STEPHANIE'S POV------

Andy and I started walking. Well, more like Andy was pulling me.

"Andy!! Slow down!!" I complained.

"Fine" Andy said.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see." Andy said smiling. I just smiled back and went with it.

We arrived at a food truck in front of the park. We ordered our food and went to sit on a park bench. For eight o'clock at night, the park was pretty full. Once we threw away everything we didn't or couldn't eat, we sat back down. I rested my head on Andy's shoulder. His arm was wrapped around me tightly. I just smiled.

"Steph..." Andy said quietly.

"Yes Andy?" I said matching his quietness.

"I love you. More than I could ever scream." Andy said pulling me closer. I felt butterflies in my stomach as he said that.

"I love you too!!" I yelled. Everyone who was in hearing distance, which was pretty much everyone, watched me as I tackled Andy in a kiss. They started clapping for some reason, but I didn't care. I took Andy's hand and we walked through the park until I started feeling really tired.

"Andy, I'm tired." I said.

"Alright. We'll head back babe."Andy said smiling. He picked me up bridal style and I fell asleep.

ANDY'S POV-------

I picked Steph up bridal style and she fell asleep in my arms. I smiled looking at how beautiful and peaceful she was asleep. Then I thought about her mother. How long has it been since she talked to her. I'd ask her tomorrow. I just continued walking back to the bus. Once I got there, I noticed that I couldn't open the door, so I kicked it a couple times before Ash opened it. I walked inside and gently placed Steph on her bunk and crawled in next to her. I wrapped my arms around her and fell asleep.

The next day I woke up and Stephanie was nowhere to be seen from her bunk. I got up and went to the kitchen and found her eating some eggs and bacon. I sat down across from her and took a piece of her bacon.

"Hey Steph, when was the last time you talked to your mom?" I asked. Her eyes widened.

"Holy shit. Um I have no fucking idea." she said, and she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. She put the phone to her ear.

"Hey mom. Sorry it's been so long since I've called you."
. . . . .
"Yeah everything is going great.What about you?"
. . . . .
"What? I have to go."

She hung up the phone and looked at me. She looked like she was going to punch someone. She didn't do that though. She started to cry. I went around the table and picked her up, walking to the couch. I set her down gently. The guys and Sammi started to wake up to her crying.

"Stephie what's wrong?" I asked. Everyone was crowded in the little area and they watched.

"My dad..." she trailed off crying more.

"What about your dad babe?" I asked.

"He...he killed himself.." she said before breaking down completely. When she said that, everyone gasped. I pulled her close and rubbed her back.

"It'll be okay babe. You'll get through this. I'll help you." I said.

"Thank you Andy. I love you." she said.

"I love you too." I said, and Sammi awed. Stephanie had calmed down a bit.

"I need to go see my mom." She said. I totally understood.

"Okay. We can rent a car and drive back to Ohio. I don't care how long it takes or how many shows I miss. I just want to make you feel better. I can't stand it when you cry." I said pulling her up and taking her to get bags. I handed her a clothes bag and she packed one night's worth of clothes and her makeup. I did the same, except I didn't pack any makeup. We got a car and we drove. Stephanie was holding my hand and looking out the window. When we were stopped, I couldn't help but stare at her left hand. I felt something was missing. Something that I knew we both wanted. Then I looked at my left hand. Yes. Something was definitely missing, and I knew what I was going to do.

We arrived eventually at her mom's house. Stephanie was asleep, so I woke her up. Her mom wasn't expecting us. I knocked and seconds later, the door opened.

"Oh hello you guys." her mom said. It looked like she had been crying. I looked at Stephanie and noticed that she was crying. I grabbed her hand and we were led inside. I sat down on a chair I was offered. Stephanie just stood. She had stopped crying.

"When?" Stephanie asked.

"Two days ago." her mom replied. I didn't know what to do. I just sat there in silence. I was thinking about earlier in the car when I was looking at our hands, and I rushed outside. Stephanie had followed me.

"No. Stay here. There's something I need to do." I said. Stephanie went back inside and I got in the car. I drove to the nearest shop. I bought the best one I could afford. I headed back to the house and rushed inside. Stephanie was giving her mom a hug. They pulled away when I entered. Stephanie rushed over to me and gave me a hug. Then I did it.

I got on one knee. I pulled out the ring. Then I said those words every woman wants to hear:
"Stephanie, will you marry me?"

She smiled. "Yes!!!" She pulled me into a kiss. I pulled away to put the ring on her finger. Then we kissed again. We pulled away again. I looked at her mom. She was crying.

"Well, that was sudden. Come here future son in law. You too Stephanie." she said.

We walked over to her and we all hugged. Today was the best day in my life.

"I think that's what I needed to see to get over Mark's death. Thank you Andy." she said.

I smiled. "Come on Andy. Let's get back to the guys and Sammi and tell them the good news." Stephanie said.

We said our goodbyes and we left. I opened the car door for Stephanie and then got in myself. I started the car. I grabbed her hand and we were off. We got back to the venue the bus was parked behind. We had to walk there, but we didn't care. We arrived at the bus and walked in. I guess we both had smiles a mile wide, so we were asked what was up.

"Look." I said showing them the ring on Stephanie's hand.

"No way." Ashley said.

"Oh yes way." I said.

"You guys are officially engaged!!!!" Sammi squealed. Jinxx walked behind her and hugged her. They stayed like that for a few minutes.

"I know." I said looking at Stephanie. She was looking back at me. We crashed our lips together. It seemed like it lasted forever. Someone cleared their throat to get us to stop kissing, but we didn't. We occasionally stopped for air. It turned from kissing to full on making out. Everyone had got off the bus and had went to a bar CC suggested.

STEPHANIE'S POV-------

Andy and I didn't stop making out until we reached his bunk. He closed the curtains around it. He was hovering over me. He smiled that smile I loved so much. He ran his hand along my legs. He started tugging on my dress, hinting for me to take it off, which I did. Then he unhooked my bra, and pulled my panties off. He undressed himself and put a condom on. He then slowly entered me. He waited a minute for the pain to subside, because he knew that I was a virgin. After the pain went away, he slowly started to thrust back and forth. Our hips touching every once in a while. Then he started going faster. I moaned as he groaned. I let out a loud moan as I came. Andy did as well.

"I knew I could make you cum on your first time." Andy said," but we aren't done yet."

He kissed me and then entered again. This time it didn't hurt. He started slow again. I placed my hands on his back. He stopped and we flipped over. This Tim l time, I was on top. Andy started again. I placed my hands on his chest as I let out a moan of pleasure. Andy stopped again and I layed next to him taking a short break. Then I grabbed his pleasurable length and I licked it. Then I slowly started to put it in my mouth. I used my tongue and slowly I pleased him. After about ten minutes he came again. I swallowed and kept going until Andy stopped me.

"Okay babe. That's enough." Andy said. He smiled at me and then we fell asleep, with Andy wrapping his arms around me.
