Two years later:

"And the award for best rock video goes to…"

My arm had almost gone numb from Kim squeezing so hard, and Haylee's nails digging into my other side.

The moment of suspense felt like years.

"…For the Record!"

The entire auditorium erupted into applause as my bladder almost lost control. Kim and Haylee just up and squealed in delight. I stood up and before we made our way to the stage, I was pulled into a breath taking kiss.

"Congratulations," Alex smiled.

"Thank you," I said before following the rest of my band on to the stage.

Once we got up there, the award was handed to me and we clustered around the microphone. We waited until the applause died down to speak. Kim and Haylee gave me the go-ahead to do the speech.

"Oh wow," I said, and chuckled. "This is unbelievable. If you would have told me three years ago that I'd be up here accepting our first MVA at 20, I wouldn't have believed you at all. This has been such an incredible journey from the start and we are so thankful for your support and love."

I dove into a long list of thank you's to people I didn't even think I would remember in a moment like this.

"And finally I'd like to thank my fiancé, Alex for all his love and support." I concluded, looking at him.

Everyone cheered again as we left the stage and entered the back stage area.

"Holy fuck!" I half yelled.

"I can't believe we won!" Haylee said.

"That was nerve racking and I wasn't even talking." Crystal said.

Crystal had taken Taylor's spot in the band. She was a really talented guitarist, and understood our humour. We found her right before going on tour when she showed up at Alex's door with a guitar after hearing Taylor was kicked out.

Her talent blew us away and that fact that she was so blunt and ready to go so it wasn't hard to give her the spot. Ever since then the band has been growing and each day is amazing.

We finished our senior year together without a problem, doing a few tours during our breaks. All Time Low's album debuted at #1 and ours at #3. After grad, All Time Low did a tour with Blink 182, a dream come true for all of them, while we did a shorter tour with Hey Monday and Forever The Sickest Kids.

After a year of touring, both bands started working on another album. Ours is going to be released within the next couple of days and All Time Low's was dropped in July.

Alex and my relationship had been steady this entire time, with only a few rough patches. Touring had made our trust in each other skyrocket.

Everything in my life had been going perfect and I didn't think it would get any better until a few weeks ago when Alex pulled me aside from everyone while we were at dinner. He looked nervous which made me nervous.

"So, I've been thinking," He started while my heart jumped into my throat. "We've been together for three years officially, but it feels like so much longer than that. I love you with every fibre of my being and I don't ever want to be with anyone else but you."

A grin broke out across his face as he dropped down to one knee and I swear my heart almost stopped.

"Kayleigh Anne White, will you make me the happiest man on earth by marrying me?" He asked while pulling out a ring. It sparkled in the dim light of the restaurant.

Tears of joy filled my eyes as I whispered, "Yes."

His smile got even bigger, if that was possible, and he slipped my promise ring off, and the engagement ring on.

We made our way back to the table as I wiped away the tears.

"What just happened?" Haylee asked as we took our seats.

I looked at Alex, smiling before answering.

"We're getting married," I announced.

The entire table cheered.

"Finally!" Rian said.

"Is there going to be cake?" Jack asked.

I laughed, "Yes Jack, there will be cake."

Wedding plans were thrown around for the rest night.

After that night, things just kept getting better. And now here we are, accepting our first music award. Everything that had happened was more than I could have dreamt in my wildest dreams.

We took our seats again during the break and watched the rest of the awards ceremony, All Time Low winning best single of the year.

We went back to the hotel after everything was over.

"Wow, that was incredible," Alex said, loosening his tie, making him look even hotter than he already did.

I nodded in agreement, "I still can't believe that happened."

I went into the bedroom and grabbed my bag, hauling it into the bathroom to change from my dress into pajamas. When I came out, Alex had disappeared from the living room.

I re-entered the bedroom to find the room dimly lit with French vanilla candles and a single rose lying on the bed.

I was speechless as Alex appeared behind me, wrapping his arms around me.

"Did you like it?" He whispered.

I nodded, "It's beautiful."

"Just like you."

I blushed as if it was the first time hearing it from him.

He scooped me up and carried me over to the bed, carefully laying me down after moving the rose. He pulled back the covers and we slipped between them.

Then he kissed me, his soft lips making my toes tingle and Goosebumps rise on my arms. I pulled back, staring into his dark eyes.

"Thank you," I said.

"For what?"

"Making me believe in love again."
