Chapter 28

I opened my present from my mom and I'm instantly confused. "Mom what's this?" My mom shrugs.

"Open it and find out."

I laugh at her childish response. I open the book and I see Krystina's name in calligraphy. I sigh heavily, how could I not remember this? "Mom, how did you fix it?"

"It wasn't easy. It was hard to tell what pages went where, but everything is in it's right place and even past where she stopped writing in that book, I inserted a few of the new stuff she wrote after the hospital." I open it up to the final page.

'Its odd how love can change so many people.

Many antisocial people soon become close friends. Many people who tend to hate everyone have fun with the one they love.

Luckily I got to see all this as well as experience it. When I think back to Jude, maybe I did love him. But something didn't feel as pure when I thought about him, maybe it was because of the experience. Maybe it was the typical high school first love.

The love I feel with Aiden is scary real. I'm afraid to be in love with Aiden, not because he doesn't deserve it, but because we are still so young. I know it was real love however.

Aiden stayed by my side and loved me in a near death experience. Not many people my age can say that the person they love stayed by them on their death bed. Especially with the hatred that was shown before hand.

My love with Aiden was real. It was pure. It was something not everyone experiences, and I'm happy I got to before I leave. My heart will always belong to him. My proof is in the outcome of this story, my life for his.

Soon I pray he'll prove his love to me somehow. I'm not too sure how, but I don't care. I know he loves me. Proof would show everyone else. My proof was the look in his eyes when we looked at each other not saying a word.

That simple look made me feel loved. It kept me alive and strong, it kept me sane. It kept me from letting anyone hurt him. I couldn't bear to live without him. I love him with my whole heart.

The love story of Natasha and James is the story of Krystina and Aiden. Mine and Natasha's proof of love is giving our lives to save the one person who meant the world to us. What are James and Aiden's next move? Carry on the love or walk away? I may not know James, although he is a fictional character. But I know Aiden. He'll carry on the love, because that's something that can give him a place to call home and a sense of hope.' I close the book and nod.

"So what's your next move Aiden?" My mom asks giving me a knowing look. I smile and grab Veronica's hand.

"Veronica and I are getting married."

Krystina's POV

"Veronica and I are getting married." I smile and look at Ashton with tears in my eyes.

"I guess he's choosing to carry on the love." I nod and hug Brody.

"That's the Aiden I know." Drake is sitting beside Gianna and Trevan, Mr. Masters is sitting by Justin, Jude is sitting between Hayden and Aiden and Brody and I are standing beside Aubrey.

"That's amazing you two." Aubrey says with a smile. She looks absolutely gorgeous. I look down and see Aubrey's baby boy looking up at me.

"Hi baby boy." I kneel down beside him and smile. He smiles back and I kiss his little nose. "How's the baby doing?" He starts laughing and kicking lightly. Aubrey looks down at him.

"What's wrong baby?" Hayden looks down at him.

"Is Brody okay?" My eyes widen and I look at my little brother.
