Just The Boy Next Door

~14~

~From the Mind of Andrew Biersack~

Sitting in the church, I truly felt awkward. The congregation welcomed me in opened arms, but I still felt so out of place. Sitting with DJ and her family made things a bit easier, but not by much.

Excusing myself to use the bathroom, I grabbed my phone to text CC.

Andy: Hey man, did you put it in my bag?
CC: What? The little box you asked me to, when you stopped by the other day?
Andy: Yea, dude; is it there?
CC: Yep, and ready to go. Have you decided what it means yet?
Andy: No, not yet, but I will know by the time I am ready to give it to her.

Putting my phone away, I wet my face and made an attempt to relax. I had ordered DJ a ring for Christmas; while gold with small diamonds on the top of it. It was beautiful and petite, like her, and I knew she had to have it.

Truthfully, marrying her would be the greatest adventure of a lifetime; she was my very best friend and my other half. Nothing was nearly as fun as it was when I was with her.

Leaving the bathroom and heading back into the Sanctuary, the mass of people were deep into song; "Oh Come All Ye Faithful," I believe. Looking for the row I had left, I spotted my beautiful girlfriend and smiled.

Looking up at me, he eyes shined. she was in love. It made me ecstatic to know it was with me. I knew it had been a difficult road at first, but things were more than wonderful now. We were wonderful, together.

Watching her and listening to her sing with such passion gave me chill bumps, and seeing the smile on her face put a fuck ton of happiness in my heart and soul. She was the one, but should I wait?

My phone buzzed.

CC: I put it in your slacks pocket; sorry man, I forgot those were your church pants.

I shook my head, realizing he had planned ahead for me.
As the service dragged on, I kept thinking I should wait. Feeling the box, which was indeed in my pocket, I began to get nervous; what if she said no? I mean, it was her right and I didn't want to rush her.

With the pageant finishing up and her pastor coming to the podium for the sermon, we all sat down for the last fifteen minutes of the service and listened. I never listened to religious stuff like that, but that evening was about togetherness and love; family, friends, and new beginnings.

I knew one thing.

I was leaving the church with the one person who lifted me up most and grounded me when I needed to be.

Her.

Notes

Andy has finally come to the conclusion he wants to be with DJ forever... but will he do as he feels?
