Landry's POV


I woke up as we went over the bridge in between Georgia and South Carolina. I shook my head I wasn't in Georgia there's no way I need to be in Charlotte! I look at Chase who's focused on the road.


         "I might be wrong but o swear that sign said welcome to North Georgia. But I need to be in Charlotte in like 4 hours." I explained groggily.


          "Well I figured you wouldn't wake up until we made it to the lake but I guess I have to tell you. It was supposed to be a surprise we're going to your lake house until Thursday!" Chase says smiling as we drive into the small town in North Georgia where I grew up. I hate to say it but I miss this hole in the wall. We drive past the car dealership and the Waffle House through the ghost town it's only 4 am so there's not a soul in sight.


          "Y'all are turds I wish you would've told me. Is dad coming or is it just going to be us?" I asked


"Us for a little while. I think your dad is coming tomorrow." He answers pulling of onto a backroad. "There's still like 15 minutes around the backside of the lake you want me to turn on some music?"


        "It sounds good to me. You know my playlist." I smiled and the music started.

By now we have our bathing suits on and we're sitting in the boat house. We grabbed hands and ran and jumped into the water. We came up to the surface at the same time both of us laughed and swam around for a while, then we decided to go get some lunch. I went my room where I'd placed my bag and grabbed some clothes to change into



(Note: Landry doesn't wear makeup)

I then walked back down stairs and sat on the couch waiting on Chase. I pulled up my snapchat and started watching people's stories. Ryan's in his car with Bubba. They're being nerds. I can't help but wonder where they're headed to. I sighed and placed my phone in my lap, soon I heard footsteps from the stairs so I stood up from the couch. Chase walks into the room in a napa tee-shirt and jeans.


      "Way to be discreet Clyde." I laughed.


      "People would've noticed me anyway." He says and shrugs.


      "Yeah your right it's Georgia you pretty much can't throw a rock without hitting someone who watches NASCAR." I say and grab his hand so we can go eat. We walked to his truck and I decided to call my dad.


      "Who are you calling?" Chase questions worried.


      "My dad why so concerned?"


      "I dunno I was just wondering, hey how long has it been since you talked to Mo?"


      "Well I try to talk to her every day but I haven't seen her in like a year. Why?"


      "Just popped in my mind I mean sure you have me, Ryan, and Bubba but I figured it'd be cool for you to see Mo while we're here."


      "William Clyde Elliott your the sweetest man you know that."


      "Ah that's just how I roll." He answered back which in turn I laughed. By this time we'd pulled up to my favorite restaurant in this town which even since I was little I just called Mexican despite the fact there's at least 2 other Mexican restaurants. In my opinion this was by far the best. Everyone here has known my parents since before I was born and during the winter while me and dad were here we came here every Friday night. I quickly unbuckled my seat belt and hopped out of the truck. Somehow even Chase was faster than me though.


"Woah, woah, calm down close your eyes." He says stepping in front of me.


"What why? It's a restaurant not a sup- Chase Elliott if there's a whole bunch of my friends and family in there your so dead. Why don't you tell me things!" I ramble before hugging him.


"Surprise? I didn't tell you because then you would've expected to see everyone. Now shall we?"


We walked in and Manuel (at my sisters request this pronounced Man-Well) showed us to the back where I saw my closest friends and some family. I unfortunately didn't see Mo who I had expected to see.


"LANDRY!!!" I hear and I spin on my heels to fast enough to see a flash of dark blonde hair before I feel someone hug me and I instantly realize it's Mo.


"MO!!!", I yelled back and pulled her off me before continuing with a "You my friend are a turd I was genuinely scared there for a moment I thought you weren't coming." I looked down at my best girl friend.


"Well it wouldn't have been as awesome if I would've just sat at the table like a normal person." Mo explains and she, Chase, and I sit at the table.


"That Mo Anderson is a true statement." I chuckle. Mo's real name is Molly. Considering neither of us are extremely girly and Molly sounds real girly she goes by Mo.


I just can't believe that Chase and I'm also assuming my Dad pulled all this together without me figuring it out. I also figured there was a reason Ryan and Bubba were the car in so many snapchats.


Lunch goes smoothly with stories from my childhood and other crazy things. I had almost forgot about my wrist.

3rd person POV


      The six of them all went to the to of the boat house and sat to hang out for a while. Landry decided some music would be nice so Chase pulled out his phone and walked to the speakers and plugged in his phone. Landry's favorite song came on.


[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]


Chase grabbed Landry's hand and they started dancing. Landry couldn't help but think about how much this song reminds her of the man whose holding her in his arms as the sway to the music. Chase however couldn't calm his heartbeat he was nervous and excited at the same time. "I wanna be the guy you spend your life with" are the last words of the song that played before it suddenly cut off and Chase grabbed Landry's left hand. Her mind instantly flying right to what she thought was going to happen.


       "Landry Mae Sutton, I've loved since I was 16 and you were 15. I never really imagined this day actually coming but here it is. Landry will you do the honor of being my wife?" Chase asks as the 21 year old man stares up at the love of his life.


       "Oh my yes. Yes." Landry mumbles and he grabs the ring from his pocket.

Yep I just did that. Wow. I've been planning it and considering I'm not even 15 yet I think it was pretty great. I'm sorry for any errors I wrote about 1/3 of this at 1 am and I'm sorta scared when I go to publish it tomorrow morning it's going to be crazy. Also as my sister pointed out 
1. Landry's name apparently she thinks could be mistaken for laundry like clothes but no it's not. Hopefully only my 12 year old sister thinks her name is Laundry it's pronounced if you indeed were wondering Land-re
2. Mo's character was just poof dropped in from nowhere. I do apologize but I really only came up with her during this chapter so here she is Mo Anderson.
3. Apparently I ramble on in my book just like I do in real life. (I apologize for that) but what do you expect I'm a awkward 14/15 year old girl (I say / because there's only 7 days until I turn 15 (7-2-17) and there goes the rambling.


I'll leave it there.


Love Abby
