10 YEARS LATER
Jack's POV
I never remarried. My life became Michael and Alexa's. This day, 10 years ago, they took everything I had. Amanda.
Amanda's mother has since died. Breast Cancer is a bitch, isn't it? She never really got over Amanda's death. Amanda's mom never talked about the discovery of her daughters uncle-dad. All she really said was that her brother was sick and no one helped him. Her brother was 4 years older than her. He was killed by Alexa's mom 12 years ago. Amanda never knew.
As I drove to the cemetery I couldn't help but think about Amanda. Her long, beautiful blonde hair and her ocean blue eyes. I saw her everyday in my dreams.
Amanda running. Me chasing her. Her kiss. The smell of strawberries as she walked passed you.
These monsters took her from me.
I remember her laying there. In this white dress I bought her. The necklace. The ring. Now she'll never take them off. This is my last memory of her. Something I'll never un-see.
As I arrived at her burial site, I sat and dreamed.
"I love you Amanda Massey-Porter"
I heard a whisper.
"I love you Jack Porter"
Maybe I really was dreaming. But I saw her sitting on her stone with The biggest smile on her face I've ever seen. She wasn't sick, wasn't bruised. She was as perfect as she always was.
I leaned in to kiss the wind. It kissed me back. I dropped the long stemmed dozen purple roses with some lilies and left.
I got to feel the kiss of my wife again.
It was almost 6. I had somewhere to be.
As I walked down this long gray hallway just thinking of how my life could be ruined by these two people and why couldn't I find out sooner. But now I'll never know.
I sat down in this chair. Destiny and Jason met me there. Both married, both had 2 kids each. We laughed and we cried. Talked about Selena and her short life, my wifes life. They seemed to try to make life as normal as possible.
I couldn't move on.
This officer came in, escorting us inside. Destiny lead the way.
There they were. Michael and Alexa.
"5 minutes" the officer said.
"Jacky, you are awfully quiet, did I catch your tongue again?" Michael said with a crocked smile.
I said nothing.
"Aw, wanna know how I did it?"
"michael shut up! We made a deal!" Alexa scolded her brother. He just smiled.
"Our dad was a rapist. He raped my aunt, then came Amanda. My mother wasn't stupid. My dad was a low life. But guess what? My mom is my aunt. We're resulted from incest"
"YOU DIDNT HAVE TO KILL HER! SHE DID NOTHING WRONG!" I couldn't stop myself from punching him. His nose was my target. "YOU TOOK EVERYTHING!"
"Aw, Jacky. Its okay. She loved every second of it. Our family needed to go on. She had NO CHOICE!"
"Thats why her mother ran! Your family is sick and demented! YOU BOTH DESERVE EVERYTHING YOU GET!" with that I walked out. Sat down and waited. They had both of them strapped down to chairs.
This officer escorted the doctor in.
"Alexa and Michael Massey you are charged with the murder of Alice Massey and the rape, murder and assault with intent to do harm of Amanda Massey-Porter and the rape and murder of Selena Ruiz. You both were sentenced to death by lethal injection. Do you have any last words?" The officer said sternly.
Just smiling and fake crying Alexa said "I'm so sorry Jack. The bitch had it coming and her mother knew it. You can run but you can't hide, bitch".
Michael just starred at me, smiling and said "oh jacky, she was good. Farewell, I'll see you soon". A smile I will never forget.
I felt a wind on my hair. Amanda never lefted me.
The doctor then put the needle in Alexa's arm. She went in 5 minutes.
Michael starred at me the whole time. I knew he couldn't see us through the one way mirror. But he starred into me. His last attempt at scaring me. I wasn't moved. Amanda hugging me the whole time.
10 minutes later, he was gone. A day I waited for, for so long. I wish I would've killed him myself.
I sat there for 5 minutes as they covered the bodies and took them out. I had this satisfication come over me. Like, it was over.
My heart too broken for repair.
As I went back into my car, I had this uncontrollable urge to go back to the cemetery.
It was a two hour drive I took many times a week; too many to count.
Amanda and I song came on the radio. They Don't Know About Us by One Direction.
"They don't know about the things we do
They don't know that I love you
But I bet you, if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us"
I couldn't help but sing out loud. I could hear her sing next to me, as she always would. Everything reminded me of her.
I parked my car and walked to my wife's final resting place. This time everything was different. I saw her running ahead of me. Sitting on her stone. She never said a word.
Just smiled.
Beautiful.
I stayed all night this time.
I fell asleep talking to her.
Never to wake up again.
It was the way I've always imagined it. She was waiting for me.
"Hello Mr. Jack Porter, my husband"
Mr. & Mrs. Porter together for the rest of eternity.
As it always was.
