The engagement ring above

When I turned around, my hand immediately clamped over my mouth. I couldn't believe it, I was feeling overjoyed and so happy. This was the happiest moment of my entire life.

''Molly Reynolds, you make me the happiest that I have been in my entire life. You bring out the good in me. And taught me how to love again, and you made me feel happy even in my worst times. So what I'm trying to ask is. Will you make me the happiest man alive, and marry me?''

I nod my head in a rapid pattern with my hand still over my mouth. ''Yes, Yes! Yes, I will marry you!'' He grins as wide as possible, takes my hand in his, and places the ring on my finger.

I admire the ring in the moonlight. The light is bouncing off of it in an array of patterns.

I look at Jaeden with a wide smile and I jump into his arms. ''I love you so much, you have no idea how happy I am right now.'' I start to cry and bury my face into the crook of his neck.

''Aw baby, why are you crying.'' He asks concerningly and starts to rub my back in a circular motion.

''I'm happy, I'm just so damn happy." I say between tears. Jaeden laughs and starts walking towards the car. He sets me down in the passenger seat and buckles my seatbelt, as if I can't do it myself. I laugh at him and he gives me a strange look. ''What are you laughing at?'' He asks.

''You,'' I say.

'Why are you laughing at me?' He asks.

''I'm not three years old, you know? I can buckle my seatbelt all on my own.'' I laugh once again. He grins and laughs.

''I know, but I like helping you.'' He says. Again, I can't help but laugh at him. ''Let's go home, my love.'' I smile at his words and he gets in the driver's seat. Then starts the car and drives off.

All I think about is us and what the future holds. No interruptions anymore, just happiness and peace. No more of... him. I had just now realized and for the first time in what feels like forever. I never told Jaeden what really happened.

I killed somebody...

We get home and go upstairs. I got to the bathroom and started to take my makeup off while Jaeden was in the shower.

He gets out and dries off. Then comes up behind me, wraps his arms around my waist, and rests his head on my shoulder. ''I love you,'' he whispers and kisses my cheek. I tried to hide the tears, and I did. Maybe I should- no. God no, he will never see me the same way. It will scare him off, if I lose him I won't be able to live. And thats when I realized, I can't live without him.. I can't lose him.

''I love you more,'' I say and shake off the unsettling feeling.

''Not possible,'' he says with his head still rested on my shoulder. I laugh at him.

''I'm going to get in the shower.'' I say, he nods and goes to the closet to get changed.

I get undressed and get in the shower.

When I'm done, I get changed and then go into the bedroom. To where I find Jaeden laying down, in only grey sweatpants. And I can't help but stare at him and think. 'How did I get so lucky with him?'

''You know, its rude to stare.'' He laughs and I blush a deep shade of red. ''Come on, let's go to sleep.'' He says and moves his head for me to come over and lay beside him. I do so, and he pulls me close to him. I lay my head on his chest and slowly drift off to sleep with one too many thoughts running through my mind.
