I wake up still wrapped in Andy's arms. I turn over to see his eyes flutter open. "Today's the day." I said lightly. He smiled and kissed my nose. "It is."

I got up and went to get ready in the bathroom outside our room and Andy got changed on the one inside our room. Everybody was already up.

"What are you dressed for? Are we going somewhere today?" Sammi asked. I smiled and laughed. "Well... if you must know, I'm going to get my last name changed!" Sammi's mouth dropped open. I just giggled excitedly. After I change my name, there's nothing else holding me to my old family. Only to my new one.

"And what are you changing it to?" Ash asked. "Now that's a secret!" I said and skipped off. I heard faint whispers from the other room. I don't know why they seem so nervous about this. "You ready?" Andy said holding my waist. I nodded and took his hand. "We're leaving!" I said happily as we walked out the door. I laughed as I heard Jake yell to us. "MAKE GOOD CHOICES!" He yelled. "OKAY I'LL JUST DRIVE DRUNK AND LOOK ONE WAY BEFORE CROSSING THE STREET!" I yelled back. "SOUNDS GOOD!" He shouted in response. Andy and I laughed as we made it to the elivator.

"So what are you changing your last name to?" He said. I smiled. "I've given it a lot of thought to be honest... and I've decided on-" Before I could finnish the door opened. "Oh come on!" I yelled skipping to the door and into the taxi. "As you where saying?" He said. "Oh yeah, um... actually. I want you to wait as well." I giggled as he put on a pouty face. "No fair." I kissed him on the lips. "But it is." I rested my head on his shoulder. "Secrets don't make friends unless shared with everyone." He said pouty still. I just shook my head rolling my eyes. "Well you'll know soon enough."

It took longer than expected to get to the registry. But when we got there, suddenly I got nervous. My stomach started turning and I felt shaky. "What's wrong?" Andy asked as we got into the building. I shook my head. "I don't know. I've been wanting for this so long. This is finally the last thing I have to do before I'm separated from my past forever, but its weird.... letting go. You know? It's not something I'm used to. It's just hard to really realize that I'm gone. I'm done with all of that." He held my hand a little tighter. "You don't have to do this." I nodded. "No, I want to... I need to do this." He kissed my head. "I just want you to be happy." I nodded and smiled. "I know." I kissed him quickly on the lips as I walked up to the desk.

"Hi how may I help you?" The lady asked. She's young, probably around 23 to 28, brunette, very pretty. "I'd like to change my last name." She smiled somewhat sympathetically to me. "Okay, what's you're current name?" She asked. "Hannah..." I pushed out the last name. "Hannah Baker." She nodded and typed it in. "Okay, here's some paperwork... please fill it out and then hand it back to me." I nodded and sat down in a comfy chair. It wasn't as much paperwork as I thought it would be. "You know, you could always change it to Biersack." I smiled. "Yeah, but if we ever got married, people would think we where related, how could we ever explain that?" He smiled gently and laughed. "I mean you could change it to Biersack, the other way." I looked at him quickly. "You mean... marriage." It was a quiestion but it came out more like a statement. "Yeah." I shook my head. "I love you, but Andy, we're so young." He looked down at his hands. "No, not now. But you could wait. A few years and we could be married." I shook my head. "Andy, I plan on being with you for the rest of my life, and marrying you is deffinatly on my list of things to do, but, I don't want to wait. I want to let go now. And this is the way to do it." He nodded. "I know." I smiled at him and finnished filling out the papers.

I walked up to the lady and handed her the papers. "Okay. Let me just finnish putting in your information and.... Here. Congradulations Ms. Montley." I smiled at my new name. "Thank you so much!" I beamed.

As we walked out Andy took my hand. "Montley?" I smiled and looked at him. "Yeah, I told you. I gave this A LOT of thought. You see, when I was younger, I always wanted a pretty last name, and whenever I would play dress up with my mother, I'd use the name Mrs. Lucila Montly. I dont know why. I love it though. And it just seems kind of fitting. Hannah Rose Montley" I smiled at the sound of it. "It is. It's a beautiful name." I kissed him on the cheek and smiled.

We got into the cab and I sat wrapped in his arms. It was silent though, and I couldn't help but think about what had happened in there. About our conversation on marriage. "Andy?" I said, my voice cracking a bit. "Yeah?" I took a deep breath. "I just want you to know. I love you so much. And I do want to be with you forever. Don't think I don't." He looked me in the eyes smiling and took both of my hands. "I know. I know you love me, and I know that I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
Suddenly he took out a small black box. I put my hands over my mouth as tears suddenly pricked my eyes. He opened it and inside was a gold ring with a black diamond on it. "It's not an engagement ring, but a promise. I will marry you one day. I swear it. I'll wait for you. I've never been so sure of something in my life. So until we are both ready to be married, we will have this. To remind us of the promise. To remind you of the promise i'm making you right now. I promise to love you, to never hurt you, and to always be there for you. Because Hannah, if I hadn't met you I don't know what my life would be like. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. And don't you ever forget that. Promise me that you wont foret?" I felt a tear fall as I brought my lips to his.
"I promise." And with that he slipped the ring onto my finger.
