Swear It Again

I sneezed as I set the box down all of these boxes were filled with nothing but old papers. Spring Cleaning was rough but it had to be done. I looked through a big box coming across a small shoebox I didn't even know was there. I talked to myself "God! What the hell did I do? Just throw all my junk in boxes so I could just go through it throwing it all out?" I chuckled at myself. I usually did every time I talked to myself. I looked down at the lid on the box opening it. I saw pictures, letters and memories of a life I once knew. I couldn't believe it I thought I lost this stuff from moving a lot I was relieved I hadn't though. I chuckle looking at some of the pictures, everyone laughing and happy. I found some letters at the bottom of the box I opened one reading it.

Dear Shelby,
Thanks for the birthday card it was so sweet that you remembered. I miss you a lot things are just so hectic right now. I'm still single though there is someone I'm interested in, surprisingly enough! I hope you're doing okay, I heard about your little girl being born, Sophie told me at the reunion which I'm sorry you missed also. Congrats though, you're going to be a great mom. I hope all is well, write back please. I'll write again as soon as I possibly can!
Love,
Daisy
P.S. I saw Scott recently, doesn't look so good.
A teardrop fell from my eye think about Daisy, I wish that I had written to everyone more often, or even thought about it. All of these people help me through the roughest time in my life Peter, Sophie, Daisy…Scott. Just thinking about him made me cry a little more, even though I forced myself to block him out no matter how hard it was. I found another letter under Daisy's opening it after drying my eyes.

Shelby,
I heard about your little girl being born, I'm happy for you. I wish I'd seen you at the reunion though I miss you. I know we weren't on good terms after our last confrontation, but I hope someday we could someday be friends again. I'll miss you always I love you.
Scott
I couldn't take it anymore, I put everything back in the box where I got it from, and I then came across one last picture before I closed it. I will always miss him I look at our happy faces in the picture when I stuffed it back in the box setting it down, I wonder what happened to them all the letters were about 6 years old. I walk upstairs to take a break I lay down on the couch closing my eyes a minute when everything came back to me.

"Will you marry me?" I froze up I couldn't answer him. Was I even ready for marriage? I knew that I loved him and that I couldn't love anyone as much as him but could I really settle down?
"I uh…I can't Scott" I stuttered, that was all I could say.
"What? Why?" he asked me I didn't know the answers to.
"I don't know Scott! I just don't know if I'm ready for that yet! Things are happening so fast."
"What do you mean things are happening so fast? We've been together for three years, I want to be with you forever."
I was crying now and just whispered to him "I'm sorry, I just can't I don't know how to explain it. I can't right now. Please understand."
Scott was crying also he just turned around walking off I fell to my knees crying. It wasn't the last time we were together but it's what started it all.
**End Of Flashback**
"Mommy?" I heard a little girl's voice she looked down at me worried. I sat up not realizing that I had been crying. She looked at me worried "What's wrong mommy?" I shook my head chuckling "It's nothing sweetie, mommy just watched a sad movie earlier and I fell asleep to It." she smiled at me "Okay!" "So, how was school today?" she sat on my lap and we talked about how school was.
