I am very sorry it took me so long!! I have been majorly busy :( but on the bright side I now have a fanfiction site up check it out :) year later

Time's really flown by, a year later and everything is so different from how it was back then. Tom and I are still going strong and I love him more and more with each passing day. We've had our rough patches, like when he thought I was seeing Dougie again behind his back, but what couple doesn't. I really think he's the one I see myself growing old with, he's the one I can imagine having children with and he's the one I imagine standing at the alter on my wedding day. I don't think life would ever be the same without him and I thank God every day for him, for giving me someone I love who loves me back.

McFly is kind of taking a long, long break right now. They just needed to live a normal life for a change. They swear that they're going to get back together though after a couple years so the fans won't have to live without them forever. Danny and I are best friends now, we're like Tom and I were, except without the more than friendly feelings. He listens to me when Tom and I are fighting and helps me out so much. It's the same with him and his new girlfriend, Sable, and trust me, they fight a lot. Dougie is on a long vacation in the US right now, but he calls us everyday, filling us in on what's going on in his life and vise versa. He's just broken up with his girlfriend of four months and is trying to get away from all the media. He's also still sweet as can be, with a few mood swings now and then. All you have to do is give him a good smack on the back of his head and his mood changes drastically, from mad to playful, he's a freak I tell ya. He's coming back next week for Harry's wedding. Yes, you heard right, Harry is getting married. To tell you the truth, I think he's a dumb ass. He's only been with his girlfriend, Ashley, for five months, three of which he's spent planning the freaking ceremony. He swears up and down that they're truly in love, I give it a year. Anyway, Fletch has sadly passed away. Just kidding but I bet you were happy there for a second. He's actually busy with a new girl group that's taking the UK by storm. They're pretty good actually. They're called The Queenz Beez, yea stupid name but their music's good. As for Tom, he's been writing a lot lately, getting ready for McFly's comeback, whenever that may be. He misses it a lot, he was the only one who didn't want to take the break. When he needs extra money all he has to do is sell one of his songs to his record company and he's good for a few more months. He also spends a lot of time with his friends and family, and me of course, making up for the time he lost while in McFly.

Right now, I'm getting ready to go out with Tom. We're celebrating our one year anniversary! I'm so excited, he's taking me to the place where we had our first official date as a couple. I know it's cliche but it's cute, plus he's not that original when it comes to romance. I looked in the mirror, examining my dark, blue silk dress, that went down to my knees and a little past in kind of a slant, and making sure my hair was ok. I had put it up with a couple of curly strands framing my face. I smiled as I heard Tom walk into the room.

"You ready, babe? Wow," he said, as I turned around," You're beautiful."

I smiled and walked over to him, giving him a quick peck on the lips," Thank you, you look handsome as well."

He got a smug look on his face," Well I try."

I giggled and grabbed my purse. Wrapping his arms around me, Tom led me out of the house and to the car, opening the door for me. I gave him a smile and climbed into the passenger seat, making sure he didn't close the door on my dress. As we drove to the restaurant, we talked about anything, just passing the time away. Twenty minutes later, we were being seated and asked what we wanted to drink. As the night went on, Tom started to act a little weird, fidgeting and looking around nervously.

"Tom, honey, are you ok?" I asked, worried that something was wrong.

He looked at me like a deer caught in headlights," Yea, I'm fine, what makes you think I'm not ok?"

I giggled," Well for one, you look terrified right now. Honey, what's going on?"

"Nothing, just don't really feel well," he said, giving me a small smile.

"Oh," I said, getting worried again," Well do we need to go because-"

"NO!" He screamed.

I was surprised by his reaction and had jumped a little.

"I mean," he said, looking around again," No, baby it-it's fine. We'll stay."

I was really confused by now, and it must have showed because Tom sighed and looked down at his lap.

"Ok, I really didn't want to do this until after dinner, but," he said, standing up and walking towards me," I really need to ask you something."

"What?" I said while watching him pull something out of his pocket.

Tom got down on one knee, confusing me even more, and began to speak," Abby, this year has been one of the best years of my life. You mean so much to me and I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you. I don't want to waste another minute of our lives together. Abby, will you make me really happy and do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Tears were streaming down my face because I had realized what he was doing half way through his speech. I gasped as he opened the box that held the engagement ring.

"Tom, how did you find this?" I asked, smiling.

He grinned," I was looking in a pawn shop for an antique guitar and saw it in the case. That's when I made the decision to ask you and bought it."

The tears got worse as I sat and looked at my grandmother's engagement ring, the one that was stolen from my hotel room more than a year ago. I couldn't believe that he had found it, it meant so much to me.

"So, Abby, will you marry me?" Tom asked again, getting even more nervous because I hadn't said anything.

I smiled and looked at the love of my life," Of course I will. Tom, I love you so much."

He grinned again and slipped the ring onto my left ring finger. He leaned up and gave me a soft, delicate kiss on the lips. I pulled away as I heard the restaurant being filled with applause and laughed when I realized everyone was cheering for us and Tom blushed slightly. I kissed him again and put my forehead gently against his, just like he did after our very first kiss. I laughed again, experiencing a strange thought.

"What?" Tom laughed.

"Just think, none of this would have ever happened if I hadn't taken that job as Tom Fletcher's slave."
