His driver drove him to Sarah’s apartment.
He saw that the lights were off.
She was sleeping, but Jason didn’t care.
He wanted to see her and say sorry.
He tried knocking on the door.
But Sarah didn’t open the door.
- 17.
His neighbor called the manager.
He found out that Sarah moved out.
He didn’t know where she went.
く
She was gone.
Jason was scared.
He lost her.
He might never see her again.
Sarah’s mom tricked everyone.
The workers all felt bad for Sarah.
They got kicked out.
Jason was crying.
Flowers die, but they grow back.
She left and wouldn’t come back.
Г
Jason got a call that Sarah’s dad was sick
and in the hospital.
He had been there during her wedding.
Jason and Sarah’s dad had ruined her.
- 18.
At the door, Tiffany yelled. “Jason, don’t do
this to me. I am pregnant!”
“Jason?” Sarah’s dad looked at him.
Jason was disgusted. “I didn’t sleep with her.”
“I swear.”
“That is good.” Sarah’s dad waved them
away.
く
The workers dragged them out.
Sarah’s dad looked at the flowers.
The flowers die in the spring.
“I did Sarah wrong.”
“I promised her mom that I would take care of
her.”
“Will I get punished?”
“Sarah, what are you doing?”
Sarah was nice.
Why did he hurt her.
- 19.
Sarah and Chris got married the next year.
Heather did my makeup.
I didn’t invite my family or friends from D.C.
But they found out.
My dad and Jason came.
Chris asked me for permission.
I looked in the mirror.
I looked different.
Chris gave me flowers.
Chris was good looking.
く
We looked at each other.
“I don’t want to see them.”
Chris nodded. “Ok, I will tell them to leave.”
“OK.”
I didn’t want to look back at the past.
Those hurt.
I was ready.
Chris was waiting for me.
I grabbed his hand.
Our hands grabbed each other.
く
Chris kissed me for a long time.
“Sarah.”
Chris said it in my ear. “I love you, Sarah.”
“A long time ago, and a long time from now.”
I looked up at him. “Chris.”
“I will try to love you.”
He hugged me. “Ok.”
- 20.
The wedding was fancy.
Jason and Sarah’s dad didn’t get in.
Sarah’s dad got sent to the hospital.
L
He was waiting for her.
Jason knew that Sarah got married.
He was jealous.
Sarah used to tell him about Chris.
That’s why Sarah tried to not talk about him.
Jason could tell that Chris loved Sarah.
Jason felt the same way before.
He realized he messed up.
It was too late.
Chris took her away.
Jason felt pain.
Their home was filled with flowers.
The flowers were blooming.
Jason drove back home, and drove off the
bridge.
He drove really fast and crashed.
There was a loud sound.
The flowers were blooming in someone else’s
home.
If he could go back, he would love her.
