Love
Always
4
I was seven
years old when my one true love proposed to me, and it was on our
shared birthday. He had taken my hand and lead me to our old
playroom upstairs, down the hall from our bedrooms. He told me to
sit patiently he would be right back and then he headed down the
hall to his room.
He came back and
was holding something behind his back. "Zandria," he
began. Even at seven years old we had not outgrown our childish
nicknames for each other, and I am certain that we never
will. "Zandria, I love you more than anything." that
was how he began. At this point I turned smiling to him and
responded as I always do. "Ace you know I love you
too!".
"Good" he said. "Zandria, someday we are gonna get
married and I know that cuz I will love you forever and ever. I
just hope that you will never leave me." I nodded my head
and told him exactly how I felt. "Ace, I love you more
than anything and will love you always. And I know that we will
get married someday because I will never stop loving
you."
"Promise?" He asked, and we pinky swore on it. From
behind his back he produced identical necklaces. A heart, broken
in half and each necklace had one half. He showed me one, the one
that was to be mine, it said "love". He fastened it
around my neck, and showed me his. His said "Always". I
clipped it around his neck and I hugged him tighter than
I ever had before.
We ran downstairs together where we were shocked to see that our
mothers had thrown us a joint surprise birthday party. Our
friends brought us both gifts, and our mothers had made pizza and
cake for everyone. We ate pizza, and then came the cake.
Just like every year we made our wishes and blew out the candles.
And as we had every year since our fourth birthday parties, Ace
whispered his wish in my ear, that I would never leave him.
And after that I smiled and confided that my wish had been
the same, that he would never leave me.
We opened our presents and were over joyed when we saw everything
that we got. Of course it doesn't matter who got what because we
shared everything anyways. We were closer than ever.
That night we continued our routine as we always did. Said
goodnight to our mothers, and then met in the hallway.
"Always remember and never forget, Ace loves Zandria"
he stated smiling. My lips curled into a smile and I responded
with, "Always remember and never forget, Zandria loves
Ace". Then he kissed my cheek, we hugged, and as we did he
whispered in my ear, "And someday we will get married
because I will love you always and forever".
I wake up to the sun streaming through my windows, and Ace
leaning over my bed gently shaking my shoulders. "Come
on," he tells me "We have to get ready for
school!". It is our first day of middle school. We are
eleven, at the age where boys and girls usually aren't still
friends. But me and Ace will always be friends no matter what. It
is the age where kids our age begin dating and "Going
out". Me and Ace though, we have been "going out"
since we were four, at least in our own minds.
We walk into school hand in hand. Just like every other year we
have miraculously ended up in all of the same classes. Ace has
grown into quite a handsome young man. He is taller than me,
though he always had been with beautiful brown eyes and shaggy
brown hair.
As we walked in many people were staring. Liza, the most popular
girl in our grade came storming over. She has always had a thing
for Ace, and I know that but I am not so sure that he does.
"What are you doing with...her, when you could be
with us?" she questioned referring to the popular girls.
That was when she grabbed his arm, pulling him towards her and
leaned in and kissed him.
