Jack:

We met Hayley in the middle of the court after her game. She has this huge grin on her face as she makes her way to greet her mother.

"Killed them baby girl. I'm so proud of you!" Ms. Montes says, kissing Hayley's forehead.

"Thank you mom, you better read my letter."

"I will," her mom smiles.

Liz is in tears, wiping them as Hayley approaches.

"HAYLES!" She screams, throwing her arms around Hayley.

I see tears forming in her brown eyes.

"You were amazing out there tonight, best game I've seen you play."

Hayley lets go of Liz, "Thank you Lizzie, I wrote you a letter at home so I'll give it to you!"

Liz smiles slightly, nods, and wipes the tears from her eyes. Hayley does the same.

Sam is now smiling at her.

"Hayley Alexandria," he says pulling her into a hug.

I'm sort of irritated at this, but I know they're just friends.

"I wrote you a letter Wilks, thanks for coming."

"No problem. Love you little H."

What? No Jack, stop they're just friends.

"Love you too Sam!"

Sam finally lets go of Hayley and she playfully punches him in the arm.

"JJ!" She greets Johnson, he just rolls his eyes with a smile.

"I'll let it slide Hayles. You did so damn good today! I was amazed."

Hayley smiles real big, "You were always that good announcer, better than the other one. I have your letter too!"

Jack J smiles and bring her in for a hug.

He lets go of her and now she's standing in front of me. My beautiful Hayley Richardson.

"Here, uh, I got you this," I say, holding up the bear with balloons and the basket with candies in it.

I somehow managed to give her the volleyball that had HAYLEY WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND on it.

Yes, I decided to ask her out tonight.

I watch as she reads it, her eyes moving across the words.

Finally she looked up at me. "Jack..." She whispers.

She looked back down at the volleyball and then back at me.

"Yes," she says.

Did I hear right?!

"Yes, I will be your girlfriend."

She just said yes.

I grab her arm and pull her into a hug, I also pick her up and spin her around. I look up at Hayley's mom and our friends, they're just smiling.

"Okay, Okay! Now for pictures," Hayley's mom says.

We all pretty much hand her our phones. She takes the pictures.

"Funny one now!"

We all do stupid poses, laughing.

"The new couple now!"

I look at Hayley and she is so beautiful. She's finally mine.

She grabs the volleyball and stands next to me. My heart is racing the whole time.
