Second Chances

*Zayn’s POV*

I finish the comb stroking throughout my hair.

My pants are pulled up right, my shirt is tucked in securely, my tie is tightened around my collar, and my shoes are cleaned and tied.

Today is graduation day.

My first step into the real world.

The second step will be taking care of my soon-to-be fiancé.

“You clean up well.”

I look back and see Ana’s Mom walking behind me.

“Thanks, Ms. Jardine.” I nod.

“May I ask you something?” I ask.

“You want to marry my daughter?” she says.

“Yes. How did you find out?”

“So you do want to marry her?”

“Yes.” I blush.

She takes a minute to respond.

“Ana’s really fragile at times. She’s stubborn but, she can change anyone’s life.” She begins.

“She changed mine completely.” I blurt.

“Take care of her. Move slowly with her. You’re graduating and she still has one more year left. But, you have my permission. Just don’t hurt her.” She sighs.

“I never will.” I say taking her in my arms. “She’s my future now.”

After hours of listening to graduation speeches, watching slideshow memories, and watching other graduates walk the stage, it’s finally my turn.

I walk across the stage and shake the principle’s hand, receiving my diploma.

I turn to the crowd and see my Mom, Ana’s Mom, and my pregnant girlfriend smiling.

I take my seat, and watch all the other graduates.

I even grin at the ones who thought I wasn’t going to graduate.

Even the teachers.

Harry walks the stage and clap for him.

At least we both accomplished something.

-

After the ceremony, Ana and I take a walk along the beach.

I feel as if it’s a great way to propose to her.

The sun is setting and the weather is nice.

I hope this is an evening to remember.

“So how does it feel?” Ana asks.

“How does what feel?”

“How does it feel to have graduated?”

“It just feels like another day.” I shrug.

Ana frowns.

“What about when the babies come?” she asks placing her hand on her baby bump.

“That will be a new chapter in my life.” I say putting my hand over hers and placing my lips on her own.

We stay silent and hear the birds up above chirping.

We watch the waves wash upon the shore.

I think it’s time.

I turn so that I’m facing her.

Ana places both of her hands in mine and I stare in her eyes, her beautiful eyes.

I kneel down on my knee.

Ana’s eyes widen.

Her face looks frightful.

My heart drops down into my stomach but I continue with the plan.

Ana watches as I pull my Mom’s ring out of my pocket.

“I wanted to wait until you were out of high school. But I couldn’t wait that long. I need you now.” I say watching her eyes.

I hear her breathing quicken.

“There have been many moments in my life where I have been speechless, but you make my life worth living and you changed me by having me believe in love and happiness.” I say with hopeful eyes.

Ana doesn’t show a response.

“Anastasia Rose Jardine, will you marry me?”

Ana stares at the ring.

Then at me.

“Zayn, I-I…..” she starts to stay with tears arising and her voice trembling with a frightened tone.
