Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 -- The Dawning Of Spring

As Maya groggily rolled over for the fifth time to shut up her alarm, she sprang out of bed. She shook her boyfriend to wake him. "Hurry up Dawson, we are going to be late". Dawson's eyes slowly crept open as he grunted "So?". Maya running to the bathroom to do her makeup yelled down the hall... "So we can't be late for our second day of Med school." "Fine then" is all she heard as she decided to quickly jump in the shower.

As they entered the classroom, carefully shutting the large wooden doors behind her hoping they wouldn't make a noise. But they weren't invisible and that was made clear as their Lecturer yelled "You're Late Ms Taylor and Mr Moore". In the silence you heard as quiet as mice " Sorry Sir" as they both ran to their seats next to their best friend Ali. Ali Crawford was a 21 year old from the heart of Scotland,Edinburgh. Maya Taylor and Dawson Moore were also from Edinburgh, although they were both 20.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of the week, they all went out for dinner and a drink to celebrate their first week at Med school. The night was full of laughs, smiles, jokes and surprises.

At the end of the night they walked Ali home but as they entered her house, Ali grabbed Mayas hand and dragged her into the kitchen. "What's wrong Ali?" Maya asked thinking something was wrong. Is Ali pregnant? Has she got a new boyfriend? Is her parents getting divorced? Is she upset, is she ill? "no i'm not pregnant, still no boyfriend, no divorce they are happily married, I'm not upset or ill". Red rushed to Mayas cheeks as she realised she had thought out loud. She went to run to the bathroom to wash her face to avoid "What have you done this time Maya".

"NO" broke the silence. Ali held her hand "not until I say you can go". Maya grew more and more confused... it was was half one in the morning what in the world could be this important at this time. Ali's phone suddenly binged. " Okay you can go, straight to the living room though. No detours.", Ali said almost shouting without realising. "K" Maya quickly answered before running through.

There was bunting, banners, balloons and a massive teddy bear, all proclaiming Dawsons love for Maya. Maya remained quiet as Dawson came in and told her to turn around.

"Maya, the first time I saw you I knew I was going to fall in love with you. And now here we are, we have our own flat, a dog together little Rex, started medical school together, but I want more. I want more adventures, more mornings lying in front of the TV under a blanket, more holidays, more dinners. More time with you. You can turn around."

As he knelt on one knee the question came "Maya Taylor, will you marry me?"
