Our Doorway

By the way this is so so sad at the end. Just a warning.

I stood there, stunned, at the perfectly normal sight in front of me. He was standing in the doorway, our door way. He was staring at me and i was staring at him but I wasn't seeing him. I was seeing all of our memories that had happened, in our doorway.

When I was 13 he had come round for a game night with our families. We had been talking and getting on quite nicely. I was talking to my dad about him. 'Olivia, you and Matthew seem to be getting on quite well.' he said. I raised my eyebrows at him, being all mature. 13 going on 30. 'You have a crush on him don't you?' he pried. 'Well maybe just a little crush.' I admitted shyly. Dads eyes grew nervous. He tapped my arm and nodded him head behind me. I turned round and blushed. Matthew was standing in the doorway, smiling at me.

When I was 16 I was sitting, leaning against the doorway. Tears were pouring down my face. 'what's wrong?' a sympathetic voice asked. I turned to look at the person, it was Matthew. He sat next to me as I pulled my knees up to my chest. 'James dumped me.' I whispered bitterly and started to sob again. Matthew put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. 'I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel any better he's an idiot, honestly,if he dumped you then he is a massive, massive idiot.' I just sat there, leaving tear stains on his shirt. He sat there, comforting me and trying to wipe away the tear stains on my heart.

When I was 18 at the Christmas party. I was still enjoying my new found freedom and had gotten a little bit tipsy. I bumped into matthew as he was coming into the room. I glanced up and bit my lip, I know so subtle! I threw my hands around his neck and he put his hands on my waist. Now I look back on it he was more likely holding me up than pulling me closer. I leaned in and kissed him roughly. He kissed me back but pulled away quicker than I wanted him too. I went in to kiss him again but he stopped me. 'you're drunk. I'm not going to take advantage of you.' I pouted. He leaned in closer to me until out faces were inches apart. 'if you feel the same in the morning then call me. I'll be there in a heartbeat.' he whispered seductively. Then he abruptly turned and left.

When I was 23. We has been going out for quite a while, things were pretty serious. He had made dinner, or attempted to and had told me to dress up. I got up to go to the bathroom but as I came through the door way I got the biggest surprise of my life. Flickering candles lit up the room and rose petals were scattered everywhere. Matthew stood in the middle of the room, looking straight at me. He walked over to me and took my hands in his. 'Olivia. I have known you for such a long time and for such a long time I have loved you. I remember finding out you had a crush on my and playing it cool but my heart was leaping. I can remember the first moment when we kissed and our first date. Something about you is different and I have never felt this way. Now it's time for us to make memories together so Olivia.' he knelt down and pulled a little black box out of his jacket. 'will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?' he opened the box to reveal a sparkling ring. I stared into his eyes and was overwhelmed with love, 'yes, yes! A million times yes!.' I yelled and found my arms around his neck. He took the ring out of the box and placed it carefully on my finger. We were both on the verge of tears went we stood up. He took my face in his hands and kissed me passionately.

When I was 24 and our relationship began to fall apart. I was stressed about the wedding and so was he. We had been fighting a lot, things were not going great. I was pretty shaken up, I had just had a fight with one of my best friends and i was quite upset. I walked in the doorway and i could not believe my eyes. I saw Matthew with a young blonde girl ontop of him, naked. I screamed, I actually screamed. He saw me and jumped up, quickly slipping on some clothes. Matthew.' I whispered shakily. 'I can explain.' he said loudly,, desperate to stop me walking out of him. 'can you??' I snarled. 'can you explain why you were having sex with this little slut while your fiancé is busy planning your wedding!' i yelled. 'listen, you were stressed and i didn't feel like i could come to you. Im sorry but this wedding is ruining our relationship.' he admitted. How dare you?'i spat. 'how dare you say that. You are just like your father. You're a lying, disgusting cheat.' his face started to fill with rage. He hands curled into fists and he walked slowly over to me. 'do not compare me to my father.' he roared. He raised his hand high above his head and brought it down on my cheek. After that everything went black.

He was standing in the doorway, our doorway. He was staring at me and I was staring at him. 'I love you.' he mouthed. I ran over to him and stared into his face. That was when he pulled out the gun and shot me in the chest. I fell to the floor gasping for breath. He leaned over to me and whispered in my ear, making sure I could hear his horrible words. 'you broke my heart, now I have broken yours.' he whispered menacingly. Then he got up and left me, dying in our doorway.
Now he was standing planning your wedding!' i ywere here
