"Hi sweetie." JC said kissing me on the forehead.
"Hi." I smiled. Life had been great the past two weeks...ever since I'd worked stuff out with JC.
It was just like it was before I'd left...well except that we had Jordan with us, but that's ok since both of us love her to pieces.
"You ready to go?" He asked
"Yup!" We were taking Jordan over to JC's parents and then going out to eat.
On the way to the resturant I said, "JC, we need to decide what we're going to do about our relationship....I need to decide if I'm staying here or moving back to my apartment."
"I know I was thinking about that." He pulled the car down a side road.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Somewhere to talk."
He stopped the car right infront of a beach, then turned on his headlights and turned on the radio. "Come out here with me." he said
I got out of the car and he took my hand and pulled me in front of the car, into the beam of the headlights. He pulled me into his arms and we started to dance to the music.
"I thought we were going to talk." I whispered.
"Shh." he continued to dance.
When the song was over the D.J. came on and said, "This next one goes out to Jillian from JC. Jillian, JC wants you to know that he wants to spend the rest of his life with you."
I gasped, "You did this?"
He nodded, "Listen to the song."
It was our song! Our song!!! I couldn't believe he even remembered. It was the senior prom and the first time he's ever said he loved me. I still remembered the song...we both did.
Wait, did that D.J. say JC wanted to spend the rest of his life with me? Oh my God....
"Jillian, I really do want to be with you. I've been thinking about it and I know I won't be happy unless I'm with you It's all I've thought about since you came back...actually it's all I've thought about since I met you." He got down on one knee and pulled out a ring box. I couldn't help it...I just started crying and couldn't stop, "Jillian, will you marry me?"
I nodded my head yes and he slipped the ring on my finger. I fell into his arms, "I love you so much."
"I love you too." He answered.
"I can't believe you did this for me." I said trying to calm my tears down, "I knew this would happen..it was supposed to. We're meant to be together, I knew it."
He pulled me closer and stood back up. We danced to our song, just like we did at the prom, just like we'd do for the rest of our lives.
When the song was over I pulled JC back towards the car. He climbed in the back seat and I climbed in after him.
He kissed me, "Isn't this how we got in trouble in the first place?"
"I don't care." I smiled, "I just want to be with you."
"Daddy, Mom. I have to tell you something. JC and I are getting married."
"That's great!" My mom shouted flying off the couch and hugging me.
"Great Jilly. We're really happy for you." My dad said.
I smiled. I knew they'd be happy. I'd already told my sisters and of course they were all really happy for me. Now was the hard part...telling Zoe I wasn't going back.
I called her after I was done talking to my parents, "Hey Zoe."
"Hey Jillian, what's up?"
"Well, I have some big news."
"He asked you didn't he?"
"Yes, he did." I told her.
"That is so great! I knew he would! I'm so happy for you guys." she said.
"But that means I won't be moving back." I said softly.
"I knew you'd stay there."
"I'm really sorry, why don't you come down here and live?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm sure you and JC would love me living at your house." She pointed out. I was silent. Finally she said, "Really Jillian I don't mind. We'll keep in touch and I'll come visit you....it'll be alright."
"But you'll come down for the wedding right? I want you to be my maid of honor!"
"Of course! I'd LOVE to be your maid of honor."
"Well I'll call you later...right now I've gotta go over to JC's house so we can tell his parents, ok?"
"Ok sweetie,bye!"
"Bye."
I hung up the phone and sighed. I had just said goodbye to my best friend. She was the one that was there for me when I was pregnant with Jordan and she'd basically helped me raise her. What would I do without her? If only there was some way to get her to move down here......
