"Is There A Gas Leak?", chapter 8
**Carl's POV**
That night we arrived at the venue and all was going good. Everything was tuned, strung, and ready. The opening act was almost over so we had to get ready to switch the stage.
"Hey Lizzie, having fun?" I asked as she walked over
"You know I'm pumped." she said
"Hey Lindsey lets go you don't have much time to switch the kits!" the stage manager yelled in out direction
"Ugh, yes we do dumbass," she said under her breath so only I could here "I have to go."
"Yeah me too, I don't want him screaming at me to. This is work but it's a concert and it's suppose to be fun." I said and ran off in another direction. I wanted to find Tre to see if Lizzie and I could go mosh during Longview. Billie already knew my plans.
"Hey Tre, can I talk to you for a sec?" I yelled as I saw him ahead
"Yeah sure." he answered and I pulled him aside and took the box out of my pocket.
"Woah man, I don't swing that way." Tre said as I opened it
"Ugh! It's not for you it's for Lizzie. Tonight I was going to propose during Longview and I was wondering if I could go out on the mosh pit and do it but she's your tech so I had to ask you first."
"Yeah of course. I think is like the first proposal during the show we've ever had. God, we've come along from playing in people's basements and milking dogs." he said
"Sure have." I said as we went our separate ways.

**Still Carl's POV**
The show was slowly coming to an end, but next after this song was Longview. I went and checked one of the many Blue copies that Billie had chosen to use and went to grab Lizzie.
"Lizzie!" I said when I saw her coming back from re-stocking Tre's drumsticks. God, how many did he have to throw?! We hardly have anytime to get out there. "Guess what? We can go mosh to Longview!"
"Sweet.... They just like... Let us?" she asked curiously
"Yeah, they did. Now come on!" I answered back and we ran through the halls to the pit... VIP passes are now my new best friend. We got right in the front but the cat walk thing. And then the moment came. Mike walked down and started playing. I slipped my hand in my pocket as he walked back and Billie Joe walked on. I got Lizzie's attention and got down on one knee. Kinda hard to do in a mosh pit, but whatever, its all for love.
"Lindsey Alexandra Hamilton, will you take me away to paradise?" I said right as the chorus started.
"Oh.... My.... God.... YES!" She screamed and jumped on me. Oh thank god, I might have died right there if she said no.... And she was the one that always said if she got to choose how she died, it would be moshed to death.
"Well lets mosh then goddamn it!" I said. The song came to and end and we both knew we'd have to go back, but then Billie came down the cat walk thing and said,
"Hey, we have another song first, then get back backstage. Sorry I was being kinda of a bitch about the whole addiction thing. It's just if you kill over dead, were screwed!" he said to us.
"It was totally my fault, I should keep this shit under control." Lizzie said back. Then Billie went back and told the crowd the next song was 2, 000 Light Years Away, dedicated to Carl and Lindsey.
"Did you plan this?" Lizzie asked me.
"The moshing/proposal thing, yes, 2, 000 Light Years Away, nope." I said
"I'll give you credit anyway." she said as she leaned over, kissed me, and but her head on my shoulder.

"Awww... You guys are soooo cute!" Billie screamed at us when the guys walked of stage.
"Awww.... That means so much coming from you... Not! Call me cute again and I'll beat your ass famous or not!" Lizzie said. Ha ha, that was my girl
"God how do you put up with her?" Tre asked sarcastically
"I don't! Help me!" I fake begged. And then leaned over to Lizzie "I'm still surprised that little 13 year old bitch could......" I whispered in her ear before she cut me off,
"But remember, we were going to just see, and if we did like each other wait and see if it was only sex or not because we were friends then." she said
"Well, lets get hammered!" I suggested. "Guys you in?"
"Yeah, sure it's a celebration, who cares if there's a show tomorrow." Mike said
**Lindsey's POV**
This is the best day ever. I'm engaged. Emily is going to freak, so is Michelle. Oh, shit... My parents.
"Umm... Carl... " I started nervously
"Lizzie what's wrong?" he asked when he saw the look on my face
"Umm... What about my parents." I said
"What do you mean 'rents? I know your moms cool with this. She always has since we were 15." Carl said and then stopped. "Oh shit, does your Dad even....."
"Know we were dating?" I asked
"No." he said
"Know we fucked to many times to count?"
"No," he said "Knows I found you after someone complained and switched my dorm that day I left."
