To Stay With Her

"Troy?" Chad asked over the phone as his friend answered.

"Yeah?" Try said as he walked around his room.

"I have a really big favor to ask." Chad said softly.

"Depends on what the favor is." Troy grumbled.

"I need you to go with me to get Taylor a promise ring." Chad said hopefully.

"Fine, good a day as any, the girls are getting all dressed up for Prom and it takes us like ten minutes to get ready tops." Troy said as he walked out of his room.

"Good! I'll be there in five minutes!" Chad said happily before he hung up.

"Why do people not say 'bye' anymore?" Troy asked himself.

"I love getting my hair done, don't you?" Gabriella said with a wistful voice.

"Yeah." Taylor said as the stylist curled her hair. She had asked the hairstylist to leave her hair down, but have the front of it pulled back.

"I'm so exited!" Gabriela squealed.

"I am too!" Taylor said with a smile.

"So, what type of ring are you going to get her?" Troy asked as he looked at the glass case that held promise rings.

"Nothing too small…but nothing too big." Chad explained, as he looked at all the rings in the display case.

"Hmmm." Troy said as he looked at the rings.

"I think that this is the one." Chad said suddenly.

"What?" Troy asked as he came up to Chad. Chad pointed to a ring that sparkled in the well-lit room.

Troy let out a long whistle as he looked at the ring. It was small, but not too small. There was a single diamond that was held together with a white gold band. From the looks of it, it would fit Taylor's ring finger without needing to be sized.

"Sir, I would like to purchase that ring." Chad said as he pointed to the ring in the case. The man nodded his head and opened the case. He took the ring out and put it into a small black velvet box. Chad grinned as he pared for the ring, and Troy and Chad hurried home to get ready for the prom.

"The guys should be here any minute!" Gabriella squealed as Taylor put in her earring. Taylor rolled her eyes at Gabriella's enthusiasm, but inside she was jumping for joy.

"I think that I'm done. Are you?" Taylor asked as she looked at her appearance critically.

"Yup!" Gabriella said happily.

"Gabs, you look gorgeous!" Taylor said as Gabriella spun around like a model, giggling the whole time.

"Well, look at you Tay, you look stunning!" Gabriella said as Taylor blushed.

"Thanks." Taylor mumbled as her blush started to disappear.

"I think I should get home. Troy will be there is about an hour, and my mother will be taking my picture…so that may take awhile!" Gabriella said as she hugged Taylor quickly. "Bye!" Gabriella said before rushing out of the door.

"Bye!" Taylor yelled after her.

Chad took a deep breath as he got out of the limo. He walked towards Taylor's front door and reached for the doorbell. He hesitantly pushed the button, and the doorbell rang throughout the house.

The door swung open about a minute later. "Chad!" Mrs. McKessie said as she smiled at her daughter's boyfriend.

"Hello Mrs. McKessie." Chad said as he was ushered inside of the house.

"I'll go get Taylor." Mrs. McKessie said as she winked at him.

Chad nodded his head and stood by the front door, left hand in his pocket, and the other holding the corsage that he was going to give to Taylor. He heard footsteps and his head shot up, expecting to see Taylor, instead, he saw Mrs. Mckessie coming down the stairs with a smile on her face.

"She'll be down in a minute." She said as she reached the last step.

"Okay." Chad replied as he looked at the corsage that he had gotten Taylor.

He heard footsteps again and when he listed his head up, he saw the most beautiful person in the world. Taylor was walking down the stairs, her hair curly and flowing down her back like a waterfall. Her dress clung to her figure as she descended the stairs, the medium purple accenting her dark skin. Chad noticed that she had on some light purple eye shadow, and other light colors.

"Wow." Was all that Chad could say.

"Thanks." Taylor said with a blush.

"Well, I think that we need to take some pictures of my baby girl." Mr. McKessie said as he walked into the room, a camera in his hand.

"Daddy!" Taylor whined.

"Come on sweetie, just a few pictures." Mr. McKessie argued with his daughter lightly.

"Find Daddy." Taylor mumbled as she gave Chad an apologetic smile.

"I like this idea, my Mom was actually wondering if you could get doubles, she wants some of the pictures…if that is okay." Chad said with a smile at Taylor.

"Of course!" Mrs. McKessie said as she grabbed the corsage that Taylor had bought for Chad.

"Here you go." Chad said as he got the corsage out and slid it onto Taylor's wrist.

"Thanks Chad. It's beautiful." Taylor said with a smile. Taylor grabbed the box from her Mom, and pinned the corsage onto Chad's jacket pocket.

"Pictures!" Mrs. McKessie said as Taylor and Chad walked into the living room where the fireplace was. Taylor rolled her eyes but posed for all the pictures that her parents wanted.

No matter what embarrassment her parents put her through, Chad stood by her, taking it all in and still looking happy about it. She thought that he would to anything, to just be with her, and for that, she was grateful.
