It was complicated, it was also just the beginning.
A decision.A simple choice.
There is always that one moment in life where things could have been different. That one moment where you could have chosen a path that would lead you down a certain road.

It was easier to pretend that we were still best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy.

He made it absolutely impossible
for me not to laugh and he knew it, too. Which only made it worse. It was like
adding fuel to the fire, making it bigger and wider with each flare of
gasoline. When I saw that he didn’t turn down my street and kept riding in the
direction of our abandoned house, I smiled.

house and ran up the stairs. Over the last few months we had turned it into our
own little paradise, bringing blankets and pillows to throw on the floor,

water. Everything we needed was there.

I loved it.
He handed me a bottled water to

blankets and pillows and beheld the vaulted ceilings with a content sigh.

“Good.”
“I want to get married here.”
“What?” he chuckled.
“You heard me. I want to have my

this house and raise a family here,” I firmly stated.

“Whatever.” I looked away.
“You want to know how I know?”

My mouth parted and my chest rose
and descended with each breath I took. I found myself nodding before I gave it
anymore thought, ignoring the voice in the back of my mind that screamed at me
