I looked at the clock and it said 7:00 pm on the dot. I'm still wondering about my dream as I wash up and changed into a new shirt.
"It felt so real"

- In the car
We're going up the mountains and the four lane road turned into a two lane road as we got higher. Me and Jenn are talking about going to a concert next week. Suddenly, our conversation turned into a strange eerie silence. Then up the road, I see a sign that says
"SLOW DOWN - 10FT DROP"
I gasped and yelled at Jenn, "STOP!!!"
She slams the brakes and we stopped in the middle of the road. Luckily there wasn't any traffic and so we're alone.

I stepped out of the car and looked at the road bend and I saw skid marks on the ground leading to the edge of the hill. There's a big gap in the guard rail as if a car had ran straight into it. I looked down at the edge of the hill to see Mark's car lying at the foot of it, crushed under a tree. I dropped to my knees and went into a daze. Jenn was surprised to see how I found the car.

After shaking myself out from the daze, I ran to the wreck to see Mark lying there with his head down. I checked his pulse only to find out that he's gone. I cried bitterly and while crying, I saw his right hand touching the glove compartment of the dashboard. I walked around to the other side of the car and opened it. I found a box with a lock on it. It was a key lock but there was no key to be found. I looked aroung the wreckage and found a paper sticking out from under the seat. I pulled it and to my surprise, it was the first letter that I wrote to him. I kicked the seat and it broke off and under it was all of the letters that I had wrote to him. Every single one was there. Under all the papers was a key. I looked at it and then looked at the box. I stuck the key in and twisted it. "CLICK!" The box pops open and I dropped to my knees crying again when I saw the necklace that I was eyeing four months ago in the catalog. I looked at it and put it on. But that wasn't all... Under the necklace was a tiny pillow and under that pillow was a diamond ring and a letter.

Dear Angelica,
I've been waiting for a long time for this moment and I think it's the perfect time. We've been together for 8 months and that was enough time for me to find out that you are the right one for me. The whole time I've been working on my car, I've also been planning on how I to tell you this. All i can say now is that I really love you. I want you to be mine and only mine. I will always feel this way no matter what happens to me or you. So in conclusion... Will you accept this ring for me and wear it till the day you die? As long as you have it on, I will always be with you.
Always Love;
Forever,
Mark

P.S. - I will still love you and I'll make up foor all my mistakes even when I die.

I lost my heart and all senses the moment I finished reading the last words. My tears smeared the writing on the letter and the words slowly disappear from the moisture. I noticed that I am covering a part of the letter with my finger. I moved my finger away slowly to read the piece of writing. I read it closely and it says... "November 4th - 5:00pm" I stopped and started thinking… I realized that 5:00pm was when I fell asleep and dreamt about the car crash...

I cried that whole night regretting every single word that I said to him. Till today, I am still wearing the same ring he left for me. I'm also working on his car that he died in. I'm planning to fix it up to be my own. I know that he is still in that car. So I've decided to keep the car with me till I die. As long as I have the car, I'll always have him.
