Thanking a Rose
I was walking down the dirt path that would take me to the one place where I knew I could think. It was a little pond surrounded by trees. It was beautiful in the sun. There was this one piling of rocks near the shore that I loved to sit on and just think. You may wonder what I was thinking about; well it all started this morning…
Flashback
I was running late today cause my alarm clock decided not to work right. So here I was almost running into the building of where I work. When I clocked in I was over half an hour late. My boss of coarse being the asshole he is saw me come in late and FIRED ME. Can you believe it? He fired me. I have never been late a day in my life and he decides to get rid of me. The nerve of that guy.
Then after that my boyfriend calls me and asks me to meet him at the park so I think to myself "ok what else could go wrong" and then went to go see him. When I got there I saw him and smiled we had been together for 6 months now. I thought for sure that he would eventually purpose to me. But when I walked over to him he had a sad look in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked as soon as I was in ear shot. I couldn't imagine what could be wrong.
There was a pause then he spoke. "Listen I need to talk to you. Come sit down with me."
I saw a little wary but I complied and sat next him on a park bench. There was another pause before he spoke again.
"Ok this is hard to say but…" I waited for him to continue but he didn't.
"What is it. You know you can tell me anything." I smiled reassuringly. Hoping he would take comfort from my smile and continue.
After a deep breath he did. "I think we should see other people."
I was absolutely stunned. I thought he loved me. Every time he had told me he loved he had lied. I couldn't believe it.
I got up off the bench and said "I guess if you think that's best." Then walked away with tears in my eyes.
End of Flashback
So here I am sitting here thinking about my problems. Normally when I came here I could find an answer to all my problems, but not today I guess.
So I got up and took one last look around before I left. But before I left I saw one lone rose in a bush. When I saw the rose I immediately knew the answer to my problems.
I knew that even though I lost my job and am alone now that I could get through it. And I have that rose to thank.
