Justin's POV

I'm getting dressed which now takes forever with this stupid ankle, but I'm excited. Brian's finally getting discharged today and he said he has something important to tell me. Which is good because over the past few days I've felt like he was ignoring me. I mean every time I leave the room he locks himself in the room and has private talks with mom or Em.

I know it sounds crazy after everything we've been through but I feel like…he's pulling away from me. Which kinda makes me nervous for the little talk he wants to have. But that's probably from the anxiety, the doctors made us both see the shrink they had at the hospital. The guy had given me something for it but I hated taking it. So dealing with anxiety and paranoia is the result.

I try to shake it off while mom drives me to the hospital, it's ridiculous. Brian loves me I know he does, after everything he did to get me back. He wouldn't dump me now, I mean I know he got stabbed because of me but...ugh. I try to ignore the nagging thoughts as we walk into the hospital.

Mom waits in the waiting room while I head to the elevator. I try to stay calm but I'm kinda freaking out, I walk as fast as I can to Brian's room. I bump into Em coming out of Brian's room.

"Whoa baby where's the fire?" he said smiling

"Just happy for him to come home" I said shrugging

"Aren't we all" he said holding the door open for me

When I get inside Brian is pacing in the clothes I brought over for him yesterday. When he sees me his whole face lights up and it kinda stuns me. I mean lately he has been giving me some very uncharacteristically loving looks lately. But this was something else.

"Hey" he said helping me sit on the bed

"Hey" I said hugging him before sitting back down "um since when do you pace?"

"I just…I just wanted to do this right" he said biting his lip

He carefully gets down on one knee and I'm extremely confused until he pulls out a little box.

"Brian" I whisper softly as all my anxiety melts away

"I know I already asked you and you already answered. I just needed to do this right, we…we have our own way of doing things. And it works for us the whole you always telling me you love me thing. And me always implying it but I need you to know how much you mean to me." He said as my eyes start to water.

"Before I took you home that night…I didn't even think I could love anyone. Care about them sure but love absolutely not. Then you just snuck under all my…defenses and made me fall in love with you. No matter how many times I tried to get you to go away" he said making us both laugh

"Even though everybody I know told you I was a selfish shit. You saw something else in me and…you made me see it too" he said a tear rolling down his face. "And I've changed you've changed me, in the best possible way angel. You know my heart by heart and I want to be with you for the rest of my life." He said opening the box

Inside is a perfect white gold ring with a vine looking design on the sides. With three blue topaz stones in the center.

"Justin Taylor, will you marry me?" he asks

"Yes!" I said with tears streaming down my face

Brian stands up to kiss me before taking my left hand and slipping my engagement ring.

"I don't suppose you'd let me get you an engagement ring would you?" I ask half-heartedly, I don't mind having an engagement ring I love it.

"Nope I already know how much you love me. This ring and the one after it will be two constituent reminders of how much I love you" he said kissing me again

We're interrupted when Daph bursts in on her own set of crutches.

"Are you guys okay, I'm only asking because Emmett is standing by the door bawling like a baby and –" she stops when she takes in our expressions

"Is everything okay?" she asks

"Were you really listening the whole time?" Brian asks annoyed

Emmett walks in and nods his head as he walks over to me. "Let me see he let me help him with almost everything but the ring. Well at least this one" he said grabbing my hand

"Ring?" Daph said confused

"Brian asked me to marry him…well –"

"Oh my God! Well let's see it" she said sitting on the bed. I show her and let her and Em fawn over my ring.

Then my mom pokes her head in "did you do it?" she asks Brian he nods and she walks over to him and gives him a huge hug. Then she hugs me before inspecting the ring.

Only a few seconds later Debbie and the rest of the gang spills into the room. Daph explains and shows everyone my hand. I have to admit all the attention is a little much right now. Debbie tells Brian how happy she is for him and hugs him. Doctor Clair comes in to tell us to calm down we did get a little loud.

She also gives us an update on Ted who's finally awake. She said he's healing up well and that we could go see him if we wanted. Two at a time though Emmett followed after her first with Drew right behind him. Everyone else followed while Mom and Daph stayed with Brian and I while he singed the forms Doctor Clair gave him.

"Well you're free to go whenever you're ready. And I'm happy for both of you" she said smiling

"Thanks" Brian said pulling me close and wrapping his arms around my waist

"Um Mr. Taylor could I take to you for a minute?" she said and I rolled my eyes

"I'll be right back" I said giving Brian a quick kiss before following Dr. Clair into the hallway

"I know you asked me not to tell anyone about the–"

"And I'm happy you haven't and I am going to…" I look back into the room and watch Brian. And I start crying again "he's so happy…I–I can't" I said wiping my eyes.

"Look I know this is hard–"

"And unnecessary since I don't even remember it!" I said trying not to yell

"Fine but you should talk to someone about it. Which reminds me" she said pulling a list out of her folder. "This is for Brian, I really am happy for you and I hope you tell someone about it Justin"

"I will" I said before giving her a quick hug and going back to Brian

I skim the list she gave me and I don't get it "Um why did Clair want me to give you a list of therapist in New York?" I ask

"That's the other thing I wanted to tell you…after we get married which won't be for a while because I want us both to walk down the aisle as opposed to hobbling–"

"Brian" I said getting a little annoyed at him beating around the bush

"After we get married…we're moving to New York"
