Nine

Chirstmas this year was amazing. I had Jules at my side this year and she was radiently happy. She got me a new beanie, some new skinny jeans, a new pair of converse to replace a pair that was so beaten to hell the sole was attached with duct tape, and some new shirts. I got Jules a new macbook like mine so she can take her college courses on it, my new AWG crew neck fleece from Glamour Kills, a vinatage locket tht I got engraved with, "To the girl that was made of broken porcelain. My heart is forever yours. Loving Always, Alexander William Gaskarth," I also added the date we met on it. In the locket was a picture of me kissing her cheek, our first picture together, and on the other side was a picture of me playing Therapy on stage. I also got her a pair of boots that matched the ones I wore when I brought her home from Michigan since they were her favorite pair, a couple pairs of skinny jeans that matched my collection, and I got her a really nice Batman bag.
"Alex you spoiled me," she whined playfully after she had opened everything that was under the tree.
"I haven't finished spoiling you yet. Wait here," I go over to the tree and grab an ordinment that was really holding her last present, "Open it."
"What do you have up your sleeve Lex," she was dying to know what I got her. She opened the ordinment and found the keys, "You got me a set of keys?"
"Follow me," I held out my hand and she took hold of it and I guided her to the garage. Her jaw dropped.
"You got me a car," she gushed as she admired her new silver Ford Fiesta.
"So you can have the freedom to drive where ever you want while we're in studio working or while we're out on tour," I told her before she kissed me deeply.

We've been in studio for a couple weeks now. Jules and I got the only bedroom in the flat while everyone else was scattered around. A lot of the time Jules and I just slept with her in my arms, others was when I was having the ocassionaly nightmares about Tom and Jules remained awake and held me to her. Then there were the night terrors she had of her fucked up life when she was living with her deadbeat father and I clutched her tightly to me so her porcelain that I had repaired wouldn't shatter. But we were very happy the entire time until sleep took us.
"Alex," Jules called to get my attention. I was zoning out, playing with my hair as I was thinking about the dinner tonight. i was proposing tonight.
"Huh? What," I asked as I came back into reality.
"Do you like the Navy or the peach," she asked as she held up two dresses. The navy one was the dress from our first date together. I liked the peach better since it was new and the Navy has been out once already.
"I like the peach one. We've been out in the navy before and I like the sash on it," I said.
"The peach on it is," she agreed and went to get ready.

When we all got to the restaurant, I got really nervous. Then weirdest and scariest thing popped into my head. It was Tom.
She loves you lex. You got this. I've got your back. Trust me.
God, I missed him. I wish he could see his little brother, the rockstar, right now.
Dinner was done quicker than I thought. As we all waitied for dessert I knew this was my window to do it.
"Can I get everyone's attention," I cleared my throat as everyone looked at me. I grabbed Jules' left hand before I spoke again, "I asked everyone here so I could ask a huge question. Jules, I met you two years ago and we went on our first date together a few weeks later after Jack and I rescued you from your father. We lost each other a year ago, but we found our way back to each other in August. We've showed our weakest points to each other and fell in love. So I have only one question that I must ask you," I got down on one knee as I got out the ring Micah and I picked out for her, "Julia Marie Caspin, will you marry me?"
"Oh my god yes! Yes I will," she beamed, tears of joy in her eyes as I slipped the ring onto her soft delicate finger. I stood upa dn she threw her arms around my neck as we kissed. The servers poured all of us flutes of champagne as they brought in our desserts. Jack rasied his glass and everyone followed.
"To alex and Juli," Jack shouted in a toast.
"To Alex and Juli," everyone cheered as they clinked their glasses.
"Salute," Jules cheered as I clinked glasses with her.
"Saulte," I replied before I sipped my champagne.

The next morning, I went into the recording booth to lay down some vocals. Jules was sitting with Jack and Mike Green, our producer for the record, in the mixing room.
"Just do it for the memories. Do it for Baltimore. Do it me," I sang out the last lines of the chorus for my beautiful finacée. I took off my headset and went into the mixing room. Jules pranced on the balls of her feet over to me and planted a quick kiss on my lips.
"So what's the meaning behind that song," she asked flirtatiously, wanting to know more about "For Baltimore".
"It's about being in love with your hometown and falling in love in your hometown," I told her as I took a seat next to Jack and brought Jules down into my lap, wrapped my arms around her.
"Did you fall in love in your hometown," she teased.
"Look at the ring on your finger and then tell me," I teased back as I kissed her shoulder.
"That's what I thought soldier," she replied.
"You snuck a peek into my lyric journal didn't you," I whined, "You are such a snoop."
"Can you sing that one next for me," she asked.
"Want to lay the main melody today for it Mike," I asked of our producer as I got up and set Jules back into the chair.
"Help yourself Alex," I went back into the booth and pulled up the lyrics on my macbook. I sang "So Long Soldier" just for Jules so she can hear me sing about myself and my dreams.
Julia Marie Gaskarth, I love the sound of that. I can't for you to my wife Jules. I love you so much. ♥
