A Thousand Years

Chapter One True Love

He was the man of my dreams. The moment I laid eyes on him I knew he was the one. The way his hair was fluffed on his head, the way his eyes were the colour of the ocean. You could get lost in his eyes, his good looks, his body.

I first met him in tenth grade. I was walking down the hallway when I suddenly turned and rammed into the most popular guy in school. He had helped me pick up my stuff, and when we reached for the same book, our hands slightly touched. It was a connection, that could never be broken.

He asked me out the next day, he said he couldn't stop thinking about me. I was honoured, considering all my last boyfriends were a bust.
Our first kiss happened in a movie theatre, during the movie Titanic. I was watching my (now) favourite movie, with my favourite person.
We were always "cutest couple" in the yearbook, and were never afraid to show it, we were inseparable.

The day we both graduated from university was one of the best days of my life. We went to a fancy restaurant to celebrate our achievements. Before dessert, he got down on one knee and proposed to me.
I was shocked. I was only 24 years old, applying for nursing school, and my boyfriend of 10 years was asking him to marry him. I was speechless, I could only nod my head to agree. I was in tears, and when he slipped the beautiful ring on my finger while the entire restaurant clapped.
We were engaged for 5 years before we got married. I was finishing up my nursing degree, while he was training to join the Marine Core.

We got married a year after I became a nurse, and when he finally got accepted in the core.
We settled in a condo over looking Venice beach in downtown Los Angeles, and were happy for two years. Everything was perfect except for that one phone call....
