Y-You're A-Alive?!

Life Goes Back To Normal

Andrew's Story:

    Waking up the next morning, I see Ashlynn still asleep. Kissing her forehead, I get up without waking her up and go downstairs. Heading to the kitchen, I get out stuff for breakfast. Making the batter for pancakes, I pour some on the pan and wait for it to get golden brown before flipping. After getting eight perfectly golden brown yet fluffy pancakes onto four plates, I make some sausage with some maple bacon while getting the coffee maker going. Looking around I see Ashlynn coming downstairs still in her pajamas. Smiling, I ask her if she wants hot or cold only to get a cold from her. Nodding, I get some ice and put it in the mug and pour the coffee over it. Grabbing vanilla creamer and sugar, I mix it before taking it out to her.

    "One ice cold vanilla latte with sugar for one sweet girl." I say while handing her the mug while being cheesy yet romantic.

    "You're such a dork. Stop being cute. But thank you for the coffee." Ashlynn tells me after smiling at me. Going back into the kitchen, I place sausage and the scrambled eggs with bacon next to them and take it out to Ashlynn.

    "A fulfilling breakfast before a day of school for my beautiful girl." I say to her after kissing her forehead.

    "Thank you handsome." Ashlynn tells me. Going back into the kitchen, I put the rest of the leftovers away in case Tristan and Liana come back today while we're at school. Washing out my coffee cup, I load the dishwasher and go upstairs to change. I'm hoping today will go by normal. Normal teachers, normal homework, normal school day. Changing into a grey t-shirt, black hoodie, and dark blue skinny jeans with my white adidas, I go down the hall to Ashlynn's room and see if she's ready to go. Knocking on her door, I hear a faint 'come in'. Opening the door, I'm mesmerized. There before me stood my beautiful girlfriend, wearing almost what I was, only with a black long sleeve, blue hoodie, grey skinny jeans, and brown boots. Looking at her, I notice her hair is down in its natural waves and she has my necklace around her neck. Could she be anymore beautiful? Going up to her, I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her forehead.

    "You look absolutely beautiful babygirl. Scratch that, you look absolutely beautiful every day." I tell her.

    "Thanks handsome. Ready to go to school?" Ashlynn asks me. Nodding, I pick up her bag and my phone while she grabs her phone and go to my room and grab my bag before heading downstairs. Grabbing my keys, I open the front door for her and lock it behind us. Putting our bags in the backseat, I go to the passenger side and open the door for her. Running around to the driver's side, I get in and start the car. Pulling out of the driveway, I make our way to school but decide to make a little detour first. Pulling into the parking lot of Starbucks, I go inside and get us drinks and get her a little cookie incase she needs energy before, during, or after school. Grabbing our drinks and her cookie, I go outside to my car and open my door. Setting the drinks in the cupholder, I hand Ashlynn her cookie and tell her she can eat when she feels the need to have energy. Pulling out of the parking lot, I drive to school. Turning off my car, I get out and go around the back to the passenger side and open the door for Ashlynn. After shutting her door, I open the back door and reach in and grab our bags and the drinks. Handing Ashlynn her drink, I put our bags on both of my shoulders and lock my car before putting my keys into my hoodie pocket. Holding my drink in one hand, I intertwine Ashlynn's hand with mine kissing the top of it every now and then. Walking into school, I keep Ashlynn close to me and walk her to her locker. Since me and Ashlynn have every class together, I required to have it done by the school for her protection still; we walk to first hour and sit in the back of the classroom and get busy on schoolwork. Hearing the chatter of the students flooding in, I sigh deeply. It's all going back to normal now. Kissing Ashlynn's cheek, I go back to writing the notes occasionally filling out the missing work. I can't believe after nine months of Ashlynn being gone, she's back and I'm dating her. I'll love her till the day I die, and I'll protect her with my last breath. Guess life has mysterious ways of bringing people together.
