{~Zach's POV~}
I awoke with the earth as the bright sun shone through my window. I sighed. It's my day off of work and was hoping to have caught up on some sleep. Guess it'd have to wait. I got out of bed to my familiar surroundings and wasted no time leaving the room.
I walked downstairs to my quaint house. It was a pretty decent house for someone who worked as a lamplighter..
I decided to skip breakfast and just go with a cup of joe.By the time I was finished with my coffee, I decided to throw on a plain shirt and jeans. I walked outside my house to my yard. I took a moment to look around. Every thing was so peaceful. No neighbors, noisy cars or city noises. Out in the country, it was just you and the environment. I sat down at my crafting table and worked more with my wood sculptures. I intended to paint them one day, I just couldn't bring myself to do it ever since Alex..
{~Flashback~}
We were sitting on a bench in the park. Alex and I were admiring all the dog walkers, musicians and wonderful weather. And that's when we noticed a man with a canvas and painting materials. He seemed very focused on his painting of the park in front of him. And than Alex spoke out.
"I've always loved paintings." She spoke as she smiled at the beautiful scenery in front of her.
"Oh yeah?" I responded curiously.
"Oh yes. I love looking at them. But I love to paint ad well. All it takes is some inspiration." She spoke softly.
"Well I know what my inspiration is." I said looking at her and smiling.
She looked back at me and smiled embarrassingly.
She scooted closer to me and kissed me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I held her waist. Before we could stop it, We were sliding off the bench and were on the ground. She fell on top of me and we burst out laughing.
"Oh" Alex said still laughing. "I love you." She laughed.I still thought about that day from time to time. I wondered if she still painted. I wonder if she thinks about me as well. I decided to call it quits for the day and headed back inside. I might as well calm my mind down otherwise I might drive myself insane.

A few hours later...I was laying down on my bed, my brown hair around me. There was yet again, another knock at my door.
I groaned slightly. "Who is it?" I mumbled sitting up.
"It's just me darling." Replied Marcus opening the door.
I put on a smile. I watched as he came over to my bed.
"How are you sweetie?" He asked leaning down to be eye level with me.
"I'm okay." I replied, ignoring the name he called me.
"Just making sure." He said kissing my hand.
I fake giggled. I allowed him to do these things. I knew marrying was the smart option. At least he loved me.
He sat on the bed with me and stroked my hair.
"You are the most beautiful girl." He said admiringly.
Whence said that, All I saw was Zach.
"T-thank you." I responded quietly.
He then got up and walked towards the door. "I love you." He spoke, smiling.
I swear my heart stopped. It's as if my heart was a music box and it played for only certain people. I listened to my heart for a minute to see if I could hear music. When I didn't hear anything, I assumed the worst. I didn't love him. My heart didn't play for him. But I knew who it did play for. It played for Zach. At least it did a few years ago..
Without thinking I blabbed this out.
"May I go and take care of a few things?" I asked.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Uh..M-may I go and take care of a few things? Out of town? I responded awkwardly.
"Yes sweetie of course." He said leaning down once more.
He touched my cheek and I shivered.
"Take care of anything." He said reassuringly.
"Thank you." I responded, hiding my excitement.
He smiled, got up and left the room.
When he was gone, I fell back on my bed. What was I doing? I was going out of town to see Zach. I held my heart which was beating at a fast pace. I took a few deep breathes and sat up.
"I'm gonna go see Zach..." I said to myself, trying to get my mind back together.
