Struggling with more Ways than one

~ 1 week before school ends ~
~ Gerard's POV ~
I told Fletcher I'd pull some strings for her and indeed I shall.
I walk confidently up the the pricipals office and ask him politley for Fletcher's diploma.
"Why on earth would you need that Gerard." she mocks.
I frown.
"She's moving and her mother is too ill to sign for it and Fletcher is too shy to come up here for herself." I lie.
"And what makes you think I'm going to give it to you." she scoffs.
I furrow my brows and control myself from reaching out blantanly bitch slapping her across the face.
She's my fucking girlfriend, but of course she doesnt know that; I need to control my anger so I can keep my trap shut.
"She's moving today, and as one of her teachers I think I reserve the right to give her her diploma." I seethe.
"Fine then."
She spins around in her chair to her file cabinet and retrieves the diploma. I thank her kindly before proceeding to the art room where fletcher was waiting alone; the last week of school has half days on fridays and that means it's almost time for fletcher and I to make our escape.
"Congradulations babe." I say wrapping her in a warm embrace and kissing her lips in a celebratory manner.
"Thanks." she blushes.
"Got everything packed?" I ask excidedly.
Fletcher nods.
"I'm ready to go when you're."
"Then lets go!"
I yell and sling her over my shoulder.
"Gee!" she giggles.
I smile wide and sit her in the passengers seat. Stepping on the gas and getting onto the highway, the first step in our adventure together.
"We're FREE!" I scream into the wind.
a"Yeah but where's our shit?" Fletcher asks confused.
"In the trunk, you said we were ready to go right?"
she nods and I kiss her lips for the first time not giving a single fuck if anyone else was around, and damn that felt good.
A few hours into the trip Fletcher falls asleep so I prop her up so her neck doesn't cramp up.
Another hour later we're at the hotel. I carry a drowsy Fletcher and our suitcases to the lobby, get our room key, and then haul all our belongings and my girlfriend to our room.
Once there I gently place Fletcher on the bed and throw our stuff down, crawling next to her warm body.
"Night sugar." I kiss her forehead.
"Goodnight handsome."

My eyelids flutter open groggily, my gaze landing on the most beautiful person I've ever been enchanted to meet;
Fletcher.
"Hey babe." I mumble as I wrap my arm around her waist and place a small kiss on her soft lips.
"Morning sleepyhead." she giggles.
I smile. I stare at her lovingly for a moment before saying,
"Have I told you how much I love you?" I ask as a playful smile spreads over my face.
"Why don't you show me." she mutters in a seductive tone as her small stature straddles over my still sleepy body.
She forcefully kisses my lips and I slide my hands around her waist. She further deepens the kiss and works her hands on my pants but I stop her, I don’t feel like doing that wuite yet.
She stares at me, hurt.
“Not yet sweet heart,” I coo as I get up. “Put on somethin’ pretty, I have plans for us tonight.” I wink and walk over to my suitcase and pull out my tux. I wink at her once more before heading into the bathroom to change. I change quickly, making sure the ring is still in my pocket. It is, I smile.
Tonights the night.
I reemerge into the room to find fletcher in a beautiful strapless red dress. I cant help but gawk.
“Close your mouth youll catch flies.” She snickers and palces a kiss on my cheek. I blush and outstretch my arm and fletcher takes it. We head outside to the lobby and fletcher gets some cat calls. I glare at them and they shut up.
Never mess with a dude in makeup, ever.
I take her to a nice steak resteraunt and everything goes as planned. Except I was incredibly nervous and stuttered a lot, god I felt like I had been transported back to highschool except I was with the girl of my dreams.
We walk hand in hand on the white sand of the beach, our bare feet illuminated by the crystalline moonlight.
Fletcher walks ahead of me for a while, looking for seashells I assume and I watch her with a smile on my face.
Now is the time Gerard.
I walk slowly behind her, clasping the box in my hand.
“Fletcher,” I begin nervously.
She turns around and we’re face to face.
I get down on one knee.
“Will you marry me?”
