Alternative ending -

I stood up from the couch as I heard a knock on the front door. I expected nobody, so I was curious. As I opened it, my heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, Cal," I whispered, smiling. I instantly frowned when I noticed him crying. "Come inside. What's wrong?" He just ran into me, engulfing me into a hug. We were silent for a long while before he spoke.

"I want to kill myself," he choked out, holding me tightly. My heart shatteres into trillions of pieces.

"No, baby, please no. What's wrong? Please talk to me about it..."

"I-I don't know. I just want to so bad. I'm selfish. I have everything I need, but I still feel terrible." Sobs racked his body, making me want to cry.

I led him over to the couch, making him sit down. I held him close as he told me everything. When he finished, I paused before speaking.

"Don't kill yourself. You have your whole life ahead of you. You can ask me for help. Just come over anytime." He sniffled.

"I won't need to come over," he muttered, pulling away. I frowned.

"What?" I asked.

"Because..." He stood up and got down on one knee in front of me. My heart picked up speed. I couldn't breathe.

"I love you so much, Charlotte. You help me feel good. I want to be with you forever and ever and ever." He pulled out a velvet box and opened it to reveal a diamond ring. "Will you marry me?" Tears rolled down his cheeks, which I hoped were happy ones. I just nodded quickly.

"Yes yes yes yes. Yes." I lept into arms and cried.
