-Janel's POV-
"Early call time. See you later. I have a surprise for you. Love lots. -Brant"
I placed the note back on the counter and gathered up all my things. Sasha and I are going to shop for the whole day. Not so long ago the girls and I used to do this together but since Troian started to make her own family and Lucy got married and Shay and Ashley were still catching up with the lost time, it was only me and Sasha left. I was starting to think what would happen to Sasha when Brant and I finally tie the knot I mean we're not doing it soon but we have it planned. I hear the door opening and Sasha came in walking confidently.
"I'm getting old here Jan" Sasha says childishly
"Yeah yeah I'm done. Let's go." We linked our arms together and walked out of the door and we're met by a middle aged man.
"Ms. Parrish?" the middle aged man inquired
"Yes it's me. How may I help you?" I answered doubtfully.
"I was sent to drive you around" He said and opened the car door for us. I immediately assumed that it was Brant's surprise. Oh my God I'm so lucky.
"Did you really call for a driver?" Sasha whispered to my ear when we got in.
"It's Brant. He left a note saying he has a surprise for me" I whispered back.
"Oh my God is he going to propose?" Sasha almost squealed. I instinctively covered her mouth with my hand and we both giggled. I was hopeful that he is but I didn't want to assume much more I'm worried that if I settle down and start my own family Sasha would be left alone. I was the only sister left to take care of her since the other girls are on with their lives.
I was about to text Brant when a new message arrived. It was from Brant and I opened it excitedly.
"I was going to drive you for shopping and surprise you for lunch but got caught up here at set. Dinner? -Brant" I brows met upon reading. I looked at Sasha and she looked at me then read the message. As if on cue two black hoodied guys with masks on went inside Sasha and my sides.
"What the hell?" I yelled in surprise. I saw the driver on the front seat smirked devilishly.
"Get their phones and put their blindfolds on….Welcome aboard Ms. Vanderwaal and Ms. DiLaurentis" The driver announced and eyed on us on the rear mirror.
"You're delusional. Our roles have ended 2 years ago. What's with the freak show?" Sasha snapped at them with her trademark tone.
"It's not just a show. You can leave Rosewood but Rosewood will never leave you." The driver replied and concentrated on driving. I've never felt so terrified in my life. We're being held captive by some lunatics and we've got no one to ask for help.
-Sasha's POV-
The car had finally stopped to where its destination was. It had been the longest car ride of my life and not to mention the freakiest. Janel and I were in tears and who wouldn't be?
"Mona and Ali, you both like games do you? Well how would you like to play now?" Some distorted, robotic voice said.
"How many times do I have to tell you I'm crazy mona?" Janel screamed furiously.
"Depends on what game. Ali likes to take lead" If these lunatics wants to play around then I'm so on. I turn myself to Alison mode. I swear to God I will do anything to get out of this stupidity.
"Sash what are you doing?" Janel asked me confused
"Just play along" I tell her with an attitude.
"Well then let the games begin" Janel transformed herself to Mona mode too.
"You may take your blindfolds off ladies." The voice said and we did as what we were told. "Remember this?" Our eyes adjusted to the light of the surroundings and our attentions were caught by the montage playing on the projector. The mean scenes of Mona and Ali showed up. These lunatics have definitely lost their sanity. I roll my eyes at it and I could almost see Janel doing the same. Just then different scenes started playing; some of it was parts of the show and some were our videos behind the scenes doing crazy nothings. I knew there's something funny going on! Janel and I were on tears watching our memories playing on screen.
"I miss this…all of it" Janel says with her voice breaking as she wipes the tears on her face.
"Me too" I wipe the tears on my face too.
To our surprise the PLL casts suddenly appears serenading us.
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lucy and Ian were the first to approach us and gave Janel and me half dozen of flowers each.
Lean on me
when you're not strong
and I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
for it won't be long
'till I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
Troian, Keegan and Tyler were the next ones to do the same.
Please swallow your pride
if I have things
you need to borrow
for no one can fill
those of your needs
that you wont let show
Shay and Ashley followed after giving us envelops instead. Before they went back to the rest of the group they pulled us in for quick hugs.
So just call on me brother
when you need a hand
we all need somebody to lean on!
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
we all need somebody to lean on!
Our make ups have drowned in our tears but it didn't matter. The fear I had just moments ago vanished when I saw the montage. What did I do to feel this special?
-Janel's POV-
My tears were unstoppable as of the moment. I was completely taken by surprise with what the gang did. This is just perfect as it is but it's missing out something or someone rather. Brant. Where are you in this time of my life? Out of the blue a familiar voice sang imperfectly.
Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted in my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Brant's song was cut short with his own tears. It was the first time I saw him cry out of unknown reasons. I approached him and wiped the tears away from his face. He smiles in the middle of his tears and continues his song. In all honesty Brant's a superb dancer but his singing voice had never been the best but he struggles to do everything with his will power.
Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love has finally showed her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Promise me you'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to sing to you
When all the music dies
And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
Marry me
He finally finishes his song proudly. His tears had never left his face and I was beside him to wipe it away. He grabs something from his pocket and unfolds the paper.
"First of all sorry for my incompetent voice I hope it wasn't that bad. Second, I don't need some cliché words to say or hollow promises to make. I'll say this direct to the point, I love you Janel Meilani Parrish." He says the last line confidently.
"Awww. I love you too Brant David Daugherty" to add to today's surprises he bends down on one knee
"Will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?" My jaw dropped to the floor and I covered my mouth my hand. .God! I was freaking out internally and the only answer I gave him was an endless nod. He stood up and gave me a lingering kiss.
"The girls had all these planned for you and Sasha so I asked them if I could insert my plan to propose and they gladly helped" Brant explained after the kiss ended.
"You guys traumatized me and Sasha but thank you so much" I said lightly punching Brant on the arm.
"I'll never ride on rentals that was just sent by someone to pick me up. I'll make sure to drive by myself" Sasha said jokingly causing everyone to laugh.
"You girls deserve it. Not the trauma part but this actually you deserve more" Troian speaks up.
"Yeah. We kind of lost in touch with the both of you." Lucy added.
"Open the envelop. Come on. Open it up" Ashley said excitedly like a child
"Geez Ash take a chill pill" Sasha said giggling and we both opened the envelop they gave us. Inside was a card with a note written in big bold font.
"Congratulations bitches! Girl's day out coming right up"
Taped on the other side of the card were gift certificates of a high end massage shop, salon and something not familiar to either me or Sasha.
"What's this for?" I asked them waving the unfamiliar GC.
"That is a gift certificate you could use anytime of the year that would give you 100% discount for our time and mind you it's for unlimited use" Shay answers cleverly
"That way you could run to us when you want us even if we won't want you" Ashley says but was nudged by Shay right after.
"Thank you guys" Sasha and I say alternately and we went to the girls for a hug. Even at one point I saw Sasha and Shay clinging to each other and this time Ashley didn't have a watchful eye at them. She was just happy to make Sasha and me happy. Once we girls have finished our long ceremonial hugs the guys joined us for a big group hug. These people right here is the biggest blessing ever.
Sorry for the short break. So this chapter doesn't involve Shayley directly. Just a little breather from the story. I'm kind of low on how to put my ideas into words. I need your suggestions :) Shay and Ashley would have the baby talk on the next chap. Drop a review please :)))
