Chapter 6: I'll always love you.

"No, you can't." He said.

"I know you would say that." I said.

"Even if you don't want to, I'm still going to stay here with you, you can't change my mind." I said stubbornly.

"You're always so stubborn." He said looking at me with his brown eyes.

"This is the last time, that I'll ever get to see you right?" I asked looking at him with my eyes full of tears.

He looked at me with a sad smile and slowly nodded.

"Why... Why are you leaving me alone, I want to be with you." I said crying while holding his hand.

"I don't want to leave your side... Let me be with you... ok." I said knowing it's futile to ask him.

"Even... If I'll not be with you, even if you can't see me anymore, I'll always be with you, watching you, protecting you, I promise I'll never let anything happen to you." He said gently stroking my head.

"Then why did you come back when you're leaving again, why are you hurting me again... This time I don't have enough strength to bear it." I said crying my eyes out.

"I wanted to see you for one last time because I wasn't able to say goodbye to you, I thought you would be angry at me and will hate me if I left without a word." He said caressing my hand.

"Take me with you, if you truly care for me." I asked him.

"I can't."

"WHY." I screamed in frustration.

"Because I don't want to separate you from the people you love."

"I want to be with you, you're the person I love more than anything else in the world."

"Someone needs your help, and you're not alone." He said.

"Nobody needs me, no one cares if I die," I said to him.

"No, Andrew needs you, your child needs you."

My child, how can I forget about it.

"If you look closely, there are so many people who love you and need you."

"You have so many things to do." He said.

"Im sure we'll meet again." He said.

"When?" I asked him.

"After a very very long time, till then I'll wait for you and watch after you."

"Promise." I said.

"Promise." He said taking my hand for a pinky promise.

"Josh..."

"Yes."

"Have I ever told you that you're the best brother in the whole world?" I said with a sad smile.

"And you are the best sister, I've always loved you more than anything and will always do." He said.

"I regret..." He said and paused.

"What," I asked him.

"I regret not spending more time with you, I used to be so busy." He said with a hint of guilt.

"Are you happy?" I said looking at him.

"Im happy, I always wanted to live a peaceful and free life." He said looking fondly at me.
