back and he disappeared.

"Brent?" Sam asked confused and I nodded. "Yeah, I let him go. I won't be seeing him anymore, only in memories." I smiled slightly but thought about Sam and the things we will go through together.

We left the arena and started driving back home; our hands in each other's as Sam drove. "Our lives begin here." He smiled and I nodded.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Hazel. I really do."

If you think I am your best friend, you're a dusty trashbag.
