Lana Parrilla 27

39.

It's been a year sense Emilee left this world. When we went to get the stuff out of her truck we had to take the seat completely out. There was another book along with a stack of pictures. There was also, a map, a bag of carrots, a necklace that had a metal cover of a passport, and another letter.
The pictures where of everything we did together. Snap chat, Instagram, everything. The book gave us instructions and was a scrap book to put the pictures in. The book told us to get her horse and give her a carrot. At first I thought she was joking but then she said the carrot would allow her to be saddled. She only let Emilee. Then we had to get another horse and follow the map. We followed the map to the top of a mountain. We where sore because we went on horse back. When we got to the top I opened the letter which said.
You made it to the top. It took a while and your sore but you made it. Was it worth it? Yes, yes it was. The neckless with a passport wear to every country or state you visit. Get a charm from that place. Put it on your neckless and in two years take it to Dylan. I wrote this because I knew those people where going to be in that store. I wouldn't have gone if they weren't. I know your thinking "what the hell? You wanted to die?" It's not like that. You'll understand why in 2 years. For now I want you to take care of the horse your sitting on. She's a good one. On the back of each picture is a date and a quote of something either funny or just something you said. On the picture that has us in Mexico is and address go there your first charm I want to go on your neckless is there, along with someone I want you guys to become friends with. You've meet her but it was brief. Please just go.
Emilee

We had gone to Mexico and found the charm. It was one that was in the shape of Mexico.
Once was currently on break and we where at a panel. Jen was wearing a tight blue dress while I wore a simple black one. I sat down at my seat next to Jen. The questions started coming and I was laughing. But then I noticed that there was a spot in remembrance of Emilee.
"My question is for Lana." I jerked my head and smiled at the girl.
"Hi." I said grabbing Jens hand.
"I was wondering what your neckless stood for? We see all these pictures and your always wearing it. And each time you go some where new you have a new charm on it." I smiled.
"Well this neckless is like a journey. Every time I go somewhere I get a charm that relates to that place. The charm in the middle says passport. My first charm I got in Mexico." I smiled.
She nodded her head and handed the mic to the next person.
"Hi my question is like hers but I was wondering if Jen gave that to you or if you came up with the idea yourself." I stopped breathing. Jen squeezed my hand.
"I uh no Jen did not give it to me. Emilee did." Everyone gasped. "In a letter she left for me she told me how it works and where to get the first charm." I smiled remembering the time in Mexico.
I looked to see the cast all staring at me. I shrugged. They new how hard it was for me but they also knew that I was going to spread her memory.
"My question is for Jen." Jen perked up and smiled.
"Hey there." She winked. I laughed at Jen trying to be cute. She already was but she was just doing this and made me just want to kiss her.
"Where you and Emilee as close as her and Lana?" The man blushed.
"Actually I knew Emilee like I know most of the people close to me. But if you want to 20 question some one about her you either have to ask her mother or her mom." I looked to Jen.
"Yes let's do a 20 question." Eddy said at the other end. Everyone cheered. They choose five people to do 4 questions each.
"Alright." I sighed and took a drink of my water.
"Ok my first question is do you still have Emilees jackets? Like the ones you took pictures of?" The girl asked. I smiled and reached down to my big purse I brought with me. I grabbed the material and pulled it to my lap.
"Yes I do." They all cheered. I lifted it up and showed the famous white camo jacket. Everyone bursted into applause and cheers.
"What was Emilees favorite color?" Another asked. I set the hoody down on my lap.
"Sparkly turquoise and metallic silver." I smiled so big my face was just glowing.
"I know it says that Emilee was born in a small town in Utah. But was she a small town country girl?" Another asked.
"Yes she was. She was always amazed by big cities. She sometimes when she got excited her drawl would come in and she would start talking like 'it so purty it got so many stuff.' And sometimes when she was mad you could tell that she was raised in a place where it was eye for an eye unless it's a guy that did you wrong then you loose you man hood." I smiled again. Every one laughed and so did the cast.
"I want to know when Emilee first left for Iraq did you give her anything?" It was an older woman with short grey hair.
"Yes I did. I gave her a locket in the shape of a dog tag. On one side it had a picture of everyone and on the other it said no matter where you are weather it's a quarter mile down the road or half  way around the world I will always find you." Everyone awed and chatted.
"Lana where is that neckless now?" Ginny asked. I took a deep breath.
"She has it where when she's missing home she can always see it." I tested up but quickly moved them away.
The first girl got the mic again.
"Did she leave anything to you?" She asked.
"Yes she did. I currently own her horse. And her truck." I looked down and swapped Josh's name card with Jens.
They went on asking questions about her and I answered them truthfully one that made me cry was the last one.
"Rumors have spread that she was engaged and that he wore the tux he was going to marry her in to her funeral is that true?" The old lady asked.
"Yes it is. His name was Dylan." I heard barking back stage and knew exactly who it belonged to.
"Who's dogs barking?" Adam asked with a smirk. Everyone laughed.
I stood up and walked around the front. Dylan came onto the stage with a Charlie. I heard all the questions going around.
"That dog would be Emilees husbands dog. Charlie." I crouched down and scratched his chin. He sold tall and alert.
"Lana wouldn't Lola be mad that you where petting another dog?" Robert asked laughing.
"Probably but this dog has a tag I want everyone to see. Can I get the camera to the big screen over here?" I asked standing up. I man walked over with a camera that was on a pulley that was attached to the screen. I took the tag off and placed it in front of the camera.
I showed the black apple with the gold around it that had Charlie in gold engraved. I flipped it over and read out loud what it said.
"I do." Hugged Dylan. I felt his tears on my shoulder.
"In memory of Sargent Emilee M. Peterson and our beloved actress today is their one year wedding aneraversry. Dylan married Emilee a year ago today. He kept his promise to her and married her." Colin said standing up and clapping. Everyone joined. After I put the tag back on he left. We finished the panel and went onto the other things we had to do. Jared was happy to answer questions about her. So was everyone else. At the end I went with the cast and we all went to dinner with Dylan and Charlie.
