"I am so proud of you! You did it, Victoria!" My mom says engulfing me into a bear hug. I laugh, and squeeze back just as hard. I had just finished my graduation from high school, and I am more than ready to start really living life.

I was excepted into Harvard, on a engineering scholarship, and I cannot wait.

"Okay. Okay, mom. Mom! You're cutting off my air supply." I squeeze out each word with my last breath.

She let go of me and wiped her running mascara, and took a step back. "Honey, you can't blame me. Besides, I had to give a congratulatory hug, from two."

Instantly reminding me of my dads recent passing, and I shake my head trying to rid any negative thoughts.

"He's just as much, if not more, proud of who you've become. You have so much ahead of you. You're gonna make a difference in the world. I just know it." She says holding my hands.

"Thank you mom. I love you so much." I say wiping an escaped tear from her eye.

"I love you too, my little love bug." We embrace once more before she pulled away, and started gathering her stuff together.

"Well honey. Whenever it is you get home, I have a big peanut butter truffle waiting for you in the fridge. Please be careful. I love you." She says Before clambering into her car.

I wave goodbye to her, and walk back over to my boyfriend of three years, Aaron. He graduated last year.

We plan on going on a drive out to our favorite spot in this meadow, with champaign and a picnic. To celebrate this achievement.

I'm so excited to be alive right now.

He picks me up and swings me in his arms, holding a long awaited kiss.

"You're so mature. Graduating, and getting your shit together. I am so proud of you and am unworthy of the title 'Victoria's Boyfriend.' Thank you so much for the years you have given me, and I plan on spending plenty more with you. You are the sun of my life, and" ,he gets onto one knees and pulls out a promise ring, "I promise to forever stay loyal to you." At that point I was in tears, as he slipped the silver band onto my left finger, and engraved is the simple words 'I Promise.'

"Aaron. You're the love of my life. I love you so entirely much." I mutter into his neck.

In his truck, I place my gown, and cap, then head to the front seat. I climb in, making sure to buckle my seat belt.

Making sure to be safe.

I have to tell him. If not now, then when? I'm pretty sure I'm ready. Yes, I am positive I am ready.

Aaron places his hand on my upper thigh, and I start to play with his hair, as we pull on to the Main Street.

"Babe?" He smiles and replies in a hum.

"I think I'm ready." His face contorts together in confusion, "ready for what?"

I take in a deep breath, and place a small kiss on his earlobe, "I think I'm ready to give myself to you. I want you to have my virginity." I laid my head on his shoulder, and can hear his breath quicken.

"Are you sure? I mean, I'm not questioning you. You said you're ready, and I trust that. I'll make it great. I'll set up candles, and music, then we'll have.."

"No, Aaron. Tonight. Just you and me. Nothing special, except your heartbeat against mine." I say cutting off his rambling and sit up straight.

His face turns pinkish, and he gives a small smile, "okay."

" I was lost. Depressed. Thinking I'd never make it out of high school alive, but I did, today. With my moms support, and my dad watching over me, and you holding my heart. Things are great. I'm so thankful for all I have in my life. Everyone that made me into the girl I am today, everything is so content and, HOLY SHI-.."

In the middle of my speech to Aaron, a car pulled into the highway, without checking.

Slamming into the small truck, crumpling the door into my body.

In the small seconds I had left, I saw glass pieces fly around me. The truck was rolling over and over. Blood spurting everywhere, and Aaron's spine sticking out of his neck.

Then once everything had stopped, we were upside down, and the only thing holding us in the seat is the seat belt.

My dad, and Aaron standing beside each other holding out their hands.

Then it was black.
