Jaime and I were sitting on the side of the stage during The Summer Set. Jess had invited me since we were the only girl drummers on Warped. We had grown close over the last week since she came and saw one of ATL's sets. Brian was busy chatting up the crowd, so Jess stuck her tongue out at me and threw one of her drumsticks. I shrieked and Jaime pushed me out of the way, taking a stick to the chest.

We were all laughing our asses off and Brian turned and gave us a dirty look, then he grinned. After he turned away, I picked up the drumstick and threw it at him, hitting him in the back of the head.

They finished the set and then Brian came running offstage, attacking me in a hug. Jess hugged me, too. Then, all of the band was hugging me. We were all laughing, of course. I was grinning like crazy, because I had found my family. My crazy, amazing Warped family.

Jaime grabbed me by the waist, and pulled me away. He spun me around and crashed our lips together. Everyone yelled, "Get a room!" and I smiled into the kiss. He carried me into the crowd and we stood in the back, watching Craig introduce the first song. No one had realized it was us yet, and we screamed and cheered with the rest of them.

Craig started the first song, and Jaime lifted me onto his shoulders. When the crowd got their hands under me, I was being pushed towards the stage by thousands of random hands. A few of them managed to grab my butt in the process, but I had never had more fun in my life.

As I got to the barricade, I reached out my hand for Craig to high five me. He did, and one of the security guys grabbed me, setting me down and yelling for me to move along. I was grinning like crazy, so much that my face hurt. Jaime grabbed me and spun me round, then held my hand as we walked around. We said hi to a few guys and girls, signing autographs. Then, Jaime started walking out of the venue. He was leading me somewhere. It looked like we were going to a gazebo that had wildflowers growing up the sides. It had clearly been abandoned, judging by the height of the grass around it, but it was still beautiful.

We stood inside for a minute, simply taking in the beauty of the ruins. Jaime's chocolate gaze finally rested on mine.

"Carter Elizabeth Hanes," he began, letting himself fall onto one knee. "I know we've only been together for two months, but I feel a sort of connection to you, a happiness when I think of you, that I've never ever felt before. You've made me a better person, you've accepted all of my flaws, and loved me purely for who I am. Since I don't know if I'm ready to get married yet, I have a different question. Will you be mine? Will you wear this promise ring and think of me on nights when I'm not there to hold you?" He looked into my eyes with a sort of loving seriousness. He held out the ring and I offered my finger, completely out of anything to say. My heart was in my throat and I wasn't sure what to say. Sliding it on, I felt a warmth run through my veins, like I just found the missing puzzle piece. I guess I sort of knew it from the day I met him, but I never expected it to feel this amazing.

"Car?" Jaime questioned, obviously wondering why I hadn't answered him.

"Yes," I whispered, nodding rapidly. "Of course I will!" I felt a tear stream down my face as I threw myself into his arms.

He sighed, "I'm so glad."

"So am I," Ruby screamed.

I whipped my head to where she, Logan, Kathy, Mike, Vic, and Tony were standing. Vic had a camera in his hand and Mike had a cooler full of Coronas. He passed them out to everyone, giving me a bottle of butterbeer instead.

"Mikey! You're giving me your butterbeer??" I exclaimed.

"Well, I feel like this is a pretty damn special occasion," he grinned, hugging me. "Welcome to the PTV family, kiddo."

"I thought I was already part of the family," I pouted.

"You are," Vic laughed. "But now it's a little more official."

I turned to the girls, all of whom were about in tears. "Guys," I smiled. "It's nothing to cry about."

"I know," Kathy grinned, wiping her eyes, "But it's just so fucking sweet."

They all hugged me, and we walked back to the venue. The boys had to go on and I had a feeling this wouldn't be the last anyone heard of it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The boys were onstage and we had just finished Hold On Till May. I was smiling and crying a bit, walking offstage. Vic grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"Now, we have an extra special song for everyone tonight," he smiled as the crowd roared. "This is for two of our favorite PTV family members. I don't think I'm allowed to tell you exactly what happened, but there was a promise ring and your favorite couple involved."

"Now, who could that be?" Mike rolled his eyes.

"Obviously, it's Logan and I. I mean, we're definitely the hottest couple," Tony grinned as the crowd cheered.

"Jaime," Vic grinned mischievously. "Do you have anything to add?"

For the first time in my life, I saw Jaime blush. "I... uh..."

"OH MY GOD!" Yelled someone from the crowd. "YOU GAVE CARTER A PROMISE RING?!" All the girls started screaming or 'awww'ing.

"Y-yeah," he blushed and looked at me, trying to see my reaction.

I ran over to him and threw my arms around his neck, kissing him deeply. There were even more 'awww's from the crowd. I smiled and pulled away, sitting down on the edge of the platform that held Mike's drumset.

"So, this next song is for Car and Hime-Time. It's called Kissing in Cars."

"As we wake up in your room,
Your face is the first thing I see,
The first time I've seen love,
And the last I'll ever need."
