2006
You're sitting at home, looking through your yearbook. It's the new one for your junior year. You turn to the page that has the Bests of each class. Class clown, Jimmy Brown. Best hair, Andrea Lyons. And cutest couple, you and Mark. Mark is wonderful, you couldn't be more happy than you have in the past couple years with him. No couple in school has lasted as long as you two have. Yours is the relationship others aspire for.
You close the book and lay on your back, looking up at the ceiling fan, on your bed. Your mind is filled with all the happy memories you two have shared. The time he took you on a picnic at the park. When he came over when your parents were out of town and you two just played with slinkys in the stairs the whole time. The time he broke his arm and you stayed with him at the hospital. Some memories are happier than others, but as a whole, the past two years have been great.
Today was your two year anniversary. It's a Saturday and Mark told you he has a surprise planned. Of course, you've lost count of how many times he's told you that. He's always got a surprise planned.
As you're lost in thought, you hear a tapping on your window. The noise pulls you out of your daydreams and back to reality. You go over to your window and look through the curtains, your face lights up with a smile. You quickly open your window and he climbs in. "Mark, what the hell are you doing here?" you asked him, still smiling. "I came to see you," he said struggling to pull himself through the window. Good thing your parents aren't home. If they knew he was here, they wouldn't be too happy.
He gets one foot in and struggles getting the other inside. When he does, it's in a motion too quick for him to control, and he falls on top of you. You both laugh together as he stands up. He grabs your hand and helps you to your feet. "Sorry," he says. "Gosh, Mark. You're so clumsy. I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive you," you joke. "How about if I give you your surprise?" he says. Your face instantly lights up, "I could consider." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small black bow with a white bow tied around it. He holds it out to you.
You slowly untie the bow and allow the ribbon to fall to the floor. You flip open the box, revealing a beautiful silver ring. Two hearts creating an infinity sign with an engraving on the inside of the ring that read, "always & forever." "Mark, this is beautiful," you tell him with tears in your eyes. "It's a promise ring. Because I promise I will love you from the day you put that on your finger to the day I replace it with another one and forever and always," his words make a tear fall down your cheek. "I love you so much, Mark." "I love you, too, (F/n)."
Hey guys! Sorry this was short. I need your help. I've written the official first chapter of my new fanfic. Yes, the one I posted the preview of. I need help coming up with a title. I was thinking "When the Games End." But I'm not sure, so I want your opinion. Tell me in the comments what you guys think.
And as always, I will see you in the next chapter.
Bye bye!
