"I would like to thank one person that has been there for me. My best friend, my lover, the girl I loved. Violet Skyes. I'm sure that everyone here at Oscars high knows her. That one girl with unusual grey eyes and long black hair" I presented my speech.
It was graduation day. Five days after she left. And here I am, giving each student a little piece of my mind,
"She was always there for everyone, she cared for everyone. But not a lot of people cared about her that much. I'll never be able to thank her enough for what she has done for me. She helped me, she was there for me. She cared" I continued.
"She had a bright future ahead of her, but heaven was aching for her to come back to her home. Even though I've known her for only 5 months, she had a great impact on my life. And I'm glad that I got to know her" I finished, and saw how everyone was crying.
Funny when you're dead, people start caring.
I accepted my diploma. And took Violet's too. Then I shook the principles hand and the other teachers.
While I was going back, I glanced at Asher, telling him that I'm leaving. And he just nodded at me.
And I also saw Cindy, Violet's mother. She got up and hugged me, then I hugged her back. "She's in a better place now" I told her.
"I know, son. I know" She said and wiped away her tears.
By now, everyone was staring at me, walking out of my own graduation. But I don't give a fuck.
I need to see her. This is her day. I have to congratulate her.
I drove the car that she always loved, the white one. I can still hear her laughing, and trying to find a good song on the radio.
It's crazy how my life seems empty without her. I was alone before she came into my life, but then I'm alone again.
And here I am. Still in my graduation gown. Still believing that she'll come back and I'll hug her like I always do.
"Hello, sugar" I greeted her, and put a single flower on her grave.
I took off my graduation cap and also placed it on her grave, beside the flower. "Congratulations, you're a college student now" I said and wiped away my tears.
"Look what they sent you in the mail today, you got accepted to Yale and Cambridge. I wonder which one you'll choose, sugar" I said and got out the acceptance letter, placing it neatly beside the other things.
I remembered how her hugs felt, how her lips tasted, and how falling in love with her seemed like.
Then I broke down.
"But you're gone" I said and sat down on my knees. "You're actually gone, and I'm alone now.. You're not coming back, aren't you?" I said and inhaled a deep breath.
"I couldn't do anything, I wish I tried harder. I wish I've done something. But I couldn't. There was no possible thing that I could've done in order to save you, so I loved you instead.." She won't come back.
"I promise you, I loved you with all my heart, I loved you so much, more than every single star in our universe. More than every drop of rain that has ever hit the ground. More than every heartbeat every human has"
I held her letter that she wrote for me closer to my heart, knowing that it's the last thing that I got from her.
"Now look at me, look at what love has done to me, look at me sitting in the ground while you're sleeping there underneath, look at me paying my price" I cried out, and put my hands on face.
"Grief is the price that we pay for love. But oh Violet, you're worth the heartbreak. I'd do anything to re-live these last few months with you. Even if it'll end with sorrow" I said and stopped crying after what if felt like hours.
I eventually got up, and wiped the tears away.
She wouldn't want me to cry. I know that she's in a better place.
She's in a better place.

I'm sorry if the ending was too sad but oh well, I like sad things. Also, I don't think there will be a sequel, because the main character is.. well, you know.. *cries in spanish*
I must say that it was a miracle that I wrote this in only one month, and it took me 2 weeks to just edit and publish.
Thank you for reading my book. Please vote for it and tell a friend or anyone. (:
Love you all,
