The Accident
I sat in my bed trying to fall asleep. The room was cool and I felt eyes staring at me... watching me. I couldn't give in to the creature. I had to fall ignore it and go to sleep. A million thoughts were racing through my mind. I thought about what this creature was... I thought about where it came from... I thought about my late husband and daughter... I thought about the accident that happened years ago. Suddenly the noises stopped. I couldn't help but look up and there it was watching me... about to attack me and kill me. Then the alarm clock went off.
I sat up out of my empty bed. It's been ever since the... well... accident that took Steve and Ava's life. I was haunted by the memories . Everywhere I would look I would see them doing simple things like painting a picture or cooking dinner. Even though it had been years since the accident she could always see them. I felt comfort from seeing them at first but now it is a reminder of what I'm missing out on everyday. I decided to finally get out of bed after 15 minutes of feeling sorry for myself. I had multiple texts from friends and family from over the years. I never respond to them... or even read them for that matter. I didn't want to read them because I knew what they were about. They were all the "I'm sorry" and "Sending you prayers". I felt like I couldn't take it and I never have even thought about opening them because I was afraid the memories would flood back from the tragic day. Suddenly I see that my new boyfriend Dave was texting me. He wanted to meet me for lunch and I agreed. He was the only person I talked too. We have been dating for about a year and we have always been really close. When I was younger I was in the same class as him. We have basically grown up together. Finally he decided to ask me out and we have been in love ever since. I got dressed in a vibrant peach dress and put my long brown hair up in a bun. Since we leaved in a small town I decided I could walk, the restaurant was right down the street. I arrived at the restaurant and I saw Dave dressed in a nice suit. I walked over and sat down at the table.
"Hey beautiful" he said to me and pulled me into a kiss.
"Hey" I responded. When I was with Dave I couldn't help but smile and forget about my past. He was the only person who made me feel safe and feel loved. We ordered our food and talked about many things like music, sports, food, practically anything.
"So babe, I wanted to ask you something." Dave said to me. I looked deep into his hazel eyes and nodded my head. "I thought about moving into a new house... and I wanted to ask you if you wanted to move in with me?" I had to process what he said but then I said "Of course"
At first he looked at me and he looked shocked that I said yes but then he had a look of excitement wash over his face.
