Fix Me: Sequel
2015
March
"C'mon Beck, Tyler will kill us if we don't upload a video by today!" She yells, and I get out of our room, holding Turtle our small Jack Russell, and make my way to sit in front of the camera. She glances at me, as I try to sort out my thoughts, I can't be nervous right now, it just doesn't make any sense.
"Ok, I'm good" I tell her, and she takes out a small mirror from her pocket, and looks at her reflection, the same way she always does before filming. My heart is racing fast, and I'm sure if my palms sweat, they would be sweating right now, because even though I keep telling myself it's dumb to feel nervous, my body is reacting otherwise. "What are we going to film again?" I ask, trying to pretend that I didn't plan all of this... Now it just has to go the way I want it to.
"The boyfriend/girlfriend tag" she says, picking up a sheet of paper from our new, actual wooden table. She turns on the camera, we introduce ourselves as she starts to explain what we're gonna be doing, and I slip my hand inside my pocket, checking to see if it's still there... I mean, of course it has to be, a small box can't just disappear by itself. I can't believe I'm this nervous about it. "Ok, question number one, when and how did we first meet?"
I smile at her, and she does the same. This should turn out amazing... "We met in high school, on our senior year" I say to the camera, still holding the box inside my pocket, and Turtle jumps back down at the floor, running around for no apparent reason.
"We first talked when our teacher paired us to do a project" she says, looking down with a slight smile on her face "oh and I know that watches our videos, hey Sikowitz!" she waves at the camera with a soft smile on her face, and I do too. Then I shake my head and turn back at the camera, it feels like the time I should be speaking and actually interacting with the camera I'm just observing her, and it's getting too obvious.
"Thank you, by the way" I tell him. He's pretty popular for his comments, always ending up being on the top because he's just crazy; He always manages to relate the things we do to coconut juice, I guess he's just becoming even weirder over the years. And I used to think that it wasn't possible. "Alright question number two, who said I love you first?" She bites her bottom lip, looking up at me as if she was trying to say 'don't say too much'. The story is pretty great... only it's not something we would like to share to the world. "I did"
"Yep... You did" She smiles shyly while I check the box again. She keeps saying something I don't pay attention to, until she begins to talk about the third question. "Ok, what do we... tell people we are?" she frowns, looking at me and reading it again. "what does that even mean?"
"I think it's asking what we say we are, when we introduce ourselves" I hope she follows my lead, because this is just a great moment do it... I'm actually doing it...
"Like I say you're my boyfriend, and you say I'm your girlfriend?"
Now, perfect moment. "I guess... But I'm kinda tired of calling you my girlfriend"
She looks at me with suspicion, and as always, I can tell she's thinking about the worse. In this case it's good a thing, because now I'm sure she has absolutely no idea. "...what do you mean?" Her voice is low, and she still has half a smile of her face, trying to figure out weather or not I'm being serious.
"What I mean, is that I think girlfriend isn't a good label for you" I run my fingers over the box and take a deep breath "I'd much rather call you my fiancé"
My heart's racing a thousand miles per hour, I check the small box again as her chin drops. her eyes widen. And I can't stop the smile on my face "...what...".
I take out the small box, and open it revealing the small ring, which was actually the one with the biggest rock I could afford... But the rock is so small I don't think you can even call it a rock. "will you marry me?"
She keeps still, doesn't say a word, doesn't move... Is she breathing? Oh fuck, it was too soon and she's going to say no and... she's crying? What does this mean... she's nodding her head? Oh, she nodding her head! I put the ring on her shaky finger, as she rests her head on my chest and keeps crying for a few seconds, and looks up at me... with a smile, thank god.
"I love you" she says, still crying, before I kiss her, and turn off the camera.
Tori's POV
"Did you upload the video?" I ask him putting down my cellphone after twenty minutes of talking to Mary Alice. She and Andre moved to New York, so it had to be over the phone, and I swear she let out such a high pitch scream when I told her what had just happened, that I might be partially deaf. She and Andre are also engaged, they have been engaged for almost five months, she wants to wait until June, to have the perfect wedding. If it was up to just me, I'd marry Beck right now, without a party or family members just me and him, that's all I need.
"It's officially up, let's see what they think of this very unusual boyfriend/girlfriend tag" I walk over to him, that's standing in front of his laptop wearing only his boxers, and place a brief kiss on his shoulders, wrapping my arms around his back and pressing myself against him.
"I feel so grown up" I say quietly, putting my arm down, and I staring at my hand, where I now have a ring on it. I can't believe I'm actually engaged, to Beck... I feel like I should begin to cry all over again. He takes a step away from me before grabbing me by my waste and turning me around. He pushes some hair away from my face and I kiss him again, stepping on my toes before he lifts me up and puts me over the table.
"I know right? When did this happen?" He says, half smiling before he kisses my cheek and comes back with a more serious expression. "Why did you cry so much?" I run my fingers through his hair pushing it all to one side and kissing his bare neck. A while ago we were doing a questions and answers video, and a this random guy asked him if he ever planned to cut his hair, and Beck said that as he got older he'd probably outgrew it... I really hope that never happens.
His hand runs down on my waste, and he kisses me again, before pulling away waiting for an answer. I look away, and he holds both my hands, intertwining our fingers. "It's just... For the longest time, all I could focus on was that I would never actually be with you" I sigh, breaking one of our hands apart and bringing it to his upper chest "It always felt like it was impossible for us to make it but now..." I take a deep breath, I don't want to start crying again even if they are happy tears. "I'm just so damn happy Beck"
"We had to be, someday, right?" I nod my head getting closer to his, brushing our noses before I pull him down, laying down at the table. The phone rings, we let it go straight to voicemail.
"I KNOW YOU TWO ARE PROBABLY VERY BUSY BUT WE HAVE VIEWS LOTS OF THEM! TEN MILLION OF THEM, IN THE VIDEO OF YOU GUYS GETTING EGAGED! TEN FREAKING AMAZING MILLION!" We hear someone telling Tyler to quit screaming, which makes him scream even louder "OH... AND CONGRATS BY THE WAY!" He hangs up, and I don't know why, but I start to laugh and Beck joins me, and we're just laughing, like we have no worries.
I still have to pay the bills, I still have to go to take my pills twice a day and the world is just as a horrible, messed up place as it always was, but not today. Today I can only think about the stars, and how great everything turned out, and most of all, how I'm finally sure, that everything will be okay.
A/N: I'm back! I missed this story, so much! You guys have no idea I kept thinking of it and things that I they could go through and stuff and... I decided to bring it back! I hope you still want it? And if you do please review, let me know if I should uptade again. Love,
- Kiribati
