epilogue

Arabellas POV

I never had the chance to say goodbye.
"Time of death, 1:23 a.m." One nurse said as the doctor placed his hand on my shoulder. "I am so sorry for your loss."

I didn't flinch, I didn't move one bit. I stood there, frozen. I saw him, lifeless and still.

His chest wasn't rising or falling, the heart monitor was silent. I couldn't cry. But, from that moment on, I realized I would never see his blue eyes meet mine again, I would never hear him giggle, laugh. I would never see him smile, I would never have his arms around me, I would never have his lips pressed against mine anymore, because he was gone. Forever.

I slowly walked up to the bed, and slowly brushed his cheek with my hand.
"Corey.." I said, trying to hold back my tears, "Baby, I know you can hear me. I know you are here, listening to me, I need you to know, That I will love you forever. I hope you will wait for me, up there, because I will never ever stop loving you. I knew something like this would have happened eventually, but not like this. I would walk to the ends of the earth to hear you say my name one more time, to hear your voice again, and to feel you. Thanks for bumping into me that day in the bookstore, I'll never forget it."
I leaned over and pressed my lips against his, running my fingers through his hair one last time, and squeezed his hand.

With that, I walked out of the hospital, into the cold night air, hearing the metro go by, the busy cars, and seeing the city lights that illuminated everything.

I slept in his t- shirt that night, the smell of his sweet cologne still lingered on the fabric. Tears rimmed my eyes, and I silently sobbed myself to sleep.
"I wish more than anything, that his arms were around me right now." I thought to myself. I looked at the polaroid we took together, that night at the fair and flipped it over to see his handwriting , it read "Love u long time Bells!"

I spent the rest of my summer days in that same old bookstore, where we met. I picked out the same book that I was reading when he bumped into me, I sat at that same little coffee table everyday, with the same type of tea : chamomile. I will forever long for the moment, when I see him again. When he bumps into me and and apologizes for making me smash the records I would buy. I will long for the moment when he offers to buy me a cup of tea, when he asks me out to dinner or when he kisses me.

I will forever long for the moment when I fall in love with Corey Haim, all over again.

Author's Note:
This story has come to an end. I know it is a sad ending, but not every story has a happy ever after. I am really happy with the turnout, reads, and amount of votes I have recieved.

I will also take requests here for 80's actors for my next fanfiction.

Thank you all so much,
Xoxo,
