(Take a guess whose POV is this)

UNKNOWN POV

5 years later

Nervous was an understatement.

I was sweating like a fucking pig.

I hope she says yes.

I mean I'm bloody hell confident in our relationship.

But I have fucked up a lot of times.

I have hurt her countless number of times.

But I have finally realised that she's the one.

Always was and always will be.

Today was the day I was going to propose to her.

She was right there in the room next to mine.

Our whole group was here.

The guys tried to hype me up but deep down I was a nervous wreck.

I don't want to fuck up this moment.

I took a deep breath in order to calm down my racing heart.

I dug my hands in my pocket and pulled out the small box.

I opened it and there it was.

A diamond ring.

I specifically made this ring for her.

Because an unique girl like her deserves something unique.

A hand on my shoulder brought me out of my trance.

"You good bro?" PJ asked.

I sighed and said "Fuck no. I'm a mess bro"

PJ gave me a sympathetic smile.

"It's gonna go great bro. You've both gone through hell together. So don't take a toll on yourself. She will say yes." He tried to assure me.

I nodded.

"I hope so too." I said.

Damn I'm nervous.

I know she deserves better than me.

I know how unique she is.

And I promise to never hurt her feelings.

I will cherish her and love her for the rest of my life.

Fuck.

After seventeen whole years of knowing this girl I will finally make her mine.

I just want to make her mine.

Forever.

I redeemed myself and accepted all my mistakes I had made and corrected them.

She always stood by my side.

Even when we used to fight, I always knew that she won't give up on me.

Even though there were times when I really doubted that but now after everything we've been through I know that she's my only fate.

We were destined to be together and that's what I am going to do right now.

Propose to her and make her mine forever.

I double checked my attire.

I was wearing a normal plaid shirt with dark brown trousers.

My hands started to get sweaty and I could feel my heart beating so loud that I'm sure people will be able to hear it.

I was looking around the room till I found her.

She's gorgeous.

No. She's breathtaking.

She's all I ever wanted. She's everything for me.

She looks beyond gorgeous in that red body hugging dress of hers which is clinging onto her body like a second layer of skin.

I took a slow and deep breath.

I regained myself and headed towards her.

I tapped on her shoulder.

She looked back and I literally felt my heart melt at that sight of hers.

"Hey baby, what's up?" She said in that angelic voice of hers.

"Uh c-can I talk to you for a second?" I asked nervously scratching the back of my neck.

She giggled and nodded.

I took her to the centre of the room so that everyone sees it.

They all already knew that I was going to propose to her.

"So what do you want to talk about?" She asked.

Here goes nothing.

"Baby, we met seventeen years ago when you moved next door to me with your parents. And when I saw you I knew we were going to be best friends. And as time passed by my feelings for you grew stronger and stronger. We both had our first kiss with each other when we were 9."

I paused and chuckled to myself.

Oh god I miss those days.

I continued "But then things started to change and I let my jealousy consume our pure friendship and it caused us to drift apart. I know I hurted you countless number of times. I know me fooling around with other girls hurt you a lot. But I promise you that only you have my heart and no one else. Even after that we had to cross a lot of obstacles but you remained by my side."

"You never left me. That's the thing I have always loved the most about you. That no matter how bad I hurt you, you never stopped loving me. You always loved and healed in a way only you could have done. I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past. But you know that I'm a changed man now and I will still keep proving it to you that I'm not the same guy who treated you so badly in highschool."

"I will love you through your worse days, I will cherish your presence every single day, I will always thank god to give me such a fierce and a strong woman."

"So Bethany Stewart Adams, will you marry me?" I finally asked.

It was then I looked up at her.

I was on my knees with the ring on my hand.

I looked up at her and saw that she was a crying mess.

"Baby, you have to give me an answer." I said.

I was getting nervous now.

What if she rejects my proposal?

No this can't be.

She sniffled and I looked back up at her.

"Yes." She said.

"Huh?" I asked like the dumb person I am.

She chuckled and said "Yes Zayn, I will marry you."

My level of happiness just crossed it's scale and I quickly put the ring on her finger and lift her up and spun her around.

Then I finally put her down and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

She's mine. Finally.

"Hey guys, she said yes!" I said happily to our group who were just looking at us with awe.

Finally. Our group reunites and we all get our happily ever afters.

I look around the room.

Sean and Arnold talking to each other like some teenage girls.

Lily and PJ acting like the goof balls they are.

Xavier was obviously clinging onto Jackie like she was his lifeline.

In a way she was though.

And even they got engaged like two months ago.

I smiled to myself.

So much has happened but I never expected to get friends like them out of it.

And lastly I looked at Bethany who was in my arms.

She is my everything. I swear to never hurt her ever again.

I kissed her temple and pulled her closer to me.

She looked up at me and said "I love you Zee"

I chuckled.

"I love you more Beth."

Now let's go and make some babies.
