Always Mine {Book 3}| Completed

Epilogue

One Month Later.

I tried being there for Christopher as much as possible. I was always expecting the summer to be good for him. But it started with him going to therapy after getting his memory back. And since then, he's been restless and sad. Sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night, and he goes to the bedroom that was once his and he just cries in it for hours.

    Since a month has passed, Christopher and me are living in my house. And Victoria couldn't wait to move back in with Logan. Which is exactly what has happened and I've done everything to have the best possible positive energy towards Christopher. He left our old house just a spare house. For a month, he's tried selling the house but he just didn't have it in his power to sell it to strangers. And now he's actually just keeping it fixed. Lindsey has been gone since the day he ended their relationship by leaving out of that church. And maybe it's for the best. The second Christopher walked back into this house, he looked so happy and pleasant that I had no idea that us being back together would be so hard.

   Even when we have breakfast and just talk having coffee, it's like it's so hard to reach him. He tells me he's fine. He spends more time at the cemetery visiting my dad than he does with me. But of course, Christopher deserves to grieve this time he has. And once he ends up doing what he's doing, he returns better. But sometimes he doesn't eat at all. He just cooks to an addiction.

   I've already caught him up to date with everything. I've told him everything that went on. And I don't hate him for it. And he has apologized and said whatever it is to help himself make up for what he did. And I can't even imagine what is happening in his head every second of the day. And I guess I'm perfectly fine with whatever I have to do to help him with whatever is necessary to get him through this. Even if it takes forever.

   I had every intention of trying to help him. And when I had done everything to help him, and I feel as if over time things got better. He started opening up more and he was ready to talk. And when he was, we talked about every good memory. We decided to act like everything with him getting engaged, and him when he lost his memory, we acted like it never happened only because we didn't want to dwell on it. We wanted to move on. And when this happened, he decided to keep the old house and he then he returned me back my locket and he asked me to wear it.

   Christopher and Ty made up. And it was around Lara Jean's birthday party that we decided to attend. And the theme was a decor of lime green. And we went on July 25th to Ty and Lara Jean's house and we had this celebration for her twenty-second birthday. And we had partied, and Christopher was snapping right back to his ways when we were together, actually having the best time of our lives. I thought it was everything but Christopher started being so secretive. Him and Ty looked like they were in such a conversation. And we stayed at the party till night. And as soon as it was over, Christopher pulled me away to get into the car.

Once we were in the car, Christopher looked right at me, and then he leaned into me and he hugged me. And this whole time, I tried my best to do everything to assume the best thing.

"Emma, after everything we have been through, I can't tell you how much I want to do is spend the rest of my life with you. But all I want is to spend time with you." Christopher said, his gray eyes looking stormier than usual.

I thought I might cry. And I had looked right at him, and I saw his eyes just gazing so deeply into mine and all I wanted to do was kiss him. And I was so persistent. But I told myself to let him insinuate it because it's hard for him to just adjust to everything. And just then, I could see he wanted to kiss me too. But he had left it at where it was at.

It's been a month and we haven't slept together again because we both been going through a lot. Every time I tried for us to, Christopher would tell me he wasn't ready to do it again. And I respected that.
