"Just leave. I never loved you. Never. Just leave me alone. I don't want you here. I don't love you," you tell him, and you immediately regret it. His mouth drops and he turns and starts to walk away.

You stand there, waiting for the love of your life to come back. To turn around and look into your eyes and say, "I know you didn't mean any of that." But he didn't. You don't think he ever will. You just screwed things up big time.

"Daniel!" you scream. He turns around and looks at you with sad eyes. "I... I didn't mean that... I'm sorry," you say. His eyes seem to light up even brighter than the sun. You love that about him. How he can make everything a happy moment. You start running towards him and he grabs you around the waist, and hugging you tight. You can smell is scent and you start crying.

"Baby, what's wrong?" he asks as he realizes that you're crying into his shoulder.

"I'm just going to miss you a lot," you say. He nods and takes your hand. Then he does the unthinkable. The absolute and utter perfect thing that he could have ever done.

"Baby, I stopped you from getting on that plane for one reason, and one reason only. Because I am absolutely in love with you. I love the way that you stare at yourself in the mirror because you don't think you have a good body, when in fact you have the perfect body. I love the way that it takes you two hours to do your makeup and then another four to do your hair. I love the way that you can't have your foods touching, and I love the way that you always finish what you start even if you really don't want to. I love your dimples when you smile, and I love your teeth, even though you hate them. I love the way you cry at sappy love movies. I love that you are so passionate at everything you do. You love me relentlessly and I love that. I love your hair and your adorable little nails. I love that you hate having fake nails on and you always bite them off. I love your waist, the way it curves in and gives you the perfect shape. I love your smile and the way your eyes twinkle when you're happy. I love the way that you drive me completely insane. You make me so angry sometimes, but I can never, ever stay mad at you. I hate it when you're not around me. You're like an addiction and I can't stay away from you. We are complete opposites and that's what draws us together. I want you forever. To myself. I never want to lose you and I hope you feel the same way. It has been 3 years of us being together. I know everything about you and you know everything about me. I love that. I love you."

At this point he was down on one knee and pulling out a small velvet box. I gasped, tears still running down my cheeks.

"Jasmine, will you marry my?" everything went silent when he said those 5 words. The entire airport stopped. I couldn't see or hear anything but my sobs, and his heavy breathing. I slowly nod my head, smiling. He jumps up and wraps his arms around me, kissing me slowly, but passionately. I can hear claps all around me. We pull apart, me being a little embarrassed. Every single person in the airport was clapping and smiling at us.

"I take it that I'm not going to London now?" I ask, with kind of a sad voice. I really wanted to go.

"No," he said quietly, looking down. My face fell, I could feel it. "We're going to London." I look at up him with what I'm guessing is a very confused look.

"What?" I ask. His smile is a mile long, stretching from one eye, to the other.

"You and I are going to London. Together."

At this point, I was jumping up and down, squealing, and on the verge of tears. Then I see my family behind him. My mom, my dad, brother, and sister. They are bringing suitcases towards us. My mom is crying and my dad, sister, and brother all have huge smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations honey. I am so proud of you. Make sure you call me when you get to London. I love you Jasmine," my mom says.

The rest of my family is talking all at the same time, but I block them out. All I can think about is how happy I am, and how happy I'm going to be for the rest of my life. Of course there will be complications. We will fight and everything, but I know that we will never fall out of love. We are too deeply in love to fall out of it.

I hug all of my family and finish saying goodbye right as a lady came over the loudspeaker announcing that our plane will be taking off soon, so we need to go get on it. My family are all crying and so am I. But we're all crying happy tears. Daniel and I board our plane and we take off to London.

Goodbye old life, hello new.
