Chapter 1

I love the way he looks at me. I love the endless amount of film we have taken . I love how we talk about anything but nothing and sit on the rooftop watching the sun slowly rise from its peak. To say the least, I miss it. I miss it so damn much.

Your beautiful, straight teeth always showing when I am around. Your golden eyes that take my breath away. Your small beard that I always joke about . How you could lift me up with one arm , as if I weigh nothing . How you told me I was beautiful ,and how you still remind me of how lucky I am. I miss you Alexander, so damn much.

The Last picture of him and I lays on my dry palm as I study it closely. I stare at it, every aspect of it, trying to remember every small detail .

Forever wishing he was here, to hold me when I was down. So, when I was done with all the responsibilities of work , I could be reminded how to live.

Our love is different , spectacular , funny . Something I enjoy to soak in every day.

I stare at the picture and your dimple, deep in your left check , that shows only when you really smile. I stare at how gorgeous your dirty blonde , wavy hair was , barely ever brushed , but just enough to look good . Just enough to make about twenty girls fall head over heels for.

His golden eyes, leaking out happy tears, practically screamed "I'm happy". His rosy cheeks, redder than a tomato .
That morning he was laughing so hard ,because he scared the living shit out of me. I had fell asleep and so he decided the best way to wake me up was with a air horn . I swear I was deaf for a few moments . And I swear I could've killed someone .

In the picture I lay there on his firm chest, covered in my white comforter. Our matching star-wars T-shirts ,his parents bought us on our two year ,hung loosely on our torsos . Even more perfectly on your muscles. Me looking up at you, my auburn hair loosely braided , eyes warm and ice blue, while I stick my pink tongue out, showing a little bit of my pearly ,white teeth.

I smile as I think back to that day, the day before Alexander left to go to his first mission in the military.

The night before that picture I was sobbing in my bathroom, my heart was shattering. I wouldn't get to see him for the next nine months.

I suddenly heard a noise, but thought nothing of it.

Next thing I know I was drenched with water, I slowly turned around, about to kick someone's ass, but then I see its just Alexander, looking as fine as ever.

He stood there with two water guns, a blue and pink one .He slid the pink one towards me, almost challengingly. Slowly, started to feel my heart warm, I reached for the other gun he slid towards me and squirted him , over and over again .Our laughs and childish screams rung through the empty house as we compete with each other.

When I finally got him again he whispered, playfully, "that's it", and started to run after me. Big mistake for him , I'm the captain of the track team - I actually beat him once or twice, in which I never let him forget.
When he tried to catch me I ran outside into my large and colorful backyard, feeling the warm air softly embrace my bare skin.

He was still running, and picked me up, swiftly, when I started to slow down . I laughed so hard pain shot through my ribs at each clench to laugh . He kissed me lightly on my cheek as he started to set me down on the short, green grass, our chuckles still present . His smile instantly made my heart bump against my chest, harder each thump. He stares at me with those gorgeous eyes and says,

"Promise me you won't waste too many more tears when I'm gone ? I love you Annalise . Don't ever forget that . I am coming back ."

My eyes widened , not expecting something so deep and heart-warming . I hugged him ,not caring that were both still soaking wet.
