Memory Lane
sat on the grass holding a flower, "Hey . Five months huh? I can't believe it's already been five months. It only seems like yesterday you were bugging me at University. You really couldn't take no as an answer, could you? Well I'm glad you persistently asked me out because you were the greatest boyfriend and friend anyone could ask for *tears start to form*".
Walking amongst the field of the university "Hey !" smiled. Days had gone and was still with . She had seen a different side to him. He was gentleman-like, sweet, kind, the complete opposite of what depicted. There were days where she couldn't wait to see the big smile of his. was glad made him realise what he was like before, as he hadn't realised himself but he knew that was a transition some guys had to go through, however demeaning it was.
was searching through her bag, "Hey."
"I was just wondering, will you...erm...go out with me?" asked.
"No," replied bluntly.
"Why?" asked shocked as if no girl would ever turn him down.
"I know you. You ask a girl out, they stupidly fall for your charm, then you dump them when you see a fresh pair of legs," walked away.
was left bemused, never had a girl turned him down before. Maybe she was right, maybe he did treat women like a TV. The next few days were hell, was being pestered by to give him one chance. Ensuring her he had changed. She didn't believe one word. Yeah, like he could change in one day. was revising when she opened a note "Please give me a chance." it read. He was desperate. had never seen persistently ask a girl out, probably because they usually said yes. She screwed the paper and tossed it in the bin.
After that note attempt had stopped asking. was glad as it had been a week but something pulled at her heart strings. She wasn't smiling anymore when she saw a glum on the University bench. She knew this had something to do with her, " ? Are you okay?" asked worried as he was usually smiling with that cheesy grin.
didn't answer, he just looked at her unhappily. was about to walk away and leave him as he wasn't talking until...
"All I ask is one chance," whispered but enough for to hear.
"You're not going to give in are you?" asked. shook his head, "Okay just one date but if don't use those cheap moves on me."
A huge smile crept along his face.
"I guess I was one of those stupid girls," laughed lightly. "After Uni when we both worked with a safe income you popped the question. I always dreamed of how this day would happen, picturing scenes from a movie."
had invited over to his house for a "normal" evening. A knock came on the door, he smiled knowing it was , "Evening, M'lady." spoke in rich accent.
"Ooo, when did we get all posh huh?" asked.
and chatted, the food was not bad since put all the hard work into cooking, with the help of Gary Rhodes.
"Yeah that was funny," laughed at the time a little girl pushed into the sea because he trod on her sand castle.
"? Can I ask you something?" asked.
"Sure," took a sip from her glass.
"Um...this is really hard," said, then slowly dropping to one knee.
"..." was shocked with what was coming.
"Shh...please...I want to do this right. *Ahem* , you are an amazing girlfriend but to me you are more. Will you do me the honour of marrying me?" asked as his throat quivered. didn't answer so he was getting nervous. He knees started feeling weak, then...
"Yes," said.
"Yes?" asked for reassurance.
"YES!" replied but this times a little louder.
"I never thought I could be happier but how wrong was I? After a hectic planning schedule, our day finally came," touched the engraved letters. Choking on her words almost. The past always brought back great memories.
It was 's and 's big day. By now was living with so they could get used to the feel, it was hard at first because two lives were merging but then it got easier as they got to know each other much more, even the tiniest of details that they hadn't realised about each other. was nervous she paced around the dressing room making sure everything was okay, whilst worrying about what may go wrong. wasn't too different either.
It was time, linked arms with her dad. He lead her down the isle, she kissed him on the cheek, her attention soon turned to . Who was standing with the same smile that she loved.
", I've told you many times and I'll say it again you are amazing, you helped me become a better man. It is because of you that I am who I am. You changed me as a person when you turned me down *chuckles* for the better. Since then I knew you were something special. We have shared many great times which I will forever treasure in my heart, I hope there will be many more *smiles*. I love you," said his vows.
They kissed, immediately picked up and ran down the isle.
"That was the greatest day of my life. I was also hoping for more moments but now all I have are memories. I've had to live five months without you, it hurts," wiped away the tears but fresh ones started.?
Two days after the wedding day was sitting in the ambulance, she clutched tightly onto 's hand. They had been in a car accident, unfortunately got the worse of it. escaped with minor cuts and bruises. Then the worse moment came, the heart monitor beeped, "No ! Please don't go...don't go," pleaded, she sobbed onto his hands. 's life ended at the Ambulance.
"Five months since you've been gone. It's been hard without you, now it's even harder being single parent. Yes . I'm pregnant with your child. Unfortunately you won't be here to see him grow. That's what hurts most. When that guy took your life he also took mine. I love you," with that placed the flower on the grave. She brought gun to her head.
