A New World

A Gift

Miranda's pov

I stand by the four freshly dug graves, my fists clenched tightly, the wind blowing my hair around. Beth startles me when she taps my shoulder. "you okay?" she asks. "I'm not but he is. He's finally with his family." I say, trying hard not to cry but of course I do. I fall to my knees and cry my eyes out. Beth tries to pull me away but I shove her off. "get off me!" I cry, then when she doesn't listen, I scream it at the top of my lungs. She gets the hint and leaves me be. I lay on the ground by his grave,whisper singing the lyrics to don't change gone, a song he sang to me.

Beth's pov

She's so upset. I wish I could help her but when I try she just yells at me. Keely cries on the couch. I hug her tightly.

Miranda's pov

"would you have stayed if you could or would you leave the first chance you got? Did you really ever love me? Answer me, dammit!" I yell through the tears.

Jason's pov

(in the afterlife)

I finally have my girls back but something tugs at me I don't know what. I try to ignore it but it just keeps calling out to me. I don't even know where I am right now. I just started walking and haven't stopped. I guess I'm trying to find what it is then I realize I'm back on my farm. I hear someone crying. I run in the direction of the noise and now I know what that pull was. It was her. I can't believe I forgot. I don't know how I forgot. She screams. I sit beside her but I can't do anything, I'm dead. I try to put my hands on her shoulders.
Miranda's pov

I feel hands on my shoulders. I turn around angrily thinking it's Beth but nobody's there. I fall back in shock. I know I felt something. I look around, wishing I could catch just one glimpse of him.

Jason's pov

"J-Jason is that you?" she whimpers. "yeah girl I'm right here." I reply. Although I know she didn't hear that. God please let her be able to see me even if it's just for a few minutes. Her eyes fill with tears as she stares right at me and I know my prayer was answered. "hey darlin'." I say, hugging her. "Jason, how is this possible?" she whimpers. I shrug. "let's just enjoy it while we can." I say. "if you're here, what about the girls and Jessica?" she asks. I love how she cares about them. "they're fine, I promise. I just had to see you one last time." I say. She breaks down in tears again.
"baby, it'll be okay." I assure her. "I have one question." she whispers, staring at the ground. "fire away." I say, sitting beside her. "if you could stay, would you?" she asks. I'm a little caught off guard but I give her the most truthful answer I can think of. "baby, I love you and keely more than life itself but my life is over-" "because of a damn snake." I smile. "yes because of a damn snake. There are people waiting for me. I love you. Don't forget that." I say. She smiles. "I love you too." she says. "find a new dad for keely, Lord knows she'll need one to take her hunting and fishing and to football games if we ever get those reestablished." I joke, "maybe you should see if Glenn is available. I mean Maggie's been gone an awful long time up north." her jaw drops, making me laugh. "I hope your kidding." she chokes out. "eh, a little half and half. I think you two would make a cute couple." I say, making my hands be scales. Now she's the one to laugh. "no offense to Glenn, love that boy to death but I just don't see that happening." she gripes. I see kendyl run to me. "hey baby girl, I gotta go now." I say, standing up. She does too and hugs me tightly. "I'll miss you so much." she cries. I smile. "I will too but seriously give some thought to that Glenn thing, ya never know what could happen." I say quickly as kendyl pulls on my arm. "I'm comin'." I say. "are you serious or kidding, please be kidding!" she gasps. I shrug with a smile "oh no don't you leave me with that unanswered question!" she cries, running towards me. I laugh. "baby, I got to go but think about it." I say, kissing her.
Miranda's pov

He kisses me then is gone. It did make me feel ten times better seeing him and seeing that he's okay. Then I think about what he said. I don't know if he was trying to mess with me or was serious about the Glenn thing but that's a little weird to think about. He's right though, I need to find a father figure for keely. But who? If it's not Glenn. Hell he doesn't even know Jason is dead! I better tell him soon but right now, I'm just not up for it. I go inside for the first time in a while and Beth drops the mixing bowl in surprise. She runs over and hugs me. "how ya holdin' up?" she asks. "a lot better." I say with a smile. I'm not going to tell her or anyone for that matter that I saw Jason's ghost. I might tell keely when she's older but not now, definitely not now.

OK folks, please tell me if ya like doing the Jason as a ghost thing. I might start doing updates of him in the afterlife with Jessica. Idk. Comment and vote plz.
