I let a tear slide down my cheeks. Time, that is something I don't have. For those of you who're wondering who I am, my name David Jayson McRyan...I'm 20 this year and I just lost the love of my life, Kelvin in a plane accident... they said that they couldn't find his body so I sold our apartment and lived with my best friend, Jeniffer in Denver, Colorado. *knock,knock* I looked up and Jeniffer walked in. "You still miss him don't you? Move on Dave, I hate to see you hurting like this and I bet that Kelvin does too!" she said. When I heard Kelvin's name, i started crying hard. "I'm so sorry Dave, I shouldn't have mentioned his name." she apologize." It's okay, it's... just that... I...I miss him" I said between sobs. "Tell you what, why don't I take you too a concert to cheer you up, okay?" she said. This caught my attention for i have not been to a concert even though I'm 20. "Who's concert?" I asked. "My, my... I so happen to have front row seats to the 'Backstreet Boy's concert, care to join?" she chirped. "O..okay," I whispered softly and took a nap. When I woke up, it was already 9 a.m and saw Jen watching me sleep just now and said "How're you doing now after that nap... you just looked so peaceful as if the world is a safe place to be," she said. "Why don't we have breakfast at the cafe nearby," I suggested softly. "Sure,". She drove us to the famous cafe although I don't know it's name... I think it is called 'Cherry Blossom' or something. *At the cafe* David: As we entered, we were greeted by the waiter, took us to our seat and took our orders." Excuse me, Jen but I have to use the restroom" I said. "Sure," she answered. As I entered the restroom, I heard screams from outside so I ran out because I thought it was a holdup and see if Jen was alright but was knocked by someone and both of us fell to the ground. "Uff," I puffed. I felt dizzy and don't have the strength to get up. The person that knocked me down was in a hurry I guess because he was nowhere to be seen. "What happened? Why are you on the floor Dave?" Jen's voice filled my ears. "Got knocked down by someone, ...went to the men's restroom," I said as I pointed towards the door. This did it and I saw rage in her eyes. "Wait 'till I get my hands on that bastard!!!!!" She practically screamed as she busted the door ( Jen is very protective over her friends especially me and when she is mad, she is really mad and things like 'No women in men's restroom' policy can stop her. "Ohhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyy Goddddddd!!!!!!!!!!" I heard her scream. I quickly ran towards the restroom to see her frozen, not moving but luckily still breathing. "What's the matter?" I asked her as I walked closer and in the stall to where she was standing and staring at was a cute blond guy with the most deep ocean blue eyes I've ever seen who looked horrified and was about too pee in his pants. He then said, "You're gal ?" and I answered, "Nope, just a friend," "You're...you're _____________________________________________________________________________ Well e-mail me 'cause I want to know whether it will be Brian or Nick.
