I'll See You Around

The truth

Vanessa

*****Flashback******

I'm sitting next to Nathan in his white pick up truck, we are talking and listening to music. The song playing is what hurts the most by Rascle Flats. Nathan is my everything he has helped me throught so much. I haven't said it out loud before but I love him, I love Nathan.

"What are you thinking about baby?" he asks.

"You, me, us, our future." I say dreamaly.

"Oh really?" he asks raising an eye brow a bit.

"Ya I want to have a future with you. You truly are my everything and I lov-"

My eyes go wide as I see a car coming closer and closer to our car and before i can react the semi truck is already crashing into the side of the car. The car flips over several times and pain erupts all over my body as the car slowly begins to crush my now weekened body.I look over to where Nathan is but what i see is a male figure that is unrecognizable his face bleading from the pieces of glass in it. His chest barely rising and falling. "I need to help him" i thought. I look over at him one last time before the world around me is covered in darkness.

*****End of flashback******

My eyes popped open and there is Brandon staring at me his face full of concern.

"Are you okay v."?

"Umm... ya why would you ask that?"

"You were tossing and turning and I woke up to you crying Nathans name."

"Oh Ya I'm fine sorry if i woke you up." I appologize.

"No stop it's fine I will always be willing too wake up for you." he says in a loving tone.

"I'm fine trust me." I say.

"No your not Vanessa."

"I'm fine." I say my patiense wearing thin.

"I know you well enough to know that your not alright you wre crying and I mean Crying. I know you enough to see in your eyes when your scared, sad, depressed, in pain, and even happiness. So please don't lie to me. I'm here for you and I can help."

"Everyone thinks they can help me but they can't all all of them have tried and all of them fail. Then they leave me they always leave me and I can't lose you I jus't I can't, I Need you." I say starting to cry. "Please don't leave me. Please, Please dont leave me."

He places both of his hands on ether side of my face.

"I'll never leave you."

a tear slides down my cheak and he whipes it away with his thumb.

"I'm here for you no matter what... You mean way to much to me."

I take a shakey and deep breath.

"It's just been so hard it's been about a yesr and a half since he was killed and I miss him ,his personality, his laugh, his smile. I would do anything ...give anything to see him one last time."

"This still doesn't explain why you wake up crying." He states concerned.

"I had a new dream, one I've never had I've only had to live through it until now."

"What dream?"

"When Jason told you my story he didn't tell you everything."

"what do you mean?" he asks.

"I told you that Nathan died two years later but I never told you how."

"You don't have -" he starts to say but I cut him off.

"Yes I do I need to."

"Okay but if you can't handle it please stop."

"Okay I will." I say I Take a deep breath and tell of my horrible nightmare.

"One day I was driving with Nathan and we were talking about our future, I had never told him that I loved him but that day I was determined to tell him. He had asked me what i had been thinking about. I told him i was thinking about us and our future. He smiled one of his smiles that I never really got to see. It was beautiful, and contagious, so I smiled back at him. I went to tell him I loved him but the moment never came. No I was to late. I was cut off when i saw a semi truck crash into his side of the car. He.." I start to cry. " He was killed on impact and I was left alone all alone in pain with no one to help me. I couldn't move, speak, and it hurt to breath. I ended up becoming unconscious and when I woke up I was in the hospital. I was in a coma for three months. At first I thought it wasa all a dream until I asked my mom if I could see Nathan and her face fell when I asked and I knew it wasn't a dream. After that for months on end night after night I would cry myself to sleep, I wouldn't talk to anyone, I would barley even leave my room. My grades started slipping from A's to F's. I didn't even expect to get into this college. When I did Jason and my mom convinced the super in tendons to let him get into the school so he could keep an eye on me and they allowed it considering my condition. Then shortly after I met you." I say.

He smiled at me and pulled me close to him, nether of us saying anything, Him pulling me close to him my head resting on his chest listening to the soothing sound of his heartbeat. Soon after I drifted off to sleep.
