Ava sat in the kitchen pondering the latest events. How could her life have possibly become so difficult in a matter of seconds? I mean, just an hour ago everything was fine. Well maybe not FINE, but they were a heck of a lot better than they are now. She continued to stare out into space as she reflected back on the past hour.
Everything was perfectly normal as she and Simon were walking back up into the house; but suddenly he stopped. Oh no! she thought to herself, wondering what he was about to say. He took her hands and asked her something. She listened intently until she heard the words, "Would you marry me?" come from his mouth. It was as if her whole world stopped. She saw his lips moving, but everything after that sentence just came out in a blur. But suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Nikki come up and pull him away. She had said something to her, but her mind still wasn't functioning correctly. So she just stood on the steps in utter shock. As her mind began to reel again, she slowly moved up the steps toward the house when she heard a recognizable voice calling her name. She turned around and saw Johnny frantically running toward her.
She still sat in the kitchen, repeating Johnny's words over and over again in her head. I can't believe he still loves me! She said to herself after about the fourth time of hearing his words. But more importantly she thought, do I still love him? She flashed back to all the wonderful times they'd had living together. Dancing with him under the moonlight, man, he was a great dancer, sitting on the beach, just talking to him. They laughed and smiled man he's got a great smile and just truly enjoyed being together. These thoughts caused her to really consider that being with Johnny would make her happy. But then a not so great memory came to mind, when she found out that he cheated on her. She was so heartbroken. She truly loved him, but sometimes you don't know what you've got til it's gone. But the melancholy feelings soon disappeared when she realized how sorry he was. She remembered dancing under the moonlight, close to him. She felt so safe, she always feels safe when she's around him. Like when she couldn't sleep, all she had to do was knock on his door and he was there for her. He really loves me doesn't he? She thought.
