But thank you for reading.)**
(Sorry for the mess, I WILL finish the story, i'm not sure when, but it will have an ending at least.)
A/N: I really should be writing my other story instead of writing a new one.
I can't help writing 'romance' based stuff, this one has it's 'cheesy' moments.
Mike looked at her longingly and kissed her goodbye.
He would be leaving her as his work's company had opened a new office place and needed people to train others. Mike was one of the people sent. The trip was meant to last 7 weeks but he had discussed a deal with his boss so that he would be able to leave a week early. This was just so he could surprise his girlfriend of 3 years with a marriage proposal. It was fairly cheesy idea but he knew Bella would love it. As soon as he got to the apartment flat that his worked had rented for him, he would call the florists and have 7 roses sent to her everyday until the day he arrived back.
From the doorway he looked at her tearing eyes and decided he couldn't leave her with just a kiss. He walked back, gave her a longer hug than the one he just gave her and gave her a few more, much tender kisses. With her head on his shoulder and her arms on his chest, he held her tighter and whispered in her ear, "I love you." She was still clutching onto him. Behind her back, he held up his wrist and looked at his watch. 6:59pm, it would take him 3 hours to drive up but staying with Bella right here was worth the lack of sleep for the 5:30am wake up call that was waiting for him.
"Bella", he said, gently grabbing her by the arms and pulling her in front of him, "Bella, remember I love you. Whatever happens, I'm always there for you." He wiped away the tears still falling down on her face, he kissed her one last time and walked.

She watched him walk to his car in the pouring rain and watched as he waved from the car and drive off. Closing the door, she went into their shared room and found her favourite jumper of his and held it up to her nose, inhaling his scent.
Her phone beeped with a message. "I miss you already X"
She smiled and decided she would go watch some t.v to distract herself.
The day before, she had sent Mike a letter, just a little note. She still believed in writing letters even though the internet was so much easier to keep in contact. The letter would arrive the next day, in time for Mike's arrival.
.......................
Mike put the phone down onto the passenger's seat, traffic was horrible and the rain didn't help. The roads were starting to get slippery and it was hard to see the road even with the windscreen wipers working at their fastest speed. He had already passed a minor accident earlier and a few near crashes. Drivers were beeping their horns but that didn't speed up the traffic any more.
Waiting another 20minutes, the traffic got much better, though the same couldn't be said for the weather. Only halfway through the drive, the weather got much worse. It started to thunder with flashes of lightning and in another bout of traffic Mike decided to text Bella again. This time it eased up quicker but it didn't give a slightly distracted Mike time to fully pick up his phone when an oncoming car who couldn't see him through the heavy rain headed towards his car. Just as the driver did, the brakes were quicly pressed but it was too late. Mike didn't see it coming.
........................
Her day had started early because she wanted to spend as much time as she could with Mike before he left for his trip. Mike had only been gone for just under an hour and decided she would just sleep a little, he had promised he would call when he arrived, and she assumed that would wake her up.
The sky was dark by the time she woke up and went to check her phone. No missed calls or any messages. This was odd. It was midnight, Mike would have gotten there by now. The only possible explanation was that he was lost or in really bad traffic. She sent him a text to check he was fine, "Hey, i'm just seeing how u r. x"
Walking to the kitchen to make a sandwich to snack on, she hadn't really eaten the whole day but it was too late to have a big meal.
Her phone rang and Bella ran towards it, Mike calling.
"Hey you..."
........................
"Mike,
When you read this, you should be on your way to the new office or just coming from the first day.
This is just a letter to let you know how much I love you. I loved you from day one when we first met back in Forks High, and to here where we live in Phoenix, I love you just the same and more each day.
Just to let you know that I'm thinking of you.
Love you, as always,
B xxx"
A/N: I do feel a little bad that I killed off Mike. But he had to for this story, and he always bugged me in the books. 7 roses for the 7 weeks he was meant to be on the trip.
Read and review, people! Read and review. Please. Reviews do get answered and everything else is appreciated :)
