We made vows in the tree house, together, Forever.

Part 2

Scarlett’s POV.

I woke up early, bleary eyed. I got out of bed, and stumbled down the stairs. “Good morning!” My mother said cheerfully. I just looked at her. “What do you want for breakfast?” “Nothing I’m not hungry.” I muttered back. “Fine suit yourself then.” She replied, staring at me. I got up, and went back upstairs, the thought of more small talk with my parents was unbearable. I got dressed, then sat on my bed staring out of the window, I could just make out the tree house in the distance. Tears streamed down my face as I thought of all the memories I’d had with Aston. He was my best friend, my lover, my soul mate and now he was gone. Without warning, my mother was sitting on the best next to me. “Don’t worry about it sweetheart. There’s plenty more fish in the sea!” She said. “He wasn’t that special anyway…” “Not that special?” I snapped back. “You don’t know half of it!” I ran down the stairs, straight out the front door and headed to the tree house. I climbed up the ladder and opened the trap door. It was exactly the same as I’d left it yesterday. But yet it was so different, without Aston, the tree house meant nothing. I sat down, not knowing what to do, there was an envelope pinned to the wall. I sat down crossed legged on the floor and opened it, it read: 

My Princess:

I love you. My world has been torn in two, I can’t imagine life without you. But that’s fate, and fate has torn us apart. Try and be strong for both of us beautiful. Maybe one day we’ll meet again, who knows what the future holds? All I know is, you are the love of my life, and no one can ever compare to you just remember that okay? Take this necklace as a token of my love, I will never forget you. 

All my love Ax.

I felt around in the envelope, before pulling out a heart shaped pendant necklace, it was beautiful. I put it on, and vowed that I would wear it until the day I died. I curled up in a ball and sobbed into the late hour of the night.

Aston’s POV.

“Come on Ast! Cheer up!” Said Conor, booting me in the leg. I just sat there, blanking him. How could he expect me to cheer up?! It was our first night in the new house, and I HATED it. “I’m going to bed.” I muttered. “Ast it’s only 8pm?” Mum said, sounding shocked. “Yeah, well time don’t matter anymore.” I replied. “My life without her is nothing anyway.” I added, not loud enough for anyone to hear. I sat on my bed, staring out of the window onto the unfamiliar view. Was she thinking about me as much as I was thinking about her? Or has she already forgotten about me? I took my phone out of my pocket, and selected Scarlett’s name, I was about to press ring. “No.” I said suddenly. “A clean break will be better for us both.” I laid back, and rested my head on the headboard, that’s when reality really hit me, I was never going to see her again. The tears came flooding down my face again. A few hours later and I was still curled up in bed, my back away from the door. I heard someone come in. “What am I going to do with you eh Ast?” I heard my mother sigh, slowly closing the door behind her. “I love you Scarlett.” I whispered, as I did every night since the day we got together. “I love you more than you will ever know.”
