Macy

After a 14 hour flight with three agitating boys, who would not stop goofing off like they were four year olds in a 20 something year olds body. We finally made it to Sydney and thank the lord we would all expand off to our families.

"Hey Mace, have fun with the hemmotron's family" Ashton yelled out to us as Luke shook his head.
What a goof I thought to myself.

"My mom is so excited to see you again, she would not stop asking me if she should decorate things a certain way or asked if she should buy stuff for you" Luke mentioned as we were walking to our taxi.

"Well I think it's really sweet of her, not many moms go out of their way like that!" I said back to him.

The car ride to their home wasn't too far from the airport. I wonder how she's going to be, I know the last time I saw her was before me and Luke went on break, I hope this goes good.

As soon as the car pulled into the driveway we could see Liz and Luke's dad rushing out the door to greet us. Immediately after parking Luke jumps out of the car and runs up to Liz.

"Aw Luke I miss you so much darling!" Liz laughs as she hugs him. God was I nervous, last time we spoke it wasn't on good terms, I hope she doesn't think of me any less.

Liz snaps me out of thought as she gives me a big hug, "Macy! Aw hun it's good to see you again!! I really did miss you darling and I am so incredibly proud of ya!"

"It's so good to be back! I missed you guys too!" I said hugging her back. After our little hug and hi fest me and Luke began bringing in our stuff. We decided to stay for a month and a half so that Luke could catch up with his mom and the boys would have time off until they begin to record again.

"So Macy, how is the tour setup going love? Liz asked

It's going great, not, "It's going super well I'm so excited!!" I'm not, I'm a nervous wreck.

"Aw that is just so exciting for you! I'm sure you'll do amazing!! How many places are you going??" Liz replied while getting some of the food finished up for dinner. I looked around to see if Luke could try and steal me from this but he was off outside with his dad and brothers.

"Well, I'm not really sure yet but we really want to hit major cities and where I am being requested the most for sure! We want as many people to come as possible so that there will be hope for another tour after that,"

After talking for a bit to Liz, Luke and the rest of the guys came back into the house for dinner.

"Alright you goons let's eat!" yelled Liz trying to get all the boys and her husband Andy to settle down and sit at the table.

Gathering together at the table everyone sat down and started to dig into the food. Did I mention that she makes bomb lasagna? I mean it is literally heaven.

"This so good! Every time you cook I just want to move here more and more!" I said while shoving another bite in.

After a relaxing night everyone got settled into their rooms and getting ready for Christmas morning.
I, however, had to finishing wrapping Luke and his family members presents since I'm horrible and I procrastinate way too much. 

About an hour or two after and in the middle of finishing the last present I'm jumped out of my mode to Luke wrapping his arms around me "You're still up wrapping?"

"Holy crop you scared me, and yes I had to make sure they are all wrapped nice and cute" I say as I put the finishing touches to them. 

"Well they look amazing, now come to bed silly"

I set the last present with the other and headed up after Luke, I didn't realize how tired I was until I stood up.

-the next morning-

Waking up to a man child shoving you to get up is not the most pleasant thing, ever.

"C'MON WE HAVE PRENTS TO OPENN!! MACEE GET YOUR LAZY BUM UP!" I roll deeper into the comforter ignoring him as best as possible.

"You've given me no choice Macy, 3,2, I'm about to jum-"

"NO IM UP!" I yell jumping straight up so he couldn't, but he did anyways.

"I TOLD YOU TO GET UP!" He laughs and still laying on me.

"Luke, I'm gonna kill you." I say pushing him off of me, god he's heavy what does this skinny kid even eat?

I drag myself out of bed and follow behind him to see his family ready down in the living room, including Celeste now.

"Merry Christmas!" Liz says as she hands me and Luke a cup of coffee and gives us hugs.

"PRESENT TIME!!" Luke yells, I swear he's 12 sometimes, I don't understand how he can be this energetic at 8 in the morning. I love him though.

Once everyone received and gave out their presents Luke stood up, "So I have one special present for Macy, I wanted to wait till the end to give it to you"
He reaches out to under the tree to grab a small wrapped box.

"So we have been through some crazy crazy things and here we are, still together and I am so so crazy for you Mace, I mean I would give up the freaking world for you. And I know you hate cheesy things but I really feel like this is our time." He says fiddling with the small box, what the heck is going on.
"And I don't want to live this life without you because now that I know what it's like with you, I wouldn't take it back for anything. So Macy, will you marry me?"

what.the.shit.

"Oh my god, Luke. I hate cheesy shit but YES!" The biggest smile I have ever seen on that kids face appears as he hugs me. I can't believe this, I'm engaged!

"Aw I'm so happy for you!!!!" Celeste squeals as she pulls me into a hug.

Best Christmas ever
