Ana's POV

Me and Carl are now 25. Just one year ago Carl proposed to me. To be honest, it is honestly the best thing thing that happened to me. I remember when he gave me the promise ring. I still have it to this day, not one day goes by where I don't look at it sitting in my jewelry box now that our engagment ring takes its place on my left hand. My mother died 2 years ago due to alcohol poisoning. I have to admit, it was really hard even though she didn't treat me the way a mother should. Carl was there with me through it all. When I heard the news to her funeral and to this day. Me and Carl are still in contact with his family besides his dad, Frank. He passed away 4 years ago from a drug overdose. I was there for him the entire time like he was for me. We both filled that empty space in our hearts with each others love and bliss. We had a daughter two years ago. Her name is Aviona Marie Gallagher. She had blue eyes like carl and black hair like me. We dressed her in a matching wedding dress with me for mine and Carl's wedding. We both have jobs. I am a waitress at Fiona's dinner. In two months it will be my 7 year anniversary from working there. Carl is a bar tender at the bar down the street. We both make a decent amount of money to support our family. Neither of us went to college but we did finish high school. Chelsea and Jasmine learned to stop bothering me after I beat the up at lunch for trying to jump me. I was short then and I still am. I'm only 5'4 and Carl towers over me like he always has. He is now 5'11. But I still remember the first day we started dating. We went to the dinner I work at now. I cherish every important moment I had with Carl. He was good to me. All I have left because everyone left me. I used to feel like I had no one, I was broken. But after all, he really did mend the broken.

Can he mend the broken?Where stories live. Discover now
