The day that changed everything

My name is Daniela. At, first I was just a normal student but for the past couple of months, my parents have been going through a divorce… So I started having trouble at school. My grades have dropped in most subjects. My teachers tried to help but I was just falling apart and even worse I became depressed. The worst thing was parents didn't have time for me because they were busy fighting in court for the house, custody …

One day at the beginning of my class, the teacher announced that we would be getting a new student in our class. His name was Adrian. When he walked in ,everybody warned him that I was lonely and depressed but he sat next to me anyway. He asked my why they were mean to me but I didn't want him to know, so I said that it's none of his business. After that I noticed there were some letters addressed to me in my locker but I didn't know who put them there. Later I heard that Adrian put it there. I confronted him about it .He said that he saw how sad I was and depressed. Since that moment we became inseparable and we made each other laugh, happy and he helped me overcome depression. On a random Sunday we agreed to go to the movies and suddenly he asked me to be his girlfriend. I accepted, we both threw a party to celebrate . When I met his parents they were nice and kind especially his little sister. On our 7th anniversary he proposed, while we both cried happy tears I knew he was the love of my life. He threw a huge party . We invited everyone we knew. At the party we created many memories. My favourite one was that my parents announced that they were getting married again. I was so happy! At the wedding Adrian wore a nice black suit with black shoes, I wore this stunning navy blue sparkly dress. It was just magical seeing them so happy and together. One afternoon Adrian sent me a message saying that we were going to surprise dinner and to dress nicely. I was so happy so I started getting ready. For my outfit I picked a nice red dress. When we arrived, the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Then out of nowhere my parents showed up. I was so surprised and happy to see them. We talked a little bit and everyone ordered a different dish. The food was so delicious, the service was great. When we came home I asked Adrian when we should go cake tasting for our wedding , we both agreed that we would do it in 2 days and we scheduled our wedding date. Don't worry we booked the wedding venue. The date is October 3rd (3 months till the wedding) . About the cake tasting we picked out one flavour: pistachio with white chocolate, it tasted so good. On August 27th I tried on the wedding dress. It had white gems and flowers , it looked like something from a fairytale. Finally my wedding date arrived , first the ceremony went great and smooth. The wedding was so beautiful, my dad walked me down the aisle. Adrian and I will always remember this day

That moment, standing beside him changed my life forever. He looked at me with eyes full of love, this was the beginning of our love story. I will be forever grateful to him for saving me, when I couldn't save myself.
