Marriage Proposal

*Two weeks later*

Nelly POV

I hated how he made me feel. One second Alex could make me feel on top of the world then the next I’m tomorrow’s trash. I’m seriously thinking Alex has bipolar issues because that’s the only reasonable explanation for that. In the past two weeks Alex tried to talk to me every time he saw me. I still sang Remembering Sunday with him, because I’m not cruel. He called, I never answered, he texted, never replied, he visited, was never there, every excuse to not see him. This was his fault, he toyed with my emotions like a jerk and I let him, this always happens and it’s always my band left to pick up the pieces. I’m not letting them do it this time, besides none of them know, so if they get wind I’m suddenly avoiding Alex they’ll suspect something.

“Hey! It’s Nelly from My Tears!” I turned around and saw a girl and boy heading my way. I stopped and waited for them, even though I wanted nothing more than a shower. I had just come from Of Mice’s set and I was always the most active on theirs and mine set.

“Hey guys.” I said to them and smiled brightly at them, even though I was beyond tired and just wanted to shower and sleep.

“I’m sorry for bothering you Nelly. I know you just came Of Mice’s set and all but do you mind signing this and taking a picture with me and my boyfriend?” The girl asked me with a hopeful look in her eyes.

“Of course…” I paused waiting for their names.

“I’m Marcy and my boyfriend is Shane. We met at your concert actually, your first headliner.” Marcy told me with a wide smile. Our first headliner was four years ago, and they were still together.

“Congrats for you guys. And of course I will as long as you don’t mind my stinky-ness, I was just on my way to shower when you asked.” I told her, before she pulled out a poster of my band and I. I signed it before Shane took a picture of Marcy with me and Marcy took a picture of Shane and I.

“Thank you so much!” Marcy called to me before leaving. Shane gave a small wave and smile goodbye before following his girlfriend. I finished my walk to the bus and went straight to my bunk to get some clothes. After I changed I walked out and got ready for Sleeping With Sirens set. I was going to sing the If I’m James Dean you’re Aubrey Hepburn, since he felt like it’d be sung better with a girl in it.

I walked over to Kia Soul Stage for the set. I was going second because my set clashed with theirs, after the third song. “I’m here Kelly!” I call out to Kellin when I made it side stage. I walked around the corner looking for him but crashed into Gabe. “Hey Gabes, you seen Kellin?”

“Yeah, he’s over there. By the platform thingy.” Gabe pointed it out to me and I nodded.

“Thanks and watch it drummer!” I call out to him before walking towards Kellin. “Kellin! I’m here, go onstage now!” Kellin let out a laugh.

“I’m going Nelly.”

“Hurry up, I have to sound check for myself too!” I told him smiling. I sat down beside the platform thingy and waited for them to finish the first song.

“Damn it don’t rush me Nelly!” Kellin shouted, making the crowd laugh. “Sorry guys she’s a impatient fucker. She wants me to rush the song so she can get on and do her part so she can go to her set.” Kellin told them. “Who here is going to ditch our set for her set?” Kellin asked them, getting some yells in response. “Trading fuckers!” Kellin yelled towards them playfully. “Nelly come on your song is first!”

I ran out onstage and waved. “Hey you beautiful little fuckers! I’m Nelly Jameson from My Tears of Pain and I’m here with my boy, Kelly and we’re going to sing If I’m James Dean you’re Aubrey Hepburn! Who’s excited?” I asked them, getting a loud ‘me’ in response. “Then come on. Everyone better sing along!” I yelled to them before turning to Kellin. “Come on Kellin, I think they’re ready for this now.”

“Then what are we waiting for Nelly? Let’s do this shit!” Kellin said before starting.

“Stay for tonight
If you want to
I can show you
What my dreams are made of
As I’m dreaming of your face
I’ve been away for a long time
Such a long time
And I miss you there
I can’t imagine being anywhere else
I can’t imagine being anywhere else but here” I sang to the crowd and let Kellin take over since I was actually pop punk and not whatever the hell genre Sleeping with Sirens were.

“How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, cause I can sing you a song
But I don’t think words could express your beauty
It’s singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we’ve been history” Kellin sing and the crowd was singing along with every word.

“Jump, jump!” I called out to the crowd getting them hyped up.

“Come on!” Kellin said, wanting them to be louder.

They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake, in my bed awake at night
As I dream of you
I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love
It could mean everything, everything to me
I can't imagine being anywhere else”
I sang and danced around on the stage. It still felt weird not to be playing guitar while I’m singing, but I like being able to move around more and hype the crowd.

“They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me
The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know we'll be Ok
The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know I'll be Ok
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me”
Kellin let the crowd sing the last line for him before it was my turn.

“(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay as long as you need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay forever with me”
I did backing vocal for Kellin while he sang the rest of the song. When the song came to an end the crowd went wild and Kellin and I’s foreheads were touching and we were both out of breath.


“Thanks guys! Now come catch my set in 20 or stay watch the amazing Sleeping With Sirens.” I yelled to the crowd before leaving to find the Monster stage. Once I found it I got up onstage. The guys said something about changing a song in the set and I shrugged, I didn’t care as long as I got to sing and I knew the song. “What song is it guys?”

“It’s Always by Blink. I know you know it, so can you do me this huge favor and sing it for me?” Martin asked me and I nodded.

“Any special reason?” I asked him, wanting to know what was up.

“Hayden lives here for college remember and she’s going to be here. I want to propose to her.” Martin told me and I smiled.

“Ok. First song? Last song? Middle song?” I asked him, how he’d want to do it.

“Last song, please.” I nodded; I could work that in there before 35 minutes are up.

“Come on we got to be on.” I told them and they ran on, after everybody took there spot I ran on. “Hey! I’m Nelly. We’re My Tears of Pain and this song is called Retrace These Steps and it goes something like this!” I yelled before singing the song.

After I finished our second to last song, I stopped for a minute. “A friend of mines wanted to do something special for this lovely lady of his and he requested I change the set list just for this show, and I agreed because it’s a sweet way to do it. They’ve been together for 4 years, since the end of high school and it’s a wonder he’s doing this now. I’m going to stop talking and sing before I give away the surprise. This song is called Always by Blink 182 and it’s a fucking awesome ass song! So love it and if you don’t suck hairy monkey balls!” I screamed to the crowd before singing the song.

After I finished the song I called Hayden up here. “Hey Hayden get your pretty ass up here! I want to declare my love for you!” I told her as I got the security to bring her up on stage. I turned to Martin, “Do your thing pretty boy.” I told him winking.

“Hey everybody this is my girlfriend of 4 years, Hayden.” The crowd called back a ‘hi Hayden’ before Martin moved on. “I know this was kind of a pressure way of doing this but… I love your smile, the way you look when you just wake up, the way you’re not afraid to speak your mind. I love your hair and your intelligence, I love your jokes and most of all I love you. So will you, Hayden Elizabeth Johnson, give me, Martin Lloyd Simmons, the honor of becoming your husband?”

The whole crowd ‘aw’ed and even in that moment I had to ‘aww’ too, because that was so sweet. I saw people taking pictures of it and some were even recording it. I so wanted that sent to me. “Hey, somebody who recorded it? Do me a favor and post it on twitter and mention me in the tweet! Thanks!” I called out to the crowd and everybody laughed.

“YES!” Was the only thing heard in that moment because Hayden accepted the proposal. Everybody cheered when he slid the ring on her finger and kissed her.

“Ladies and gentleman, I’d like to show you the future Mrs. Martin Simmons!” I said to the crowd and Hayden stepped up to where I was and waved. “But it’s time to go, we’ll be at our tent in a hour, so stop by and say ‘hi’ to Hayden and congratulate her on being engaged! Later!” I said before walking off the stage. “I’m going to take another shower!” I heard a ‘ok’ in the distance so I shrugged and walked off to our bus.

“Nelly?”
