The Love That Never Dies - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Part 17

EMMY'S POV

The man who's name I never will know kept appearing in my head only making me run faster and faster. I began to feel that if I kept running, all the bad memories would fade and I could start my life with no one knowing me or where I came from which made me go but being lonely is also a fear I've always had. As well as I could I hid behind a few trees and tried to sort my crowded mind. I then remembered the one I love the most, the one I eventually stopped thinking about because it hurt me too much, Cody. I could see his beautiful face appear in my mind then and I didn't want to run anymore, I wanted to stay at that tree and talk to him for the rest of the day and watch his lips connect as he speaks of the things he can't seem to get off his mind, I wanted to watch his confused tongue try to keep up with his lips and teeth as he spoke fast, but I can't. I can't because Cody isn't real and there are bad, bad people after me because I shouldn't be alive, I don't really understand why but I did something and they don't want me alive anymore and I, I- I need to tell Cody goodbye. I found a stick lying beside the kind tree guarding me from the world and I wrote many words in the dirt, the many words that need to be said : "My dearest Cody,

I've been on a trip for quite awhile and I don't think I'll be back. As much as I love your smile, I'm afraid I'll have to miss it. I hope one day you come across this letter, maybe you will be on a walk with your wife and kids or maybe you will find this when you are looking for me. The thing is you won't find me, I've realized that you with me is something so beautiful but something that isn't supposed to happen. And I hope one day our paths might cross and we can see each other smile one last time. Please tell my mother I miss her and tell her that at night she shouldn't cry because I'm okay. And lastly, I hope you find the greatest love in your life and I hope she reminds you of how much she loves you every second, and I hope one day you might tell children about me and the love that never dies. I'm sorry I never said this before but I love you. Very much.

I'll miss you forever,

Emmy

With my tear filled eyes I set the stick down and ran, this time for forever.
