The day they thought would never come

prequel 11 - The looking glass

Jaycee POV-

Wow, this is a nice place. They really didn't have to take us out just for being their friends. I think Cassie would agree with me. We are just doing what good friends do for each other. What family does for each other. I don't need this because I know they would do it for me if I ever needed it.

We have become so close during this. I am so happy I could be apart of it. Even that little bit of pain I had about losing Jack was worth it to gain what we have now. I feel like I have another bestfriend in Gabrielle. She is almost my sister now like Olyvia. I do wish I didn't have to hide this from her. Hopefully that can change soon.

Woah, this place ain't cheap. They really are going all out for us. Well, they don't have to, but I am kind of glad they are. This is not the type of place I would normally ever visit. So it's nice to be able to do it with my friends.

You know, as I look at them together I think I was wrong. I thought I knew that one day they would get back to what they had before. I was not as right as I thought.

They have gone well past that now. They are basically perfect together now. They have both matured and so has their love for each other. You can see it. Jack knows how much Gabrielle means to him in a way that he never understood before. You can see it. He use to call her his queen or princess. Now he shows her she is his princess.

Gabrielle has changed also. She is more confident in herself and in Jack. She goes out of her way to show Jack how much he means to her all the time. She use to tell him how important to her he was. Now she allows herself to show it to him.

I don't think I have ever seen a couple more in love then they are now. It's no longer the kid love, or first love. It's the adult kind of love. The head over heel's, till death do us part kind of love. They deserve this after what they have gone through.

Cassie can be a ham sometimes. I love her to death, but why do these weird things always seem to happen at her swimming competitions? Wait... What is Jack doing?

Oh my God. Oh my God. I can't believe he is down on one knee. Is he really going to propose? Oh my God he is....

"Gabrielle I love you. I have loved you for as long as I can remember now. We have had our problems in the past but he have moved past them and are stronger then ever. I should have done this a long time ago but I was a kid and scared. I am not a kid anymore. I am not sure how life will go but I know one thing about it. I never want a life without you by my side. Never again. You are the love of my life, my missing piece. I want to spend the rest of our lives proving that to you. Gabrielle, will you marry me?"

Oh my god that was so sweet. Oh look at her crying. She looks so stunned and happy. Come on Gabrielle say yes. Come on.

"Yes, oh my god Jack yes. I love you so much."

Oh my God. Jack is crying. I don't think I have ever seen that. I know he has, but he always kept it private. He is so happy I think he is going to burst.

Ok guys... Enough of that. We are in public. Listen to everyone clapping. This is what a proposal should be. My next boyfriend is going to have some big shoes to fill after watching Jack with Gabrielle.

Oh wow. look at that ring. That is really nice. Gabrielle looks stunned looking at it.

"Jack, you bought it.... You actually remembered it and bought it?"

"Gabrielle, I bought it two years ago when you fell in love with it. I knew it was going to be our ring. I am sorry it took so long for me to give it to you."

"So you kept it even after?"

"It was for my Gabrielle. I could never let it go to anyone but her."
