Chapter 10
It's Not Over
My mom let my Auntie Breea come visit at our house so we could have a sort-of family reunion. Auntie Breea commented on my catch of a boyfriend, and we all had a good time.
So here we are, at a fancy restaurant called Basies, on the last night of spring break, and Jason says that he has an announcement. He stands up, and says, "I have been dating Alondra for a little over half a year now, and I love her and her family," He points at my mom and Auntie Breea as I blush. "so much." He turns to me, gets down on one knee, pulls a little black box out of his pocket, and takes my hand. "Alondra Smith," he says adoringly, "We've been through a lot together, and I love you more than my own life. I know I will never love anyone else as long as I live. Will you marry me?" As I put my hand over my mouth, and tears start streaming down my face, he opens the little black box. Inside, sitting on a bed of satin, is a beautiful diamond ring in the shape of a heart. "No weddings until after college of course." Jason adds. I uncover my mouth, and look at Jason, then I look around. Everyone in the restaurant is staring at us. "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" I exclaim, tears of joy pouring down my face.
Jason slid the ring onto my ring finger, it was a perfect fit. "It's in the shape of a heart," Jason said, staring at my face, "So that whenever you look at it you will know that my heart is and always will be yours." I threw my arms around him and kissed him
My mother cleared her throat, and I remembered that we weren't alone. "Mom, did you know about this?" My mom smiled, and nodded her head. "I've known for days." She said. Normally my mother could never keep a secret that big all to herself. Oh well, Jason was all mine forever!
The next day at school a lot of people asked me about the ring, and who my fiancé was. I told them, and they all stared at the ring jealously. They should be jealous. The most perfect man in the world was mine, I felt like I could sing! But I wasn't going to; my singing would ruin the moment. After school, my mom wasn't home yet, and Jason started moving his things in, because mom said he could move in with us, she said she could use a little more protection.
He was going to stay in the guest bedroom down the hall from mine. This was going to be so great! While Jason was getting his new room set up, I was watching the news. Claire Jones, from fox 4 news, said that there had been an attack in Albany, New York's capitol. There were three men found barely alive with their shirts ripped off and claw marks on their back extending from their right shoulder to their left hip.
I screamed, hugged my knees, and started to shake. Jason ran downstairs saying, "what's wrong?" He saw the TV, gasped, and switched it off. Jason wrapped his arms tightly around me, and I just kept saying, "It's not over, it's not over, it's not over."
