Chapter 16

Brian was released from the hospital the next day. He was still weak, but the pneumonia was gone, and he was in good health once again. Alexa made an appointment to talk to the dean of the university to tell him that she was dropping out. She had already told Kylie. Kylie had been disappointed at first, but then got excited when Alexa told her the big news. Alexa promised Kylie she could be one of the bridesmaids, and said they could always be friends even if they no longer shared a dorm room.

Brian and Alexa went out the day after he got out of the hospital to pick out an engagement ring. It was a silver ring, because Alexa had always liked silver better than gold. It had a diamond in the center, cut in the shape of a heart. There was an amethyst on one side of the diamond heart and a sapphire on the other.

They both loved it because it was beautiful, and it matched the promise ring too. But the real reason it matched the promise ring wasn't because of the colors. It was because both rings represented Brian and Alexa's eternal love for one another. A love that could never die, that would always live on inside them, just as an angel lived on in Heaven, watching over them for all eternity.
