CHAPTER SIXTEEN - EVENTUALLY - The Final Chapter.

Being dead was surreal. But so was being with Aaron, so I didn't feel a whole lot different. We stayed in the field for most of the time. I laid in Aaron's arms, and watched the clouds move and change shape. It reminded me to when we were sitting beside the dorm when the family went down to the esturay. Just us, with no company, talking and cuddling under the warm summer sun. Magical. I missed Mum, and my Dad, and my Greggy. Something vibrated beside me, 'Emmi Swell calling' I pressed accept and held it to my ear. "Hello?" I heard Emmi's voice, shaking, and braile. "Mel! Where are you? Are you there? Hello?" I tried to speak to tell her everything. To apologise to her, for all I had put her through. But no words came out. Not even a noise. "Hello? Hello? Oh for f.." She then hung up.

I felt so selfish and stupid. I'd left my poor little cousin behind. A lump began to form in my throat, when I realised, I'd never be able to fufill the promise of the double date with Aaron, Kael, Emmi and I. I started to cry again. "Aaron, you've made a mistake." He looked at me confused. I tried to explain to him that we weren't meant to be together. Well no like this anyway. "We're not meant to die! Fairytales always have a happy ending!" I can remember, falling back in his lap. "This isn'a fairytale Mel, I lived in a hypocritical and judgemental world, without you there, everything seemed a million times worse. But now that I'm with you. It will all be fine. The only way we can ever be happy is together, sickness and in health, death do us continue." I smiled as he dried a tear from my eye. "We've got one fucked up happy ending babe. But I wouldn't have it any other way." He smiled, and brushed my hair behind my ear.

Moving on, it's been five years since I passed. Emmi and Kael were married in the third year. And Greg met a girl in school who he has dated for his last two years of high school. Leah is her name. I wish I could have met her. I dropped in to see my Mum once. She was having a bad day, so I dropped in at the salon to cheer her up. I didn't show my whole self. I used to work at the business when I was 15, and my desk had a protector, in which I would stick my head around to see what the next customer looked like. Soon the day I visited, I did that. She seemed to double take, before she realised it was me. Her day brightened so much more, and I think I help her let go.

Dad is another story though. He's been struggling since I died. Him and Mum are still together, but he has a secret battle, that he is trying to conquer. He will let go. I might have to go see him though.

They always say when you die and go to heaven, you see your past relatives. I never saw Grandad in my heaven, but I cross my fingers that I will, and he'll run at me with open arms and that smile and laugh I've desired to hear since he passed.

I knew someday I'd be happy. I knew someday I'd be with Aaron again.

I knew it would happen...

Eventually.
