"Jeremy, get your ass back here!" a boy shouted as the brown-haired male ran, a bruise coloring his face.

Suddenly, he pivoted and served the boy with a punch to the face. He stumbled back before retaliating, causing an all-out fist fight outside their high school. A little bit away sat two girls, [Y/N] and her best friend, who were often classified as good girls. They watched the fight occur until a teachers shout stopped them. Jeremy looked over at the two girls, mouthing "tonight" to [Y/N] before getting hauled inside for a talk from the teacher.

Later that day, Jeremy pulled up to [Y/N]'s house. He only had to wait a minute before [Y/N] climbed out of her window, landed softly on the grass, and ran to his car, quickly climbing in the passenger seat and asking, "River spot again?"

"Definitely," he responded.

"Awesome."

As Jeremy drove to their secluded river spot, the two of them cracked jokes and told stories. [Y/N] and Jeremy both enjoyed times like this together without the judgement from other students since Jeremy was a troublemaker while [Y/N] was a good girl.

As Jeremy parked the car, he looked over at [Y/N] with lust in his eyes. She didn't pick up on it (or at least didn't show she did) and just gave him the same soft, love-filled look she always gave him. They both exited the car and went down to their spot. At first, they laid in silence on the soft riverbank grass, but then [Y/N] asked, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

He flipped on his side. "What do you mean?"

She turned her head to face him. "I saw the look in your eyes earlier. I think you know what I mean. Besides, you've told me how you're going to marry me in the future, so I don't see the harm."

He smiled before moving closer to her and placing his lips on hers in a passionate but soft kiss. [Y/N] rolled on top of him and smiled into the kiss. They probably went a little too far, but they didn't care. They just cared about being in each others arms.

Fast forward a couple years. [Y/N] was off to college. Jeremy wanted to go with her, but he had his own life. He pulled up to her house for the last time as she was putting the last of her stuff in her car. He jumped out of his car and ran up to her.

"Hey, Jeremy," she said as she leaned on her car.

"Hey," he said. "Heading off to college today?"

"Yeah. Hoping I can find better."

"What do you mean better?"

"Just a better life in general."

"What's wrong with life here?"

"I just don't have the same opportunities here. I'm sorry, Jeremy. Maybe we'll see each other again in a few years."

He kissed her forehead. "I love you. Always."

She just gave him a half-smile. "I know you do. Now, I have to go. I want to get there at a decent time. Bye, Jeremy."

"Bye, [Y/N]."

He retreated to his car and watched as she got in her car and drove away. He threw his Lightning hat off his head and onto the passenger seat and sighed, feeling like a piece of him was missing. Eventually, he drove back to his house to get on his computer to get his mind off of her.

While she was away at college, Jeremy got a job working Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. He found another girl named Brycelyn who he dated for seven months, then it just didn't work out. She cheated on him and did some other stuff, leaving him heartbroken for a while. Through all of this, he still incredibly missed [Y/N], even though he didn't show it.

While all of that happened, [Y/N] was busy at college with her schoolwork, a part-time job, and her college boyfriend. She rarely thought about home and Jeremy, but when she did, she really missed her old life with him. She never showed it and always put on this mask of my life is better now, even though she knew it was a lie.

Finally, after four years, [Y/N] returned. Her college boyfriend didn't work out, so she was single again. The first night back, she went out with one of her friends. What she didn't expect was to run into Jeremy, but she did. She slid into the seat next to him and said, "Hey, long time no see!"

He looked up at her, and his face changed to convey excitement. "[Y/N], you're back!"

"Yeah!"

He hugged her. "I missed you."

"I missed you too. Kinda glad things didn't work out with my college boyfriend now."

"So does that mean you can be my girlfriend again?"

She kissed him. "Of course."

He smiled. "You've changed, but you still feel the same about me, don't you?"

"I can assume you do as well."

"Yes, of course. I had tried to date someone else, and well, it didn't work out at all. She ended up hurting me at the end of the seven months that we were together."

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that happened to you, Jeremy! I wish you didn't have to go through that."

"It's fine, I've moved on, plus you're here now."

She leaned her head on his shoulder. "Yeah. Four years apart was way too many months apart. I'm happy that I'm back with you now."

He kissed her forehead. "I'm happy you're back now too."

A couple months later, spending time together at their river spot was routine again. Both had jobs, but that didn't mean they couldn't hang out at their special spot where they had made so many memories together. Jeremy was nervous heading to their spot this time though because he was about to add a very special memory involving a ring he had bought a few hours earlier to the list of memories.

When he got to the spot, he found [Y/N] waiting for him, as always. He held the box containing the ring behind his back as he approached her.

"What's with the hand behind your back, Jeremy?" she asked in confusion.

He took ahold of her hand and got down on one knee, popping out and opening the ring box. "I wanna be your forever, so baby will you be my wife? Now that we know a little better, we could have a real nice life because I'm what you wanted and you're what I need, so let's meet in-between. Were gonna be the greatest love story this town - no, this world - has ever seen, so baby say yes to me."

She held a hand up to her mouth in shock. "Yes, I'll be your wife, Jeremy."

He smiled and put the ring on her finger before dropping the empty box and standing up to kiss her. He was so happy that he finally had mustered the courage to propose to his love, and she was so happy that he pulled out the ring before she had to. They were both excited to spend the rest of their lives together.

"Jeremy, take off your hat, the brim is poking me."

A/N time!

So, I'm not gonna lie, I've had this idea floating around for a while now, but I finally did it because Greatest Love Story came on the radio yesterday and motivated me to write this. Before people yell at me, I want to mention a few things:
- No, I do not know why Jp and Brycelyn broke up exactly, but I do know that she really hurt him because of some of the things that she did (which Jp never mentioned exactly what they were, and I respect that)

- Yes, I am aware that the proposal part doesn't sound very Jp-like, but I was trying to use as much of the song as possible
- I know, I know, Jp isn't the bad boy type, again I did that because of the song

Okay, see you pineapples later!
