Second Chance. (Ultimate Dream Sequel - Zak Bagans Fan Fic)

Cautious.

How do I even begin to start my story, I'm Tilly, 28 and at the moment I'm doing a temp job at the local cemetery. Scary right? Ofcourse it is, you tell people what you do and they freak out like calm down I don't molester the dead. I did pretty well at school but never came to settle on a job, I've been a nanny, personal assistant, dog walker and even a lawyer but I've never found happiness in what I do.

Every day I'll somehow come across watching my favourite show Ghost Adventures and I'll be honest I walk through the graves at night and pretend I could do what they do but if I had an experience I'd run and cry, I'm a massive scaredy cat.

I was walking along the graves and came across "Leigh Bagans" she was Zak's wife, they had an amazing love story. I felt so bad for him once she left but no doubt he would've spoken to her by now. I stood just outside her beautiful burial land and sent my love and wishes to her, Leigh was beautiful. I couldn't imagine loosing someone so quick, they barely even got to share a life but I guess they knew the had limited time and he would've showed her the world.

I hadn't seen Zak ever come her to visit, maybe people might follow him or maybe he is scared. Some people find it hard to come to terms with death. I don't fear death I fear the transition to death, you know what's coming from dying but life can always have alternative endings and that scares me. Like going from job to job I worry about my financial security and if I can afford rent or if I can afford to eat, it's all worrying but death is simple.

The next afternoon I started my round, I was going around fixing up flowers on graves and cleaning the area. I brought a beautiful bunch of roses to place on Leigh's grave as she had nothing, I came to her grave and placed them down.

"Leigh Bagans; you have the light to my life - Zak." I read out her tombstone and smiled to myself, she was a lucky woman and I'm guessing he was a very lucky man.

"Uhh excuse me?" Oh shit, I'm caught. I shot my head around standing up.

"I-I'm sorry" I held my head as I stood up too fast and could start to see lights flashing.

"You know this person?" There he was. Zak.

"Um no, I'm sorry I know her because of you, your wife" I smiled at him, he didn't look well. He seemed so hurt still, I bowed my head and couldn't bring myself to face him so I decided to leave.

"Um are these from you?" I looked back at him pointing to my roses.

"Yes. Yes they are, she seemed incredible Zak. I'm sorry for your loss." I walked away and left him to have a moment, I continued to clean up the area.

I watched over Zak as he didn't look okay maybe I could've helped him or maybe just stood by him?

Tilly, you don't even know them!

I shrugged my shoulders and still watched, his lips were moving maybe he was saying goodbye or something. He slowly bent down and kneeled before her tombstone, my god him kneeling would've sent me to an early grave.

TILLY!

I brought myself to look away and leave him to it, I didn't want to seem rude but something like this was beautiful a man still in love. How pure and how sad, till death will they ever see one another.

I went over by the hut and started to clean up the outside as the last worker clearly didn't. I collected all the shovels and placed the up right and tidied up the little garden.

"Thank you."

I jumped and squealed making all the other visitors look over at me, how embarrassing.

"Easy there, I'm sorry" Zak held his arms out assuring me he meant no harm.

"Oh my god I'm sorry. Scared me a little" I wiped my head and exhaled. We just stood there trying not to look at one another.

"Bye" he gave a quick hand motion and left.

He quickly got out of the place and I couldn't even say bye back, I probably looked like a stunned mule just drooling in front of him.

As the sun set the rest of the visitors left, I did one last round to make sure everyone was gone, locked up the gates and went inside my little hut/apartment and made myself dinner.

I started to think about Zak and maybe if next he comes again what will I say?

Careful Till, he lost his wife and is still in love with her!

I must be very cautious and besides he ain't going to fall for me, I babysit graves.
