Okay, I watched a commercial...for something...and got this idea yesterday, so quickly wrote a story about it. Enjoy.
---------------------------
He Comes
I woke up today…and he was there.
It startled me at first, then I just sighed, and realized it was going to be an eventful day. Everything I was planning, I was going to resolve today.
I had to.
So, I got up and made a list. A list of everything that I wanted to do that day, and wrote it down as fast as I can.
After I completed the list, I also wrote a note. As I wrote it, I checked over my shoulder and as expected he was still there. I left my house and called my friend.
My friend, she has been there ever since I could remember. She’s my best friend, and I have never worked up the nerve to ask her the one thing that could make or break this friendship.
I grew scared.
So scared that I could hardly get my car keys out of my pocket, so scared that I could barely fit them in the keyhole to open my car. I looked in my rearview mirror, to make sure it was clear to leave the drive. It was, except for him, of course.
I was almost too scared to drive…for obvious reasons. However, I managed to make it to her place without having an anxiety attack or worse. We sat down, and had some friendly conversation, but I had to say what I wanted to say.
I had to, he was still there.
I asked what I wanted to ask, and she burst into tears smiling. She was going to ask me today too. Ironic, isn’t it? I kept rushing my hands in my pocket, fingering the list I made. She asked to see, and I explained that this was a list of stuff I had to today. She never asked why I had to. She saw in my eyes why I had to.
I just do. After all, he is there.
One by one she helped me complete my list, all the time was wary of everything I was doing, I didn’t want to end this too soon. I could tell she was nervous as well, but she had a different kind of tension surrounding her. It didn’t matter if she or I were nervous, the point was that at this moment, I was happy. More importantly: I was ready. I was ready even though the list wasn’t complete,
I was ready.
He laid his hand on my shoulder, and whispered those words only I could hear. The words I had been waiting all day with nervous anticipation to hear him say.
“Your Time Has Come.”
I ever so slightly nodded my head, to show I understood. I lean in close to her and whispered in her ear.
“Thanks for the best day of my life.”
Without warning, a traffic accident occurred. She got away with a broken arm, but felt a pain worse than any broken arm. She looks at the list one more time.
1. Date her.
2. Eat out with her at a restaurant.
3. Ask her out
4. Take her to the park
5. Hear her singing a song.
6. Carry her weight on my shoulders.
7. Open a gift to give to her
8. Make her happy.
9. Endow her with good feelings.
10. Show her the best day of her life.
She cries some more.

Left you a comment in Cannon, but it was very good, to make a long story short.

No problem. I guess it's my "thing" :P
I love the originality of this story, and what I said before, if you broaden this, it could be a lot more interesting.

If I get an idea on how to broaden it...I will definately do it.
