Authors note:

This is a Journal essay I had to write for English class so i changed it around alittle and turned it into my favorite couple Niley :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing! except for the story the characters are not mine!, even though i wish they were because then Niley would be together in a heart beat!

This is also my first post, one-shot and story, so I'm not sure how well it turned out.

Dear Journal,

He asked me to marry him today, I love him but I'm only 17. I don't know if I should marry him so soon. If I say no I don't want to lose him, he's everything to me. His eyes, his smile, everything about him is amazing. He's always there when I need him, 24/7. I know he will make a wonderful husband.

We have so many memories together from our three years as a couple. Nights on the beach, camping under the stars, even dancing in the rain. The rain is my favorite though, the sound of the rain hitting the street, is like the beating of a drum or our hearts together as one. Before we got together he was, and still is, my best friend, the guy I could always go to for help. I think of him all the time, in the rain, sunshine, and the snow.

Last spring was wonderful, I remember it so well. The flowers were blooming and all the eggs were hatching bringing new life to our town. We spent our days playing silly games in the park like tag and hide-and-go-seek. We were in our own little world together, as one. Him and I went on picnics and just were so happy to be together. It was like a fairy tale, and now him asking me to marry him could either bring a end to our fairy tale, or a new beginning. I have always been the type of girl to stand on my own two feet, and now that he is everything to me I guess I'm scared that I will lose my independence.

Summer was a wonderful time, we were out of school and had no worries. Tanning on the beaches and sleep over's under in the stars were how we spent our days and nights, still together as one. As we laid on the beach I would lay my head on his chest and hear his heart beat, my favorite song. Our days together were wonderful, but it being summer we both got jobs, so our time apart was long and hard. He would send me these cute text messages saying simple things just to make me smile. Making our time apart somewhat better.

We knew our summer days were limited bringing fall back once again like every year before. We spent our weekends camping, sitting around a fire and roasting marshmallows. Him and I had friends come with us, it was one big group. My friends and I loved every moment of if, we all knew our times together were short so we made the best of it. Under those stars just watching the clear sky, wishing on shooting starts that these moments would last forever.

Winter was the most fun, we made a snowman, his name was Mr. S. We went sledding and had the best time of our lives. Just him and I, the two of us together. We later sat around the fire place and drank hot chocolate and cuddled all night long. The snow was so beautiful, it was like a blanket of feathers just drifting from the sky. He kept me warm threw the whole winters storm, and I love him for that. When it was time for Christmas the two of us had dinner at my parents and his family came over, too. Our two families ate together and it felt perfect having everyone together under one roof. Now, that spring is back and it's been the recap of one full year, he asked me to marry him today, and I said yes.

Love,

Soon to Be, Mrs. Nate Gray
