Ellie's POV:
I ripped up Ryder's note. I didn't want to hear what he had to say. He was leaving me to fend for myself. I had no parents and no help. It was just me and the horses in my empty home.
When Ryder left, I ran into my house and cried as I laid on the couch.
"WHY DID HE HAVE TO LEAVE ME? HES ALL I HAD AND I LOVED HIM! I NEVER-" I screamed and then I came to my realization. I ran to the barn and grabbed the note and pieced it together. The note:
Ellie,
I never wanted to hurt you. I didn't want to leave but my parents are making me. They say my aunt is sick at home and my sister broke her leg. I hope we see each other again. I love you.
~Ryder
Attached to the letter was his address. I ran to town to rent a car since my pick up was destroyed from the storm. I drove all day and all night. I finally reached his home. I wasn't going to lose him.
I ran to the door and before I knocked, I rethought what I was doing. I might never love someone how I love Ryder. I knocked on the door and he answered.
"Ellie." He said astonished under his breath.
I hugged him tightly and he wrapped his arms around me. "I can't be away from you." I sobbed into his shoulder. "You won't have to be." He calmed me down. We were finally together at last.
-13 YEARS IN THE FUTURE-
Ryder picked me up and carried me bridle style to the lake. He stood in the sand and pretended to throw me into the lake but didn't. "Stop! Stop!" I screamed and giggled. He put me down and I shoved him into the water.
We both frolicked thorough the water and splashed each other.
Our wedding was just last week and we still live on my old farm. We planted a new apple tree and even though Vincenzo died, we never stop talking about him. He strayed away from his family to be with me.
We were hopelessly in love with each other. I'm just hoping it stays that way. I've never been happier in my entire life.
