Charlie tried and tried to find Ronny, but he never did, now he was probably committing another murder. The police found the letters from Zach, (Ronny) Chelsea had hidden, but nothing seemed to help find him. Charlie was heartbroken, he could no longer go to the park, or the beach, it reminded him of all the moments he had with his truelove. He returned the engagement ring he had bought; he was going to propose the night Chelsea was caught cheating, also the night she died. He had a whole special evening planned where they went Para-shooting and the helicopter wrote will you marry me in the sky, he got his money back for that to. The only thing he kept was her little dog Addie, he couldn’t let her go to. He toke the money he received back to prepare a funeral for Chelsea, Most of her relatives either died, or she didn’t talk to them anymore so it was just Paige and Charlie at the funeral. Once it was finished and everyone had said their goodbyes Chelsea was lowered into the ground. Charlie and Paige had found themselves crying for the millionth time that day. Paige wore a ruffled black dress and top hat with lace that lay across her face. She had black leggings and high heeled boots. Charlie was in an all-black tux. “I’m so sorry Charlie, she loved you so much.” Paige said wrapping him in a hug. “No she didn’t, she cheated on me with her ex-fiancé.” “She didn’t know it was him at first, she was just trying to pull a harmless prank on this guy that sent her a letter by accident, it just ended up that the letter wasn’t sent by accident and it wasn’t any love-struck guy, it was Ronny.” Another wet tear fell down Charlie’s cheek. “I feel like it’s my entire fault, if I would have just listened that night, and not driven off she would be alive and not…dead.” Charlie confessed. “Charlie it’s not your fault she left me a message to and I just blew it off, it’s not anyone’s fault but her own, she shouldn’t have been screwing around with Ronny, and now she paid her consequence.” Paige put her hand on Charlie’s back.  “What did I do wrong?” He asked Paige. “Nothing, you were the best boyfriend any girl could ever have, Chelsea just didn’t think and look how it ended up.” Paige grabbed Charlie’s hand and squeezed it. “Everything is going to be ok, alright? But we have to leave Chelsea behind now, she’s dead, and she’s not coming back. Now we just have to get over our grief and live on with our own lives ok?” Charlie nodded as he lay one last white rose on her grave, it read. Here lays Chelsea Helms, a victim of murder, a woman of power and love, and an unforgettable soul. 1990-2013. Together the two friends walked away in the rain holding hands, they both looked back at Chelsea’s grave and whispered… I’ll never forget you… with that they walked away and never returned.
