I hate getting flashbacks from the things I don't want to remember because I know I would never get them back ~Anonymous

FLASHBACK (6 years ago)

"I love you Alie," Adriano said kneeling down on one knee, holding a diamond ring in his hand and looking so gorgeous. Those grey eyes shone and looked at me with so much love in them. I couldn't look away from them. They were mesmerizing.

"I love you too Adri" I smiled, which made him smile too. My eyes watered, overwhelmed by everything happening around me. He slid the ring into my finger, stood up towering over me, and kissed me softly yet passionately, expressing all his feelings towards me while holding me tight in his arms. The kiss was soft, which sent butterflies in my stomach. I could feel all his emotions but the most powerful was love.

Everyone clapped their hands for us. I turned, still in his arms while smiling widely, to look at my parents. Mom was leaning on dad wiping away her tears and dad had a soft smile on his face and a few tears in his eyes which he was trying to blink back. Jane had a huge smile on her face with a glass of wine in her hand and when my eyes met hers, she winked which made me chuckle. Jake was jumping up and down, chocolate was all around his mouth and he was still eating one. He looked adorable. Grams was whistling. I rolled my eyes at her playfully. My typical overdramatic grandmother. Mr. and Mrs. Angelo, more like my soon-to-be dad and mom were also clapping while smiling brightly at us. Aunt Melissa and her daughters were trying to hide their scowls and clapping as if they were forced to do so but that was the last thing I cared about. Right now I was so happy and lucky. I turned my head to look back at the man I fell in love with and be safe in his arms. He looked at me with those beautiful grey eyes and kissed my forehead gently.

"You are mine" I whispered.

He chuckled lightly and dipped his head towards me "I am yours." He said kissing me passionately.

Little did I know this wasn't going to last long. Everything was going to change soon.

I just woke from another nightmare. My throat was dry and my bottle was empty, so I decided to walk toward the kitchen to grab some water. When I was almost about to reach the kitchen, I stopped in my tracks as I suddenly remembered that I left my robe in my room. I was only in my pink spaghetti strap crop top and white pj's. My arms, legs, and back were exposed. My brain was filled with questions. What if someone sees me? Should I go back to my room to grab my robe, I am almost near the kitchen and it's already 3 in the morning, everyone would be asleep. I sighed, it wouldn't take me long, so I decided to quickly go to the kitchen, grab a water bottle and run back towards my room. I opened the fridge and took a bottle out from it. I was about to close the fridge when suddenly the lights were switched on. I panicked, my eyes widened and I turned swiftly.
The entire color from my face got drained when I saw the person who was standing in front of me.
