The Black Rose

Chapter five

About two months after being home things started to die down a bit which was nice. Alexa came over a couple times to talk and we talked a lot and I ended up telling her what happened or what didn't? "Wait ..so while you were in your coma thing you were living your life?" She asked "mhm" I said "And you and Liz started dating?" She asked "yeah" I said "wow..I don't know what to say that's weird.." She said and I nodded in agreement. We sat in silence for a while after. It was weirdly nice to be honest.

After that we decided not to tell anyone one and go on with our lives but that didn't last long as I ended up telling Liz. After I told Liz we started dating and now are married 10 years later as happy as we could be and I had my top surgery 3 years after high school ended. Liz helped me alot with healing along with mom while dad got remarried and didn't want me to get the surgery. So mom had gotten full custody and I don't talk to dad much anymore. "Is that true though?" Ray asked "yeah like a dream" I said "wow That's so cool daddy" Makenna asked. "Yeah it really is" I said "So is that why you have a black rose hanging on your wall?" Ray asked "yeah it's the one from the hostiple bud" I said and he smiled "that's so cool!" makenna said smiling "yeah it really is.." I said.

"So that's the story of the Black Rose kids" I said as I stood up "now go to sleep okay?" I said and they nodded and layed down and me and Liz kissed their heads and walked out. "It's still hard to believe hun" Liz said as we walked to our bed "yeah but I love the story of us, And I will never forget that" I said as she laid down "I know now don't take too long getting to bed" She said yawning and falling asleep. I've had A hard time sleeping sense that dream. But me and Liz have made it work.

I looked at the wall and saw the rose. Wow I can't believe it's been so long..I still miss her and always will but I can tell she is watching me as I live on like that dream..today was her death date so sense I can't sleep I'll take her some flowers. I left the house and stopped by the walmart and picked up pink roses sense they were her favorites..and I drove up to her grave and sat next to it.
