We Are The Roses

PART 2

"YES", Maya screamed. " Yes, Dawson I'll marry you, of course I will". 

The next couple of days were filled with congratulations and cards that at one point they thought they would drown in the sea of cards lying all around them. Their families came round and they sat into the early morning laughing and talking about the wedding. 

"We want the wedding to be in a month, which will be our five year anniversary. I am going dress shopping next Saturday and he's going Tux shopping on the same day. We have set a day and we are going shopping or everything else either next Sunday or in 2 weeks." Maya rambled hardly stopping for a breath as the excitement rose inside her. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"AHHHHHH" Maya screamed at 5am on the Saturday morning. "What Maya, what's happened?" Dawson asked concerned. 

"What's Happened Dawson, whats happened it is Saturday. Saturday. Dress shopping.".  

"Okay Maya" Dawson said as he rolled over to go to sleep again.

As Maya entered the dress shop and wished good luck upon her husband-to-be. Ali was already inside waiting on Maya. "You're late Maya, I thought you were going to be on time for once" Ali growled under her breath as she smiled. "On time, I don't know what that is since we started... well life" Maya giggled. 

"Ballgown, non-traditional, maybe blue. Maybe black. Maybe lace. Sequins. Sparkle. I want to be a princess. Please." Maya politely asked Naomi the shop assistant. 

From the back of the shop all you heard was. "No thank you. Maybe. No. Okay. Em not really my style." There was a pause until her voice rippled through the now silent air "That's the one, yes... thank you so much". 

From the doorway Maya appeared in a stunning navy blue ballgown dress with lace and lots and lots of sequins with a long lacy train, a blue veil on a diamond filled tiara sat primly on top of her hair. "That is beautiful Maya" Ali screamed. "I'm getting this one, please. Thank you."

A couple of minutes later Maya emerged ready to leave the store and head over to Dawson to see if he was having any luck. They met him outside a couple of blocks away. "I have found a Tuxedo, have you found a dress?" Dawson asked. "Yes I have and I can't wait until the wedding so I can show you." 

On the walk home they all stopped to pet a lively pup that looked exactly like Rex.  It was a peaceful evening. With a lovely cool breeze and the fresh smell of nature, a light shower of rain fell upon them. They walked in silence, enjoying the evening. 

A shriek erupted through the air "HARRY, HARRY STOP". They turned around to see a little blonde boy (Harry) running into the road at full speed. Directly in the way of a speeding car. His Mum screaming with no effect and everyone else standing watching as a young boy was about to get hit. 

Suddenly someone ran out into the middle of the road and pushed the boy off the road and to safety. As the helper lay hit and bleeding on the road with the car driving off, faster than it came. The young boy safely in the Mothers arms. A devastated cry bellowed through the air. 

"NO". 

"MAYAAAA"
