Nate's POV
I woke up and felt beside me. Empty. Curious, I got out of bed and searched for Caitlyn.
I halted when I heard a soft melody coming from our music room. I walked up to the slightly ajar door and watched Caitlyn play 'Your Song' by Elton John on the piano whilst singing softly.
I opened the door and sat beside her, taking over the piano part.
"And you can tell everybody..., this is your song. It might be quite simple, but now that it's done..." she suddenly stopped and stood up before leaving.
I followed her, pulling her arm back just as she reached our room. "Hey... What's wrong?" I asked softly as to not wake up Ruby since it was 4 AM in the morning.
"What if I never remember us?" Caitlyn asked, her tears slipping down her cheeks. I brought a hand up to wipe them away. "I'm sorry, Nate... But I'm not your Caitlyn."
"You are... You just need time. Look, you're doing so well, you've remembered so many things and you're up to twenty so that's five more years to go." I whispered, kissing her head.
"Out of eight. Of which we got married, starting sleeping together..." she trailed off, sighing. "I don't even remember getting married. How can you live like this? Having eight years of perfect bliss whereas I can't recall more than half." she was crying now.
"You're right." I said, shocking her. "How can I live like this? Knowing that you don't remember everything and it hurts so much? Well, I can live like this because I know you, Caitlyn. Better than yourself and when I say that you will remember everything... trust me. Have I ever let you down before?" She shook her head. "Exactly, so stop being so negative and help me choose a outfit to wear for the KCAs. I'm hosting."
She smiled and took my hand, leading me into our bedroom.
...
I stole one of Ruby's toasts as she hit me. "Sorry, gotta eat. I have to get to the arena early." I mumbled, eating.
"Ew, don't talk with your mouth full!" Ruby grimaced. "And sure. Is Caitlyn following you?"
"No... She said that she wasn't ready for that. Uncle Brown managed to keep the paps away for now but as soon as she steps out onto that orange carpet, it's going to be hell for her." I said.
"True. What do the world know?" Ruby asked, biting into her toast.
"Just that Caitlyn's had a serious head injury and that we're more than okay; she's forgiven me for my mistakes."
"Does she know?"
"No. I won't tell her until she remembers, otherwise she'll flip out and who knows what else she would believe." I replied. "Now, I really must go." I kissed my cousin by the side of her head as she sighed. "Hey, what's up?"
"I'm permanently staying in America. Mum and Dad... I really don't want to live with either of them. Especially Mum. Dad's okay but he's moving between Canada and England because of Camp Rock and Dee."
"I have a spare ten minutes. Let's talk." I said, sitting beside her on the counter island.
"Can I live here? With you and Caitlyn? I promise I won't be a problem, I swear. I'll even get Dad to buy me an apartment."
"You know what? I'm old enough to be your legal guardian, right?" I asked as she nodded. "You're sixteen years old you can decide what you want."
Ruby hugged me tightly as she sniffled. "Thanks." she said watery. "I'm just so fed up... Go, you're going to be late."
I sighed as she stepped back, wiping her eyes. "You'll be alright?"
She nodded and pushed me out the door, handing me my keys. "Go!" she ordered.
I chuckled and left.
...
Caitlyn's POV
Mitchie came over, asking me for outfit ideas since she was running a bit late. I chuckled as I finally pieced together her outfit.
"There. You look great, Mitch." I grinned, taking a selfie with her.
"Thanks. You should come." she said, putting her shoes on.
I turned around and sighed, leaning against the wall. "Do you think I'm ready?"
"That's not me to decide. That's you." Mitchie smiled, pulling me into her and wrapping her arms around my shoulders. "But personally, I think you're ready."
I grinned and walked into the closet, choosing a black jumpsuit and black platform sandals.
"How about this?" I asked, holding the items up.
"Gorgeous. Drop dead gorgeous!" Mitchie squealed, calling Ruby to help.
After I was dressed, Mitchie's limo arrived and we entered, leaving for the event.
"What do I do if I get interviewed?" I asked.
"Tell them that you and Nate are cool and that you're engaged." Mitchie said, touching up her lipstick.
"Cool about what?"
"Head injury. Amnesia." Mitchie said quickly. Probably to get her lipstick done quickly. I shrugged.
"Sure. Why can't I tell them we're married?" I asked.
"You're not 'officially' married in the public's eyes. Plus, you want everyone to know about your dream fairytale wedding!" Mitchie squealed. I giggled and nodded.
"I think I can wing it." I smirked.
When we got there, Mitchie got out first to 'soften the ball' a bit.
Once I got out, all the fans were screaming and the reporters and paparazzi went crazy. I smiled and followed Mitchie and other celebrities down the red carpet.
"Hey, Caitlyn! Over here!" Someone from Hot Tunes called me. I smiled fakely and stood beside her, signing autographs and arms and phones.
"Hi!" I finally said to the reporter.
"Caitlyn, great to see you back on your feet! Your label said it was a serious head injury and that you'll be off for a few months."
"Yeah, I just came to support my... my fiancé." I grinned, showing her my new rock.
"Oh my God! Did you just hear that?! Nate proposed to Caitlyn Gellar! Nate Gray and Caitlyn Gellar are getting married! It's way long overdue!" she said, making the fans scream in delight as I giggled.
"He's hosting and I thought, why not? No performing or anything just sitting down and enjoying the best show ever." I said.
"So... Sorry to bring this up but what are your thoughts again on Nate-"
"Caitlyn!" Mitchie grinned, hugging me. "Missed you." she pouted.
"Here's Mitchie Torres, guys!" The reporter grinned, her eyes showing disappointment.
"Hi, I need to steal my bestie. Her guy is looking for her!" Mitchie said, giggling as she dragged me away to cheers. "Nate's looking for you. I found him and told him that I convinced you to come."
"Cool! Maybe I can sneak a kiss for the fans."
We found Nate already presenting with his co-host and I sneaked up behind him, turned him around and pecked his lips.
"And here's my beautiful fiancée!" he chuckled, kissing my cheek as his co-host, Rydell giggled at us.
I winked at the camera and went back to signing autographs with Mitchie.
Thanks for reading!
