When the Laughing Stops

Andrew. It was seven o'clock. Kelsey was usually home by now. He Worked a little while longer, but it was no use. He couldn't concentrate. Normally If kelsey came home a little late, it didn't bother him, but because of what had recently happened, he was beginning to get a little worried. Eight o'clock. This was ridiculous. Where the hell was Kelsey?

Kelsey. The tears were falling steadily by now and had blurred her vision. Kelsey was not paying attention about where she was walking, Just caught up in her own misery. "Happy Thanksgiving," She said to nobody in particular, laughing half-heartedly. Kelsey walked aimlessly down the street, her thoughts a million miles away. Absentmindedly, she stepped off the curb and into the street. First she heard the screech of tires, followed by a scream. Then she felt pain, and in an instant, everything went black.

Andrew and Kelsey were not only lovers, they were best friends. They had their share of ups and downs, but they had managed to keep it together for eight years. One day things changed. The happiness was gone. Laughter was nowhere to be found. They were no longer living, loving, laughing, simply enjoying each other, but merely existing together. Would things ever be the way they once were? Will they laugh again?
