Future Starts Slow

Tragedy

Alison's POV
I was cutting some cucumbers when someone scared me. "Whoa!" Jamie yelled when I whipped around wielding a knife. "Oh sorry I didn't know you were home." Alison replied. "Yep I'm here." Jamie plopped himself on the counter top and took a slice of cucumber. "Really?" I looked at him. "What?" "Those were for the guests." Alison said annoyed. "Ohhhh I forgot your parents were coming over." I scowled at him. "Of all the dates you could have forgotten you forgot this. This is the night we were going to tell them about the engagement." Jamie pursed his lips and then let out a sigh. "You know we could just not tell anyone and get married secretly then live in a cottage in the middle of nowhere." I shook my head and took the dip out from the fridge. He hopped down and grabbed my waist. "Not now babe." I felt his warm breathe on my neck. "But." I put my finger up to his mouth before he gave me those big beautiful hazel puppy eyes. (Btw there both in their mid-late 20s) Gosh he was so hot. "I know what your thinking." He said seductively. "Oh and what's that?" I asked pressing myself up against his chest. "You're thinking that I'm the best fiancé there is and that you'll never ever leave me." "While all that is true, that's not what I was thinking." He frowned and I couldn't help but smile. The phone rang and I picked up. "Hello?" "Alison, is that you?" I recognised that voice and I soon realised it was my mom. "Mom is that you?" "Yeah sweetie it's me. I need you to come to the hospital." She sounded rushed. "Why? Is everything okay? Where's dad?" All these questions rushed through my mind. "Just come please hurry!" "Alright is daddy okay?" "Not exactly honey just hurry." With that she hung up and I ran and grabbed Jamie by the arm, got in the car and drove to the hospital.
