Prove Me Wrong.

'Kieran's POV'

The weather in Ireland is very unpredictable, the classic saying for Dublin and the outlying towns is that if you don’t like the weather just wait five minutes. So packing for a whole month is quite stressful, and well Jamie is being no help at all. He's flopped himself on my bed in the midst of my suitcase and duffel bag, pouting because it's getting late and I won't cuddle with him.

Standing in my closet I proceed to pick out clothes and throw them into my room, shirts and pants, shoes and a few dresses litter my floor. Grabbing another pair of jeans I decide I have enough as I turn off the light to the walk in closet and close the door. When the door clicks shut Jamie pops up, "Are you done yet?!" he whines as I make my way over to the bed and mountain of clothing. "Nope, one more pile to fold and pack."

He groans, throwing his body back on the bed I shake my head grabbing a converse from the pile tossing it at him and hitting him in the stomach. "Oww, what was that for?" he pouts rubbing the spot where I had hit him. "If you would get off your ass and help me this would go a lot quicker." I sassed, folding a Stars hoodie before stuffing it in the suitcase. Jamie got off the bed standing beside me folding a pair my jeans into a small square, "Is that my sweatshirt?" he asked noting the black shirt I had just packed. "Maybe.. I'm going to miss your clothes." I said quietly. I was hoping he wouldn’t notice I had stolen some of his shirts to take with me.

He placed the jeans into the duffel bag and turned my face to look at him, "I'm going to miss you." I squeezed my eyes shut, clutching the tank top in my hands I couldn’t start crying now leaving him was going to be so hard. "I'm going to miss you too J, so much." I said tossing the shirt into the bag before wrapping my arms around Jamie, burying my face in his neck. We stand there wrapped in this embrace for what feels like forever, Jamie rubbing circles on my back, "Let's finish this babe, it's late and we've got a long day tomorrow." I pull away from his neck wiping the few teardrops from my eyes, settling back into the packing mode.

Together as a team we finally finish packing a suitcase full of clothes for all weather conditions. Jamie say's I've over packed but that's a word no girl has in vocabulary, if anything I don’t have enough. Clearing all of the bags and other luggage off of my bed, I yawn its past midnight and as Jamie had said we had a big day tomorrow. My parents are throwing a little party to celebrate my graduation with most of the guests being family, and their friends. Only a few of my friends were coming, so it was sure to be a great time. (Note the sarcasm in great) Turning off the overhead lights I pulled my Nike hoodie off before crawling into my bed and snuggling into Jamie's side. Sleeping in Ireland would be hard, not only would I be in a foreign bed but I wouldn’t have my favorite pillow, one with a heartbeat and strong tattooed arms.

'Jamie's POV'

The sunlight peered in through the black and white chevron curtains of Kieran's bedroom, the light reflecting off of Kieran's pale face. I'm not sure if she knows this but she smiles while she sleeps, and sometimes she talks but it's normally just gibberish and I think it's cute. Her back is turned to me and she has the white comforter pulled almost to her chin, she wouldn’t be so cold if she didn't sleep in just a sports bra and spandex but that's the volleyball player in her and I'm not complaining. I watch her sleep for a few minutes taking in the freckles that are starting to become more prevalent on her face as she spends more time in the sun, after tomorrow I wouldn’t see that gorgeous face for at least a month if not longer. Skype and FaceTime were about to become my best friend. The alarm clock on the bedside table read 10:03 in red lights, and if we were going to make it to Kieran's parents by 2 we needed to get going.

Wrapping an arm around her bare torso I pulled her closer to my body, rolling her gently into my chest. I hoped that the movement would cause her to stir awake. "Babe," I said moving her messy hair from her face, "Time to get up Kier." Her body squirmed, "Nooo," she whined hiding her face in my chest. I traced patterns on her skin causing her to shiver, "You have to baby, we have to go to your party." She stretched an arm over my stomach, "I just want to lay in bed, people can bid me farewell from here." I laughed, what was she the queen of England? "Bid you farewell? What are you the Queen now?" Kieran lifted her head as she stretched and yawned, "It's too early for your sass, Benn." I sat up shrugging, "You love me." She climbed out of the bed, "Unfortunately," she spoke with a giggle while walking into the bathroom.

It has always amazed me how easily Kieran dresses herself, most girls take forever to decide on an outfit but Kieran she can throw and outfit together in minutes. And not only does she choose what she's going to wear, she has started taking the liberty of choosing for me. Which is kind of a blessing and a curse, I never know what she's going to throw at me when we're packing my stuff to stay at her place.

Thankfully today it's simple, it's summer and this party is pretty casual no suits needed. Kieran's dressed in some kind of romper thing and black wedges, and she's picked khaki shorts and a black t-shirt for me. Getting dressed together would be much easier if we lived together, and the thought has crossed my mind a few times but I'm not sure how to bring it up. We're still getting over the last fight and I don't want to ruin what we've already rebuilt. But with the ring on her finger I know that we're going to be together forever. I also know that I should ask sometime soon, maybe I should start dropping hints.

'Kieran's POV'

My parents backyard was set up with tables and chairs as my mom's side of the family and my parents friends bustled around congratulating me and meeting Jamie. Tyler, Cody, Lauren, Jordie, and Jess were also here meeting my crazy family and enjoying all of the food my parents had made. The men asked questions about my new job, and the women went straight for the new ring on my finger. Jamie, being the man that he is had asked my parents before giving me the promise ring therefore ruining my surprise for today. My parents clearly loved that boy as much as I did and I was glad. A lot of the party goers were my parents co-workers all medical professionals, they all knew how hard I had worked to get my MD. After we had all eaten dinner my parents took to the front of the yard, asking for everyone's attention, I was nervous for what they were about to do.

My dad cleared his throat and began to speak in his twangy Irish accent, "As we all already know we're here to celebrate Kieran, and all of her accomplishments. 25 years ago we had this little red head and we knew the day she was born she would be spit fire, Kiery your mom and I are so proud of you and all that you have done with your life and we know that you are going to do great things at your new job." He stopped, a proud smile on his face and my mom jumped in her, southern accent strong as she was a full blooded Texan.

"My little girl, I have stood by you every step of the way from the day you were born in Ireland, to the day you signed with A&M, through heartbreak and happiness, and all the times you have walked across the stage. Kieran Makayla, I can't tell you how proud you have made me. I've raised two amazing children with this man next to me and I am so blessed to be your mom." By the time she was finished I was crying, I stood from my chair and walked towards my parents wrapping them in a huge hug together, whispering that I loved them, and thanking them for everything through my tears. From behind me I heard Jamie's voice, "To Kieran" he cheered and everyone followed raising their drinks. I had the greatest support system behind me, and with them I knew I could do anything.
