Autumns POV

When someone dies, you don't think about what would happen if they didn't. You think of what you could've done to save them or spend your last moment with them. Your heart slowly starts to peel away as the the person you loved, and Lived for has been vanished from the very earth you stand upon. I was glad I had the man I needed the most to cry on. I wore a black dress with my hair down.

My make up smeared from the tears. I tried to at least look good for her. Today of all days in California it had to rain. I was happy about that. My mother always told me about how rain had made her feel nice. I let go of Cameron's embrace and stood up in front of her coffin.

"Why is daddy gone? Why did God take him away? " I pouted while my mom tried to calm me.

"Good takes good people away to watch over us" my mom patted my head as she soon busted out a fit of tears.

I stood there remembering how I stood in front of my dads casket. I took a look around the room.

"A mother, someone who lives to protect you and make sure your shoe is tied" I paused and slightly chuckled remembering how she never bought Velcro so I would learn how to tie my own shoes.

"When that woman's gone, it's time for you to become the one for yourself. You learn off them." I choked

"I love my mother more than my own life. I know everyday I'll be missing her, but I'd be glad, glad that she's not suffering. I could not have asked for a better mother. That's why today and forever I'll let her rest." I looked down back to her body and placed a crumbled paper I had saved from decades ago. It was one of her last notes in my backpack that she'd put there to make sure I had a good day.

"Bye Mom" I whispered as My uncle wrapped his arm around my shoulder and let me back to my seat. I sat next to Cameron and dug my face into my hands trying to conceal the sobs. I couldn't watch as they put her into the ground next to my dad.

"They're all gone" I sobbed to Cameron as he comforted me.

It was time for everyone to go home. I was hugged by many strangers probably friends or family I've never meant. I dragged myself into my house from out of car and tried to make my way up the stairs. I was on my third step till I broke down. I let out a huge sob, my heart throbbed and I stopped breathing. I sat on the steps and leaned my head against the wall. I put my hands on my face as my hair hung over me. Cameron put off his tux and sat next to me. He wrapped his arm around me and I dug my face into his chest.

"C'mon" he said just above a whisper before picking me up. He brung me into my room. He plopped me down on my bed on my back. He took off my heels. I still sobbed into the bed barley breathing from the tight dress.

"C'mon this doesn't look comfortable" Cameron sighed as he stripped say dress off leaving me in my undergarments. He handed my a big t shirt. I slowly put it on and dug my face into my pillow leaving it full of tears. I noticed Cameron had left for a moment. I didn't care. I got up and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I pulled my hair back into a messy ponytail. I was he'd my face with cold water then dried my face. My eyes were swollen and red along with my cheeks. I step out to see Cameron shirtless slipping on joggers. He walked over to me. He knew what I craved, a hug.

He opened his arms wide and I fell into him and sobbed. He hugged me for a little longer before placing me on my bed and kissing my head. I notice a carton of ice cream to my left with a Spoon. Cameron turned on my TV and slipped in some discs from season 1 Supernatural, he knew it was one of my favorite shows. He crawled into bed along with me. I laid my head on his chest devouring ice cream between each sob. The carton was half empty before I put it down. He wrapped his arms around around me tightly.

"It's alright" he wiped the tears from my face. He sat up facing me. He held both of my wet cheeks wiping away tear that flew out of my eye with his thumbs. His dry hands against my tender cheeks made it slightly burn but I loved it.

"Take a deep breath" he said. I breathed in the air I had around me I choked and bursts out crying again.

"It's okay just try again" he wiped more tears away. I breathed in for about 5 seconds.

"Now out" he hummed. I let out a shaky breath. My heart raced started to calm down. My tears went out slowly now. He leaned in and kissed the remaining tears off of my cheeks. I had stopped crying and he placed his hands away from my cheeks and left a small kiss on my lips. My red eyes burned along with my cheeks.

"It's alright" he brung me into another hug.

I woke up in his arms In a panic. I didn't want to wake him and he didn't wake anyway. I tip toes downstairs to the dark house I had Sold to move to New York.

1 more week and I'm living with Cameron in New York. I thought to myself. I stared at a portrait of me and my mother. I sighed frustratedly and walked over to the almost empty kitchen. I grabbed a mug from the top cupboard and brewed a small coffee. I went into the living room. I look out the huge living room window with a. Hair right in front of it. The rain trickled down the window violently. I walked over to the chair and crossed my legs and brought a pillow to my lap. I propped my coffee on it. I took a sip while watching the rain fall. A tear slid down my cheek slowly. I sniffled. I feel a hand on my shoulder I jumped a little spilling coffee on the pillow. He laughed slightly.

"Are you ready?" Cameron spoke silently

~ New York

I open the elevator doors to our new apartment. My eyes and mouth widened at the huge amount of space I traveled around the apartment and found our room. It was more beautiful than my old room. Cameron decided it was a good idea to walk around Time Square. We stopped at the middle intersection seeing street performers, Disney character and Broadway signs. I haven't really spoken to Jonathan in a While. I notice a sketchy looking guy following me and Cameron. Cameron took my right hand and stared at me for a moment. He let out a nervous breath before kneeling. He took a velvety box out of his coat pocket. And within the next few words changed my life.

"I have loved you for a very long time and I your current boyfriend and hopefully fiancé will want to spend eternities with you. Autumn Willow Wright, will you marry me?" Cameron opened the box revealing a diamond ring with our initials incrested in it. The world froze around me as I consumed those words. I remember my dad telling me. That would probably one of the most important questions in my life. I couldn't stopped smiley. I snapped back into reality

"Yes" Cameron jolted up and shoved the ring on my finger before picking me up and kissing me. Everyone around us stopped to cheer then it went awkward and they went off to whatever.

"I had it filmed too" Cameron whispered in my ear as the "sketchy" guy revealed himself.

"I love you" I kissed him once more.
