A.N: I'm so proud of this, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it!
I had never been blindfolded before. It's a strange feeling; you have to rely on all of your other senses to guide your eyes. All you can see is black even though your eyes are wide open. My straggly hair covered over the blindfold as well as partly my ears so that I could not hear much therefore forcing me to rely on touch and smell. I could hardly touch anything again however due to Jared's hand pulling me along what seemed to be an extremely long corridor, passing people as we went. The faint muffling of 'Hello's and wafts of aftershave and perfume only gave me one clue; we were somewhere fancy.
"Can I undo it now Jared?" I said
"No, not yet" he hastily replied. This was ridiculous. I could tell you now that it had already been 10 minutes that I was in this blindfold. It felt unnatural to be like this for so long. Luckily I wasn't claustrophobic.
"Wait here a second" Jared whispered as he stopped me still, letting go of my hand. His footsteps began to trail off.
"Jared, where are you going? Don't leave me!" I called. I stood there alone, afraid of being watched, I tried to act cool. Although, this was particularly hard. 30 seconds later, a body reappeared by my side, "Where did you go?"
"Sorry baby, I just saw this most amazing door. The colours were so vivid and the shapes completely caught my eye." He paused, "you didn't mind me taking a picture for the echelon do you?"
"No, it was fine, I just got worried that you were going to leave me here" I sighed whilst he chuckled.
"Of course I wasn't going to leave you here! Quite the opposite really. Now, are you ready to follow me again?"
"Well what else am I going to do?" As I finished my question, Jared's lips briefly touched mine. I could feel he was clean shaven; just the way I like him.
So, I continued to follow him. His hand guided me along what seemed like another set of corridors before finally coming to the halt I'd been patiently waiting for. I felt two hands come from behind me, holding onto the edges of the blindfold ready to reveal the world.
Jared's mouth moved to my ears as he whispered "3, 2, 1" His lips stayed by my ears and his eyes gazed at my face as I looked around me. All that was in front of me was a seat in front of me. A few meters away were a small stool and an acoustic guitar. Jared pushed me towards the seat and I obeyed, sitting quietly down. Confused, I watched him walk and perch on the stool, sweeping the guitar up with one swift move. He was dressed in a dark suit, similar to his famous red one. His dark hair swept across his face; he'd recently decided to give the 'From Yesterday' hair another go before revealing it to the echelon. As id expect, they'd be happy that was back. Jared caught my eye, "I'm sorry if this is rusty". I sat back and smiled.
"Whatever it is, take your time."
He gave me a smile and quickly checked if the guitar was still in tune. He'd obviously been preparing this. I picked up the tune instantly; hurricane.
"Do you really want, do you really want me, do you really want me dead or alive, to live a lie"
His eyes gazed back up at my face as he re-sang the line three more times. He put his guitar down slowly and walked towards me whilst he modified the lyrics; "Do you really want, do you really want me, do you really want me here or with you in our own home. Do you really want, do you really want me, do you really want to be hidden from the ones that follow me." He paused and then casually said, "Or do you want to show everyone the future Mrs Leto?" Jared winked as he got down on one knee. My heart pounded in my chest. A smile crept from one ear to the other as my hand rose in disbelief. "I love you and I will do for the rest of my life. You've seen how I can't do this on my own anymore. You've always been there behind the scenes silently and watched all of the fangirls and boys fawn over me without one word. You do so much for me, I just want to do something for you. So, will you do me the greatest honour that I could ask for? Will you marry me?"
I said nothing. I was in shock. He misread this.
"You can chose the venue and the guest list and even the music if you so want to. Shannon and Tomo are here and they want to know what-"
"Yes." I whispered above his chatter. Jared stopped. "Yes" I said louder. "Yes yes yes" I repeated over and over again. Jared stood up and held my face centimetres from his own.
"You are going to make me the happiest man around" he said as I sank into his blue eyes, "but first; can I please have your hand?" In all the commotion I hadn't even looked at the ring let alone put it on my finger. It was in a small, blue tiffany box; A silver band that elegantly slipped onto my finger. The stone was set in the ordinary position. "It's your birthstone" he added, "not a fake one" he smiled. I was fixated on it for some time. Jared had gone into a lot of trouble for me, and I was certain that I never wanted to leave his side ever. "I must ask one favour of you however."
My eyebrow fell slightly as I looked up at him, "What's that?" I croaked out, frightened there would be a catch.
"I would like another picture for my website. Come closer so I can take it then! Tomo, Shannon! She said yes!" he called into the dark curtains placed behind us. As soon as their names were called, the rest of the band appeared.
"Well done bro!" Shannon shouted, eagerly anticipating this moment.
"Time for celebration in a minute brother, can you do the picture now?"
"Sure thing" Shannon pulled out a small camera from his back pocket, "Ok now you two, look in love. Look happy. Jared smile. Thank you. Now raise that hand up, the echelon will want to see that rock!" As soon as the image was taken, I asked Shannon to show me the image. We all gathered around the camera to see my first picture as Jared's fiancée. Tomo's reaction completely covered the situation and set the tone for the rest of my life, "That's perfect."
