Chapter 1

(Elaine's P.O.V) 

As I paced around the kitchen, I checked the clock hanging on the wall. Dallas still wasn't home yet, and I felt a worried feeling growing in the pit of my stomach. Ever since I found out Dal was doing drugs, I've been worried sick about him. Just the thought of not even knowing if he was dead, or in trouble broke my heart and made me want to burst into tears. I tried to hold them back, but I couldn’t. My vision blurred a little, as the tears streamed down my face. My breath got faster and I couldn’t breathe. I was having one of my little “attacks” again. Great.

It kept getting worse that I finally decided that I just needed to sit down on the couch and take a big breath. The tears starting to stop gradually; my breathing went back to normal, and the attack stopped. I started to get them ever since I found out that Dallas was doing drugs. The doctor said that it had nothing to do with my health, just bad memories. Yelling. Abuse. Being left by myself. All the things Dallas did to me ever since he became hooked. I hated the attacks. Sometimes when I have them it feels like I’m close to dying.

I pushed those thoughts out of my mind and stared out the window in front of me. It was getting awfully dark out. Leaves were blowing everywhere, as multiple cars rushed by. All the York City lights were starting to turn on, and I couldn’t help but smile a little. The Empire State Building shined in the darkening sky. It was the first place Dallas took me to when he had me move back with him to New York. We weren’t even married yet, but I knew moving back there would be worth it. Well, at least I thought so at the time.

 

*FLASHBACK*

“Alright, keep ‘em closed Elaine,” Dallas warned me, his hand over both of my eyes, walking me somewhere.

“But I want to see Dal!” I pleaded, but he didn’t hear me over all the cars in down town New York.

“What?” Dal shouted.

I sighed playfully. “Never mind.”

“No, c’mon babe what is it that you said?”

“It’s okay, don’t worry.”

“Alright… Hey, we’re here.” Dallas removed his hand from my eyes, and we were standing right in front of the Empire State Building. I gasped in shock.

“Dallas… Oh my… You-you shouldn’t have…”

The building shone so beautifully with all of its lights in the night sky.

“Naw I had to babe, I just had to.”

I looked at him curiously. “Had to? …Why?”

He just looked at me with his dark chocolate brown eyes and smiled a cute little smile.

“That’s the other surprise…”

Dallas did something I wasn’t expecting and got down on one knee. He pulled out a small little box from his leather jacket and opened it up.

“Elaine, will you marry me?”

I couldn’t breathe. My knees almost buckled underneath me, and I was shaking so hard. I wasn’t expecting this. Tears of joy fell down my cheeks as I gasped out the words, “Y-yes! Yes!”
