57. The Big Question

Someone told me
Love was only
In the movies
It don't exist in real life these days now
But you showed me
If I only just find the faith I need to believe

Anything is possible
If you want it bad enough
Know the sky, end too high
Test your limits
You can feel unstoppable
Incredible
Oh still, I can see I'm so ready

Oh this has gotta be the night that dreams come true
Everything feels just right
Girl when I'm with you, you know, girl i'll be holdin' on
Said you feel my love
Did you feel my love

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I screamed in happiness as soon as Justin accepted my FaceTime request.

"Oh Jesus..." He grasped his chest in horror for a second and then a cute giggle left his throat. "...you kinda scared me." He chuckled making me giggle. "Thank you babe." He smiled wholeheartedly.

Someday his beautiful smile will be the death of me.

"How was the show?" I asked him with a small smile on my face. "It was amazing. The crowd was cheering and hyped the whole time which made me even more excited to perform." He said excitedly and I couldn't help but let a big smile take over my face as he talked about his experience.

"...and I'm now just lazily laying down under the cover." He finished and I nodded with a grin on my face. There was a peaceful silence for few seconds until Justin decided to break it. "Are you okay now?" He asked worriedly and I frowned my eyebrows in confusion. "Yeah why won't I be okay?" I asked confused. Why was he talking like that? Was I supposed to be sick or something?

"Didn't you have the flu?" He asked now sitting on the bed and realisation hit me. Oh shit! I totally forgot. "Oh yes that." I trailed off. "Man I totally forgot about that. But I'm good now." I licked my lips and he nodded, as if he didn't believe me, with a deep frown on his face.

"Jay I'm fine. I actually am better now and you do know how sometimes I even forget things that had not even happened five minutes ago. You know what I don't actually remember what I ate for breakfast. Was it pancakes? Or waffles? Or something else?" I said confused, putting on a thinking face. "Wait what I did eat again?" I said dramatically, trying to stay in character and he started laughing. I smiled softly at the sound of his melodious laugh. I love when he's smiling and laughing. A frown never suits him.

"You know a frown never suits you. Smile does." I said when he stopped laughing causing him to blush and smile cutely. "Wait are you blushing?" I teased and he gave me a glare but that didn't stop me from making another comment on his pink cheeks. "You were so blushing." I teased. "I just made my boyfriend blush damn." I said as if I had just accomplished the biggest achievement in my life.

"Lottie stop." He whined and I giggled. There was silence for few seconds with Justin looking like he was concentrating on something making me confuse. I opened my mouth to ask him what was wrong but he shushed me before I could even utter a word making me frown and purse my lips. What was he even concentrating on? What's going on in his mind.

"Are you listening to Santa Tell Me?" He asked and I gave him a look. Really? That's why he shushed me?
"Yes." I said still with the same look on my face. What's wrong with listening Christmas songs? "I am still in Christmas spirit." I added with a little blush on my face and shrugged.

"Oh really?" He teased making me give him a glare. "Yeah so I was even listening to Christmas Love before I called you." I shrugged carelessly. It wasn't much of a big deal anyways. It's not a rule that you can listen to Christmas music only on Christmas. And even it was, I would totally break it, multiple times.

"Awe I didn't know you missed me so much that you are listening to my music and even wearing my t-shirt." He teased and I looked down to take a look at my clothing indeed I was wearing his t-shirt.

"Oh shut up. They are comfortable." I playfully rolled my eyes. "So you don't miss me? You don't miss your Jay?" His pouted his lips, acting as if my words had really hurt him.

"Of course I miss you." I immediately said and his pouty lips curved up into a smiled.

"So when are you coming back?" I asked his facial expression changed. "Kitten-"

Just by the look on his face I could tell that he won't be able to come.

"-You promised you'll be here." Tears welled up in my eyes. "I know I did princess and believe me I want nothing more than to be there with you. It sucks not having you by my side but I won't be able to leave for two more days." He sighed sadly. "I can always come there then." I immediately said not thinking straight. All I knew was that I wanted him by my side.

"I know you can baby but it won't be fair to your friends right? It's your first birthday with the girls. Won't they be sad when they'll get to know that they won't be able to celebrate your birthday with you?" He said and I bite my bottom lip. "But I want you." I almost whined.

"I'll be there real soon, I promise and we'll celebrate both of our birthdays together. And I'll even FaceTime you tomorrow, for as long as you want me to." He said and I sighed giving him a sad face. "Okay." I mumbled sadly. "Please don't be sad angel." He said sadly and I looked at him, obviously through the phone screen.

I cannot be that selfish. I cannot just ruin his birthday with my sadness because I know it will bother him for the rest of the day and he won't be able to enjoy his birthday, which I really want him to do even when I'm not around. I just want him to be happy and enjoy his day. And he was right, we can always celebrate our birthdays together when he comes back. It's not like it will be a sin or something.

"I'm not sad." I gave him a small smile. "I'm just thinking about how to postpone the surprise I have for you. But I'll find a way." I winked and he suspiciously looked at me. "A surprise?" He said and I simply smirked. "Trust me you'll love it. I think it will the best gift you will ever recieve." I teased him making him glare at me, like he was telling me to stop teasing him because we both knew he won't be getting that present for a while now. "What is it?" He eagerly asked. "Ah ah ah someone told me and I quote, 'patience is the virtue'." I mocked Justin from earlier, singing the words 'patience is the virtue' and he groaned.

"Are you going to do a roleplay with me? Like student-teacher roleplay? No maybe CEO and his assistant. Or doctor and nurse. Nah. Oh oh oh how about devil and angel?" Justin said putting up on a thinking face as if he was making a life changing decision which made me burst out into laughter.

"How about we do all of them? Yes we are going to do all of them! That's my surprise, right?" He said making me laugh harder. "Stop Jay. You'll make me pee in my pants." I laughed clenching my stomach in my hands.

"And no that's not your surprise." I added blowing a raspberry when I finally calmed down from my laughing fest.

"Oh that's a bummer." He grumbled but his infamous smirk was back after few seconds. "That's okay. That will be my gift to myself. You just get your costumes sorted out and surprise me with them." He said and I shook my head at him. "I'm not doing any kind of roleplay with you." I chuckled. "Excuse me Ms. Maybe-you-can-be-Doctor-Bieber-for-me-later, we both know I'm irresistible and you love the D, you always want the D and you'll get the D when we do roleplay and I'll be the sexiest devil you have even seen." He stated and by the time he was done talking my face was completely flushed. "Oh my goodness, Justin stop." I covered my face with my hand. "And you better pick out some good songs too. You know to get the feels and all." He added.

"Justin will you stop?" I glared at him and he started laughing. I am sure my cheeks were as red as a freaking tomato. "Okay okay I'll stop." He chuckled. "But I already know what my costume will be." He added and I rolled my eyes. "You know what? Keep fantasizing while I'll go and stuff myself with ice-creams. Bye." I said ready to end the FaceTime.

"Don't forget about your costumes." He immediately said as if it was one of the most important thing in the entire world. "Bye Justin." I gave him sarcastic smile and ended the FaceTime.

He's so silly. Such an idiot. I giggled at my thoughts. "Emma is right. He really is idiotstin." I giggled and sighed in happiness. But he's my idiotstin.

*next day*

I was woken up by the sound of the ringtone of my phone going off. I groaned and grabbed the device from the nightstand, my eyes still closed.

I opened one of my eyes to look at the caller ID. I know I most probably looked like a fucking weirdo but I didn't care.

Justin's name flash across the screen and I accepted the FaceTime before closing my eyes again.

"Why are you still sleeping babe? Wake up." Justin chuckled and I sleepily smiled. "No I wanna sleep forever." I said, my voice being really raspy as I had just woken up. But did I really wake up? I was basically half asleep.

"But it's your birthday." He said or more like whined. "Then that will be my gift for myself." I chuckled slowly opening my eyes only to find him shaking his head at me.

"Okay I'm up." I chuckled and sat up and covered my almost naked body with the cover. Long story short, I wasn't able to sleep because I was feeling really hot and then ended up taking off my clothes and sleeping in my bra and panties. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY KITTEN!" He suddenly screamed making me giggle, "Thank you Jay."

"Did you sleep well? And I can see that you only slept in your underwear." Justin asked, his infamous smirk taking over his face. "Yes I was feeling hot during the night." I answered rubbing my eyes, trying to rub off the sleep from them.

"Were you hot for me? I know you were." He winked and my eyes widened a little. "Justin seriously!? You gotta stop." I giggled while shaking my head at him. "Your mind is dirty 24/7. Always filled with the thoughts about sex." I chuckled running my fingers through my messy hair. "Look who is even talking." He smirked. "Babe everybody knows that we are on the same boat. We are sexy ass couple who always have mind-blowing sex." He said and I giggled again.

I opened my mouth to reply but heard Alfredo's voice in the background, telling Justin to get ready.

"Happy Birthday Lottie." He smiled when he saw that Justin was on the FaceTime with me. "Thank you Fredo." I thanked him.

"Um baby I gotta go now. I'll call you later. Happy Birthday again." Justin said and I nodded.

"Bye I love you." I smiled. "I love you more." He smiled and blew me a kiss before the FaceTime ended. I sighed dreamily and decided to get ready for the day. I did my business and brushed my teeth. I shampooed my hair and took a much needed shower and then did my skin routine which wasn't much because all I did was apply lotion all over my body to keep the skin soft. I then did a little makeup which wasn't much but just some eye liner, mascara and cherry lipgloss. I then threw on my off-white sweater and a pair of light blue demin jeans. For hairstyle, I decided to settle down with a high ponytail. With the outfit, I decided to wear some black boots and that completed my outfit. Simple yet pretty.

I smiled at my appearance in the mirror before taking a quick mirror selfie and a normal selfie.

I can't believe I was actually eighteen now. I was legal.

Damn. I thought.

I feel like this year will be the best I'll ever have because of so many reasons.

"I'm eight-ingle now." I giggled to myself as I said that and then shook my head softly. Silly Lottie. I thought.

My stomach grumbled and that was my cue to walk down into the kitchen and grab something for myself or else I'll end up being an asshole to everybody if I'll not satisfy my stomach which was screaming for food.

"Will you stop growling. I'm just about to give you food, damn." I mumbled, talking to my stomach, as I made my way downstairs. Talking to myself was pretty normal to me and I always talk to myself even out in public which had led people to think that I was crazy. But did I care? Never. Why? Because I think everybody talks to themselves. I think it's impossible that you had never had a conversation with yourself. I think that's pretty normal. At least it was with me.

As soon as I stepped down the last step, melodious sound fell into the air.

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Lottie, happy birthday to you."

My mouth slowly opened as I saw the girls making their way towards me with a big cake on a table which has wheels on it and can be easily moved around.

Tears welled up in my eyes and I covered my mouth with hands and a tear rolled down my cheeks.

"Guys." I said softly when they were actually standing in front of me. "Oh my God. I love you so much." I couldn't help but sob in happiness and hugged them tightly making them awe and hug me back. I never actually thought I would start sobbing by witnessing their sweet gesture towards me but I actually did. Hey, it's not my fault that I'm an emotional and soft person.

"Awe bebe don't cry." Emelia coo'ed as she ran her fingers through my hair and hugged me tighter.

"Thank you so much guys." I awe'ed looking down at the cake.

"I love you so much." I said and wiped away my tears.

"C'mon make a wish and blow the candles and cut the cake." Ashley said and I smiled before leaning down and closing my eyes to make a wish.

I hope everything and everyone stays happy and healthy and everything goes as I am trying to plan it.

And with that I blew the candles and the cut the cake. I fed everyone a piece of the cake and even ate one myself, my piece being bigger because I cut it by myself and only for myself. What? My stomach doesn't want to co-operate with me today. It's not my fault that it asks for food every five minutes.

We even had a massive breakfast which I loved a lot. Even though I missed Justin and wanted him by my side, I was genuinely happy with the girls and they actually made me laugh and smile the whole time. I was really lucky to have them by my side. They were now one of the most important part of my life and I won't change it for the world.

"Where are we going?" I asked leaning back against the backseat of Bella's car as she drove to somewhere I still didn't know of.

"Surprise surprise." Bella sang making me playfully roll my eyes at her. "Just a little longer Lottie." Emma said and I nodded with a grin. I couldn't help but feel excited and wonder what it could be. The girls and I had already gotten pedicure and manicure yesterday and my nails were good as ever so where we must be going? A spa? Maybe for facial? I don't know about the place we were going to at all but I definitely knew that I will enjoy and love it.

"It's too boring, let's listen to some music." Ashley said making me snap out of my train of thought as she changed the channel on the radio and WAP started playing.

Emma and I glared at each other for a second with a huge and weird smirk on our faces.

"I said, certified freak, seven days a week, wet-ass pussy, make that pull-out game weak, woo." We both started singing at the top of our lungs making everyone laugh and cheer.

We all were singing at the top of our lungs and dancing during the whole song. And who won't? The beat is so catchy. When this song first came out, both Emma and I would sing it and were obsessed with it. We were so obsessed. And you know it's bad and too much when you mesmerize the entire lyrics even though the song has just came out an hour ago. That's how obsessed we were. But did anyone care? No. Did we care? Absolutely not.

"Hey hey hey what do you think you are doing bebe?" I asked when Emelia started blindfolding me. "Oh shush it. You'll end up loving it." She giggled and tightened the cloth around my eyes so I wouldn't be able to see anything.

"And we are here!" Bella said and the car came to stop. I kept moving my hands around, trying to grab onto something as I got out of the car. Everything was pitched black around my eyes with the piece of cloth on, which kinda had me panicked because I surely didn't want to fall down and hurt myself.

"C'mon let's go." Emma said but I shook my head. "I'm not walking! What if I trip and fall down?" I stated. "Don't be an absurd. Nothing will happen. Let's go." Ashley said. "No. Either one of you will carry me or I'll just sit down on the floor. I don't mind." I shook my head and stubbornly crossed my arms over my chest. I didn't care if I was overreacting because I really didn't want to hurt myself.

"Such a drama queen." I heard Bella mumble and I can picture her playfully rolling her eyes at me. "The things I do for you." Ashley mumbled and the next thing I knew was getting a piggy back ride from her. "You better return the favor missy." She said and I giggled, "Not this year. Or the next." making her stop.

"Oh what did you just say? I can't hear you. Oh shit my hands are slipping." She dramatically said making me squeal and hold onto her tighter.

"Ashley." I whined. "Woah woah woah." She said as if she was falling down making me cry. "Okay okay I promise." I immediately said and she chuckled and started walking again.

What felt like an hour was only few minutes until Ashley stopped and she helped me hop off her back. "Where are we?" I asked confused, ready to take off my blindfold.

"Wait!" Bella said making me froze on my stop. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"We'll take off the blindfold in five." She said and I groaned. "Really? I already wanna see." I groaned. Although she ignored me and started counting down and that too as slow as she could just to annoy me.

"Five, four, three, two.......and......and.........one."

Lights immediately fell into my eyes as soon as the blindfold was taken off, making me squeeze my eyes shut for a split second. I opened it again after few seconds trying to adjust them to lightening.

A huge smile took over my face as I looked around myself. We were at a trampoline park...all alone.

Until my eyes fell on him and a huge squeal erupted from my throat.

"LEE DONG-WOOK!"

In front of me was a big cardboard cutout of my forever crush Lee Dong-Wook. He has been my celebrity crush since I can even remember myself. I never really got a chance to meet him in person but I have always loved him.

"I'm so happy." I squealed looking at the cardboard cutout in awe. "Do I get to keep this?" I asked looking at the girls and they started laughing. "Of course you do. He's all yours." Emma winked and I grinned widely. Yay.

I turned back to the cardboard cutout with a small smile dancing on my lips. He was just.... gorgeous.

"Are you done staring at him?" Ashley said making me snap out of my gaze and turn to her, a deep blush playing on my cheeks and I could feel it getting deeper as they all giggled at me.

"You know what let's just jump around and have fun." I said trying to change the subject and ran towards the trampoline and started jumping everywhere.

And it even got better when the whole park was filled with my favourite music and I was getting so overwhelmed that I just wanted to hug the girls forever.

"We're only getting older, baby, and I've been thinking about it lately, does it ever drive you crazy, just how fast the night changes? Everything that you've ever dreamed of, disappearing when you wake up, but there's nothing to be afraid of, even when the night changes, it will never change, baby, it will never change, baby, it will never change, me and you." I sang and I jumped around, playing with the ball I had in my hands.

It almost felt like a small light bulb has lightened up above my head as an idea popped in my mind when I saw Bella who was jumping and dancing around in front of me. I smirked and threw the ball at her making her lose her balance and fall down on the trampoline as soon as the ball hit her.

I started laughing loudly as I walked to her only to find her laughing to herself. I giggled and gave her a hand so she could grasp it and stand back up but she pulled me down with her making me squeal and laugh loudly.

After laughing for few seconds, we both decided to get back up but as if the luck wasn't on our side we both lost our balance again and fell back down on the trampoline when the other girls started throwing the balls at both of us.

"Hey!" We laughed, throwing the balls back at them.

*****

"Okay never have I ever farted in public and somebody smelled it." Emma chuckled and we all made a disgusting face. "Never. I'm slick bitch." I giggled and Emelia made a face at me. "Ew." She giggled. "I have never done that." She added and the rest of the girls agreed.

After playing around for two hours, we were back home and were now playing never have I ever.

"Um never have I ever pranked a teacher." Emelia asked and we all nodded agreeing that we had. I mean, I think everyone, okay not everyone but the majority, has pranked their teachers at least once in their lives. "The best thing is that she never found out it was us." Emma chuckled and I eagerly nodded, giving her a high five.

"Okay my turn. Never have I ever taken my boyfriend's clothes and never returned them back to him." Bella said and we all nodded our heads in unison. "Well duh." Ashley said.

"I mean they are just so comfortable." Emelia said. "I know right." I nodded my head. Justin's clothes are the most comfortable clothes I had ever worn and I may have even borrowed some from him, without him knowing, and never returned them back to him. But he doesn't has to know about it.

"Never have I ever....read fanfictions." I licked my lips staring at the girl, eagerly waiting for their answers.

"Guilty." Emelia and Bella said in unison while Ashley and Emma shook their heads. "I was really obsessed with Zayn's fanfictions and I remember I used to read them all the time." Bella said and I chuckled. "I used to read fanfictions of Dylan O'Brien." Emelia said with a small blush on her face making me awe and giggle.

"I haven't read fanfictions. Like never. But I have read like thousands and millions of novels." Emma said. "Especially Greek mythology." I added and she nodded with a grin on her face. "I had read 18+ books." Ashley said, licking her lips trying to moist them. "The smuts were amazing though." She added making all of us laugh.

"Now you ask." Bella said to Ashley. She opened her mouth to ask but closed it again. "Never have I ever....no wait." She licked her lips again until a smirk took over her face. "Never have I ever done a role play with my boyfriend." She smirked making everyone let out a 'Ooo' sound.

"Maybe." Emma smirked and my eyes widened a little. "Wait when was that?" I asked and she just shrugged, her infamous smirk still stretched over her lips. "Never." Emelia and Bella shook their heads. "I have." Ashley shrugged making me chuckle.

"Never....." I trailed off until the images from a year ago started playing on my mind when Justin acted as 'Jason McCann' and we had crazy sex. "...Wait no...I have." I added feeling my cheeks heat up a little bit at the thought of that exciting day and everyone's eyes widened a little, but of course in a joking way. "Where is our innocent Lottie? What did you do to her?" Bella said dramatically making me throw a pillow at her face at which she flipped me off and I playfully rolled my eyes at her.

______________

I applied another coat of red lipstick on my lips and smacked them together. Wear a beautiful short black dress which had different colors flowers all over it, hair down and silver heels made me smile at my appearance.

I actually was looking really.... pretty.

"Pretty." I whispered to myself, with a small smile. I was all dressed up because the girls were taking me out for special birthday dinner. At least that's what they said to me. And with that I decided to wear something simple but cute.

"You ready Lottie?" Emma walked in the room and I smiled and nodded. "To be honest, I am really excited." I smiled widely and she chuckled. "Trust me you'll love it." She winked and I giggled linking my arms with her as we both made our way downstairs to Ashley's car in front of which Bella, Emelia and Ashley were standing and talking among themselves.

As we got closer, Emma cleared her throat loudly making them stop talking and give me an almost awkward smile until it changed into a genuine one within few seconds. I frowned my eyebrows in confusion but decided to shrug it off for now.

"You guys okay?" I chuckled. "Perfect. Never been better." Emelia said and I slowly nodded but I couldn't help but still feel like something was off. What were they even talking about? Was it about me?

"You look really beautiful Lottie." Bella said making me snap out of my thoughts and smile at her. "Thank you so much Belle. You all look really beautiful too." I said and she kissed my cheek. "Now let's get going. We don't wanna be late right?" Ashley said and everyone nodded and we all got in her car.

Ashley drove off and we were blasting the music the whole way until Bella decided to turn the radio off. "Lottie isn't the new house in the way?" She asked and I frowned my eyebrows in confusion. "The one Justin bought?" I said but it came out more like a question and she nodded. I took a quick look out of the window before turning back to her. "I suppose." I said softly. "Wanna go there? I want to see how the work is going on." She licked her lips in nervousness. "Right now?" I asked, a little shocked. Why did she want to see the house which was yet to be completed at almost 9 O'clock in the night? "But it's too dark." I added and she glared at Ashley for a split second. "It will be fun. C'mon." Ashley chuckled and I crossed my arms around my chest. "Do you guys know something that I don't?" I asked with an eyebrow raised and their eyes widened a little in panic.

"What? No!" Emelia jumped into the conversation. "And to be honest, I want to see it too. Can we please go?" She added giving me her adorable puppy dog eyes. The puppy dog eyes she knew I couldn't resist.

Damn it! I thought.

I opened my mouth to speak but Emma beat me into it. "We are going that's final!"

I blew out a raspberry and settled back down in my seat, knowing there was no point of arguing making the girls cheer.

Ashley turned the car towards the direction of the new house and by the time we were almost there I, myself, was getting excited to see the work because it has been a while since I had been here.

She pulled the car in the driveway and parkd it. I jumped out of the car ready to walk inside when I froze on my spot and turned around when I found nobody coming in with me.

It felt like they all were staring at me because when I turned around they frantically looked away and started acting as if they were searching for something. "Have you seen it?" Emma said and I frowned my eyebrows in confusion.

"What happened?" I asked and walked back to them. "Um nothing, I just can't find my phone. Um....why don't you go inside and switch on the lights for us." She waved her hand towards the front door. "Okay but Be-"

"-we are helping her look." Bella immediately said, cutting me off and I huffed. "Fine." I innocently shrugged and turned back around and started making my way towards the front door while shaking my head slightly.

What just happened? Why were they suddenly acting so weird? They were alright the whole day. I thought.

As soon as I opened the front door, a sound went off and a bulb was switched on above a big photo. But it wasn't just any photo. It was a photo of Justin and I.

It was a black and white candid photo of us laughing at something.

The bulb lightened above the photograph looked more like a spotlight which was just showering it's light upon the photograph and while everything else was dark.

I frowned my eyebrows in confusion and looked around, the sound of my heels clicking against the floor as I took another step inside and that's when another light went on and my eyes fell upon another photograph of Justin and I. He had his arms wrapped around my waist from behind and he was kissing my cheeks while my hands were holding his and my eyes were closed with my head turned to him and it seemed like he was the only thing that kept me on earth which he really did. This photograph too was black and white.

A tear rolled down my cheek and as I took another step further inside and one more light went on and this time it was a black and white photograph of both of us kissing with the biggest smiles on our faces.

"Jay?" I whispered softly. As soon as that word left my mouth the whole room was brightened up and that's when I saw the love of my life down on his one knee with many other photos of both of us hanging on the wall. Some big, some small but they were covered all over the wall.

My hand immediately rose up to cover my mouth as another tear rolled down my cheek.

"Happy Birthday angel." He smiled softly and I smiled back. "You are here." I said softly, his smile widening a little and I covered my face with my hand and a sob managed left my throat.

"Don't cry baby." He said softly and I removed my hand to look at him.

"Charlotte Pirate Chester Braun, you have been in my life for eighteen years now. I never thought I would fall in love with my Lottie but I did. It took me a while to realise it but when I did you became the air I breathe. You became my world. My everything. You became my happiness and the love of my life. You made me know and feel what true love feels like. You keep me sane. You keep me alive. Your beautiful smile, your cute laugh they keep me alive. And I'm so lucky to have you in my life. God really did sent his favourite angel on the earth for me, huh?" He chuckled softly and I giggled through my tears.

"I wake up everyday to see your gorgeous face. I wake up everyday to see your smile and hear your laughter. Everyday, every moment, I crave your beautiful smile. Your touch. I crave you. In every way and every sense of word. You are my favorite girl and I love you so much angel that it h-hurts." A tear rolled down his cheek and his voice cracked a little bit.

"And it terrifies me to death. It terrifies me what I would do without you. I had almost lost you so many time that now I'm so scared to let you go. I'm so scared of the thought of somebody taking you away from me." He softly wept and I immediately started shaking my head at him. Nobody was ever going to take me away from him. I will always be his. Always.

"When you got into the accident, I thought I'll lose you. I thought I won't be able to see your beautiful face ever again. I thought I won't be able to feel your touch and I won't be alive anymore. I thought I'll lose my love. I could feel my world falling apart and I couldn't do anything about it. But I knew, deep down, I knew--I knew you'd stay. You promised, right? And you stayed. You kept your promise. When I saw you again, when I touched you again, when I held you in my arms again, I felt like my world was back in my arms. Everytime I hurt you--I never wanted to hurt you in any way but I was always an idiot, a douchebag. And I regret it more than anything, believe me." More tears streamed down from both of our cheeks and I grasped his hands in mine and gave it a squeeze while he immediately intertwined our fingers together.

"You are the love of my life, Charlotte. You have always been but I had been too stupid to even notice it even when you were right under my nose. I love you so much that it makes my heart swell. Whenever I look at you, I fall in love with you all over again. Whenever I look at you, I just know that all I want for love is you. All I need for love is you. And I want to be yours forever. I never want to lose you. I want you. I need you. I always have. I want see your smile when I wake up in the morning. I want to hear your laughter. I want you to kiss me when I come back home to you from the studio. I want you to be a part of my tour life. I want to travel around the world with you. I want you to scold me whenever I try to annoy you. I want to have my children with you and watch them grow. I want to be the man of your dreams. I want you to be mine forever and I never want to share you with anyone. We had been through so much baby. So many bad seasons and good seasons and I will go through them again but only with you. Only with you by my side. We had been through hell. Many had tried to break us apart but we always came back stronger. I swear on my life to love you and to never leave you alone. I want my heart to be your home because mine is already yours. I want to protect and love you with my life."

"And I have still so much to say but I will probably be on my knees for the rest of my life just so I can express the love I have for you." He chuckled softly and a sob left my mouth.

"I just--I love you more than the life itself and I will continue to love you more than the life itself. Forever and always." He took out a small box, which probably had the engagement ring in it, from his back pocket and opened it towards me. I smiled at him waiting for him to ask the big question whose answer was definitely going to a big yes.

"Charlotte Pirate Chester Braun will you make me the luckiest man alive and marry me?"

"YES." I sobbed and immediately wrapped my around his neck and my legs around his waist as he slowly stood up wrapping his arms around my back and nuzzling his face in my neck as we both sobbed.

"You are so crazy." I chuckled and pulled my head away and locked my lips with his, pulling him into a passionate and loving kiss. This kiss being the most meaningful kiss we had ever shared.

"I love you." I cried resting my forehead against his. "I love you so much." I added and pecked his lips again. "I love you so much more babygirl." He mumbled against my lips as he kissed me again.

"We both know that is impossible." I giggled and he chuckled and put me back down on my feet and then slowly took the ring out of it's holder then held my left hand in his and slide in the ring in my ring finger before kissing the skin.

I immediately pulled him into another passionate kiss, my hand holding the back of his neck while his hands immediately went down towards my ass and he cupped it in his hands. His tongue found mine and we both started moving them around, pulling each other closer.

I pecked his lips one last time pulling away and looked down at the ring and found my eyes widening. Never have I ever seen such a beautiful ring in my entire existence.

"What the hell?" I gasped looking up at Justin. "Is it really mine?" I asked dumbfounded looking back down at the ring in admiration. Justin laughed at my reaction and wrapped his arms around me. "All yours." He whispered in my ear before kissing my earlobe and I smiled at him.

"This is the best birthday gift I have ever had. And it's all because of you." I kissed him again and before we could even deepened the kiss, we both heard loud cheering which made me jump and look in the direction from where the sound was coming.

My cheeks immediately flushed when I saw everyone, when I say everyone I actually meant both of our families and close friends and I even saw the girls cheering out loud. So that's why they were acting all weird. They, too, were the part of Justin's surprise.

"She said yes." Justin yelled in happiness kissing my cheek, making me giggle and everyone else to cheer even louder.

"Thank you so much everyone." I smiled.

"Hey where do you think you are taking my fiancรฉ?" Justin groaned while Bella dragged me away with her. She stuck her tongue at him making him do the same. I laughed softly and followed her to the bedroom where the rest of the girls were already waiting for us.

"We all know I had always been a 'cockblock' for Justin but not this time because I'm sure when you'll give him the surprise, he will instantly forget about it." Bella said making me chuckle. "Wait you want me to give him the surprise now?" I asked. "Well duh!" Ashley said. "This is a special day for you both and this surprise will make it even more special." Emelia smiled and a big grin took over my face as I slowly nodded my head. "You are right. But wait..." I frowned. "....I didn't bring it with me." I sighed looking down at my feet in sadness. Emma cleared her throat loudly making me look up at her only to find out that she was already holding the packet.

"What are friends for?" She smirked and I smiled widely and took it from her and kissed her cheek.

"You all are lifesaver." I hugged them making them chuckle and hug me back.

******

"Jay." I smiled softly as I made my way over to him. "Hey baby." He kissed my forehead making me close my eyes in bliss.

"Sit down here." I said making him sit down on one of the couches. I didn't find it necessary to take him in the corner to give him this surprise because only our close and loved ones were here.

"Why?" He asked but I just grinned and got down on my knees in front of him. Just then Emelia appeared with a camera in her hand and she started recording both of us on it.

"Why are you recording?" Justin chuckled in confusion when he saw her but she just smirked. "Remember the surprise I was talking about?" I asked Justin with a huge smile on my face and his face turned into a smirk as he turned his head towards me.

"So you wanna role play right now? Baby if you so badly wanted to record it, you could have just asked me for it. I'm sure Emelia won't want to see that." He smirked and I smacked his arm giving him a glare.

"Justin." I glared at him and he chuckled. "Okay I'm sorry. And yes I do remember." He grinned and I couldn't help but smile again and pulled out a rectangular box from my back and gave it to him.

"What's this?" He asked looking down at it. "Just open it." I said, my eyes already becoming tearing up with happy tears.

"Is this some kind of chain?" He asked checking the box. "No just open it." I chuckled and he smiled and slowly removed the cover and kept it aside. He then opened the box and his eyes widened a little when his eyes landed on his present and he kept staring in the box.

His widened eyes looked up at me and then again down at the box. I couldn't help but sob a little when he looked up at me again. "Wait for real?" He asked softly and I nodded and hugged him. Tears already streaming down my face. "Baby for real?" He asked again as he hugged me back and I giggled and nodded my head.

"Oh my God." He said softly and slowly pulled away from me and looking down at the pregnancy test I had just taken. The results were postive. The doctors even confirmed it. I thought I had the flu but in reality, I was pregnant. I was pregnant with Justin's baby.

"Oh my God." He whispered and hide his face in his hands, crying to himself and I grabbed the test and showed it to him again.

"I am pregnant." I couldn't help giggle and cry at the same time.

"We are going to have a baby." I giggled and he looked up again but this time with a big smile on his face, throwing his arms around me and standing up with me still in his arms making me wrap my legs around his waist as he tightly held me in his arms.

"We are going have a baby." He cried in happiness and I nodded and pecked his lips.

But it didn't seem to satisfy Justin because he crashed his lips on mine again. I smiled into kiss and started kissing him back with the same passion. Our lips moved towards in sync and his hold around me tightened while my fingers immediately locked with his hair as I grasped some of it in my hand.

"Thank you so much." He smiled, tears streaming down his face when we pulled away from the kiss. I knew I didn't look any different either.

"This is the best birthday surprise I have ever had."
