We Met Because Of Death

The Possiblities

( Austin's part)

To tell the truth I never thought I'd be happy again. Never thought I'd fall in love again but I did. I can't say I'm myself again but I am a new person. I've changed for the best for me and her. I love her and I'm happy that I do. I came here not believing or expecting to even find love. She changed everything, not like some kind of fairy tail our story has pain, heartbreak just like any other story but we're different in so many ways. Brittany will always be there but I've let her go.  Haylee is my future, Brittany was my past. I close my eyes and sigh  thinking of her. Her skin, her eyes, her mad curls always pressed in my face at night. Haylee's laugh and her smile. How could I be so in love with a women this much? Thinking about her, always wanting her. I knew so much about her, and she knew everything about me. Things that even Brittany hadn't even known. A year and five  months since I met her. God she was fucking amazing. Everything about her and everything that she has done for me. I needed her, I needed her to be my wife.

A year and five months was it too soon? I've been wanting to marry her since our one year anniversary but I had decided to wait. Ugh but waiting for five months without putting a ring on that damn finger of hers was unbearable. I loved her and she loved so It's okay if I ask her now right? I mean it's only getting down on one knee asking her to be with me for the rest of our lives and say some vows right? Yeah no it was so much more than that! Her being my wife, taking my last name. Always waking up to her in the mornings and having a family. Being with the woman I loved.

I still had some money left from college funds. I just needed to get the ring. What if I get the wrong size? How will I ask her without making it seem obvious? All the thoughts just start running around inside my head. You could say I was nervous. I mean I have the right to be right? Asking the girl I love to marry me and wanting it to be perfect it's a lot. Maybe her sister knows her size should I ask one of them? They'll keep it a secret won't they?
" Austin will you please shut up! It's nothing to flip out about, just go get her sisters and then pick out a ring! Haylee will love it either way." I want it to be perfect Brittany it has to be. I hear her groan in my head and Max chuckle. Hey max what did you do when you asked her? " I asked her at the festival grabed a microphone and announced it." See I have  to make mine amazing! " No you don't Max is just over the top." He made it look good though. " Hey Austin!"
Taylor smiles at me grabbing a bag from the cabinet I smile at her back leaning against the counter. " Hey Taylor whatcha you up to?"  " Nothing much I'm you okay you look nervous."  
" Are you doing anything today?"
" No why?" I grab her and walk her outside closing the door. Haylee was upstairs so I had to be careful. Taylor gives me an odd look but I ignore it. I close the door behind us and turn to look at her. " Alright listen I'm.... going to ask Haylee to Marry me."  " OH MY G-"  " Shh not so loud!"  " Sorry but Austin that's amazing I'm so happy for you two!" She jumps up and down , her eyes wide and a big smile on her face. I grab her to stop her from jumping. " Alright thank you but listen I need you're help. Can you come with me so I can pick her a ring out? I want it to be the right size I was hoping you'd know what size to get her."
" Oh yeah I will totally go with  you! Are we going now?"  " After I tell Haylee something like say you and me are going to drop you off at you're boyfriends house because his car broke down or something. "  " Alright I'll be waiting down here! Actually I'll just wait I'm the car!" She runs down the steps and straight to my car. What did  I just get myself into?

" Hey babe!" I walk into the bathroom, Haylee peeps out at me from behind the shower curtain and smiles. " Hey here to join me?"  " I wish but I  promised Taylor I'd take her to Jaden' s house."  I pull back the curtain a little bit to peek in at her. My eyes trailing down every inch of her.  " Why can't he just pick her up?"  " His car broke down."  " Oh well next time you have to shower me got it?"  " Yes ma'am." She leans in to kiss me I kiss her back feeling water drip down the side of my face from her hair. She pulls away smiling at me and turns back around. " I love you."  " I love you too Day, you don't even know just how much."
