“Brian, it’s not like we won’t ever see each other again.”, she said soothingly. “I know. I know. I am afraid that if I do decide to join, it will come between our relationship.”, he whispered with his head still resting on her back. “Brian, you and I both know we are not going to let that happen.” “I know. It is just a scary thought.”, he said tightening his grip on her. “You know what?”, Haley asked softly. “I have never heard you sing.”, she realized. “Are you asking me to sing to you right now?”, he asked in her ear. “Would you?” “I’d do anything for you.” He cleared his throat and began to sing sweetly. Haley recognized the song and her eyes began to tear up. It was the song they had danced to at the prom. “Right Here Waiting.” When he finished, Haley got off of his lap and sat down in front of him. “You have the voice of an angel. Brian, if you want to be a singer, join that group because no one should be deprived of hearing that voice.”, she said putting her hands on his cheeks and looking him straight in the eyes. “Thank you Haley.”, he said kissing her. “You’re welcome. Just don’t forget me when your big and famous on Mtv.”, she laughed. “How can I forget you when you are going to be right there beside me?” She just smiled letting the tears fall. “You see that promise ring on your finger?” Haley looked at the ring. “That ring means something. I don’t give them to just anybody. I just gave it to someone special. You.” He wiped away her tears. “What did I ever do to deserve you?”, she choked out. “No, what did I do to deserve you?”, he replied. “So, you will truly be happy for me if I join the group?” “If you are happy, I am happy. I want to see your dream come true.” “Well, I guess we better go. I have to call Kevin.” They walked to the car and got in. Brian drove Haley home. “I love you.”, he said. “I love you too.” They shared a passionate kiss goodnight and Haley went inside. He drove home.
