Chapter 1: Flashbacks.

A Flashback to Valentine's Day.

Rob proposed. EEKK it was so exciting. He had everyone say something to me and Chelsea was my quote on quote date. Now it was my turn for his surprise. I actually had something planned thanks to my dad. My father and I had discussed it but I didn't know he would actually go through with it. I had found out that he did through the course of the night up in the Eye's capsule.

I still had Rob's hands in mine and I helped him into the car just as Chelsea had done to me. I handed our driver a piece of paper with the place we needed to be on it. He nodded and we were back on the road. It was about a half hour drive. Than I would drive the rest of the way since I didn't have to think twice about Rob searching through the driver's mind to see where I was taking him.

I couldn't stop looking at the ring. I swore my life with him was just one big dream that any moment now I would wake up, back home in Gold Coast. There was no way that this could EVER be a dream. I mean come on I had gotten stabbed and punched. Usually if you get hurt you wake up…right? Why was I contemplating this? Couldn't I just be happy to know that I am going to spend the rest of my life with a man that I have loved for years but hadn't known up until about two months ago? "Cecilia…" he said softly almost whispering so low that I couldn't hear him. "I'm here and trust me you're not dreaming."

"It's just so hard for me to believe you are here, I'm sorry." I knew he couldn't see what I was doing but he probably knew. I was looking down at my hands awkwardly, kind of embarrassed.

"It's okay Cecilia. I wish I could see you right now because I know you need comforting. But I love you and I wish you did realize that none of this is a dream."

"I know. I will try to realize." The driver pulled up and the new Dodge Venom my dad had bought me was waiting in my parent's driveway. "Okay Rob we are almost there…however we have to switch cars." He nodded and I got out to open the door for him. "Thanks Henry. Have a safe drive home."

I grabbed Rob's hands and lead him to my new car. I got in on the other side and turned the car on and started to drive down the street. We drove listening to music and I was singing along. It took ten minutes to get to where we needed to be and then I stopped the car. I ran over to the other side and opened his door. I grabbed his hand and got him out of the car.

Rob's POV (Flashback on Valentine's Day…well Night)

I had no clue where Cecilia was taking me. I searched her thoughts and nothing…just songs. Her singing A Heart Full of Love. She would then switch to Without You. Then to On My Own and A Little Fall of Rain. I sometimes felt like I was holding her back from all the things she could do. She has a voice of an angel and what was she doing with her life? Spending it with me. I couldn't do that to her but I couldn't just leave her. Maybe I should just leave her life up to her and not worry about whether or not I am holding her behind. She would decipher that on her own she was smarter than not to.

I got out of the car and handed her my hands. She closed the door behind me and she backed me up against the car. I could read every sense she was feeling. Love, Passion, and yet sadness. Oddly enough I understood why. I felt that she thought I was angry with her. "Cecilia?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I take this off yet?"

"Uh um yes sure I guess. I'm sorry my present isn't as great as yours was." I took the blindfold off and she was faced the other way. She had found a private park. It was pitch black only a few street lights and the lights to her car where still on. The stars filled the night sky it was…perfect. What else could be more perfect than looking at her and this perfect place that she had found? She looked down at her hands and I couldn't help but want to know what she was thinking.

"Cecilia…"

"Hmm?"

"Please tell me what is wrong. I have no clue why you are feeling so distant but please talk to me. Are things being rushed? Do you regret saying yes to marrying me? Because if you do than please don't lead things on anymore…I was hurt once badly and if I am lead on I couldn't take it…Cecilia you have to answer me on this."

"Rob…it's just…things…I…I can't. It's possibly because I feel pressure. I love you Rob but…I just can't marry you…not now anyway. I'm sorry I really am. I just…just can't."
