Dear Diary

 I love speaking to you as I can tell you everything, even the embarrassing stuff!!!!!!!! There is so much stuff I could never tell a living soul but I don't think I could keep it all to myself as apparently I am a big mouth but honestly I can keep secrets, I just talk loads like seriously loads!! Today is valentines day (lovey dovey mushy day, if you know what I mean)  and everything was lovely but then my mates came over and basically Joe, Katie's bf proposed! It was so chavvy though, he basically said to her "Oiiiii, babe get over 'ere, do u wanna be with ma forevs"(in a reallyyyyyyy chavvy accent!) I am totally peed off as Katie and Joe have been together for less than a year and they are engaged! I am happy for her and all, don't get me wrong but why would you want to marry a bloke like that, like seriously why?!?! I don't know why I am so peed off, I think it is because I want to be engaged and she wasn't helping so I was more annoyed. Now all she does is talking about her and Joe saying "we love each other, we are going to have a gigantic wedding, we are going to have a baby, blah blah blah ". She is all happy how he has proposed but I don't see anything in their relationship, there's no special connection like me and my man! :)

6 years ago when I was 20 I met the man for me, this may sound cliché and cheesy but it was love at first sight, I swear down. I was in Starbucks just down the road from my house and across the room was the one, the one I knew I would love for ever. He was about to leave so like a ninja(a crazy one) I jumped out of my seat and slammed against the doors blocking them so he couldn't get out. Everyone was probably thinking has this psycho just escaped from the looney bin or what! He was different though, no strange looks given to me but he just looked at me with his gorgeous big brown eyes while smiling and I melted like chocolate on a hot summers day! I blurted out "Hiiii I am Alysha, what's your name". I felt like such a plonker but then I heard "Hello, I am Saul, why is such a pretty lady sitting by herself." OMG HE LIKES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We sat down, exchanged numbers and talked. It probably sounds so boring but it wasn't it was sweet and romantic and it all happened just in a little coffee shop just down the road. But to me it didn't matter that we were in a quaint little coffee shop. It was perfect. He was perfect.

More things began happening, moving in together, meeting parents, just generally what loved up couples do  but everything changed as I  was shot, not by Cupid's arrow but by a  gun and suddenly, BANG I was down........................

..... I was in a corner shop just getting some food for my lunch  and a guy walks in and shuts the down, and bringing the blinds down so no-one could see in or out of the shop and gets a gun out, he locked me,the shop keeper and 2 other customers in the shop. I thought he wanted money and would do no harm but I was obviously wrong. No help came, we were all screaming but he said "If you don't shuttapp,  now I will shoot one of you" and long story short he shot me in the eye. I must have went unconscious or something but I couldn't remember anything after that until I woke up in a hospital bed. I couldn't feel half my face, was I paralysed? But one thing did cheer me up, I saw a hand holding mine. I would recognise that hand anywhere. It was Saul. I was worried he wouldn't want me now but who would want me in the first place. I was just a 20 year old girl with no job, no social life, I girl who kept herself to herself. I still can't believe he did want me! A gentle voice spoke and said "Hey sweetie, how is my girl doing". I couldn't reply, I was stuck in pained, feeling like I was going to die. I tried to force a smile on my face but the pain just took over.
