Pov - Rose

My phone rang, I picked up the call.

"Rose, are you there?...."

"Yes tell me, what's the matter.......,"

"Ro.....Rose.........hur............up....."

"Mom........ what's the matter?..... I can't hear you?......"

"Al...... Alan..........."

(It was noisy outside)

I disconnected the call, I couldn't hear what she was trying to say. Was she crying ? Or was it the poor connection of the call. It's hard to tell.

Don't be silly, why would Alan's mom be crying on a special day like this.

I am finally done buying gifts then let's head to Alan's house and meet up with the rest.

Oh..... I can't wait to see the look on his eyes when he sees this.

......Taxi.....

"Where do you want to go Mam "

"Ricky street "

Finally, the most beautiful moment of my life is going to happen soon. I can't wait.

Alan is going to propose to me in a few minutes. It's romantic to get a proposal on your birthday. This weird feeling in my heart. When I think about him holding a ring and asking

"Rose, Will you marry me?"

It was supposed to be surprise but my ears heard his conversation with his mom yesterday.
So I better put up a good act. But it is going hard to act surprise when you already know the surprise.

I paid the taxi driver.

Rang the door bell. The door was already open, I realised one step forward and the proposal awaits, I took a deep breath and prepare to react. I opened the door and went forward, Mom hugged me.

I heard her sobbing as she hugged me tightly, tears fell down from her eyes.

What's going on? Why isn't everything set for the birthday? Why is everything messy? Why is she crying? Then she said

"Ro..........Rose.......Al.......Alan......passed.....away.....in an accident."

Her words crushed my heart, my hands started shaking. I dropped the gift. The fish tank broke and the water spilled out leaving the fish to struggling.
I and the fish both were struggling for life in the end we both lost life.

My vision blurred as tears spilled over and rolled down my cheeks. I sat on the floor and screamed my throat out.

Deep inside me

Please..........please.......... let it be a nightmare..........please..........I must be dreaming.

But that is just stupid, there is no escaping from this.

I tried everything I could but I couldn't get his image out of my head. May I should just give up on life.
I held a knife, looked at the mirror ready to slit my throat and join him. He was the only one who was there for me. The only one who cared for this foolish orphan and now he is no more why should I be living?

There is nothing or no one stopping me from doing this. I held the knife so tightly put it close to my throat. In a matter of seconds I am done with this pain. I closed my eyes. I imagined the moments we had together.

Just when I was about to slit my throat, I heard some one knock the door. I had a voice.

"ROSE, ARE YOU THERE"

I turned my head away from the mirror. Then all of a sudden something grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
