Third Person's POV-

"How about this?" Peggy asked, pointing at ring with a small diamond perched on top.

"What the hell, Peggy, no. It's a diamond!" John frowned at the expensive ring.

John sighed, and ran his fingers through his head. He was stressing.

He said, "I don't know. Alex just likes it simple, not flashy. But it has to have meaning."

"Well said," Francis smiled, who was standing beside him. "How about this section?"

John shrugged and followed Francis to the other side of the store, Peggy trailing behind.

John caught sight of the perfect ring at the corner of his eye.

"There!"

~~×~~

"Okay. Angelica's going to meet up with us in three. Baskins, cause why the hell not again!" Peggy laughed, as the three exited the shop.

"We are? What for?" John asked.

"Well, of course you need to plan out the whole thing," Francis smiled.

"What time is it already?"

"2:57," Peggy mumbled. "Fuck."

So, they all ran towards the Baskin and Robbins. Once they got there, Angelica was already seated at a booth in the corner.

"Larry!" Peggy shrieked, as she saw her friend. "Mah man! How are ya?"

"Everything's fine," Larry smiled, behind the counter. "I'll get your usual."

She nodded, and skipped her way to her sister, following John and Francis.

"Angie," Francis nodded, a little afraid.

"Francis." Angelica smiled and gave an unreadable expression, looking up from her phone.

"Larry, are there any customers besides us?" Peggy asked nervously.

"Nop-"

"HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU HURT JOHN! DID YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID? HE SPENT MONTHS CRYING BECAUSE YOU MOVED BACK TO SOUTH CAROLINA! HE WAS FUCKING HEARTBROKEN AND HE DID PROBABLY THE MOST STUPID THINGS IN THE WORLD. HE FELL BACK IN DEPRESSION AND HIS FRIENDS, US, STAYED FOR HIM. AND THEN YOU DECIDE TO TURN UP HELPING HIM PROPOSE THE MAN HE LOVES, AND YOU WERE THE MAN HE LOVED." Angelica, who leapt up to her feet, cried.

"Good," Peggy grumbled. "Glad we weren't of disturbance."

"You - I - He did - ? John, why didn't you tell me?" Francis frowned.

"I - I didn't want to worry you," He sighed. "And, Angie, it's all fine. It's all better."

"Everything is better," He smiled.

Angelica bit her lip, and sat back down. "Sorry. It's just, he affected you so much. Positively and negatively."

"It's all in the past," He said. "Now, we have something plan, right?"

Francis, Peggy, and John, sat down, and the four discussed their had-to-be-perfect plan

~~×~~

"Lexi! I'm back!" John chirped, grinning like an idiot.

"Jack!" Alex, who was fixing the bedroom walked out to the living room and greeted John.

"Sorry, for leaving you. I had to make arrangements with Pegs," John sighed, and embraced Alex, kissing his forehead slightly.

Arrangements? Alex thought, frowning.
