Valerie's POV

What.

I looked down at the text Estefania just sent all everyone in our group message in disbelief.

"Did you read that!" Laura says hitting my arm as she reached me in excitement

"Yes!" I laugh "How crazy is that?"

"Very, oh my god im so happy for her!"

All I could do was smile, and be slightly jealous of how fast things were happening for Estefania. How did she manage to get a promise ring without even having sex yet? I was surprised since that was on something Zach and I didn't wait to do. Don't get me wrong I love that boy and wouldn't think twice about doing what we did so soon but he has never ever shown a sign of commitment towards me. How could Laura be so happy also? Her and Estefania shared the same anniversary-.

"Val" I heard Zach say into my ear "present time"

Looking at the clock I noticed it was barely ten.

"Isn't it too early?"

"Never too early for presents" he smiled

Zach grabs my hand and Laura smirks before walking back to Cameron's side. We begin to walk towards the patio door but not before Zach grabs a throw with his free hand and gives it to me.

"It's cold out"

Outside I'm surprised to see that there was Christmas lights all set up around the little space we had. I sat down on a bench while Zach messes with his guitar; I wonder when he snuck that thing in. Ugh, he was right about it being nippy out here so I covered myself a bit but not completely to show off my cute couture dress.

"It took me a while to figure out what I was going to give you" he blushed as he sat next to me

"You don't have to get me a thing" I assured him

"Don't be modest, every girl expects a gift from her boyfriend; especially on Christmas"

"Maybe..." I giggle

"Good girl, so I thought why not give you something I know how to do well"

With a last tuning his hands begin to move on the guitar.

"There's a shop down the street where they sell plastic rings for a quarter a piece I swear it,

Yeah I know that it's cheap not like gold in your dreams but I hope that you'll still wear it.

Yeah the ink may stain my skin and my jeans may all be ripped

I'm not perfect but I swear I'm perfect for you

He looks me right in the eyes as he says that and I get lost in his beautiful song.

And there's no guarantee that this will be easy

It's not a miracle you need believe me

Yeah I'm no angel, I'm just me

But will love you endlessly

Wings aren't what you need

You need me

There's a house on a hill with a view of the town and I know how you adore it

So I'll work every day through the sun and the rain until I can afford it

Yeah your friends may think I'm crazy cuz they can only see,
