Remember me - hemmings [3]

Epilogue:

-4 years on-

Luke's POV:

"Come on Gracey!" I shout from downstairs waiting for my little girl to hurry up and grab her flowers from her room.

Today four years ago Emilee died, every year on this day me and Grace would visit her and bring her flowers, we would along during the year anyway but today was special. I told Grace about Emilees Passing when she was seven, she was old enough to understand why she didn't see her mum anymore. She tells me that she sees her in her dreams and that makes me very happy to know that she still thinks of Emilee. Grace is eight now and she's becoming more beautiful by the second every time I look at her I see Emilee inside her and it makes me feel warm inside.

"Dad are we walking?" Grace asks pulling on her All time low sweater. I rub her hair nod and she smiles. Grace held my hand with her left hand and held her pink roses in her right hand. We began walking down the pavement, I carried her on my back when she began to get tired though.

I would still get very emotional almost every night, not having Emilee beside me made it worse, I still hadn't git used to her not being in my arms or being able to text or call her to check up on her or making her breakfast or giving her good morning kisses and cuddles, I just miss her so much.

Emilee had a funeral and was cremated and her ashes were given to me. I still have them, I what to sprinkle them somewhere where we shared our most favourite memory I'm just waiting for the right time. I was meant to give her something on the day she died. I still have it with me in my rucksack so I will give it to her when I get there.

"Daddy do you think mummy will like my flowers?" Grace asked me, I nodded and smiled.

"Of course she will!" I said to her, she giggled and snuggled into my back as j continued to carry her on my back. Growing up for Grace can be hard for her, I remember on her sixty birthday if mummy would be coming back that day and it tore me apart. She missed Emilee a lot and she wouldn't let me forget it.

As we entered the cemetery we began searching for Emilees headstone, it was so,where down the end, I jogged down there with Grace still on my back. Once I get there I put Race down and we begin the search. We search for about ten minutes before is bout over to Grace.

"I found it Grace!" I shout, her head pops up and she runs over to me. I read out the words on the headstone.

"In loving memory of Emilee Grace O'Connor, loving girlfriend, Bestfriend and mother"

It hurt even more each time I read out the same words to Grace whenever we visited. Grace places her roses down on the ground in front of the headstone.

"I miss you mum" She whispers gripping my hand tightly. I lean down and kiss her head.

"Me too Babe me too" I finish my sentence and then place my own flowers down to. I then remember the gift I needed to give her. I kneel down and reach into my bag searching for the little box. When I find it I notice there is a piece of paper in the corner of the bottom of my bag, I take it out and put it in my pocket. I open the box and the diamond ring gleams in the sunlight.

"I was going to give you this, on the day you left. I remember when Calum asked me once when I would pop the question, I thought it was too early to our relationship to even care at the time, but that question never left my mind since that day, and now I want you to finally have it Mrs Hemmings." I say softly placing the box with the ring safely inside, inside the flower holder.

I stand back up and reach into my pocket for my phone to see what time it is but I feel the piece of paper from earlier. I pull it out, it's a little notepad piece.

"Where did this come from?" I ask myself. I unfolded the dirty scratches piece of paper, I looked up in the top right corner to see a very familiar date. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was one of the dates of the road trip. I instantly smile at the memories of Brisbane, Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra. I read the little note.

To Luke, Calum,Ashton,Ellie,Troye and Morgan,

Thankyou for the memories :) x

-Emilee

I felt a hot tear run down my face.

"Is that from mummy?" Grace asks. I nod and she smiles at the thought.

"Come on let's go home" I tell her, she gladly takes my hand.

"We will see mummy again one day won't we?" She asks sweetly.

"Most definitely" I reply.

Emilees POV:

I stood behind my headstone watching as my daughter and the love of my life visited me. It was hard but I watched over them every day. When Luke read out my note that I write from four years ago it made my heart flutter.

I stepped round and stood next to Grace when Luke decided it was time to leave. I kissed her head then I went round and kissed Luke's cheek. Then they began walking away. Michael then joined my side.

"Well look at her, eight years old" He told me, I nodded.

"They miss you a lot" Michael says and I lean my head on his shoulder as we continue to watch them.

"I'll see them again one day" I reply and he nods.

"We better get going ourselves" I say.

"Wait there's something your forgetting Em" Michael says and pulls me back next to him, he points, I follow his direction and smile at the sight. Grace is waving at me. I wave back and smile. She then joins Luke again and they leave an dare out of sight.

"You can never forget a love  like that can you?" Michael said wrapping his ram round my shoulder. I shake my head and laugh.

"I'll always remember them" I reply softly.
