A/N: I apologize that this took so long I’ve not only been in a weird slump but I’m also currently learning how to drive and that is proving to be more exhausting than I previously assumed it to be, but I hope this is an enjoyable read it was fun to write.
—————–
Jane loved being in Julie and the Phantoms, she got to make amazing music with the most important people in her life. She was the second lead guitarist alongside Luke and lead singer with Luke and Julie. Her twin brother, Alex, was the band’s drummer and Reggie, her boyfriend, was their bassist. Julie’s friend Flynn had also joined the band officially as their manager.
The band had worked hard to make a name for themselves around Los Angeles and after calling in all the favors they could, building a large following, and lots of patience, they finally got the chance of a lifetime. Julie and the Phantoms were going to be playing the Orpheum.
Jane stood backstage running her hands through her hair. Distracted by her nerves, she didn’t feel the leather jacket the boy she loved constantly being laid across her shoulders. She only snapped out of her daze when said boy spoke to her.
“Hey. You ok?” Reggie said with concern lacing his voice. Jane turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking into his eyes.
“Yeah, I’m just a little nervous is all.” Jane shrugged off her nerves. Reggie looked into the girls blue eyes and smiled.
“Nothin’ to be nervous about. I’m sure you’re gonna kill it.” They looked at each other and smiled, too lost in each other to realize that the band was being called to go perform until Luke said something.
“Hey, you guys are cute and all, but we got a whole crowd of people to play for. Let’s get a move on.” He said laughing at the couple. Julie and Alex were smiling at the cute interaction at the door to the dressing room.
The group of kids headed to the stage to start their show. From the stage they could see Julie’s family, Willie, and Flynn in the VIP box equally as excited for the band to have their big break. They started to perform Stand Tall and the crowd was loving every bit of it. After they were done with their song the band got a standing ovation from the crowd. They soon noticed that a woman in business attire stood backstage waiting for them to exit. All the bandmates looked at each other wondering what she wanted.
“Hi. I’m Andy Parker from Star Records.” She shook Julie’s hand.
“I was quite impressed. I would like to sign Julie and the Phantoms to Star Records for the foreseeable future.” The manager looked at all the teenagers’ shocked expressions waiting for their answer.
“Yes! Of course! Thank you!” Julie said excitedly while looking around at the other members of the band.
“Good to hear. I’m looking forward to working with you all.” She said slightly chuckling at the excitement that was radiating off the teens in front of her.
As Andy walked away while talking on the phone, the band turned so they could all look at each other. They all started hugging each other and talking over each other in excitement. All their dreams were finally coming true.
Later while sitting in the studio Julie had received a call explaining what they were going to do now that they were signed. All the kids were spread around the room, Jane and Reggie were sitting together on the leather couch, basking in the new found success that the band had just achieved.
As the other band members were talking Reggie could feel the weight of the ring he carried burning a hole in his pocket, he had a feeling he wanted to do this sooner rather than later. He leaned over to whisper in his girlfriend’s ear so the other didn’t hear.
“Hey let’s go on a walk on the beach.” As he said this he grabbed Jane’s hand and led her out of the studio.
The couple walked along the beach until Reggie stopped them in front of the bench they shared their first kiss on years ago. Jane looked at him questionably as he stopped them and turned her around. She looked down at his hands as he wiped his sweaty palms against his pants. Reggie cleared his throat and began to speak.
“Jane, three years ago we sat on this bench together and shared our first kiss. It was the best and scariest moment in my life because I finally got to kiss the girl I loved, but I was also pretty sure that your brother was going to kill me. And to be honest he almost did. But, I have now spent the best three years with the woman I love and I wouldn’t ask for anything to change. And now that we’re signed I want to do this before our lives get too crazy.” He took a deep breath before taking the ring out of his pocket and getting down to one knee. Jane was shocked after his proclamation of love and even more shocked when he got to the ground.
“Jane Mercer, will you do me the honor of marrying me?” Jane’s hands had come to cover her mouth in shock as tears started to prick at her eyes. She looked down at the man before her and started nodding her head.
“Yes!” She said teary eyed. Reggie put the ring on her hand, stood up and began to swing her in a circle. He set her down and kissed her passionately. They both smiled at each other and relished in the moment. Reggie kissed her one more time before assuring her.
“We’re gonna be ok.” He said hugging her tightly.
