Kevin's POV
Life pretty much sucked. What do you do, when the girl of your dreams, refuses to spend the rest of her life with you? I don't think there is an answer for that, because nobody really knows. I sure as heck don't know what to do. But, that's exactly what happened to me. After Carson was shot it got me thinking. That could easily have been Hayley. Hayley could be lying in a hospital bed, un-responsive and I could be Joe. Waiting for her to wake up. I didn't want to risk ever losing Hayley, so I did what I could. I proposed. She shot me down. Now everything's messed up.
*The Night I Proposed*
"Hayley, there's something I've been wanting to ask you." I started, my hands shaking nervously.
I'd suggested taking a romantic walk through the gardens at the park. It was sunset and everything was perfect, or so I thought.
"Ever since this thing with Carson happend, it's made me realise, that when you have something good, you can't let it slip away." I said, slipping my hand inside my coat pocket. "That's why I wonderd if..." I continued, slipping onto one knee. "Hayley Stevens. Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?" I asked.
"Ohh Kevin." she smiled. She crouched onto the floor beside me and kissed me passionatly. I kissed her back, smiling, knowing that I would be the happiest guy alive. "No." she whispered, letting her eyes drop down.
I pulled away and lifted her chin, so I could look into her eyes.
"I'm sorry Kevin." she started. "I can't do this when Carson could be hanging on a thread. I don't want anything to ruin this, and it just doesn't seem right."
"But, what if Carson never wakes up?" I asked.
"Kevin. I love you. Isn't that enough." she whispered, kissing my cheek, then hugging me tightly.
*Flashback*
It's been totally awkward ever since that night. I still love her, and I do still want to marry her, but she seemed so upset. Especially with the whole Riley thing. Our life at some point was perfect, and then everything came crashing down. I always thought we'd have each other, but I'm not even sure of that.
Riley's POV
"Dad! You can't do this! I have a life here." I yelled, storming into my room.
Dad! You heard right. Remember the guy that hit my Mom when I was younger, so we moved away to have a normal life? Well, he decided to come waltzing back into it. He said he'd been to rehab and that he was terribley sorry. Blah, blah, blah. Now he was trying to take me back to Georgia with him, and apparently, because I'm still 16, HE CAN! I can't believe he'd actually think I'd want to go. I have friends here. My boyfriend is here. I can't leave! It's my home. Dad - if you can really call him that - thinks I'm being dramatic, and said that I can't really be in love at 16, but what does he know about love. To him, love was beating around your wife and scaring your children! I hate him! Nick wasn't dealing well with this. His brothers were both becoming detached from him, and I was all he had at this moment. He knew he had to do something, but was there anything he could do?
"Nick. Can you come over please?" I sobbed, into my phone. All this crying was tiring.
"I'll be there in 10 minutes." he answered.
These past 2 months had being hard on everyone. Hayley had to deal with Kevin being distant. Being her sister, I knew how she really felt. She loved Kevin, more than she ever had, but she couldn't marry him when her best friend was lying in a coma! I thought Kevin would understand that. Then Joe was totally depressed over Carson. He spent more time at the Hospital than I did. Doctors are deciding whether to pull the plug, of course Joe doesn't know about this, else he'd have Big Rob guarding her room, constantly. Then my Dad showed up. Thinking he knew best for his daughter - which he hardly knew - and trying to tear me and Nick apart. Well I'm sorry, but it's not gonna happen!
"Riles?" Nick asked, pushing the door to my room open.
"Hey." I whispered, inviting him onto my bed. He quickly sat beside me and held me close.
"It's gonna be ok." he soothed. "I won't let him take you."
"Nick, everybody else is struggling. Maybe it's our time." I replied.
"I'm always gonna be here Riley. Always. I'll stop this from happening you don't deserve this."
I leaned my head into his shoulder and stayed there. I was perfectly happy like this, why'd everything have to be ruined.
I know this is late but I've had a busy day.
I dyed my hair red :D It's only really visible under the lights.
And I was in a car crash :S
Not bragging, but I could so be in a movie. The scream I gave was epic! The whole car spun and jeez I was freaked.
