.....I stared directly at his nervous eyes. I hadn't figured out exactly what to say. But I had already made my choice. I just didn't know how to tell him. My eyes filled up and a tear came streaming down my face. I couldn't let him wait much longer. "Hugo.... I will marry you". "Really!?" He asked. "You'll marry me?" He continued. "Yes Hugo, I love you and I couldn't think of anyone to marry bar you. You mean the world to me and my hole life has changed since the day i met you. Your last person I think of when I close my eyes and your the very first person I think of when I open my eyes. I've waited for you to ask me, but you never did. But this moment is the most perfect and specialist moment of my entire life. I never want to let you go Hugo. I love you." He didn't say anything. He took the beautiful glowing diamond ring out the the box and grabbed my hand. He slipped the ring through my finger. "It's beautiful" I said. "I love you too Emily" he added. "But.." I paused. I was about to tell him about my cancer but I didn't want to spoil this amazing moment. "What?" Hugo panicky said. "Nothing, I just can't believe it" I lied. Why? Why did I say yes! I'm going to die and he doesn't know. I have to tell him. But I can't. I can't ruin his special moment.
Snow was sprinkling down from the dark blue sky. It lay gently on the old ground and stayed there. We walked through the tough snow. We strolled to Central Park. On the way Hugo spotted an ice-cream stall and asked for 2 raspberry ice-creams. We kept on walking until we arrived there. But it wasn't dark. The snow light up Central Park and made it feel like Christmas. I was going to tell Hugo about my cancer once we had arrived to Central Park but I decided against it as it would hurt him to much. We spotted Bethesda Fountain ahead. So we decided to go there as no one was around. "I wonder how many people have thrown there coins into the Fountain." He wondered. "Thousands, people wish for the same thing." I added. "And how would you know that Miss lansome?". I looked at him and sarcastically smiled. "Well... What else would they wish for?" "And what's that?" He asked. "For love. Everyone's the same. They want love more than love wants them." I told. "So they say". "What's that supposed to mean?" I curiously asked. "Not everyone wants love. And some people already have it. Like me". "Your right Hugo, and I'm not going to wish for love. Because I know I already have it. I'm going to wish for something else". I scrambled through my purse to find a coin. I stood up and dangled over the large fountain. As I threw my old coin into the fountain I wished for something. It wasn't love or anything like that. It was something completely different. After I threw my wish into the fountain I returned back to Hugo. "What did you wish for?" Hugo persistently asked. "Well if i told you that, there would be no point in making the wish". "Fair enough" he said. There was a pause in the conversation. "I hadn't realised there was a fountain in Central Park." Hugo said. "I know, I didn't really know what was here to be honest". "But its lovely and very romantic" I continued. "That's why I brought you here." It started getting cold and my body was shaking. He realised. So he wrapped his arm around my waist and squeezed my body into his. I jumped. "Ouch" I shouted. "You ok? What's the matter. Did I do something?" Hugo had pressed my bruise. But I couldn't mention it. "Nothing, I'm fine I jut got a shock!" He still had his smooth arm around my bruised ribs. I gently placed my head on his shoulder and tried to forget about everything. I closed my eyes and thought of me walking down the Aisle. I couldn't really imagine it as something kept stopping me. The thought that I might not even make it to our wedding day killed me. It stabbed me in the back and it didn't come out.
I opened my eyes and I could see the royal ritz hotel. It stood out from the rest of the ordinary buildings. The lights were beaming off the building and lighting up Central Park. I lifted my tired head and looked at Hugo. He was gazing at the fountain. I'm not too sure why but he looked even more handsome when he was concentrated. "You want to go back to the hotel?" I whispered. "Yeah, it's getting late and I can tell you're tired." "How can you tell when I'm tired?" I curiously asked. "Your eyes become weak and so does your arms....your words stutter and you go into trances very easily" he responded. "Really?" "Yeah" he said.
He walked back to the hotel, my hand linked into his. We talked about what a wild but quiet city this was and how dreams really do come true. I got my wish and he got his. They sky was still dark and the ground was still bright. We reached the grand hotel and we went up to our apartment. I quickly turned on the light and dived on to the luxury bed. But I soon quickly got back up and took my clothes off. As I pulled my clothes off Hugo said "what's that?". "What's what?" I anxiously asked. "Them bruises on you legs and waist?". I grabbed the white dressing gown. "Nothing" I responded. "Emily! That's not something people get daily?". I tried to think of an excuse. But nothing came to mind. "I didn't want you to worry but I fell down the stairs the other day when you were out. I thought you might of took me to the hospital to get them checked out. So I didn't tell you." I said. "You sure?" Hugo asked. "Positive" I lied. He took his clothes off and jumped into bed. I followed straight after him. We lay in bed looking out the window, the view was outstanding. We could see Central Park from our window and even the Bethesda Fountain. "Thank you for tonight" I whispered. "Your welcome, I'm so grateful you said yes Emily" he said. "Well soon I'll be called Mrs oak-field." I replied. He laughed and kissed my forehead. I smiled back. But I didn't mean any of it. I know I'm dying.
I woke up the next morning, the sun blazing through the glass window. I rolled over to Hugo's side but he wasn't there. I sat up and looked around the empty room but there was no sign of him. "Hugo?" I shouted. There was no reply. I started to panic but I heard the door open and it was Hugo. I slowly started to calm down. "Where you been?" I asked. "I've just been to book us a day out". "Where we going?" I asked. "Somewhere far away". "What's in the bag?" I added. "Something for you to wear my dear". "Ok I'll jump in the shower then". I rushed to the bathroom with hope in my hands. I turned the silver shower on and waited for it to turn hot. I then jumped in. Hugo was figuring out what to wear.
I got out the warm shower and wrapped the cream towel around my bruised body. I stepped out the bathroom and Hugo was stood there in a suit. He looked dreamy, so sophisticated. "WOW!" "You look.... Well handsome". He looked away and smiled. He stuttered over and grabbed my head. He reached in for a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him harder. I could feel his neck get less tight and more relaxed. I wouldn't let go. I wanted to hold on to him forever. Because if I let go I fear that I'll go too. I hung onto him. I grabbed him tighter and tighter. But I let go.
I got ready instantly. He bought me a long white lace dress. It was mouth watering. He was stood glaring outside the window looking at the city around us. I walked over and hugged him from behind. He turned around. "What was that for?" He asked. "For just being you" "the dress is fabulous, thank you". He slowly turned back around to face the pale window. I slipped the lace dress on and waited polity for him to turn back around. After a few moments he glanced at me. "Words can't describe how amazing you look Emily" I was about to say thank you when something strange stopped me. I collapsed.
