Hazel's pov.
2 years later.

" you tell me right now, what the hell am I doing on my day off, out of my bed when it's pouring out there...." Edward said walking into the cafe, pointing toward the windows, in his grey shorts and white sweatshirt.

" hmm maybe because I love you too much and missed you! " I said putting on an extra sweet smile and batting my eyelashes.

He looked at me with an annoyed expression, slowly chewing on the chocolate chip cookie.

" I don't care..." he said sitting opposite me, pulling my plate of cookies and hot chocolate.

"Eddie......you know I love you..." I tried flattering him.

He looked me dead in the eye " spit it out" he said not buying my bullshit.

" fine..." I said sighing." today...".before I could finish my sentence he started.

" hazy no....no...i am not..." he said sipping over the hot chocolate.

" Please...please...one last time " I begged him, and he looked anywhere but me.

" no...you said that yesterday and even the day before..." he said sighing.

" fine..." I said standing up " I'll go alone...I knew you never cared for me" I said walking dramatically, the waitress ran towards me along with the bill I looked towards Edward who was sitting there casually making no effort to come after me " for what he did to me he deserves to pay it...and all the bills of my life " I said walking out sassily.

Regretting my decision immediately as the cool wind gushed all over me, I hugged myself to keep myself warm.

" I hate that dumbass..." I groaned.

" huh...but I love you so get in the fucking car before you freeze to death," Edward said opening the door for me, but that is what I thought. He sat in the passenger's seat and placed his legs in the driver's seat hoisting himself up with one hand while the other held the steering wheel he jumped into the driver's seat, while I watched him in astonishment.

" what? Did you expect me to go all the way around and get drenched in the rain... Pfft come on get in now..." he instructed starting the engine.

" do you think he 'll be there ?" I questioned, rubbing my hands together warming them up.

" no... it's pouring rain only someone insane will be out " he said scrutinizing his gaze over me.

" umm....look..look there's water everywhere," I said trying to change the topic.

After a couple of minutes, we parked the car once we reached the destination the usual spot we used the past couple of days.

I kneeled over the seat giving me enough height to look around and beyond the fence.

" did you find him?" I questioned looking at Eddie who was looking around as eagerly as I am.

" no" he replied leaning back.

" come on help me search for him " I insisted.

" I told you I don't think he'll be here today..." he said sighing.

" shhh....shhh..he's here look, " I said pointing towards the back of the guy, he had a well-built body covered in a black suit...he walked towards the graves just like he did the past couple of days he got on his knees, offering his prayers.

Eddie looked at me shocked " hazel I...i...uhh..think he's...umm a ghost " he stuttered out, holding my arm.

" no, it cannot be," I said.
