Alicia's POV

Luke moves back and creates some distance between us, as if my words have literally given him a blow to heart.

I move forward towards him. I grab his collar, pull him down to my level and slam my lips onto his.

And then after I pull back, I lean my head on his, like he did earlier and said, "From next time, let me complete my sentence. Okay?"

I feel him nod. So I continue. "Luke Allison, I, Alicia Johnson, would like to announce to you that I don't love you." I pull him back, when I feel him moving back again " For me, love is a very small word to define my feelings for you. So I will just say that there are now words to define my feelings for you. "

Sounds of hooting and cheering, made us move back from each other. I notice everyone, and I mean everyone staring at us. And I blush, again.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Luke asks.

"Yes!" I reply and before I could kiss him again he leaned back put something in my hand.

And yeah it was really a cliché moment.

It was the ring.

And not any ring. The ring which was the other part of the keychain.

"uhh... But how?" I ask, confused. It can't be just a coincidence.

"What 'how'?" Luke asks.

I put the keychain in his hands. And look up at him.

Yeah, look up. Darn my 5'7" height, nothing compared to his 6'1", even though it's pretty good height.

"It's a coincidence. No wait..... It's fate." he creates a round movement from his hands.

I raise an eyebrow at him. He sighs.

"I... Actually saw you buying this keychain with Alice." he admits shyly.

He's so cute!!!

I laugh and put on the ring. It's beautiful.

I was not given much time to admire the ring before Luke pulls me towards him and slams his lips on mine. The crowd erupts in cheers making me and Luke smile through the kiss.

It seems as if I can also get a happily ever after.

The En-

"Luke!" What has happened to him?

I pull back from our kiss to see that Luke has fainted.

I hold him up while asking anyone to call the ambulance.

We all take him to the hospital. He was taken into emergency room. I was not allowed to go in further.

I sit down on the bench and that's when I notice Luke's mom and dad have also arrived and some blonde is running towards me.

Wait? It's not some blonde. It is Alice.

She runs towards me and engulfs me in a hug. "Shh... It's okay."

She takes my face in her hands and inspects for some injury or a sign of tears. But she finds out that I've not cried, she sighs.

"You know you are too stubborn for your own good." she says.

I could only nod. Yes, I've never once cried in my entire life.

Not when I fell into a pit when I was 3, not when my favourite puppy cane under a car and died, not even when my 1 year boyfriend broke up with me on my birthday.

I cried only once. It was when I lost my mom and dad on their anniversary. I was 5 at that time.

Yes, The woman i'm raised by is my step-mom. She brought me from an orphanage.

But it is not the time to talk about it.

"You know, it is okay to cry once in a while." Alice says.

It was all that took to make me cry.

Suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Luke's mom looking down at me with teary eyes.

It looks like she want to say something. But before she could say something, the doctor came out and looked at us.

Luke's dad goes to the doctor and talks with him for a while.

It only took me the shaking of doctor's head to know the result.

But I still waited for confirmation.

Luke's dad come toward us, where I and His mom are sitting. He looks at Luke's mom with a known look, as if they can read each other's mind.

Then Luke's mom nods and his father leaves and also ask Alice to leave us alone for a while.

I turn to Luke's mom, confused.

"I know what you are thinking. I just wanted to tell you something. Something about Luke's.......condition."
