The Accident

Dreaming

It's been five years and I have a life in new York. I have not talked with my dad scince that day that I found that Abbi was dead. I have almost forgotten about my family because I have a life of my own here.

I'm a fashion designer and my name is Sophie Lara not Maríe-Belle Sophía Jones anymore. I drive to work and get out of my car and I'm greeted by my boss. He's so nice and sweet. He's my age and I think he may like me. So many things have happened these past five years that me liking someone seems crazy.

I get out and he hugs me. We are best friends and I have kissed him once but I'm not sure what it meant.

"Hey Alex." I say after I hug him.

"So Sophie... I was wondering if you will go on a date with me tonight?" He asks me quickly.

I look at the date. It's Abbi's birthday. Tears filling my eyes but I brush them away. I look up at him."I would love to Alex." I say

He takes my hand and we walk into the building. It was hard to focus on my work but I managed to get through the day. I rush home and get ready for my date tonight. I finish just as Alex showed up at my door. I rush down the stairs in heals and shove away my pictures of my family and answer the door.

"Hey." He says.

I hug him tightly and put my arms around his neck.

"Why don't you enter and I can get us some wine?" I ask him.

"I would love that Sophie." He says.

He walks in and when he sees the ring he touches it. I frown.

"I always wondered why you wear that." He asks.

"Umm... ya it was my sisters..." I say playing with the flower ring on my pinky.

"Oh I didn't know you had a family." He says his eyes softening. "You told me you didnt."

"Not so much anymore." I say picking up on of our family pictures from after I was found but before the Accident.

"That's me." I say pointing to the girl with long hair. "That my little brother Liam, that my twin sister Eva's, that's my dad and that's my mom." I point to everyone but my little sister Abbi.

"Who's she? And that girl in the back?" He ask.

"Oh that's my step sister Emila and that's.... Abbigail, Abbi. This is her ring. I kept it when I found out she passed in a car accident." I say and pull out the last pictures I took with her.

"I'm so so so sorry for pushing you." He also and then his mouth drops open.

"We're those people on the Ellen show?" He asks looking up at me.

"No... yes... I don't want to talk about them anymore..." I say.

I sit down next to him and he brushes the tears off my cheek.

"I knew there was more to you than you told us." He says smiling his hand lingering on my face.

"You know Alex I have dated many people but I have never felt the same way with you." I say smiling up at him.

"Me too Sophie and I know this is really soon but we have been working together for years." He gets down on one knee and pulls out a black box with a beautiful diamond ring in it.

"Yes... YES!!" I yell. He puts the ring on my finger and he gets up and I jump into his arms. I think I was just rushing trying to forget when my other fiancee did this, I don't want to remember him anymore. I need to move on, he's dead, he's dead.

It's been two years and ever scince then I've done everything with him. Cried in his arms, talked about my family and thing like that. He's my best friend.
