Karter has been invited to a UNICEF Charity Ball tonight as he's one of the ambassadors for UNICEF. I was going obviously, not just as his date but as his assistant. Karter was coming to pick me up in an hour, I was almost done getting ready.

I'm wearing a dark purple V-neck sleeveless gown that falls to my feet. To compliment my dress I put on purple heels which aren't even visible due to the length of my dress and a pair of white diamond chandelier earrings with a matching ring. On top of that my hair was pulled back in a fancy low bun and my makeup consisted of a red-ish purplely look. I would say I looked pretty alright.

At exactly 7:00 my doorbell rang. Wow Karter's precisely on time today. I grab my phone from the dressing table and head to the door carefully.

This dress is a little hard to walk in as it's tight on the hips but it's alright. Nothing I can't handle.

I open the door to see Karter standing there in an all

    Marie3 months laterI was yet again woken by my alarm clock. Oh god. I hate Mondays. So freaking much. So much. Ugh. I pull the covers off my body and head to my shower. I really need to change my shampoo like my hair is falling in bunches. What's up with that? I've used Pantene my whole life and now I'm losing so much hair. Why?After my quick shower I change into a black suit with a white undershirt. I put my hair in a bun making me look extra sophisticated. I check myself out in the mirror and I literally look like a workaholic. I simply lookstrange so I decide to let down my hair as the bun made me look too extreme.I skip breakfast and directly head to my car. I've not been feeling the best these days, I have fever and headaches. It's just due to lack of sleep and mom thinks it's because of the weather change. She's probably right. Also I've been having these muscle pulls all the time as well as pain in my knees, I'

    Karter"Yeah I'll pick you up at 8. Be ready." I say."Okay. Can't wait." Marie says."Me too. Talk to you later babe.""Bye." Marie says and hangs up.Tonight Marie and I are celebrating our 10 month anniversary. It feels so strange to think about how fast time has passed up. Feels like just yesterday, I had spilled coffee on her pretty white and black dress. I still remember how she glared at me especially when I didn't bother apologizing to her.I'm taking Marie for a movie and then I'll be cooking dinner for her at my place. Marie has always been complaining about how we never go out to watch a movie, honestly it hurts my ego to go out and watch a movie with strange and weird people and not to mention the horny teenagers in the back and the crying babies. But for Marie's sake, I can happily sacrifice my ego.Right now it was 3 in the afternoon so I decided to get some work done while I'm free. However before I cou

    Marie"What do you say? Will you move in with Millie and I?" Karter asks, a very nervous smile present on his face.I open my mouth to speak but all the sudden my stomach clenches, I feel like my ovaries are burning and my head is spinning. Before I know it I'm losing my grip. I was about to hit the ground when Karter held onto me."Marie! Marie! Stay with me baby. Stay with me Marie." Karter's voice echoes through the room.I stare at the ceiling, slowly everything turning into a blur. Karter's voice was in the background as I slowly started to lose consciousness. Before I knew it, everything went black.The sudden light made my eyes burn and twitch. I open my eyes to see a very unfamiliar surrounding. I was in a hospital room. What happened to me? I turned my head to see Karter asleep on the chair beside me.The last thing I remember was that I was with Karter, we were spending our 10 mo

    KarterWith Marie in my arms, I rushed inside the emergency section of the hospital."Help! I need help!" I yelled. A few doctor's and nurses came running my way."Sir you need to stay here. We'll take it from here."One of the nurses said to me and they put Marie on one of the mobile beds.Marie was dragged across the hall into the surgery room.…..Hours later I was in the waiting room waiting for news. Words can't describe how f

    Marie"Are you sure you can't eat anymore Marie? You barely ate." Karter asks raising an eyebrow at me."I ate as much as I could handle Karter. If I eat anymore I'm afraid I'm going to vomit." I whine.Karter smiles, "Well then okay. The nurse should be coming with your medicine anytime soon. It's almost noon.""I don't mind her being late. I hate taking so much medication. They don't even taste very appealing." I scrunch my nose in disgust thinking of all the medicines.Karter chuckles at my comment, "They aren't meant to be delicious Marie. They're meant to heal you.""Still. It wouldn't kill anyone if they added a little flavor in them." I shrug."Here let me put this tray aside." Karter says picking up my food tray and placing it in a corner.Karter takes a seat beside me and holds onto my hand. He kisses the top of my hand and then weakly smiles at me."Marie. I need to tell you something." Karter

    Marie"You need to take your medication regularly Marie. Don't neglect it." Dr. Stevens says."Don't worry. I'll be regular with it all. I'm so happy I can finally leave the hospital. I'm missing real food way too much. I mean no offence doc. Hospital food isn't the best." I say to Dr. Stevens.Dr. Stevens smiles at me, "Don't worry I won't take any offence to your comment, you're not wrong.""When will I be coming for my next check up?""On Wednesday and by then I would like your final answer ofwhich reh

    Marie"Everything looks normal for now. You're following the diet plan I gave you right Marie?" Dr. Stevens asks."Yes, I'm eating healthy everything these days!""Good. Karter told me that you've decided on going to Sheepshead. Is that correct?""Yeah. It seemed like the best option we have.""Indeed. You made a good choice. When will you be admitting yourself at the center?""Tomorrow actually. We've gotten all the information we need and I'll be going there tomorrow." I state."Good. You've taken immediate action. I like that. You'll be staying there for two months. I'll try my best to come there at least for your checkup. But if for some reason I will not be able to come you have plenty of doctors there including the ones who'll be looking after you so it's fine." Dr. Stevens says."Alright." I say and get up from my seat."I'll send your file which contains all your medication and diets to Dr. Richa

    KarterTwo months later"You can come by 4 so I can discuss a few things with you." Dr. Richard says."Okay I'll be there." I say."Alright Karter. See you then mate.""See you then." I say and hang up.Today I'll be going to pick Marie up. It's been exactly two months since Marie went to Sheepshead. We haven't really spoken since then. As per Dr. Richard's order. I talked to her once but it was very brief. Millie has been asking me every day for the past month when Marie would be back. That little girl misses Marie more then anything really.Ever since we found out Marie has Lupus I don't know I just haven't been the same. Everyone seems to notice it. I've been depressed and stressed about nothing in particular. I just can't control it, all my friends even point out that my attitude always changes the entire environment.I try my best for Millie not to notice this change in me but I really have no con

    12 years laterMarieI felt a pair of arms tighten around my waist and a few kisses were being planted on my neck. I smile as my eyes slowly start to open.I turn the other way to be faced with a smiling Karter ,"Morning beautiful.""Good Morning handsome." I smile at him. I was still semi asleep."How'd you sleep?" Karter asks."The usual. Good." I smile."I'm going to go get started with breakfast okay?""Okay." I smile yet again."It's still early, rest for a while before the little rascals' wake up." Karter says as he places a kiss on top of my forehead."I will. Thanks babe." I smile."Anything for you." Karter flashes me one of his billion dollar smiles and walks to the bathroom.I really am the luckiest girl in the world. I turn the other side to see a few pictures on our bedside table. One was of Karter, Millie and I on our wedding day. Millie was just a little girl

    Karter"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. Karter Allan, you may kiss your bride." The pastor says."Finally." I mumble before latching my lips onto Marie's.The rest of the audience start to clap and cheer for us. Marie and I smile into the kiss as we deepen the kiss. We pull away and look into each other’s eyes."I love you." I say."And I love you." Marie smiles.We walk down the aisle hand in hand with everyone cheering and clapping beside us. I was smiling so much that

    Marie1 year laterOne thing I hate the most in this world is dieting. I just hate dieting. I hate it. Maybe I'm being a bit too cynical because I haven't eaten proper food in over a week now. I'm on a juice cleanse. I'm surviving on smoothies and boy do I hate them. Just one more day until I can eat solid food again. Thinking about it is making me so happy. Tomorrow is going to be magical not because I'm getting married but because I can finally eat junk again. Can tomorrow come by any faster."Marie? You can come out anytime today!" My mom yells from outside the bathroom. I was trying on my wedding dress right now. I forgot. I was lost in my thoughts."Just one second mom!" I say and quickly start to fit into my wedding dress.I zip myself in and walk out of the bathroom carefully. Can't ruin this dress, it's very important for tomorrow.Everyone outside gasps as soon as I step out of the bathroom. I give all of t

    Karter"Come on. Get up sleepy head. Your friend's Cindy is coming over today remember? We can't have her here with you sleeping, can we?" I ask Millie.Millie jolts up in her bed, "Is Cindy here?" She asked sleepily."No she isn't but she'll be here in a while sweetheart. Why don't we go downstairs and eat breakfast or do you want to take a shower first?" I ask Millie."Breakfast." Millie mumbles rubbing her eyes."Okay then let's go downstairs. Come on." I get up and open my arms and pick up Millie who's still pretty sound asleep.

    MarieI anxiously pace across my apartment waiting for Karter. Ugh. Why am I so nervous and freaked out? I need to calm down a little.There was a knock on my door and I immediately look up. Should I pretend like I'm not home so he can leave? No stop being ridiculous Marie.I kid you not, my hands were literally shaking as I held onto the doorknob. What is wrong with me? I need to calm down and take a breath before talking to Karter. He'll probably think I'm on drugs or something like that.I take a deep breath and unlock the door. Karter was standing there with a polite smile on his face."Hey." Karter greets me."Hi. Thanks for c

    MarieHave you ever just stayed up all night because you were too lost in your thoughts? Well I have. All night I kept thinking about my life. I know this must sound so cliché and maybe I sound like such a romantic right now but all night one person was continuously on my mind and that person was Karter.Tonight, was nice. It was better than I expected honestly. But there has been one thing that has been on my mind the entire night. Even beforeLouis and Ellie came. Am I still in love with Karter? The real question should be did I ever even stop loving him? I forgave him, I know that I did.But do I still love him?…The next morning, I was awoken by phone buzzing by my side. God. I want to sleep. Scratch that. I need to sleep. Ugh. I press answer and press my phone to my ear."Hello?""M. Don't tell me you're still in bed right now." Nina warns."It's a Sunday and it's" I remove my phone f

    KarterI quickly make a stop at the flower shop before heading over to Marie's place. She wanted to have the double date at her place and wanted to cook herself.I was really hoping this could just be a one to one date but Marie set her own conditions. I could always give Liam a call and tell him to make anexcuse and cancel but I can't do that. Marie is starting to trust me again, even something so little might make her change her mind for good. Can't letthat happen now can I? I need to respect her decision and understand that I can't always get what I want.I stand outsi

    MarieGod, I hate Tuesdays. For me they're worse than Mondays. They just remind you that you still have an entire long ass week before your weekend starts off. Ugh. I hate leaving my warm and cozy bed. It's too hard for me.After my morning routine, I head outside. It's an awfully cold day today. Gosh I really wish I could go inside and crawl into my comfortable warmbed but duty calls.Since I switched branches as in since I left the headquarters to work at Carl's branch, I have to wake up way earlier in the morning as my current office is more then 45 minutes away from my apartment so that fucking sucks.

    KarterThe purpose of the last three months of my life can be summed up in a single word-realization. I realized several things in the past three months one of the them being that I'm a complete idiot. An asshole, a dick, an inconsiderate pig. Those are just few of many adjectives I would use to describe myself.At the beginning of this year, I had everything. I really did. Let me elaborate. My job was going great, I had met an amazing girl who accepted me for me and who made me open up to everything, my daughter had a motherly figure in her life who she looked up to, all my friends loved my girlfriend. Well everything was amazing because of one special person. I'm pretty sure you all know who that is.I'm still earning in millions, I still have my friends and my loving daughter by my side but my heart isn't truly happy with the stupid decisions I've made in the previous months. As any normal person would do after a break up, I started to isolat
