“You’re gonna be okay.” He told her.
She didn’t turn to look at him so he cracked a joke.
She giggled when she finally turned her head and saw the hilarious look on his face.
She stopped and turned back to her locker when she saw Ricky and his friends walked by.
“Go away Dylan.” She whispered and ran off to the bathroom.
Two days later
Ricky was sitting in his room on his bed in North Carolina.
He stared at the wall and thought of his old times with Alice.
He missed her.
Should he call her?
Should he ask his parents to return home?
He wasn’t sure and he went back to sleep.
Alice was sitting in her room on her bed back in Vermont.
She stared at the wall and thought of her old times with Ricky.
She missed him.
Should she call him?
Should she ask her parents to move?
She wasn’t sure and she went back to sleep.
In the morning Ricky got up and went to his phone and dialled Alice’s number.
Alice noticed her phone ringing at home.
She looked at the number.
It was unfamiliar.
She did not know that Ricky had a new number.
She answered it.
“Alice! I am so sorry. I am going to get my parents to let me come home. I could never let you go. I love you.”
“I love you too. I can’t wait to see you.” She said.
They talked and chatted for a while and for the first time in a few days, Alice felt good.
Three days later
The car was flipping over.
Ricky didn’t know what was happening.
His face smashed into the window.
‘This is it. I’m going to die.’ He thought.
The car finally stopped and he heard a noise.
He thought it was imagining things
but he was soon being lifted out of the car.
He woke up in the hospital later in the day.
Alice was crying at his side.
Her eyes were red.
“Alice??” Ricky whispered.
“Oh Ricky!” She kissed him and he kissed her back.
“I love you.”
“I love you too Alice.” He whispered with his last breath
and then his electrocardiograph gave off a sickening continuous beep.
Alice cried her eyes out as the doctors came rushing in and tried to revive him.
Ricky died that day.
Alice cried at his funeral and never returned home.
Her body was found washed up on the side of the beach two years later.
Apparently, she had committed suicide to be with the one she loves.
