When All Hope Is Lost

The ending

      " why dont you believe me?" He said. Then he walked to his truck. I let a few tears fall but I stood my ground as I watched him leave. The rain fell. I had to squint to see him drive away. For a moment I thought about chasing after him but I knew how these stories ended. The girl never finds her Prince.
       After I could no longer see him I went inside and for the next four hours I was in a sort of haze.  I felt hurt and I felt as if my heart had drive away with him. I lay in bed the rest of the afternoon until at approximately 3 a.m. someone knocked on my door. I thought , no, I prayed it would be Jace. I guess that showed how wrong one girl could be. I kept checking my phone. Answering random numbers that always turned out to be clients or telemarketers. But when I opened that door....I knew instantly.
    " Mrs. Baile?" The police officer removed his hat and sighed. I let the years call and I hit my knees screaming 'why?' when I calmed down, I let him speak.
      "He's hurt bad. They took him to the hospital not far from here. I'll take you as soon as you're ready. " after I dressed and debated with my mind over my heart.......my heart won and I was silent the whole half an hour there. He led me to Jaces room.
     Jace was lying There, no-one else  seemed to notice the pain he was in but I did. I did. The cast on his right arm showed her broken it and the bandage on the other showed hed needed stitches. His face was bruised, nose broken, multiple stiches on his cheek and forehead. I was about to walk away when I heard his frail voice.
    "Ali?" I turned around and at that moment I was at his side with his  hand in mine.
    " im right here." as I said this he smiled and cringed in pain.
    " I love you, Ali. And I'm sorry." he let a tear fall
    " What happened? What happened after you left?" I needed to know.
    " I love you. I needed to tell you that. So I turned around... I didn't see the semi behind me. It hit me and the truck flipped....seven times they told me. But I don't want to go away without telling you how I feel. You changed my world. Ali...I love you..." he kissed my hand even though I knew it hurt him.
    " you're not going anywhere. And I'm sorry it took me so long to figure out that I love you. I love you so much, and you're not leaving me. I'm right here. " I kissed him. My tears hitting his cheek. . 
   

    During the night he died. I Don't think I'll ever forget the way I felt when they told me He was gone. I continued The business but I changed my business name to 'Jace's Heart.' I still can't stand the rain. I lay down every night remembering him and the way he made my heart stop. I dont think I'll ever find love like that again and I wouldn't want to. He showed me that you're heart will lead you to amazing places if you only let it. That you've always got those good memories to keep you going. ....when all hope is lost. .....
