SUMMER,BEACH AND SAM??~pottorff//completed

Chapter 29

~Sam~

"Kayla what's this?" I ask seeing a crumpled up piece of paper on the floor. Kayla is in the shower so I don't think she heard me.

'To My Darling Sam,' it read. My heart raced as I continued to read.

I've tried everything but if your reading this, chances are I'm dead. Its hard to know I've only known you for the summer but it feels like I've known you my whole life. You are the one. I know you are, and it makes me so happy to be blessed with your love. Well I guess I'm gone and all your love has been wasted on a me when it should have been given to someone who you could love and die old with. I'd like to say sorry Sam, its so hard and I'm losing hope. If I had the strength to fight my father I would but it wouldn't just be him I'd be fighting it would be his whole gang. Before I go I need to ask you something and you need to promise that you will do what I say. Please find someone who loves you as much as I did I know you can find someone that loves you just as much as I did and remeber I will be looking down on you with a smile as I watch you grow into a man. I will be there at your prom, homecoming , graduation day, wedding day and your funeral. Just call my name and I'll be there by your side to comfort and hold you even though I'm not physically with you I'll be there in spirt. I don't have much more time to write so I'm going to leave you with one last message there wil be doezens of people who take your breath away but the one who tells you breath is the one you should keep so please for me find someone who tells you to breath. Keep me in your heart but make room for others I know how hard it is for you to bring people in and to love them but please for me Sam do it for me.

Love always and forever Kayla

"Are you okay Sam?" I hear Kayla ask as she enters her bedroom.

"Yeah I'm fine," I said folding the paper up and putting it in my pocket.

"You don't look okay you look like you've been crying," she says sitting on my lap and wiping the tears aways.

"Don't worry about me I'm fine I was just thinking about all that has happened that's all but let's put that behind us."

"Yeah hopefully today could be the day I finally stop grieving," she sighs.

Today is the day of Drakes funeral and we are getting ready to leave. As much as I hated that boy he did save the love of my life and for that he deserves my respect.

"Shall we go then?" I asked holding my arm out for her to hold on to.

"We shall." And with that she grabbed onto my arm and and we walked to my car which was parked on the lawn out the front of Kayla's house.

"Bye Mum," Kayla yells from the door. "Bye sweetie good luck today, I wish I could come but it would be a risky move showing up when your father is still on the loose," she says frowning.

"Well if anything happens just call me. Okay?" Kayla tells her mother. "Okay," she replies and we step out of the door shutting it and still arm in arm walk to my car.

"You ready?" I ask squeezing her hand for comfort.

"As ready as I'll ever be," she says leaning over to kiss my check before we start to drive.

The drive to the funeral parlour was completely silent the only sound I could hear was Kayla's heartbeat and slow breaths as she looked out the window.

"Are you sure you can do this?" I ask her.

"Yeah as long as I've got you and Nick here I think I can be strong," she says taking a deep breath in.

"Do you mind if I brought some extra support?"

"What do you mean?" She asks.

"Look behind you" I told her.
