WILL MORETTI

Moment Three: Birthday

"Happy birthday!" I tried to smile at my Mom.

"Hi, Honey." Mom hugged me and this time I was the one that held on longer.

"I love you, Mom." I murmured before I let her go.

"Oh, I love you too, William." Mom smiled and this time I did manage a small, sad smile. William. After a second I reached into my bag and pulled out her gift.

"Miley picked it out." I mumbled as she opened the box. It was a simple silver necklace with a diamond-trimmed heart-shaped charm on it that had me and my older sisters birthdates on one side and 'Worlds Best Mom' on the other.

"It's beautiful." Mom started to tear up and she hugged me again. "Tell Miley thank-you for choosing it, and thank-you, Will, for delivering it." I swollowed the sudden lump in my throat and nodded mutely, avoiding her eye.

Later that night I was sitting on the couch in the living room, blankly staring at the TV that wasn't even on when the lights switched on and I flinched at the sudden flood of light.

"Okay, Baby Boy, what's wrong?" Mom sat down next me and I sighed. "You've been mopey all day, Will, you can tell me."

"Miley and I broke up." I finally said, feeling myself start to break and Mom gasped. "I didn't want to wait for us to get married, I wanted to marry her now and we got into a fight and she said we're over."

"Why didn't she want to get married now?" Mom asked and it sounded like she was choosing her words carefully.

"She wants her family to be there." I muttered, looking down.

"Well, that's not so bad is it?" I looked up again and saw Mom frowning, I knew she wanted to be there when we got married.

"I wanted us to go to Vegas and get married now and we could have a family gathering later, but Miley didn't want to and then we started fighting and I don't know how it got this far." I turned to my Mom and was grateful that she held me as I finally let myself cry after three days of holding it in. "I love her so much, Mommy, I want her back." I cried and Mom stroked a hand through my hair. "What do I do?"

"Why don't you tell her, Will?" Mom suggested softly and I sniffed.

"She won't answer my calls." I felt like curling up into a little ball and whimpering until I died. "She said she never wants to see me ever again." The thought of never seeing her made my heart thud painfully.

"Come on, get up, Baby Boy." Mom urged, tapping my arm and I slowly sat up to look at her. "Just give her a couple of days to cool off. I've seen how Miley looks at you, Will, she's head over heels in love with you." She assured me and I felt an inkling of hope. "Now get to bed." She commanded, kissing my cheek as she got up and I nodded, getting up with a sigh as well.

Moment Three

"Hi, Mrs Moretti." I froze at the top of the stairs and my heart seized in my chest.

"Miley." Mom sounded surprised. I was surprised too, I didn't think Miley would ever want to have anything to do with me. I still don't know how our fight had gotten so far.

"Is-is Will here?" I peaked around the top of the stairs and saw Miley looking nervous and biting her bottom lip. "I called everywhere I could think of, and my phone ran out of battery, and I know when I'm upset I just wanna be with my Daddy so I thought he might have come to see you, and... Please, Mrs Moretti, is he here?" I don't even know how it turned into a fight, I'd just had a spur-of-the-moment urge to marry Miley right there and then, to call her mine as soon as possible. And... I don't know what happened, but the next thing I know she said we were over.

"What happened?" Mom asked, a sort of currious, but a little apprehensive look on her face.

"I made the biggest mistake of my life." Miley shook her head and they moved out of my line of sight, our of my hearing range, out to sit on the swing chair. I slowly and carefully snuck down the stairs to hear. "I swear I didn't mean to hurt him, I don't even know how I let it get this far. I should have just agreed to go to Vegas." Miley shook her head with a sigh. "I was just so stupid, he just wanted us to be married, and I was stupid, we could have had a family ceremony later, but I was so so so stupid, and I love him, Mrs Moretti. I love Will so much and I can't lose him because he means the entire world to me." I stepped out from behind the doorway and as soon as Miley saw me I stumbled back. "I love you, Will, I'm sorry I said we were over. I love you so much, please forgive me?" Miley was crying and I held her and she rambled until she finally stopped.

"I love you, Miley." I whispered into her hair.

"I want to marry you, Will, now, yesterday, tomorrow and forever. I love you." I brushed Miley's tears away and kissed her hair when she finally pulled away enough for me to see her.

"I love you." I repeated and over Miley's head I saw Mom smile and nod at me. She pointed at Miley, then to her heart, then at me and I nodded. I sighed and closed my eyes for a second before I looked at Mom and mouthed 'thank-you'.

It was Mom's birthday, but she's the one that gave me the best gift, she gave me my fiance back.

Moment three was actually completely different in my head; it was supposed to be Will's graduation from college, or Will and Miley getting married, and then this happened...
