" How have you been?" He asked after he stepped on the petal and the car gave a powerful sound.

" Fine, you?" I tried to be polite. I heard him giggle. I looked at him. He had aged. He was finally a man, not just a pretty boy. I couldn't help but study him a little. He seemed to be working out a lot and his hair was thicker. I looked at his arms. They were strong and confident and the muscles couldn't hide for a penny as he ran his fingers through his hair. I stopped on his hands. What was that I saw on his finger?

" Is that a...ring?" I asked. Danny didn't answer. He kept his eyes on the road. I looked infront of me. The rain was running fast down the car window, like someone was washing the car. The light from the car infront of us lighted up his face when I looked at him again.

" You are engaged to my friend that you cheated on me with aren't you?" Danny stopped at a red light and looked at me.

" You didn't want me" He said low. I looked away laughing with a full sarcasm.

" You were cheating on me" I said and shook my head." I hope you two are happy" I added. I looked out of the window seeing that we were close to the mid town.

" We are, she is pregnant and..." He stopped. He took a deep breath. My eyes met his as I looked at him. Now I could see it. He was tired. The bags under his eyes were darker then before and his skin somehow looked more gray. He looked miserable. He looked on the road like he couldn't bare looking into my eyes any longer. Suddenly he placed his manly hand on my thighs. I froze. When he saw that I didn't do anything but look at his hand he started moving it up.

" Danny what are you doing?" I whispered. Suddenly I found just how cold it was in here. My breath turned into a little cloud over my chest and I looked at him.

I didn't stop it until he was under my dress and pulling my panties to the side. I grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

" Please" I whispered and found the tears build up in my eyes. I didn't want this. I didn't want to be another married mans hobby.

" C'mon Tara, I know you want this" He said and looked at me quickly. He was driving and he still wanted to do this? I felt sick in my stomach as he tried to loose his hand.

" You are engaged" I said and moved it away. Why did I always have to say that? It hurt way too bad.

" I've never loved anyone as much as I love you. And I still love you and I probably always will" He said serious.

" Stop the car" I felt dizzy as he said those words. I needed air. I needed to get away from him.

" What? No I can't just stop the car" His voice changed from serious to pissed as he looked into the back mirror.

" Stop the car I said ! " I suddenly yelled. Danny looked at me shocked. I looked at him back and he hit the brakes so hard that the car behind us was close to crash his car to Danny's.

I grabbed my purse and opened the door. " Don't you ever speak to me again" I slammed the door to Danny's face and he was quick to drive away. I ran to the sidewalk and looked around. I was standing on the London bridge. I saw the London eye light up the river and Big Ben behind me, looking down.

The rain was still heavy and I was wet within few seconds. I cursed as I wrapped my arms around me and started walking. It was freezing and I couldn't stop shaking. I made my way towards the big tower with the clock without thinking. The street lights lightened up the bridge and not many people were walking in the rain.

I couldn't help but tear up as I started thinking about how this night ended. Every since I came back I had been cutting myself out so this would not happen. Now I was stuck in my own office and dark forever since I didn't want to go through this again. My heart simply could not handle something like this again.

I stopped when I saw a figure standing, resting its hands on the cold stone that separated the river and the free fall as she hid under an blue umbrella.

I decided to ignore the person and walk fast by her but as I came closer and closer my eyes started to get more curious.

All I saw was black. What seemed to be suits were dripping with water and the dark thick hair was moved to the side. I was not close enough to see who it was. Suddenly the person turned around and waved her hand in the air.

A taxi stopped next to her and she disappeared into the night, leaving the umbrella behind. I started walking again. Somehow I felt like this was someone that I knew. For a minuet I thought it was him.

I heard the clicks of shoes and looked up to see another person walk to me. It was a man. His face was looking down and the hair dark and thick. He seemed to be in his own world so he didn't notice me. His suits were soaking wet and his black shirt seemed to be pressed up against his chest.

With every step we became closer and closer and I could see him better with every second. The streets lights lightened him up for only 5 seconds each so he always disappeared for few seconds while he walked passed them.

He didn't have any umbrella and he had his hands down in his pockets. I stopped. What was that hanging from his pocket? It was something red.

I was feeling chilly but now I couldn't feel anything. He was ten steps away from me and all I needed to see was his face.

It was like he sensed that he was being watched because he started to slow down. And then he did it.

He looked up.

There we stood in the rain, two years later. Looking each other in the eyes ,both just as broken like the first time we met.

But now by each other.
