A Day at the Park

It was a summer day with all the birds singing and the bright yellow light shining in the room. Jessica started her day with her mom yelling at her to get up at 8 o’clock in the morning. She laid there for a while and texted her lover. They are supposed to go for a walk in the park later on and sit on the chair where they always sat. Usually, Jessica is happy to see him but she finally has to tell him something that he needs to know. He thinks everything is good in their relationship, little does he know; Jessica has a deep dark secret. No one knows about this secret besides her and another person, this could tear them apart forever.
As she gets ready, someone calls her from an unknown number, it’s Ryan.  He desperately needs to talk to her. He tells her to meet him in their secret spot. Jessica thinks this is urgent, so she blows off Jake and heads off to the spot. As she continues to walk, she feels guilty for lying to Jake and the only thing on her mind is her secret. She turns the corner and sees Ryan sitting there on the swings. She gets butterflies in her stomach every time she sees his bright green eyes and his dark brown hair. She hesitantly walks over and sees Ryan with a tiny black box. Now, the only thing on her mind is what’s in the box. Ryan continues to tell her how much she means to him and gives her a red rose. Since they have been dating over a year, he thinks their relationship should move forward. Jessica doesn’t know what to do, since she’s supposedly with Jake. Jessica is all confused with this situation. All of a sudden Ryan gets on one knee and asks Jessica to spend the rest of her life with him. Without hesitation she says yes, but standing behind her is Jake. Jake has the resentment look on his face. Apparently, Jake was going to ask Jessica to be his wife and already bought the diamond ring. As Ryan heard all of this, he ran off to his house with distress. Awkwardly, Jessica just stood there while Jake stared at her with envious eyes.
The wind starts to blow furiously and clouds begin to turn grey. Unexpectedly, the clouds produce rain and the lightning scared Jessica and lead them to talk in Jake’s car.  As they continued to talk, Jessica realized she made a big mistake. Jake was furious with her and started yelling and kicked Jessica out of the car. He drove off and left Jessica standing in the middle of the rain. She called her mother to pick her up from the park and while she was waiting, Ryan calls her cell phone. Apparently, Jake drove to Ryan’s house and started to fight him. Jake was angry that Ryan had been with Jessica all this time.  Ryan tells her that he didn’t mean things to go that far. Jessica is worried about what had happened. He begins to say that he didn’t want to hurt Jake but he was just getting in the middle of things. Jessica starts to cry and demands him to tell her. Jake arrives at the hospital with a broken arm, black eye and a bloody lip. Jessica is all upset and tells her mother to drive her to the hospital.     
When Jessica arrives to the hospital, she realizes that she loves Jake more than she loves Ryan. Jessica finally has the guts to break it off with Ryan and tells him that she wants to stay with Jake. Ryan flips out and starts banging on the walls. Jessica can stand this anymore and throws the ring on the floor. She returns to the seat next Jake in the hospital as he consults to the doctor. When Jake finds out what Jessica did, he fills the room with excitement.
Few weeks went by, Jessica meets Jake at the park and sees that there is rose pedals spread out on the ground spelling out, “Will you marry me?” Jessica enthusiastically says yes and Jake puts the diamond ring on her finger. As they kiss, there are people in the background playing their song.
