Josh and I have been in that coat closet for about 10 minutes. People are going to start getting suspicious. I pulled away from our calm make out and looked at Josh.

"People are going to start to think we ran off." I told him

He gave me one more very passionate kiss. It melted into his arms and kissed him back. Then he pulled away and I was happy able to hold myself up a little. However, Josh still had his hands on my waist so there was some support.

"Ok, then let's go back." He smiled and grabbed my hand before we left the coat closet. There was no one in the foyer so we where relived. We quickly walked back through the doors that we left through and entered the room. I saw Mrs. Hollis on stage with a microphone.

"He's doing it now." I whispered to Josh once we where back in the room.

"Who?" He leaned to the side a bit to ask me.

"Dash, he's proposing now." I whispered back.

"Now it seems that Dash McCafferty would like to make an announcement." Mrs. Hollis smiled and handed the microphone over to Dash.

"Thank you Mrs. Hollis. I am about to do something, well say, maybe plead. What ever, what I am about to do is a big part of life. It determines how you are going to live it from here on out. It declares whom you really love. Would Noelle Lange please come on stage?" He asked. Gasps filled the air.

"Come on." I whispered and pulled Josh over to the middle of the crowd where our friends where.

"Noelle, you are my girlfriend, my best friend and an amazing girl. I love you so much." Then Dash got on one knee. So many people gasped. "Noelle, will you marry me?"

I swear, swear I saw tears fill her eyes. She was in shock.

"Yes!" She shouted. Then Dash was up and put the ring on Noelle's finger. I could see the thing shining from here. She kissed him and then they hugged. Everyone was cheering and clapping. Noelle looked at me in the crowd and mouthed a thank you. I smiled and mouthed back you're welcome.

"That's so sweet!" Tiffany awed.

"I know! I didn't even see it coming!" Vienna smiled.

I just smiled and looked at Josh. "Wasn't that sweet?"

Josh smiled and wrapped him arms around my waist. We where so close that I had to bring my head back to look in his eyes. "Yes it was." He gave me a peck on the lips. The music started up again and people started to dance. Josh smiled, "Would you like to dance with me my love?" He smiled and offered his hand. I smiled and said,

"Why yes I would love to." I smiled and took his hand. Our held hands clasped and out about shoulder height. I put my left arm around Josh's shoulder and he placed his hand on my waist. We rocked back and forth to the beat. I smiled.

"We've never danced before."

"I know it's horrible." Josh chuckled.

"It's nice." I told him calmly smiling. The only guy I have ever danced with was my first boyfriend and Thomas. I shook him out of my thoughts and went back to Josh. The only gap between us was our faces. Josh leaned in and whispered in my ear.

"I love you Reed." I looked up at him and smiled.

"I love you too." Then I we continued to dance, staring into each other's eyes. Not wanting to let go of each other.

It was about an hour later when I finally saw Noelle again. She walked up to me and tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw her. She had her left hand up so the tops of all five fingers where showing. Moreover, on the forth finger from the thumb, was that diamond rock.

"Ah!" I gasped. "That is beautiful." I told her.

"I know! That was the sweetest thing, having him propose on stage. I loved it Reed thanks!" She gushed.

"Actually it was Dash's idea." I told her pointing to him.

"Really?"

"Yeah, it was me." He blushed and put his hands in his pockets.

"I loved it!" Then she kissed him on the lips and that turned into a big make out session. I cleared my throat and Noelle pulled back. "Well, I just wanted to thank you. But looks like I don't need to now." She smiled.

"Yeah." I gave her a closed smile.

"Well have fun; I'll come get you when I'm leaving." Then she was gone.

I scanned the room trying to find Josh. It was time to eat and I wanted to make sure I was going to be sitting next to him. I finally saw him laughing at something Trey was talking about. His head tipped back and his smile was big. I started walking over to him. Feeling a pull that was trying to get me to start running. I just walked though instead. When I finally got closer to him, he saw me and smiled. I could read his lips say,

"There's my girl." And he smiled after. I walked up to him where I could now hear him. Finally, I was by his side and he gave me a peck on the cheek. I smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Hey Reed! Have you seen Astrid?" Trey asked once our kiss ended.

"Hey, and ya I was just talking to her over there." I said. Pointing to the direction, I came from.

"Ok, thanks! I'll talk to you guys later." Trey smiled and then was gone.

"Hey, we're going to be eating in a few minutes. Do you want to go take our seats?" Josh asked.

"That's why I came over here." I smiled and we held hands and walked off to the dinning room.

The dining room was just as beautiful as the ballroom. It was the same colors as the ones in the ballroom, gold and white. There was a bunch of oval tables scattered evenly around the room. There where name cards on each seat. Josh took my hand and led me to a table on the center left side. Our names where on cards right next to each other.

"How did you know we where sitting here?" I laughed.

"Because, I helped my mom arrange the seating chart. And made sure we where sitting next to each other." Josh smiled and squeezed my hand.

"Thanks!" I smiled and kissed him. I saw that Trey was sitting next to Josh, and next to him was Astrid. Next to me was Constance, then Whit.

"So is this everyone we go to school with?" I asked him.

"Yeah, and my family is eating over there, but I begged them if me and you could sit over here." He told me pointing to the top table in the middle.

"Oh, we could have sat over there." I told him, turning so our bodies where facing.

"Yeah, but I knew that you would want sit with our friends. So I moved us." He smiled.

"I don't care where I sit, as long as it's next to you." I told him.

"I feel the same way." He said and put his forehead on mine. He kissed me and we waited there talking, laughing, flirting, holding hands, and kissing. We did all of that until people started to flood in.

OMGOMG!

I'm so freaked and shocked!

First off, I'm sorry it wasn't a very long chapter. I just read the first chapter of Paradise Lost and I was so excited to write more. That leads us to the second thing.

We where wrong, and we where right. But I think there was only one, yea ONE fan fiction that was exactly like the first chapter of Paradise Lost. Exactly. But we where all wrong and off track, and then we where right. The part we're right about is really all we wanted to happen! Trust me! If you haven't read the first chapter yet, go read it on Private's website. !! Tell me what you guys think. It was breath taking.

And in the beginning I cried because I thought someone was hurt who wasn't, man I almost bawled my eyes out. review please~

peace out from a big private series lover,

Lauren

AH!!!! :D
