Breaking Free (17 page)
“Open.”
When I open them I’m instantly confused. Carter, Nicole, Madison, Christen, Shawn, and Jason are all standing in a line behind Drew. Then they begin to pull poster boards out from behind them.
I laugh and begin to read them. Will. You. Marry. Me. James. ?
My hand instinctively goes to my mouth, and when I look at Drew, he’s down on one knee.
Oh my God.
“Holly James, you have made the past six months the best of my life. I need you here beside me every minute of every day. Until I met you, I had no idea how good my life could be. You brought light into my eternal darkness. You made me see how much one person can make you want to be good, and make you want to better. You do that for me. I want to be the best fucking person I can be when I’m around you because you are the most amazing person I’ve ever known. Will you make me the happiest damn person in the world and marry me?”
“Yes!” I scream and Drew slips the ring onto my finger, and then picks me up and kisses me.
I can’t believe it. After all of these years, I finally got my fairy tale. I finally got my happy ending.
