Chapter 2

Courtney groaned as a pair of pants was thrown at her sleeping body.

She yawned and sat up in the bed, "Trent what are you doing?"

"I FORGOT TO PACK" he screamed.

She sighed and laid down again, "I packed for you"

Trent stopped in the middle of the room and looked at her, "I love you Courtney Satella".

"Yeah yeah," she turned around and pulled the comforter higher up on her body, "Get back in bed before I make you sleep on the couch".

He chuckled and crawled in beside her. He put his arm around her waist, as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next day Courtney was up before Trent, checking and making sure that they had everything. She quickly made coffee and woke up Trent. Despite living a couple blocks from the hotel, they needed to mentally prepare. They sat down at the table in silence.

"So today's the day," Trent sighed.

"I guess so," Courtney replied as she took as sip of coffee.

Trent grabbed her hand and looked her in the eyes, "No matter what happens during this week, just know that I love you. No one, not even Gwen or Duncan can change that. Okay?"

She smiled, "Okay".

By the time they had gotten in the cab, Courtney's attitude had changed about the whole thing. She was actually looking forward to seeing Bridgette. Trent was ready to see all the boys, But he was worried about his Courtney rooming with Duncan.

Courtney turned and looked at Trent, "When we get back home, I'm going to get a dog".

"Why's that?" He chuckled.

"I just really want a dog." She smiled

"Okay, then we'll get a dog" He held her hand.

"Really?" He nodded, "Trent I love you so much!" She threw her arms around him and kissed his cheek.

Once they finally arrived at the hotel, Trent got the bags and Courtney paid. Before they entered, Trent grabbed Courtney's hand and led her into the hotel. When they walked in, they were stunned, there was a big crystal chandelier, a lounge, a small bar, and much much more. While they were admiring the scene, Courtney was wrapped up in a hug.

"Court, I have missed you!" The similar blonde screeched.

"Bridge!" Courtney let go of Trent and squeezed Bridgette.

"How have you been?" Bridgette asked letting go of the brunette.

"I've been great, how about you?" Courtney asked as Trent wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"Great, amazing actually, Me and Geoff are going to have a new addition soon." She sheepishly smiled

"Really? That's awesome!" Courtney squealed.

"How's this one been treating you," She motioned to Trent.

"Like a princess, as always," Courtney kissed Him, "I'm going to go check in real quick, be right back."

When Courtney ran off, Trent and Bridgette had their own conversation.

"When are you going to do it?" She whispered.

"Today for sure, time-wise, I don't know." He replied quietly.

"Please do it around us, I really want to see her reaction." She smiled.

" I will, I'll see you around Bridgette, I'm going to go see the boys." He said as he walked away.

Everyone caught up, Courtney and Trent saw Duncan and Gwen but they obviously avoided the former CIT and guitarist. They were all called into the Ballroom area, and it was set up where there was tables and a small buffet table with snacks and drinks. Chris came out and gave a speech about how everyone in the room was family and that we got him a lot of money , he thanks us for that. Then he gave updates on all the former contestants' lives.

"DJ: currently lives with his mother, and makes his living by running a YouTube channel on how to cook stuff."

"Duncan: I don't know how he made it here without getting arrested, but he's here. He works at a restaurant as a dishwasher."

"Tyler: He's a coach of a high school track team. He married Lindsay."

…

"Courtney: She's living with Trent, and she's a lawyer."

…

"Trent: He's recording a solo album" *Trent walks over and whispers in Chris' ear* "He's got something to say"

Trent stood at the front of the room "Courtney can you come up here please?"

She slowly made her way to him. "Trenton Cooper, what are you doing?"

"Courtney, the day I met you, I thought you were stuck up. When I finally got to know you I was surprised, you were a caring, sweet girl. When we went on our first date, I remember, you were wearing that black dress that kills me every time you wear it. Your hair was curled and it was the first time I saw you with makeup on. I remember that you had ordered The roasted chicken and then we went to go see a movie. I'm so happy that you didn't roll your eyes when I yawned and put my arm around you. After a couple dates you were over at my apartment every day. Then I noticed my hoodies and shirts going missing. So eventually you moved in and I realized that you were a neat freak. The best part of the morning is waking up next to you, or waking up to your singing in the shower or kitchen. The first trip we took, was to your mother's, I still remember the sunglasses you wore, and how you sang your heart out all the way there. What I remember most about that trip is that, that was the moment I fell in love with you. I know, that my forever is with you. I can never tell you that I love you enough. Ti amo. Je t'aime. Ich liebe dich. I love you. Courtney Satella, will you marry me?"
