Flight Of Fancy

26. The End

"I m like an open book to you. You have read me till the page I have been written. I hope you remain a character till the very last page, till the very last word. I love you Will"
"Amazing.... The line is just amazing. When did you write it and how long did it take you to make it perfect?"
Rach is the most curious person I know. Yeah, I m going to tell Will that I love him. It will all happen tomorrow when he comes to pick me up in the morning.
"It did not take me any time to write this. It was something I felt and I wrote it. Do you think its nice enough? Will he say yes?"
"Are you joking. Of course he will say yes. He follows you around like a love struck puppy. Ohh I m so happy. I knew it was bound to happen"
"Thanks Rach. It would not have been possible if you did not encourage me. I just hope that nothing wrong happens tomorrow."
" It will be all nice and fine Ell"
************************************
Today I m going to confess my feelings to Will. I can't wait. I didn't sleep the entire night....thinking about how he will react. Finally the moment is here and I am going to be in a relationship with the man of my dreams.
I fussed for around an hour yesterday over what I should wear for this special occasion. Finally I chose a dress which suited me more than any other did. Today I m even going to apply some makeup. I m going to curl my hair and everything. I m going to be a total girl today.
I should start getting ready.
************************************
I hear the horn outside my house and I glance at my reflection the last time to make sure that I look nice enough.
I climb down the stairs and my mum is standing in the kitchen with a sandwich in her hand.
"Thanks mum"
I say snatching the food from her hand.
"That is not ladylike Ell. By the way good luck. I hope he says yes"
"Thanks mum. I hope he does too"
I gulp the sandwich down my throat and step outside ...... I am as nervous as I could possibly be. My hands are trembling and there are beads of perspiration​ forming along the line of my forehead. I m ready for this ....I can not give up now
"Wow you look terrific. Anything special today?"
"Thank you Will and yeah today is a special day"
"Ummmm... I wanted to tell you something...before you hear it from someone else"
"Yeah go on"
"I asked Alyssa to be my girlfriend and she said yes. I couldn't wait for you my entire life. Hope you understand."
Of all the things he could have said......this is what he says on the day I am going to confess to him.
"Congratulations. I m happy that you are moving on"
I hide the tears in my eyes and move towards the car. I sit on the passenger seat and Will comes running behind me taking his driver's seat.
"Are you alright, kitty?"
"Yeah I m fine. Its just that ....you are moving on.....I wanna move on too"
Do I not deserve to have love in my life?
He starts the car and the engine comes to life. We move in the direction of our school and just before the last turn ...... He turns the car around.
"Where are we going?"
"Somewhere"
He is not going to tell me now. What is it with guys and surprises?
We pass through an isolated area. It seems familiar. I close my eyes. Its the exact place Noah bought me to two months back.
"We are here"
"I have been here"
"I know. Noah came back ......he met you yesterday....I saw him kissing you. He callled me after that and told me that you were in love with me. He was the one who asked me to bring you here. He said that you love this place"
"But you have a new girlfriend"
"There is no girl in the school whose name is Alyssa....do you think love is something you can just stop. No its not. I love you Elizabeth Stinson. Will you be my girlfriend?"
He kneeled down as he asked the question. Romantic much?
"Yes yes yes. I will be your girlfriend"
I jump up and hug him. Both of us fall to the sand beneath us with me landing on top of him. He turns around reversing our positions. Now he is on top of me and is leaning in to kiss me.I have the firecrackers I was searching for yesterday. You can't experience something like that with two people now, can you?
"We should go back now and announce our relationship to the world."
Why would anyone want to announce their relationship to the world?
"Yeah lets go back. I don't want to miss any classes because of you"
"Ohh I m worth more than any of your classes and I know that now"
We head back to the car. Both of us sit in silence cherishing the moments we just shared. We are going back to our school. There is a truck behind us. The driver seems kind of reckless.
"Will please drive carefully. I don't want to die today"
"I wouldn't mind if I did die today. This is the happiest day of my life and I couldn't wish for a better death"
I know he is not serious. The truck driver increases his speed and smashes the back of our car. Our vehicle topples and turns and finally comes to rest. Both of us are covered in blood. I know that this is the end. I have to tell him.
"I love you Will. I m like an open book to you. You have read me till the page I have been written. I hope you remain a character till the very last page, till the very last word. I love you Will"
A smile forms on his face.
"I love you more Kitty" and his face falls as he struggles to get the words out of his mouth. No it can't be. I can't let him or myslef die. We love each other. We have not even spent a day of our relationship together. Both of us are stuck, unable to move our single limb. He is unconscious and I m getting dizzy.

Lie beneath the seamless sky and imagine what it would be like if we were not where we are right now? What if the life we have been living till now is a facade? What if we were living a different life right now?

Even if it was a facade, I lived a beautiful and complete life. I found my love in a jerk. If there exists an afterlife, I hope we live it together.
We are dying and nothing can prevent that. I don't regret a single decision I made in my life. I just wish that I could say goodbye to my loved ones. My mom, Rach, Alex even Noah.
Goodbye everyone and love you all. I have lived the best seventeen years anyone could imagine. I m happy and content. I m ready to experience my afterlife with my love. In this life and all the rest I hope that he stays by me.
