*reality*

I set Sophia back in her crib and kissed her forehead. She stirred a little before shifting to her side and grabbing the blanket Grace made before she was born. I gazed at my little girl and hurt. I hurt.

"We will help, ya know. We can get this place looking proper in no time! You'll see." Louis patted my back reassuringly. I just nodded my head. What else was I supposed to do?

"We'll be back Monday night to watch some telly. See you then, Ed. And if you ever need anything you have all of our numbers. Alrighty then, come on lads." Liam led the group out and soon enough, I was all alone again.

Sophia was in her own little world, my best friends had to leave to get back to their girls, and Grace was gone. I'm pretty far gone as well. I was happy. I was fun and energetic and smiley and always the first one to make you laugh.

I would've done anything for a laugh.

Now, I was gone. I wasn't happy, far from it. I was cold and meaningless and depressed and, alone.

I remember that day, the day she left. She went to go pick up my wedding band. She wouldn't tell me what it looked like, but she told me where she was going. She never did make it there. I wonder if they would still have it.

...

"Thanks man, you're doing me a huge favor!" I exclaimed, handing Sophia to Niall.

"Eh, it's no problem. Gives me more time to spend with my princess ere'. Now, where are you going Eddie?" Sophia rested her sleepy head on Niall and I handed him the diaper bag as well.

"A little mission of mine. Ill be back either late tonight or early tomorrow. Ill see you then! Bye Soph, I love you babe!" I gave her one quick kiss on the temple.

"Aye, none for me?" I chuckled at Niall'a antics and ruffled my hair before jumping in my car.

...

Four hours later and I was back in our hometown. It was pretty dark, 9 pm. I just hoped that the store would still be open.

Luckily, it was just about to close. The shopkeeper sparred me and let me in, although his times were 11am-8:30pm. I thanked him and asked him about the ring. He found it quickly and handed it to me, saying he was sorry for my loss and just never had enough time to call and ask if I wanted it. I thanked him once again and sat back in my car.

There was a note attached to the dusty ring box.

"Eddie,

You are my stars, and I am the moon. I can't picture my life without you teddy. I love your flaming red hair and pudgy stomach and tattoos and crooked smile and high school fashion and shy output and everything else I missed. I love the way you can sleep past noon but get upset if your up past 1. I love how you don't care how messy I am with my clothes and how lenient you are with letting me use your guitars (even though I suck). I love every piece of you Ed, and I don't think I'd be here without you. So, Edward Sheeran. From now on, I am Mrs. Grace Sheeran. Forever and always baby. I promise.

Xoxo, Gracy"

I beat me fist on the steering wheel. How could this happen? To her of all people! Why couldn't it have just been me? Why?

I started to drive in a blind fit of depression. Nothing, no one could stop me. Tears flowed down my face yet I continued to drive blindly.

It was too late to see the headlights.
