Jade's point of view….still

You're horribly nervous about tonight. And of course, that leaves Jess utterly clueless and unaware of everything you're doing. She was so stubborn and naïve but you found it amazingly cute. It gave you those little girly giggly moments inside every time she spaced out. She had very selective hearing.
You sucked in a deep breath as you approached Shaquell and Davey. Davey had her pinned up against the tour bus as he brushed her hair behind her ear as she smiled at him. He was right about to kiss her when you felt an urge to interrupt with, "Um, hey you guys."
Davey glared at you as Shaquell cluelessly greeted, "Hey Jade! I heard about your proposal! Aren't you nervous?"
You abruptly said, "Shhh! Keep it down! I don't want it to spread, but yes, I'm unbearably nervous about it. What if she's not ready! I'd be a failure with the whole world watching!"
Shaquell then quieted down and said, "I know how she is and I know she's going to be surprised and confused. But I promise you that whatever her answer will be is going to be the right choice for both of you. No matter how clueless she can be sometimes."
Davey looked at her with wide eyes. "Damn, Shaquell, I'm very impressed with you. Despite how out of it you are, you surprisingly can give good advice."
She punched him in the arm and started kissing him slowly as you turned and said, "Okay, that's my cue to leave," before walking away towards the backstage area. You had to prepare for sound check soon and you were hardly feeling up to performing when your gut felt like it would explode.
You then grabbed your guitar and started playing a song that'd you'd started to write but could never finish. You lightly started to strum as you started to sing, "This is the start of something I never had beforeuntil I laid my eyes on you. You painted these pictures into my head of all the things I never knew. But you never ever had a clue
Intense devotion doesn't know the truth
Cured figures could never understand the few
People that they never knew
This heart it aches without showing up with you"
You closed you eyes and tried to think of more to write. "Wow Jade, that was a beautiful song, is it for Jess?"
You turned around and saw Lauren standing there smiling. You looked down shyly because she heard your song. You looked up and said, "Um, you weren't supposed to hear that…it's not done…"
She smirked and sat down next to you and said, "I can read you like an open book. It's a nice song and I know it's for Jess. Don't be scared tonight, Jade. We all are pulling for you,"
You smiled a little relieved that everyone believed it would work. You hoped to God it would.
Eventually it was time to go on stage. You were going to perform a few songs before and right in the middle of everything. You had already planned what you were going to say and even though inside you were scared, you knew you had to do this.
As you walked on that stage, you felt a slight jolt of confidence as you played the first song. The despair factor.
You then continued through the rest of the few songs until you reached the halfway point. You sucked in and said, "Alright, you guys, I love you guys and appreciate you guys so much for coming out tonight. Now, I'm about to do something really weird, but you're going to have to follow along with me on this okay?"
After getting several answers from the crowd, you then spoke firmly into the microphone, "Now, I want you all to chant my girlfriend Jess's name until she comes up! She doesn't know I'm doing this, so it might be a little difficult to get her up here for what I'm about to do. Can you help me out?"
The audience cheered before starting to chant "Jess," over and over again. You then saw a red spark from the corner of your eye. You smiled as you saw her approach shyly onto the stage.
"Jess, I love you so much and I know that this is possibly the most unprofessional way to approach this but," you paused and said,
"Jesse Elizabeth Hansen, will you marry me?"

Jess's point of view…

Your stomach dropped as you heard those words echo over the suddenly quiet stadium. You couldn't say anything. You couldn't breathe. You actually could feel the tears run down and you couldn't tell if they were tears of joy or tear of confusion. You turned a looked at the crowd. You could feel their eyes lie on you alone as they pressured you for an answer. You stepped forward toward Jade and you literally fell into his arms, you were so in shock. He just stood there holding on to you for what seemed like hours before you finally whispered in his ear, "Yes," and he released you from his grip as you walked offstage completely dazed. You then heard him call over the microphone, "She said yes! Oh my god! Alright, we're AFI and this song is called, "The last kiss"!"
You went and sat backstage. You rested your chin on your palm wondering what just happened. You sighed and thought about it excruciatingly as your head yelled at you all the reasons why'd it be better to wait. But you didn't care anymore. He actually had the guts to ask and that was all that mattered. You shook your head still in disbelief.
"Did you say yes?" asked Shaquell as she walked up with Lauren. They both sat on either side of you. You nodded and said, "Yeah I said yes but now I'm horribly confused. This should've crossed my mind sooner. I should've known he'd propose. I so was not prepared for this. And you all knew?"
They nodded. Lauren then said, "Man, you are so lucky to have someone as dedicated as him. You know how I've been with Caleb since I first met him and how he is great but I don't think anyone compares to the real connection you two have. I envy that,"
You smiled and said, "If I'm so lucky, then why won't this confusion go away?"
Shaquell then said, "It's because you're in definite denial. Is it really that hard to believe that he wants to spend his life with you and have his children with you?"
"Maybe, it's harder than it looks. I love him so much but is this really what happens in the end? Or will something just end up screwing everything up and leaving me alone?"
They both sighed as Lauren said, "That's life. You don't know what happens but if you believe in true love, it'll all fall into place."
Shaquell then stood up and said, "When you see him tonight after the show, all that confusion will go away and you'll be so happy you won't even be able to speak. You two are going to push your limits tonight," then Lauren stood and smiled before saying, "and by that, we mean, you two better get the sex over with because if you wait any longer, you're both going to seriously talk yourselves out of it. We mean it this time. No interruptions but anyone. Just you two,"
They both sighed. Then Shaquell said finally, "Love is such a wonderful subject…anyways I'm going to go find Davey now because all this great friend advice is giving me a headache."
Lauren then added, "Tell me about it. Damn you smart people wearing off on me. I'm going to go find Caleb. Later Jess."
Then they both left you alone, leaving you to your vacant thoughts.

You cringed as you heard AFI say their final thank you as they paraded backstage. You suddenly felt a presence as you looked to see Jade sitting next to you shyly.

"So..." he started, not sure what to say. You felt a tiny girlish instinct flow through you as you grabbed his hand and lay on his chest. You suddenly felt really confident.

"Jade, I think I'm ready. You know what I'm talking about," you said firmly. His eyes widened as images flew through his mind. He smiled and said, "Let's go home."

You nodded.
