DANA'S POV

The next morning I woke up super early and immediately got change, trying not to wake City up. I got downstairs and saw all the guys.

"Let me guess? The girls are still sleeping." I said. They all laughed.

"Yeah, they were pretty drunk when I got there." Cole stated.

"Dana, if you want to get this draw ready, you better go now!" Gabe said. "We'll keep her distracted until 6."

"But just saying, the girls might sleep until 2." David chuckled.

"Okay," I said, running out the door. "You guys are awesome! Thank you for doing this!"

"Hey! Anything for City." Will said.

"By the way Dana, get some tonight!" David said.

"No! Don't!" Gabe yelled. I laughed before running out the door into my car.

CITY'S POV

I woke up at 2 pm with a huge headache. Uggh! How much did I drink last night?! I got up from my bed and saw that on my desk was Advil and a note.

"Hey Birthday Princess,

You came home pretty drunk last night so I got you Advil! Meet me at the park @ 6 for an awesome birthday night!

Love,
Dana ;)"

I smiled to myself before grabbing the pills and walking downstairs.

"Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday To City! Happy Birthday To You!" Cassidy, Livvie, Alex, Red, Lily, David, Gabe, Will and Cole sang.

"AWWWWW thank you guys!" I cried.

"Happy Birthday V!" Gabe said kissing my forehead.

"Guys this is great. And I don't want to be rude but," I said looking around. "Where's my boyfriend?"

Lily rolled her eyes. "He has a surprise for you tonight."

"Really?" I said. "That is so sweet!"

"Okay, well we're going to you ready for tonight." Cass squealed.

"Okay!"

A few hours later, I'm standing in front of my mirror in a white dress, wearing a pair of white heels, and my silver necklace.

"Guys, is he here yet?" I stress, fixing my makeup for the billionth time.

"City, come here and look out the window." Red said, I walked over to my window and looked out. Standing right in front of my small apartment building is a shiny black limo.

"Oh my God, if Will doesn't do this for my birthday, I'm gonna kill him!" Livvie yelled. I raced down the stairs, with the girls right behind me, and opened the door.

There an old white man stood there and opened the door to the car. "Ms. Garcia?"

"That's me." I grabbed the bottom of my dress and said a quick 'bye' to the girls before getting into the car.

The limo was so cool! It had a small cooler filled with Tequilla, nice leather lounge chairs, small pattern of lights at the bottom of the car and on the TV is me and Dana's guilty pleasure show, Preachers Daughters.

I was watching the show and having a drink when the TV flickered and a message appeared.

"Meet me at the place of the brightest stars, but they will never shine brighter than you." I read out loud.

The car then stopped and the driver opened the door. I walked out of the car and onto a hill. I see Dana standing there, in a black tux, holding a rose.

"Babe, you look so nice!" I tell him, pulling him into a kiss.

"You look beautiful!" He tells me. "You ready for your birthday dinner?"

"Yeah." Dana then links my arm and takes me up the hill. When we get to the top, I saw in giant white letters, the Hollywood sign. And right below it, there is a small picnic set up.

"Dana?" I asked, tearing up. "Is this all for me?"

"Yeah because a girl as amazing as you needs an almost equally amazing birthday!" He says, kissing my cheek. Dana leads me up the hill and we sit down and start eating.

We spent hours just sitting around, talking about life, movies, music, everything. It was almost exactly like our first date, on my roof.

"Hey City." Dana said. "I know this is only out third date but I want to give you this." With that, Dana gets down on one knee and pulls out a small blue box.

"Dana, I love you but we are way too young an-"

"No, no, no, no, no!" Dana said, cutting me off and getting up. "I love you and I know one day I will marry you. So I want to give you this ring as a promise that I will always love you."

"Dana, I will always love you too." I say as he places the ring on my finger. I grab his face and pulling him towards me. I deeply kiss him pulling him closer and closer.

His hands started to roam towards my waist, around the top of my ass. I had one hand on his neck and the was running through his curls.

"Dana," I breathed between the kiss.

"How bout we had to the hotel room?" He smirked.

"I would love that." I saw grabbing the basket and running towards the limo behind him.
