Anna's Choice
“If you walk through that door, you’re going to meet a man who will change your life,” Bethany said with a smile on her face.
“And how do you know this?” Anna asked skeptically.
“I’
ve been able to see things from the future recently,” Bethany said softly.
Anna placed her hand on Bethany’s forehead.
“Are you sick?” she asked. “Beth, you can’t possibly see the future. That’s crazy.”
“I don’t know what’s happening to me, Anna,” Bethany said. “Maybe I’m crazy, maybe I’m wrong, but I have to tell you what I saw.”
Anna felt uncomfortable, but she nodded.
“Through that door is the most amazing man you will ever meet,” Bethany said, her eyes glowing with excitement. “I swear, he is more wonderful that you could ever imagine, and he will make you so happy…”
Bethany’s expression then saddened.
“What is it, Beth?” Anna asked.
Bethany looked Anna in the eyes, and she seemed to be fighting back tears.
“He eventually has to leave,” Bethany said, forcing the words out of her mouth.
“What do you mean?” Anna asked.
She was stunned by how emotional her friend was getting. It made her wonder if this “premonition” was actually true, or if it was just a dream that Bethany had.
Bethany grabbed both of Anna’s arms gently, and she looked at her friend with motherly concern.
“Anna, if you walk through that door, you are basically going to meet prince charming, but I have to warn you that he will not be in your life forever. It’s going to kill you to have to let him go, but at the same time, the moments that you do have with him will change your life.”
“This is crazy,” Anna said, stepping back from Bethany.
“I knew you
wouldn’t believe me,” Bethany mumbled.
Anna and Bethany had been friends since they were in elementary school. Anna knew that Bethany
wouldn’t lie to her.
“No,” Anna said. “I believe you.”
“You do?” Bethany asked, a thrilled expression lighting up her face.
Anna nodded.
“Okay, well, you have to make up your mind quick or you’re going to miss him,” Bethany said.
“Prince charming, eh?” Anna asked. “But we won’t be together forever?”
“Unfortunately, no.”
“Then how is he price charming?” Anna asked as a million other questions raced through her head.
“Trust me, he is, but it’s not up to me to decide if he’s worth it or not,” Bethany said. “That’s up to you. You have to decide if a chance at true love is worth it.”
A chance at true love that will eventually come to an end? Anna thought, questioning the situation.
Why dive into something amazing that will come to an end?Anna closed her eyes and took a deep breath in. Her head felt like it was caught in a blender. She then opened her eyes and put her hand on the doorknob in front of her. She hesitated and bit her lip with anticipation.
Because even if it comes to an end, it is still something amazing, Anna thought.
She then turned the knob and walked through the door.
You Gotta Love Random Snip-Its
Here are two very random and different novel snip-its.
Yes, I have more novels on the way.
SNIP-IT ONE:“I still love you.”
The four little words jumped off her red lips like an Olympic diver jumping off a diving board.
They came out quick, but he happily absorbed them in silence. He was too busy looking her over and smiling on the inside to say
anything. He gently touched her arm -- just to be sure that she was real.
She searched his eyes and awaited the consequences of her words. It had been so long since she stared into those green eyes of his.
But had it been too long?
He gently pushed her
auburn curls out of her face and smiled. He reached down and kissed her red lips carefully, and as he pulled away, she watched a small tear glide down his face.
She thought back over all of the events that lead her to that moment, and she felt a rush of exhilaration. After a trip down a long and twisted road, she was right where she was supposed to be.
SNIP-IT TWO:Jane saw the good in Nathan.
Yeah, she saw a part of him that he
didn’t even know he had.
But eventually the angel mask came off.
To her, Nathan was still price charming – everything she wanted.
And yet, there was a sudden source of anger inside of him. He started to talk to her with cold words, and she wondered why he had to be so bland.
Why was it that he seemed to not care about anything? Was something wrong or broken? Had she done something wrong?
Or was that just his normal state of mind?
It took a while for Jane to realize Nathan’s secret.
She then wished that she hadn't tried to solve the puzzle.
Consequence
Yeah, I wasn't smart
I went and punched a hole in my heart
But I was trying to be practical
After all, you were going left
And I was going right
I didn't want things to end in a fight
I had too much on my plate
You had too much on the line
It was all too big of a sign
You could no longer be mine
So losing you was the consequence
Sure, I was trying to be intelligent
Because I didn't think we could find a balance
Yeah, this and that would be way too tense
But all that is irrelevant
Because being with you still makes the most sense
So my life is now a puzzle
I have school, work, friends
All those pieces are in
But there's one missing
Yeah, there's a big one that I lack
But it's too late
I won't get it back
I don't know how long it will take
My heart has suffered a significant break
This won't be easy to heal
But I guess I'll just have to deal
Oh, you're too far gone
I've lost this one
Yeah ...
Losing you was the consequence
Sure, I was trying to be intelligent
Because I didn't think we could find a balance
Yeah, this and that would be way too tense
But all that is irrelevant
Because being with you still makes the most sense
To Find Yourself
Sometimes it doesn’t get easier
No, sometimes it only gets harder
And sometimes you have to go farther
Farther then you’ve ever gone
And sometimes reality
Just doesn’t feel like reality
It’s as if you’re caught in a dream
Like you’re stuck in a trance
And you’re just waiting for something to feel real
But sometimes it’s just hard to feel
Anything at all
And sometimes you have to lose yourself
In order to find yourself
Yeah, life is a twisting road
It turns and it ends
But then sometimes it bends
To something new
Oh, sometimes it doesn’t get easier
But that doesn’t mean it has to get harder
Sometimes you just have to go a little farther
To find yourself
Impasse
He told her she should keep away
Yeah, he told her she probably
shouldn’t stay
But he loved her more than ever
He
didn’t want her to feel the pain
No, he
didn’t want to be the one to blame
For her worry
As time passes by
He continues to try
To keep his mind at ease
But the doctors say the time is near
And she’s there to wipe his wishful tears
From his face
What if your life was an hourglass?
What if your existence was at an impasse?
What if you wanted to leave in peace?
What if you
didn’t want others to feel sad?
What if you still wanted to live so bad?
What if you had to wish for a miracle?
He looked her in the eyes
Wishing they’d never have to say their goodbyes
But the cancer still spread
Still, with every passing day
He continued to pray
That he could have more time
He still tried to make her smile
And laugh every once in a while
But he also made her promise
Promise that when he did die
She’d remember the good times and refuse to cry
No, he
didn’t want her to cry
What if your life was an hourglass?
What if your existence was at an impasse?
What if you wanted to leave in peace?
What if you
didn’t want others to feel sad?
What if you still wanted to live so bad?
What if you had to wish for a miracle?
So she held on to her pride
When she got the call that he had died
And she just looked up at the sky
She loved him with all her heart
She was hoping they’d never be apart
But he was gone
Still, she remembers their wedding day
And how she
couldn’t remember what to say
After the preacher spoke
And she remembers all those silly songs
That he’d get stuck in her head all day long
And she thinks of him and smiles
Oh, how he made her smile
And laugh every once in a while
