~My P.O.V.~ December 24th
"Good Christmas Eve morning!!" Zac yelled as he bounced up and down on mine and Taylor's bed.
"What do you want Zac?" Taylor mumbled into his pillow.
"I just wanted to wake you up--oh wait, no there was a reason--oh yeah, Melissa's on the phone. She needed to talk to you."
"Oh, let me get up." Tay said still mumbling into his pillow.
"Well here's my cordless." And Zac was gone just as fast as he came.
"That boy loves Christmas way too much." Taylor said as he picked up the phone off the bed. "Hello? Hey Melissa. Well you sound happy. Ok, shoot. Yes there will be chaperones, no drugs or alcohol and if you can yes it'd be a sleep over. Or I could bring you home. I'd probably pick you up at around eight." Melissa relayed all this info to her parents and came back. "Yeah I'm here. You can? Great. Ok, I'll see you December 31st. Yep, Bye."
"So she's coming?" I asked while getting out of bed.
"Yeah you know she seems really very sweet." Taylor said as he got up too.
"I just hope she doesn't steal my man away." I said as I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him softly.
"Never." Taylor whispered and kissed me again.
"Care to join me for a Christmas Eve morning shower?" I asked as I grabbed my Nike outfit. (Windpants and a Nike t-shirt.)
"Did you even have to ask?" He said as he followed me into the bathroom.
-12:30pm-
"Are you all ready to go to the park for our weekly game of soccer?" Care asked as she slipped on her tennis shoes.
"We're always ready to kick your butts." I said as I put my shoulder length hair into a ponytail.
"Ha ha very funny." Zac said. "Just because you won the last four times does NOT mean you'll win this time."
We played soccer weekly; me, Taylor, Zac, Care, Ike, Beth, Ashley (guy), Steven, Sarah, and Matt. And the past four times mine and Tay's team won. Which was me, tay, Steven, Ashley and Matt. And it's so funny. Everytime we play at the end Matt always comes up to me and says, "Not bad for a girl." Then Tay, Steven, and Ash hit him. It was so cute and today was no different. Our team beat Zac's 12-8.
"Sorry for making you look bad Zac." Ash said as he playfully hit Zac's shoulder.
"We let you win." Sarah said defensively.
"So are all of you coming to the New Year's party?" Tay asked as we sat down on the grass holding each other tightly.
"Of course Tay." Sarah said while sitting down next to us. "Oh by the way, is it still ok if I bring a few of my friends?"
"Yeah it is!!" Zac yelled. "Is anyone else bringing friends from school?" He asked plopping himand Care next to us.
"I am." Both Ash and Matt said. They did that a lot being brothers.
"I think I'm just going to bring my grilfriend and two cousins." Steve said.
"That's fine." Isaac said. "We have a bunch more people coming too."
"This is going to be so much fun. I can hardly wait." I said excitedly.
"Whoa, Amy, wait a minute." Zac said. "We still have Christmas to look forward to."
"Well I suppose we should get back home then, eh?" Care said. I always loved the way she always said eh. I think it was just the Canadian in her. Though being her friend I said it a lot too.
"Bye guys!" We all said as we climbed into the Blazer.
-8:00pm-
"That was a great supper Mom." Beth said.
"No doubt. I can't wait till the actual Christmas dinner." I said clearing my spot.
"Thank you." Mom said.
"Now should we open some presents?" Dad asked. At that everyone in the room started yelling. Even the oldest of the kids. I guess the excitement of Christmas never wears off.
Over the next 24 hours we all got A LOT of new stuff. Our favorites being the new HANSON jackets we got from Mom and Dad, the personal single each of the guys wrote us, and my ultimate favorite being, well...I just have to bring you back to about 10:30pm Christams Eve.
"So Tay, honey, I don't see anything from you." I said as I searched under the tree.
"Well get out from under the tree and I'll give it to you." He said as music started to play softly in the backround. Zac and Ike joined Taylor and sang to me the most romantic ballad ever. It was the song Taylor wrote for me.
Just lay down
And let your worries sleep
Don't think now
Of waters dark and deep
'Cause you know that I'll love you and never let go, whoa-whoa
And you know that I'll love you forever
I'll love you and never let go
Yes, I'll love you and never let go
Just cry out
Yeah, I've cried those tears before
Well, I can feel it now
As your teardrops hit the floor
'Cause you know that I'll love you and never let go, whoa-whoa
And you know that I'll love you forever
I'll love you and never let go
Yes, I'll love you and never let go, whoa-whoa
You don't have to ask me do I love you
As I hold you, just how much I do
I'm yours until forever is through
Everytime I stand for you
I know I lay my life down for you
I'll never let...
And during the last chorus he got down on one knee infront of me. I knew what was next and I quietly whispered, "Oh my God."
"Amy Lee" Tay started as he opened the little box in his hand. "Will you marry me?"
"Oh, God." I said as I started to cry. "Yes, yes I will, oh God." I said as he got off his knee and we embraced and kissed for like three minutes straight. We then managed to release each other long enough for Taylor to place the two karot white gold engagement ring on my shaking hand. My life couldn't have gotten any better but the next morning it did. I found a baby German Sheperd on my bed. He was from Tay and he was so cute--and FAT. I decided to name him Romeo and Beth named her baby Husky Juliet while Care named her new Persian Mercutio. Perfect, eh?
December 26th, 11:24pm ~Beth's P.O.V.~
"Ok, honey, now seriously, I'm really tired." I managed to say between giggles as Isaac tickled me.
"Ok, fine but can I ask you something?" He asked as he walked over to his radio.
"Sure, what is it?"
"Listen to this please." He said as he pressed play. The first piano chords were so beautiful I got goose bumps. The rest of the song was just as perfect. It was the song that he wrote for me. It was so touching and romantic I was crying. Isaac then made his way over to me.
"Please don't cry." He said as he held me close. "At least not until I finish this." I looked at him slightly confused. He then took my left hand in his and looked into my eyes. His brown eyes full of truthful love. He then placed a gorgeous white gold diamond ring on my hand as he whispered, "Bethany, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" I was so speechless. I could only manage to nod and wrap my arms tightly around him. "I love you so much Beth." He said before his lips lightly touched mine.
"I love you too." I said as I drifted off to sleep in his strong arms.
