Incomplete
Thanks Emmy for the constructive criticism, I will definitely take it into play. Also thanks to everyone who reviewed, without you I wouldn't have an audience to write for.
-Sean, I can't say I'll marry you now. But I do promise that you are the only person I see marrying some day. I love you and nobody can ever change that.
-You don't want to marry me?
-Not today, not tomorrow but some day. Sean, I don't need to marry you now to show you that I love you, don't you think so?
-Emma, I know we're too young to get married, you're right. I'm sorry.
And with that Sean walked away without another word. Emma knew Sean didn't understand. She wanted to marry him but now she just wanted to live life as a teenager. For the rest of the night, Sean didn't come back. Emma went for a midnight stroll to the beach. She thought about Sean's reaction and the thought of it made her really think. She walked for a long time, thinking back about her relationship with Sean. They had come a long way and she knew that if Sean really loved her, he would wait. Emma thought about her coming with Sean and everything she risked for him. Is it true that there is nothing in life that love cannot change? Can love see with it's heart and not with it's mind? Emma wanted to believe that love can change anything. But this was the true test for Sean.
-Hey Sweetie, Where's Emma?
-I don't know. Mom, I just asked Emma to marry me.
-What? Sean you two are too young and…
-Don't worry Mom, she said no anyway.
-But that doesn't mean she doesn't love you.
-Then why did she say no?
-Because she loves you, she knows you both are too young and she knows now would be too soon.
-Then why do I feel like this?
-Well, because you thought she would say yes, but you have to know she loves you even though she said no. You are both young and have your whole lives to get married.
-Mom I think I made a big mistake, I have to find Emma. Mom?
-Yeah?
-Thanks.
-You're Welcome.
Sean ran to go find Emma, he knew he made a big mistake in letting her go like that. He went to look for her at the beach since Emma loved the water. He was right, she was sitting in the sand looking at the water. His Emma. Emma knew Sean was standing behind her, she could sense when Sean was near her.
-So are you ever speaking again?
-Emma, I'm sorry I freaked out and…
-No Sean.
-Ok but just listen I…
-No you listen, Sean how can you walk away denying that I love you.
-Emma, I know and I'm sorry, it's just when you said no I thought you didn't want to spend the rest of your life with me and I want you to be my wife someday. I'm sorry Emma.
-Sean I'm sorry but this time, you'll have to do a lot more than sorry. Like they say actions speak louder than words right?
-But Emma…
-No Sean if you love me as much as you say you do, you'll know.
Emma walked away, she wanted Sean to really show her, to do something for her, like she did for him. This was a test for Sean. This didn't mean they would break up, just that Sean would have to do some major work to make up for what he did. It was clear that Emma loved Sean and she knew he loved her but, it was time Sean did something for her. As she walked away, she smiled because she knew he would eventually come around. If Sean really loved her he would think of something. The next morning came, as usual the sun would creep in from the shades and light up the room. Emma woke up and saw a rose with a note beside her pillow. It said:
Love is life's sweet mystery, can it change the most common place into beauty and splendor? Well my love you're going to have to just find out. Follow the signs and we'll meet at sunrise. Until then, will love be the answer that everyone seeks?
Love Sean
What are the surprises Sean has in stored for Emma? Will Sean pass this test?
