Learn to Love Again

2013
'Good morning!' I say, as my beautiful girlfriend awakens. I find myself watching her sleeping because
she seems so content and peaceful. It makes me happy to know she is relaxed with me. I have never
been in love with anybody in my life. If i ever lost her, my world would be over because she is all i
have ever dreamed about since my mom died.
'Good morning to you too mr!' She smiles up at me after her eyes have adjusted to the morning
sunshine beaming through the curtains. I smile back at her and lean down to kiss her gently.
'Do you want some breakfast? Anything you like and you can eat it in bed!' I asked, flicking my
eyebrow. She giggles up at me.
'It depends what time it is?' She smiles and leans up on her elbows.
'It's a little after 7. What time you gotta be at work?' I asked.
'What? Omg i should be there for 7.30. I'm gonna have to skip breakfast. But i'll see you at the stadium
after i interview some of your friends. i promise!' She says, rushing up to shower and get dressed as
fast as possible. I work as a professional footballer but i don't really have that many friends through
my job. Some of the guys live their lives in ways, i don't agree with. My girlfriend works as a interviewer
for a professional sports website covering the team. That's how we met.
'Okay, ill see you later. I'll be in at 11 for practice. The games at 3pm' I shout as she is just near about
ready to go.
'Okay babe! I'll see you there. Now give me a kiss because work sucks!' she giggled, standing at the
foot of the bed. I walked to her and gave her a long kiss. I kissed her again and it got pretty heated.
I hiked up her pencil skirt and lifted her over to the desk at the bottom of our bedroom. What happened
next definately made her late for work....We both fell asleep so i drove her into work with me at 11.
When we got to the stadium, we both said our daily 'i love you's' and we went our seperate ways.
Practice ran until around 2pm. Coach likes to work us all pretty hard and we haven't even played
the game yet. I didn't see my girlfriend until i was ready to play the game. she gave me a quick peck
on the lips and we all ran out there as a team. During the game, i looked up at where the vip seats are
to wink at my girl. I still can't believe how lucky i am to have her. Tonight was the night i planned on
proposing. Right after the game. I hope she says yes.
About 20 minutes into the game, a strange sounding voice very unfamiliar to all of us took to the
announcement microphone and made an announcement.
'I've never been much of a fan of football. in fact, i despise the sport, but i managed to shrug it off
but when my wife tells me she's having an affair with one of the players from this team. I came to
personally introduce myself. To the bastard who has been fucking my wife Syndey, im gonna rip
your fucking head off. Syndey said hi, that was before i broke her neck with my bare hands'
The crowd started whistling thinking this was a joke, but i somehow knew in my heart and head this
was serious. A couple of loud bangs, sounding like gun shots filled the air. Then we saw onsite
security and police men being shot one by one. Everyone began to panic, but a group of 7 or 8 men
took stand in different corners of the stadium. One particular person was pointing a sniper looking rifle
at us. I knew this wasn't gonna end in a good way. The sniper guy was talking to somebody for a second
before he went back to the gun and started shooting at the team. We all started to run in different
directions, trying to dodge the bullets coming at us. I must have saw at least 5 or 6 of my friends with
bullet wounds laying on the ground. The first person i thought about looking for was my girlfriend
because i have to protect her, no matter what. id prefer to be hurt than let anything happen to her.
'Gareth, have you seen Eva?' I asked one of my team mates. He shook his head. I looked everywhere
inside the arena. I had to find her so i went back out there. I looked around finally saw her hiding under
a seat quivering with fear. I had never seen her so scared. When she spotted me, she cried harder.
'Joey' she reached out but i couldn't get to her. The stand she was in was only reachable unless you
went to the other side of the arena. I tried running across but bullets were flying at me, there was no
way of getting her.
'Baby, listen to me. you gotta try and get to the other side of the arena. Please. I'll meet you on the
other side. i love u baby. be careful and dont be scared. Your gonna be okay.' i told eva.
I looked from my safe zone to where the other side of the arena is open and i saw eva come out. she
saw me and came running towards me. I started to panic. I knew they could probably see her but fear
must have taken over and she decided to run for her life. They tried shooting her numerous times
but she managed to dodge them all. Until she got very close to where i was standing and i heard a
bang. it seemed to echo through my ears but i didn't care. my girlfriend was more important.
something was wrong. The smile she was wearing faded slowly from her face and she stopped
walking. she looked down at herself and dropped to her knees then on her front. I ran out there,
not caring what happened to me. I saw a man on the pitch and he pointed a gun at me. 2 more bangs
echoed and i started to feel cold. Almost instantly i knew i had been shot. My legs gave way and i fell
to the floor beside Eva. I looked at her and reached my hand out to take hers. I managed to find it and
she wrapped her cold fingers around mine. I smiled to her and she spoke.
'Joey. Im shot!' she says and i notice her turning a almost grey colour and i knew she was in a bad way.
tears fell down my face instantly. I hope a ambulance comes soon, i cant lose her.
'Im so cold!' she says and i blinked crying my heart out. 'Eva you can't leave me here alone. i need you'
I said and she started blinking slowly.
'I'll always be with you. Always. Im fading Joey. Im so tired! Joey can you do something for me'
'I'll do anything for you!' i sobbed harder.
'love again!' she says. Almost like a whisper 'I Love you'
I watch as her eyes started to close. 'I will. I love you. i always will'
Her fingers go loose in my hand and i knew she had gone up to heaven now. I started to feel very
dizzy.
I woke up in a hospital. I had been shot in the abdomen and shoulder. Apparently i was lucky to be alive
but maybe i don't have a life without eva.
I finally recovered from my injuries after 6 months of rehab and recovery rest. I have been diagnosed
with chronic depression and i drink a lot now. It helps me cope with things. I had thought about
ending my life numerous times but i knew eva wouldnt be happy with it so turned to alcohol.
i remember the promise i made her, to
'Love Again'......
I don't think i ever will love again. i'll die as depressed as i am right now. i can see it now.
god please, give me eva back!
