Relapse (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 20; Where are you?

-3 month later-
~~~~Luke's POV~~~~
I woke up a month ago and knew I wanted to surprise Nicole by asking her to marry me. I had it all planned out. I was going to get her a bouquet of flowers, just random, beautiful flowers, and a ring to even more gorgeous than the flowers. I strolled down the side walk looking for the flower shop. After a few minutes of wondering around town I found the flower shop and entered in. "Good afternoon!" A cheery voice greets me from behind the counter. "Good afternoon to you too!" I cheered back as I looked around at the bouquet's.
    "See anything that you like, sir?" The woman who appeared to be in her late 30's asked me. "Mm, yeah! This assorted bouquet of flowers," I pointed out. The woman picked them up for me and brought them over to the front desk. "These for someone?" The woman asked me with a hint of a smile. "Yes, they're for my girlfriend. I'm going to ask her to marry me today," I tell the woman who looked up at me with a bright smile. "You sir must be a very lucky man and she must be a very lucky girl," the woman says to me. "Yeah," I gave a laugh, "I am a very lucky man to have her in my life. She's so smart and beautiful, no. She's gorgeous. She has one of those personalities you just can't get enough of. She's just so kind and I shouldn't even be worthy to have her but she loves me," I told the woman, "she was amazing," I smiled to myself at the thought of Nicole's smile.
    The woman "awed" at my words and handed me the flowers. "Oh," I said reaching into my pocket for my wallet, "how much will this be?" I asked the lady at the desk. "Nothing, it's on the house. I hope she says yes," she tells me with a smile. "Thank you so much, ma'am," I thanked her with a huge grin on my face. "No problem, sir," she yells back to me as I walked out of the flower shop.
    I then walked down to Kay Jewellers to get the engagement ring for Nicole. I opened the door holding the flowers the woman let me have and walked into the store. "Hello sir," a man who had black hair and a beard greeted me. "Hey," I responded looking at the rings in the desk. "How may I help you today?" The man asked me. "Well, I'm looking for an engagement ring," I explain to him. "Oh okay, well if you look over here you'll see what you're looking for over here," the man points.
    "Oh I'm sorry," he shakes his head, "what is your price range so I can start you out with something," the man tells me. "I don't have one. Whichever's good for her will do," I tell the man. He gives a smile and looks at the rings. "Would this maybe interest you?" He asks pulling out a ring with a silver band. You can see that there were diamonds on each side. On the top of the ring was a diamond the size of a dime, circling the diamond to keep it in place was a squiggle design. The ring was absolutely beautiful.
    The guy told me the price and I paid for it. "She's a lucky girl if you're willing to spend so much on her," the man tells me with a smile on his face. "For her I'd go broke. She doesn't like it when I get her things but I'm sure she'll like this," I told him. "I'm sure she'll love it," the man tells me. I nodded my head still smiling from ear to ear and left.
    I went back to my apartment to get ready. I took a shower, dried my hair and put my suit on. I made sure my breath was clean and I looked presentable. I came out of the bathroom and patted the kitten I got for Nicole and I on the head before walking downstairs to get into my car.
    I met up with Nicole and sat down with her. "Hey," I greeted her. "I got you some flowers, I know you don't care how many you get or what they look like but I thought they were beautiful so I got them for you," I told her. Like usual I didn't get a response so I laid the flowers down carefully.
    "I also wanted to ask you something," I started. I reached into my pocket where I had the box holding the ring. "I know you can't wear it but I will put it on our dresser at home, in your drawer," I told her fiddling with the box. "I've always loved you and I still love you. I made sure you knew I love you and that I'm willing to do anything for you any day," I told her, I could feel my eyes start to water. "I wanted to ask you to marry me," I finally said before getting a choked feeling. "I mean, hey, it's not too late to ask you, is it? When I got into that car accident all I wanted to do was see you but I ruined my chances by being stupid," I could feel the tears rolling down my face. "When I woke up all I wanted to do was see you but when the guys sat me down after a day of waking up they told me that you killed yourself a few days before. I thought it was just another lets go to the hospital again and wait for you to wake up after a few days," I laughed.
    "I said, well let's go back to the hospital so I can see her! But they just looked at each other with sad looks making my hopes of you still you know go away. They told me that your funeral was in a couple days so I just lost it, I don't know why I still went on after the funeral. I guess it was because there was something telling me that you would want me to live my life the way it was supposed to be. You know? I understand why you did it, you thought I wasn't ever going to wake up and things just got to rough, I could never understand how you felt every day but now, now I think I can. You will always be loved no matter what and you will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for being my girl friend and thank you for always being there for me. I'm so, so sorry I couldn't have woken up sooner so you could still live. I'm sorry," I said before leaning my head on her tombstone like I have the past couple of weeks I've been coming to her grave.
    "I have to go now but I'll come and see you tomorrow," I tell her after noticing the time. I walk back to my car and for every day that passed I visited Nicole's grave. Soon it was twice a week to twice every month. I bought her flowers every time I came and swept away the dead ones. She needed all the life she could get. Ironic to say but I still miss her after all these years. I still live for her.

Welp guys, here's the ending. The ending of this story.
I honestly cried writing this chapter and people were over too.
I wanted a sad ending so I made it a sad ending.
Thank you all so much for reading this poorly written story. I never checked for spelling errors or grammar errors so yeah.
Thanks so much for sticking through this story.
Ps: I got this idea from another story I read in a day so not completely my idea.
