~The Next Morning~
After a restless night of tossing and turning trying to sleep but my brain keeps running, what to say to Charlie, what to think about the situation, I have no clue what to do but we have to talk about it. So I got up and got dressed for the day.

I walked out of my room and made eye contact with Charlie who just so happened to be shirtless,
"I'm going out, Uhm shopping, need anything?" I asked awkwardly scared of the conversation we needed to have, I'll wait until later to bring it up though,
"I don't need much, can you get me some boxers? I'm running low." He said scratching the back of his head. I nodded slowly and picked up my purse before I walked out and walk to my car. I drove to one of my favorite customizing stores, I got a pair of boxers for Charlie with my face in hearts on it and then a pair of underwear for myself with his face in hearts on them as a joke. I put them on almost immediately after I got them and then walked down to my normal store and picked up a few summer dresses and some jackets that looked cute before I grabbed Charlie's real boxers.
I started to drive home when I got a call from my brother back home,
"Hey kiddo!" I said, he may be 18 but he'll forever be my little brother,
"Hey Uhm are you with Charlie?"
"No, why?" My heart pounded a little, I don't know why though,
"He called Mom and it sounded urgent. Like a proposal."
"Impossible." I said quickly, "We aren't even dating Cole"
"Well it sounded like blessings."
"Okay I'll tell you later." Now that my heart is beating out of my chest, I hung up and walked to my apartment building before I got another call, this one made me stop in my tracks,
"Charlie?" I asked softly
"Kenzie, are you home yet?" He asked and it seemed urgent,
"Almost why?"
"I have a surprise so hurry up!" He said, wow! Is my heart beating quicker? Can't be, am I going to have a heart attack? No it's anxiety, "Kenz? You okay? You're breathing weird." He stated frantically in my ear,
"Charlie I'm right outside our apartment I think something is wrong can you come down and bring me to the ER, I'm scared." I said quickly and before I could hang up I saw Charlie running around the corner and he picked me up bridal style.
"I'm here, shh." He soothed as he put me in my car, I realized he was in a fancy outfit , he looked like he threw shoes on and came to help. He put me in his car as I breathed heavily not realizing I still had my bags in my hands. I let go and tried to breath,
"Charlie, hurry up!" I yelled I'm pure fear, before I knew it we were at the hospital and Charlie picked me up again,
"This is Mackenzie Callaghan. Female, 125 lbs, 5'2. She is having trouble breathing." He said as he approached the front desk, the nurses rushed over and put me in a wheelchair. It's terrifying, the evaluated me quickly and gave me anxiety medication and called for a doctor to prescribe me more for a few months because I forgot to get more and I was having an anxiety attack. I walked out to the waiting room and saw Charlie waiting for me,
"I'm okay now, I had a severe anxiety attack, thanks for taking me here." I said softly as I walked up, Charlie quickly picked me up and held me,
"You scared me, but let's get home, we need to talk." He said softly. I clutched my medication and walked to the car, we got in and I looked at my bags, before Charlie started the car he looked at me,
"I love you." I said quickly, stupid diarrhea of the mouth.
"I love you too Kenzie." He said softly as he turned the car on, I held my bags and waited until we got home again. Once we did I got out of the car and walked toward the doors with my bags, Charlie ran ahead of me and opened the doors for me making me giggle, he opened our apartment door and as I walked through the door I saw rose petals leading to Charlie's room, I was able to walk through the door and I saw rose petals spelling out 'I love you' and then I turned,
"Charlie." I gasped seeing him on one knee,
"Mackenzie Grace Callaghan, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked with a promise ring in between his fingers, I nodded giggling,
"I got you a gag gift but it isn't a gag anymore." I said as I put my bags down and lifted out matching underwear, Charlie chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me close to his chest. I stayed there as I buried myself in his chest smiling, it felt real and real is what I'd waited for since we were teenagers. All of a sudden I heard laughter, I looked around and saw that cameras were around us and friends from high school were around us,
"Kenzie.." Charlie said softly as I pushed away as tears lined my eyes, blurring my vision. I ran to my room and went to close my door and I just saw my mom and brother.
"This is just like high school all over again." I said softly seeing that behind them was my former best friend. I closed the door and locked it, I looked at the ring and saw that it was just like the one in high school, the one he kept on a necklace. I took the ring off and put it in our shared bathroom and closed my door behind me as I sat against my bedroom door. I heard a knock on my door,
"Kenzie! Please, let me in! I'm sorry. It was a dumb joke!" I heard Charlie yell,
"Nope, I'm done! This is all some big joke to you Charlie! Just go look at what I bought! I do everything I can to help out!" I was pissed beyond belief, all of a sudden I could hear the bathroom door being opened, I watched as Charlie walked in with the stupid boxers on.
"You made a joke too!" He said with a chuckle
"Hey mine doesn't hurt your feelings!" I said with a slight smile as I wiped my tears from my cheeks, Charlie sat next to me,
"If I walk out into that group of people wearing these boxers will you cheer up?" Charlie asked with a mischievous smile.
"Fine." I said softly with a sigh. I stood up and opened the door and watched Charlie walk out, so I video taped him, "payback babe!" I yelled and smiled as I watched Charlie turn and give me a grin as he turned bright red. He walked over to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders,
"You're despicable." He said before kissing my temple.

~Later~
I was cleaning up the apartment when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist,
"Hey." Charlie said softly against my ear and I could just feel and smell the alcohol on his breath,
"How much did you drink?" I asked softly as I turned around seeing him in his pajamas. We locked eyes for a moment,
"Maybe just a little too much?" He slurred as if he were asking a question. I moved his arm and carried him to his room before I laid him down,
"Listen here mister." I said softly,
"Yes ma'am." He replied softly looking up at me with a child like smile,
"You have to stay in bed until the morning and sleep. Promise me?" I asked softly. He nodded slowly making me smile before I kissed his forehead. I walked out of the room and went back to cleaning.
