The first two hours from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM were a blur, i hardly paid attention to anything i did. We arrived at school at 8:05 on the morning of October 23rd. Matt followed me into the band room, wanting to observe me pop the question. I didn’t mind, as long as he said nothing to Emily…
I got to the kennel room and all the normal people were there: Chris, Lacy, Jessica, Courtney, Peter, Nick, Kregg, but Emily was missing.
Where is she?!
I ran up to Nick frantically, “Where’s Emily?”
He shrugged, “She said she’d be back in a couple of minutes. jeez you sound paranoid, whats your problem?”
Just then she walked in. She was just as beautiful as i remembered, but… her mouth was taped shut… with duck tape.
She gave me a little slip of paper that read:
Why is my mouth taped? Well, today is abortion awareness day, and those of us who aren’t pro-choice aren’t speaking for the sake of those unborn.
Great…
I looked at her and beckoned her to follow me.
This is it… no turning back now…
