Rose POV

*3 weeks after accident*

It's been about a week and a half since I was released from the hospital. I'm a lot better then I was when I was released. Me and Joe found the courthouse we decided to get married at. We've been trying to arrange everything for that day. We decided to look for an apartment after we are married, because we have several things on our plate now, we are trying to get those out of the way first. I was at Joe's when I thought of something. "Hey babe, can you come here please?" I semi yelled. "Yeah, whats up?" he asked sitting in the chair close to me. "So I was thinking instead of saying vows in front of everyone, we wright Our vows and say them in private to each other. Like just let it be a thing between us." I said not for sure what he was going to say. He sat there a minute. "It's totally up to you babe, whatever you want. After the wedding we can come home or go down to the lake and read them off to each other." he responds back. "That exactly what I was thinking." I said back smiling.

Joe POV

I was sitting on the couch when I heard the doorbell ring. "I'll get it babe!" I said to Rose as I got up. When I opened the door, I couldn't believe my eyes.  It was Isabella Perry, my ex. "Um, hey Isabella." I asked not knowing what to say. "Hey Joe Joe, can I come in and talk?" she asked. "I don't think that would be a good idea, Isabella." I said. "Why?" she asked. "Because my girlfriend is here, and I don't want to see you." I said with annoyance in my tone. "Oh, listen I was just coming to say sorry for all pain I put you through. What I did was wrong, and I realized that my mistakes cost me a really amazing guy." she said with her head down. I signed "Listen Isabella, apology accepted, but I won't forget what you did. I've moved on. I'm a happy man now. We all make mistakes. We live and learn." I finished. She nodes. "Time flies. You know? Before I leave can I speak to your girlfriend?" she asked. "I don't know. Why do you want to speak to her?" I questioned. Before she could say anything I felt a soft, small hand take hold of my arm. "Its ok, Joe. She can talk to me?." Rose said.

Rose POV
I was waiting to see what this Isabella girl was going to say. "So you're the girlfriend, or should I say fiance?" She said pointing to my ring. I looked down at it and back up. "Yeah." I smiled and she smiled back. She continued on. "You have an amazing guy in your life. He was one of the best for me, but I messed that all up. Someone told me he had a new girl but didn't believe them for a second. I'm happy he found himself a nice girl. You are very pretty too. So.....um......yeah I wish you guys the best in life." she finished. At first I didn't know what to say because I thought she was going to hate me and go off on me, but I guess not. "Thank you so much." was all I could say. She randomly gave me a hug and left with out saying anything else. I closed the door and turned around to see Joe shocked. "I was honestly not expecting that to happen. Listen I didn't know she was coming, I don't even know how she knows where I live. I'm sorry babe." he finished with worry in his tone. "Listen baby, it's ok. Don't sweat it." I said pulling him into a hug.

*skip a few more hours*

There was something that Isabella said I couldn't stop thinking about. "Hey babe, I'm going to the grocery store do you need anything?" I asked Joe. "No, thanks anyway." he responded. "Love you." I said, and got the same response back. As I was heading to the store I made a quick stop to see two people. My brother and my ex boyfriend. As I pulled up to the cementary, I started to really realise that time does fly. The first person I walked up to was my ex grave. "Hey buddy, long time no see. I wanted to let you know, I found someone who I really love, and I'm getting married to him in a week. I know that's what you wanted because you always told me if something bad ever happend to you, to find the one who makes me happy. I did find someone who made me happy. He treats me right and cares a lot about me. I know you would be proud of me." I finished, and made my way over to my brothers grave. "Hey big bro, sorry I haven't come and seen you any, but I wanted to tell you something special. I found the one I truly love and I'm getting married next week. I know if you were here right now you would be very happy with him. He treats me right and would do anything for me. He respects my decisions and treats me like a women." I sat there and talked for a little bit more then left. I went to the store and picked up the iteams I needed. I was thinking through the whole store, that my brother would be very happy and proud that I found the one. He would also be very pleased with how I turned my life around to the right path in life.
