you lie in bed.
you've just lost your boyfriend-john.
you sit up and all your happy memories flood your head.
the clearest one is when you first met. that's your favourite. whenever you think about it, you normally have a smile on your face. this time you can't, it's too hard to smile.
there's a knock on your door and john's sister, ada, walks in.
she's your best friend and you've known each other since you were children.
ada sits next to you. she pulls you into a tight hug and whispers in your ear "i'm sorry. i'm sorry that you lost the love of your life."
you pull out of the hug and look at ada "he was your brother! loosing a family member is worse but to me, he was only a boyfriend."
ada grasps your hands in hers "it's not though! you two had your life planned out! you had a plan to grow old and die together!"
"you're right. i really want him to come back to me so we can live that fantasy. but it will never happen" tears roll down your face.
you two sit in silence for a minute until you break it "do you think he's in a good place, ada?"
"we're talking about john shelby. of course he is." ada reassures you.
you go back into silence and you lay back but ada only holds your hand again "i promise, someone else will come along. although, knowing you, i'm sure you don't want someone else." she reaches in a drawer and pulls out a small, black, velvet box and sits back down "i think you should have this. john told me that he was going to start your plan."
you take the box out of her hand and open it. you gasp!
inside is a ring! john was going to propose to you.
you sit there, your eves closed, picturing it. it's the best thing in your head right now.
but the thought that it never got to happen makes you cry again.
you lie back and so does ada. for the last time today, she locks your hands together and lays back too "john would have hated to see you sad and i'm sure he's watching us, looking over you to make sure nothing bad happens. so please, don't cry."
you stop but still lie motionless. thinking...
"john, please come back to me."

hope you liked another sad one. ❤️
