Beyond The Eyes

William & Juliette

"William was my soul, my world. When I was around him, it seemed like it was only us. We had promises, dreams, and memories together. We loved each other more than we have loved anyone else. He was so cold-hearted and stubborn with anyone else, but with me... he was different. William hated when I would cry. No matter why the reason was, he wanted to fix it. He tried his hardest to be the best man to me, treating me with everything I dreamt of. He also had a dark side to him, like we all do. He was very protective and jealous of anyone around me. I loved him with every bone in my aching body and he loved me the same, but he didn't want anyone loving me like he did. I was his. He was mine. And that was that. William was never a school kid. I would help him through everything, giving him the answers. He would thank me and apologize. I didn't mind. He confessed to me one night that ever since he was young, he wanted to go in the army. It broke me down. I was frightened for him, but it was his dream. Sometimes as I lay here, I wish I would have stopped him, but sadly things happen for a reason. We wrote letters to each other every single day when I went for college. Certain girls would of cheated because of the lonely nights, but even if I was with people it still felt so lonely because he wasn't there. To make a long story short, he passed away and for years, I was depressed. I don't think I ever "got better." I never tried to. I was forced to marry some idiot who abused the hell out of me. I only married him because I accidently got pregnant. That's Jacob's grandfather. We ended up divorcing a long time ago and I was alone ever since. Yes, I thought about ending my life many times, but William would be mad at me. He wanted me to achieve my goals, but it was easier to say then done. Just because every goal I had planned involved him. I'm being honest with you two. I don't mind dying because I know he's waiting for me. I can hear him talking to me late at night and I finally feel safe. It's like I can feel his arms wrapping around me. I'm finally home. Can I please talk to Avery alone?" she explained. I felt so sad after the conversation. Jacob got up, going out the door. It was only his grandmother and I. "I need you to take good care of him, Avery. He will be broken after my loss, but I need you to push him back on his feet. Be the person I didn't have for him. He will try and push you away, but don't let him. Don't give up. He made you come all this way to meet me, you must mean a lot to him."
