*TIME LAPSE OF A YEAR*

Alan and I had spent the day together today, we walked around the park and then went to starbucks for coffees, we then went back to the park and stayed their till it got dark, we were lying next to each other on the grass, staring up at the beautiful sky. Then Alan jolted up, it made me jump "Whats wrong?" I asked, throwing him a confused look.

"Nothing everything is absolutely perfect, which is why I want to ask you, Will you marry me?" he then pulled out a small black box with a light blue ribbon tied into a bow on it. I squealed, and then smiled properly for the first time in a year. "YES, YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES" I shouted a little too loud whilst wrapping my arms around his neck, he put the ring on my finger and then kissed me, it was all too perfect.

All of our friends and family soon found out and the wedding had started to be planned. I decided that I would ask my dad to walk me down the aisle, as for the past year and a bit he had actually been here for me and Damien.

The only friends I was close to, who were girls is Mike's girlfriend Rihanna and her friend Stacy; I asked them both to be my bridesmaids and thank god they said yes. Rihanna and Stacy wanted to take me dress shopping for a treat, as in, they would actually pay for my dress. "What, no way, I couldn't let you pay £3,000 Rihanna!" I protested as I tried to put the beautiful white dress back onto the clothing rack in the wedding shop. "No, please I insist, it will be mine, Mike's and Stacy's present for you!" and she took the dress straight over to the checkout.

The dress was beautiful, im so glad she was buying it for me, theres no way I would find that kind of money anyway for the expensive dress.

Rihanna and Stacy picked out bridesmaids dresses that would go well with all of the colours of the wedding, the bridesmaids dress turned out to be a light blue colour, which would match the ties all the boys would be wearing.

The big day was approaching fast, and I felt very excited! I looked at the clock next to my bed, it read 8:55am why did Alan wake me up this early for? I decided to slowly crawl out of bed and to the shower anyway. After my shower I felt refreshed even though it was only half 9. I started searching for Alan around the house until I heard the front door knock and Barney barking like mad.

I walked into the front room and saw Alan, with a very big smile on his face, "Answer the door beautiful" he said as he watched me make my way over to the door. I opened it to be faced with a very short man, holding a massive bunch of red roses and a set of keys.

"Here madam, these flowers are for you, from Mr Alan Ashby," he handed me the flowers and winked over to Alan, who winked back, "and here are the keys to your brand new car". The next minute I was walking out the front door to be faced with the most beautiful car. An Ss Chevy Chevelle to be exact. The main colour of it is Red, with two white stripes down the bonnet.

"Alan, I..I love it!"I screamed and ran into his arms, I felt like I couldn't let go, I looked stupid now as I hadn't ever bought him anything as extreme as a car. "I feel like I need to buy you something expensive now" I looked up at him and gave a sad expression. I generally felt bad.

"No I wont let you! This was my choice and I don't want anything from you!" he bought me back into the hug and then lead me to the car. We both got in and I started up the car. "Wow" I sounded like a kid at Christmas opening all my presents.

We went for a really long ride in the new car, I had passed my driving test a few years back, I had never owned my own car before though. I honestly felt blessed that I had Alan.
