Stay With Me >>Hayes Grier

E I G H T E E N// The End

Rosalie Lesley's View;

It had been one month since Liz's death. Skylynn had a hard time adjusting to everything. My mom would take custody in February. Hayes was always trying to keep himself busy and Nash stayed in L.A a lot. Plus, he is currently on tour in Germany. Will has been at home resting, he recently pulled a muscle while exercising so much. Chad and Nila are very happy together and they're very supportive throughout the whole process.

And me? I go to Liz's grave every day. I talk about the day and how the kids are doing. That's the only way I can cope currently. I pray to god everyday to help all of us. Everyone has gotten better at living with it, but ive just keep trying to accept it.

"Rosie?" A voice comes behind me and I jump.

Turning around, Hayes stood there. He was holding a rose and he looked confused.

"What are you doing here?" Hayes asks me.

I sigh, "I've been coming here everyday. To talk about my day.." I stopped talking once I came to conclusion that I might've sound insane.

"If it helps then okay." Hayes places the rose in front of Liz's grave, and mumbles a prayer.

I stand up now, looking around the cemetery. "Your mom told me something before she died. I didn't say this at the funeral." I stopped talking , looking down at my sneakers.

"She told me that she considered me as a daughter." I made eye contact with Hayes, "I also made a promise. I promised to stay with--"

"To Stay With Me?" Hayes finished my sentence perfectly.

"Yes." I smiled, "Do you think we can keep that promise?"

Hayes looked down and smiled to himself, "I promised myself that the moment I set eyes on you. But most importantly, you have a piece of my mom."

"What do you mean?" I asked a tad confused.

"See, you were the last one with her before she passed and that means you were the last person to hear her voice. In your mind, you're the only one who has that memory. Nobody else does." Hayes explained.

"I love you Rosalie and from the past couple of months , I've realized that more and more." Hayes told me.

|~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~|

Hayes and Rosalie get married at the age of 26. Skylynn continues to be Rosalie's adoptive sister. Will and his girlfriend get married too. Nash becomes an inspiration to all, even though he was already. The last thing that could be said is; Liz watched over the Grier/Lesley family. Saw how there life came to be. And continued to have a big smile on her face.

Thank you guys so much! It has been such an honor to work on Stay With Me. I gotta say, it took about a year to complete. But it was worth it!! Once again, thank you for supporting me.
