It had been over two years, and she still expected him to walk through the door. In her heart she knew he wasn't coming back. She remembers the day that changed her life forever as though it happened just yesterday.
They had just left his parent's house and were on their way home when out of nowhere, a truck swerved to the other lane of the highway. They didn't notice it until it was too late.
The next thing she remembered was hearing shuffling feet and quiet chatter before falling asleep again.
Two and a half weeks had passed and she finally opened her eyes. She saw her friends and family on one side of the room and his friends and family on the other. She moaned in pain when she finally noticed the throbbing in her arm and head. The three people that rushed to her side were the only three in the room that didn't 1.) blame her for his death or 2.) hate him for her being injured.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Allison, you and Dan..." one of the guys started, but just as soon as he started, the room became a room full of hurt or angry people who were all looking for someone to place all the blame on.
For her family, it was the love of her life, Danny Jones.
For his family, it was the girl who made their son lose sight of his goals.
Neither side was right because neither side knew how much they loved one another and how much they meant to each other. They were planning to get married.
Danny had proposed to her on stage in front of millions of people. They were on their way home from his parent's house after telling them the news.
Allison had excused herself to "freshen up" and as she was about to leave the bathroom, she overheard his parents talking in the hallway.
She had known for months that his parents didn't like her. They had made that perfectly clear. Danny didn't see it though. Everytime Allison tried to tell him, he would say that she just needed to get used to the fact that he wasn't her little boy anymore and that once she understood that, then all would be well.
On the long drive home, it was quiet until Allison couldn't stand the silence any longer.
