-Daniel-
You're an Angel.
-Eric-
I woke up wondering why I was living with an Angel and a Demon... They seemed so calm. Elly really loved the sight of Daniel... Should I be worried? No, I trust her. We're engaged after all.
-Elly-
I start making breakfast and call down the boys. So how did you sleep Daniel? "My bed felt empty." He replied. What? You're not use to the feeling? "No, not at all." I very much doubt that. You couldn't of slept with that many girls? I said this with a hurt face. "I slept with quite a bit of them." Did you try to look for me? "Didn't see the point. You're happy with Eric anyways." Yeah! Of course! After saying that I force a smile on my face. Trying to keep my jealousy inside. So I see that you got a tattoo while you were gone. "I got two actually" He lift his shirt and on his side is a scripture. What does it mean? "ભુલી ગયા ક્યારેય... Never Forget" ((It's Gujarati))
"Well I better head to my apartment, she's waiting for me" says Daniel. Who? "My girlfriend" Did you cheat on her? He proceeds to walk out without answering me and gets into the car Julian fixed in his memory. He drives off. I enter the house and find his hoodie. Inside was an engagement ring that really made me want to cry. He would soon propose to his "girlfriend".
-Daniel-
I walk into the apartment and see Lisa. She was cooking something that smelled delicious. I quickly go to give her a kiss and say I love you. I later walk into our room and proceed to empty out my pockets but the one thing I held most precious wasn't in there. Me and her we're going through a hard time. She didn't like the fact that I didn't tell her anything anymore especially about my past. I felt like she didn't love me anymore. That didn't matter at the moment I had to get it back.
I made a quick drive and opened the door quickly. Where's my hoodie? Elly responded with the one thing I didn't want to hear most. "Why, does it have your ring?" Ring? What ring? I'm looking for my fathers lighter. The engraved one remember? The one he gave to me when he passed? "Oh uh? I'm so so sorry I thought you meant this." She pulls out a ring and asks me why I had one. That's not mine. It's from a close friend named Derik. He asked me to hold it for him because his girlfriend likes to clean the house a lot and usually finds things. "I'm so sorry. How about you come back later and we all can watch a movie here?" Sure. I'll see you soon.
On the drive home I looked at the ring and read the words engraved into it. "I Will Never Stop Loving You Elly." I was so deep in love with her but had no way to tell her. I just needed her to know.
-Julian-
Hey Elly. "Why is Daniel hiding a ring for his friend?" She said. The one with the small diamonds on the rim and the big one in the middle? "Yeah, how did you know?" It's his. "Why he lie to me about it?" Elly, I'm honestly completely fucked right now. It's his ring for you, he bought it before he died. I was there. It's about time you know...
-Elly-
Hey Eric, Julian and the girls are here can you get popcorn at the store? Daniel should be here soon as well. "Sure sweety"
As the night goes on I hear a knock I open the door and see that it's Daniel. "Hey, I brought popcorn. You always asked me to get it during movie night and it just became a habit." Thanks but we need to talk. I grab his hand and lead him into one of the rooms. I know the ring was for me.
-Daniel-
I love you, and the fact that you're with Eric bothers me but I have to accept it. It's always going to end the same way for me. What I am doesn't tend to be good. "I love you too." She slowly kisses me as we start to fall over on the bed. But before the fun could start we hear a knock at the door. I wonder who it could be...
