Shanea and Zach had been dating four years, the most memorable for the both of them, was when Shanea first heard Zach sing.

Shanea sat awkwardly in a coffee shop, sipping her frappachino, this was Shanea and Zach's favourite place to go after work and uni. They'd meet up and always order the same thing. Sit on the same squishy sofa's in the window and Shanea would always lay her head in Zachs lap. It was there ideal place. They could talk and share their days without ever being judged or criticised, which was and always had been a big problem for Shanea. But it all changed for the better on the day when it was only Shanea sitting on that sofa, without Zach to lean against comfortingly. For Zach, who did small gigs in pubs and clubs, was sitting on a tall stool in front of a mic, in the Greenwhich park coffee plaza. And as Zachs heart beat ever faster with nerves, Shanea couldn't help but wonder why he didn't take his talent one step further, however she didn't have much time to think as Zach was soon singing his heart out, and as he sung she knew she felt like the only one in that cafe. Her world consisted of one thing and one thing only and that was Zach she smiled up at him and he winked with a twinkle in his eye, that she always noticed shone brighter when he was around her; because she was his and he was hers. As soon as the last song started to play, that Zach had written himself, Shanea found tears rolling down her cheeks, the song '3O seconds to change a life.' Was in fact all about her, the twists and turns of their relationship and how on that same day four years ago, Zach had picked up his courage and kissed her. She was no longer bullied after that, no longer humiliated. She had someone by her side who was there for her, through thick and thin.

Zach took a small bow and spoke into the mic,
"For my beautiful girlfriend, Shanea Highfeild, who has been through so much yet she still stayed strong and I know I've found the one," She blushed and stood up, her soft lace skirt floating just above the floor line, aswell as her paisley tank, she smiled at him and he looked at her with the feeling of perfect happiness flowing through the cafe. Shanea ran up to him and kissed him softly to the sound of applause from the small audience that had formed to hear Zach sing. He broke away and held her waist in his strong arms, "What was that for?"He whispered softly.
"I love you. My one." She replied smiling. He picked her up and held her close, leaving the coffee shop and walking towards his car.
"You know you should go and do X-Factor. The auditions are in two weeks, you'd do amazing and your the perfect candidate. I mean look at you. Your hot, you can sing I mean perfect or what?" She said, jumping into the car, "You think so?" he blushed and started the car and turned off at the junction.
"I know so." She kissed his cheek and settled down in the seat.
