John's POV
It had been a year and 7 months since the crash, and Alex still won't let me drive. I dont get it, I wasn't the one who ran into a car. Herc finally proposed to Laf and today is there wedding! They moved out so Alex and I moved into a small apartment. It's not the nicest but it's close to Alex's work. He has become really protective ever since the crash. I don't blame him, mainly because he spends more time with me. I walked into the bedroom seeing Alex asleep half dressed on the bed. I walked over to him, kissed his head, and put the blanket over him. I decided to lay next to him, but not bother him. I started to drift off to sleep, until I remembered it was Herc and Laf's wedding.
"Lex! Wake up! We're late!" I yelled. He slowly sat up.
"What?" He says, wiping his eyes.
"The wedding!! Get dressed!" He sets up and gets ready. I get dressed in a button up shirt and some nicer pants. When I get in the kitchen I make two pieces of toast. One for me and one for Alex. When he gets in the kitchen he takes the toast and kisses my cheek. We get to the car and he starts to drive. When we get there, we are greeted by Eliza and Maria. We get to our seats and wait for the wedding to start. There was a beautiful arch with flowers and vines around it. Soon enough the wedding started and Alex took my hand. We watched the ceremony and after Herc and Laf came to us.
"Congrats guys!!" Alex said.
"Thank you!" They said in unison. Herc's arm is wrapped around Laf's waist. They looked so happy and in love. I wanted that for Alex and I. After a little bit of talking I left Alex with them. I looked for Eliza. I found her with Maria. They started dating a few months ago after Maria got out of an abusive relationship.
"Hey Eliza can I talk to you?" I asked her. She nodded and followed me to a table in the corner.
"So I need to ask you something."
"Okay... what about."
"It's about Alex... I want to propose but I need help. Could you help me?" Her face lit up and she squealed.
"Shhhhh! You are the only one who knows!!" She nodded.
"What do you need my help for?"
"Ring picking, the actually proposal and most of the details." She nodded again. She got up and hugged me and we separated. I went back to Alex and we left. He drove us home and I couldn't stop thinking about the wedding.
"Hey Alex?"
"Mhm?"
"You know that could be us. We could be getting married."
"I know... but do you want that? I mean of course I want to marry you but what if you or I have to move again? I don't want to ruin your life."
"Look Alex I don't care about leaving. I would follow you to the ends of the earth. I love you." He put a hand on my shoulder and I kissed his cheek. When we got home we both got changed into sweatpants and tee shirts. I let Alex start a movie and I start to bake cookies. I let them bake and I come cuddle with Alex. After a while we started to kiss until the cookies were done. He got the cookies and brought me some cookies and chocolate milk. We spent the rest of the night cuddled on the couch and we fell asleep with cookies on us, wrapped in each other's arms.
Sorry this is so bad! I am moving so I won't be posting as regularly. I hope that I will regain focus and insperation soon so I can keep writing.
