Every muscle in my body ached. Every step felt like walking on glass and my eyes burned.

"God I hate jet lag," I groan, tugging at my luggage behind me.

"I can't wait until I can sleep," Nick mutters, following my steps. We caught a cab down to our hotel which was only a few minutes away from the airport. I watch outside the window of the cab, observing the surroundings of Berlin. I notice a couple looking up and point at the stars above in the sky. The sight happened to catch my eye.

I was laying on the grass underneath the alluring night sky with James. Many stars were scattered around in the sky. I couldn't of think of a more beautiful sight.

"You know I love you, right," James delicate voice spoke in a quite whisper. I transferred my vision from the sky to his  eyes.

"Of course I do. I love you too,"I mutter. His large hands reach to grab mine firmly yet gently.

"I can't explain how happy I am with you Ana," I lock my eyes with his, tears welling around the edges of his eyes, "You mean so much to me, I had never felt this happy or comfortable with anyone, ever, and I can already imagine how beautiful you are going to look on our wedding day and how amazing of a mother your going to be," Silent tears ran down his face, his voice cracking time to time and taking occasional breaths.

"And I don't care if we're only 18 and the world thinks this is wrong, but I'm ready to commit myself to you," My hands began to tremble slightly after he said that.

"I-" James finger comes up to gently meet with my lips.

"Shhh darling." He pauses for a second to grab something from his pocket, "Anastasia Celest Lozano, will you marry me?" James hand reaches out to show me the ring.

Despite the fact I was a crying mess, I could get the word "Yes" out.

I was laying on my bed. My mind drifting to the thought of our wedding. Only two more months. I grinned to myself. I am so grateful for all the things that I have especially James.

I hear a gentle knock on my door. I mentally pray to myself that it's James. I twist the knob to find my mum standing outside my door. I examine her face briefly. Her mouth quivered and tears gushed in her eyes.

"Mum?! What's wrong are you okay?" I ask her.

"Anastasia, I'm so sorry," Sobs escaped her mouth. She used my full name. . . that means something's wrong.
