Death brings love
I've had many disasters in my life. I'm Destiney Rodrigo, a 17-year-old from LA. Except I'm not just any teenager. I'm poor. My mom has been sick ever since I was 5 years old and my dad died when I was 11. My mom is too sick to work, so we have no money. I grew up having to steal stuff in order for me and my mom to live. I really didn't enjoy having to do it but what other choice did I have?
We had enough money left to pay rent for a few years after my dad died but then we ran out, and I didn't know what I was going to do. How was I supposed to pay the bills? I kept stealing for a long time until the unexpected happened. I went to get groceries one morning like always. I did everything the same except when I was walking out the door a boy the same age as me came running after me and yelling stop! So I stopped and asked him why he was yelling at me. He came up and told me that he knew I stole all the groceries I had in my cart.
So I decided to tell him the whole story. I know what your thinking “how stupid are you?” Yeah I know it was pretty stupid but he told me that he wasn't going to report mer as long as I got a job at the same grocery store. But I saw one issue in me getting a job at the grocery store, how am I going to steal my groceries? But I decided to take that deal because it was better than going to jail if he reported me and called the cops.
I've been working at the grocery store with Nick bossing me around like crazy for a few weeks now. But the other when I was working I noticed Nick staring at me and it wasn't the starting of like what is she doing it was more like damn she's hot kinda look. I feel like I should confront him about it but I kinda have a crush on him. I decided I'm going to go talk to him after my shift.
I went up to Nick after my shift and asked him if he has a crush on me. The first thing he said was why would you even ask that. So then I explained to him that I saw him staring at me the other day. So then he said that he has started to get feelings for me. So then I did the dumbest thing ever and kissed him. No, we weren't in the middle of the store, we were in the staff room. But then all of a sudden he was kissing me back and we were kissing for what felt like seconds but it was more like 2 minutes but then my phone started to ring, it was my mom. She fell down and can't get up and is feeling really lightheaded but I'm like ok mom I'll be home soon but I was like a twenty-minute walk home. Nick could see me panicking and asked if everything was ok and obviously I wasn't so I told him my mom fell and is light-headed. He offered to give me a ride home, so I took him up on that offer.
He took me home and I ran and started to get out of the car as fast as I could but as I was getting out he asked me if I needed help. I told him that I should be fine but he could come in and make sure if he wanted. So he came inside with me and my mom passed out in the middle of the floor. I was so worried this has never happened before. We need to call 911, I told Nick but then he said that he could drive us to the hospital. I said was reluctant at first but then siad yes just because I knew we couldn't afford the ambulance.
We got to the hospital and I was sitting in the waiting room so worried. Nick came and sat by me and grabbed my hand and held it, he wat trying to comfort me. We were waiting for what seemed like forever but eventually, I fell asleep and apparently Nick sat there waiting for the doctor because he woke me up as soon as the doctor came. Turns out my mom's lung cancer has progressed from stage 3 to stage 4. But they took her into surgery because her lungs shut down but mom didn't make it. She died. I started crying more than I've ever cried before, I literally just fell to the floor and cried. Nick picked me up but I hardly noticed he carried me to his car and took me home or so I thought. Turns out he took me to his house because he didn't want to leave me alone after all this. And apparently, somewhere between the hospital and his house, I fell asleep.
I wanted to go home but I couldn't, I had Nick drive me to my house but I walked up to the door but I couldn't bring myself to open it and go inside. So I went back to Nicks and tried to figure out where to go but Nick told me that he didn't care if I stayed at his place for as long as I needed to, so I stayed for a while because he lived along and I had no where else to go.
It's been a month since my mom died. I managed to go inside the house and get all the stuff out of it but I had to sell it because I couldn't stand to be there without my mom. I've been living with Nick for the last month. We've been kissing a lot but we haven't made things official and today I had to go back to work but Nick wasn't working so it was really boring. But as soon as I got done I went back to Nicks. I walked in and there Nick was sitting there with a romantic dinner made. He had this all planned just to ask me to be his girlfriend.
Nick and I have been dating for 3 months. We go on dates way too much. I'm still living with him and he's so cheesy. The other day he asked me if I wanted to move in with him even though I live with him and my response was yes. Even though we live together, I'm starting to sleep in his bedroom more.
Its been a couple of years, and we get along so well we hardly have ever had any fights. I thinkw e both are so happy and so in love. I want to propose but like also thats the man job. Ive decided to wait one more month and if he doesnt propose, I will. Its been two weeks and he still hasnt proposed and I dont want to wai two more weeks im gong to buy a ring today and going to propose tonight on our date. I proposed and he said he picked a ring out a few weeks ago but they ha to order it in so hes been waiting and now I feel like I ruined it but were engaged. Im so happy.
Please feel free to comment any feedback, I really would appreciate it. Im looking for a different way to end this so if you have any ideas let me know! Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed.

11/25/2022It was a great but sad story. losing a parent is hard, but lossing both is devestating! How special Nick is! your ending was a but rushed. I would have like to seen it progress slowly with more detail. I would love a sequel to find out what happens later. When you post yourvstories, proofrwad before publishing so you can correct your typos. It was a nicely written story!
