Lovely Tragedy

Epilogue

Lance's POV

I wake up, and I'm lying in a field. I'm in a dream again. I stand quickly, and I search for her. I frantically turn and look through, the open field. It's empty, and I'm completely alone. I fall to my knees and weep. I don't know how long I sit there, but after a while, I hear her voice.

"You're not alone, and you never will be."

I look up and see her. Sasha, she's beautiful. She's wearing a white flowing gown. Her long blond hair blew with the wind. She's smiling, she's stunning.

"You're here? How are you here?"

"I'll always be with you Lance, even if you can't see me. I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere."

"I need you, Sasha, I can't do this without you. I need you. I want to remember everything. I want us."

She leaned down and kissed my forehead. I looked up at her, and all of my memories flooded back. I was so in love with her, more than I had ever known. She was my everything. We shared our first kiss in the park. I remembered our project, and writing the song. Everything. I love her, she's my soulmate, and I've lost her. Her voice cuts through my thoughts.

"Then come with me."

I look up at her, not knowing what she meant. Her eyes are shining brighter than ever. As I'm here staring into her beautiful face, I know that I could never live without her. I place my hands gently on her cheeks, and as she leans into my touch, I know she can't cope without me either.

"I'll go anywhere you want me to. I'm yours forever. I asked you to stay with me, and you promised that you wouldn't give up on me. You've kept your promise Sasha, and I will forever be grateful."

A tear ran down her cheek, and I wiped her tears away gently. I laid her down in the grass and held her close. I didn't want this to end right away. We lay there just enjoying each other's company. I want to be with her forever.

"There is a way for you to stay with me Lance, but only if you're ready."

I knew what she meant. If I died I could stay with her forever. I don't know if I'm ready to die. How could I just give up?

"I love you, Sasha, I don't know what to do, I want to be with you, but I'm afraid."

"I know you are Lance, and it's okay."

She stood up and walked towards the open field.

"You don't have to make a choice now. I love you, Lance."

Then she disappeared. I sat there where we were laying just a moment ago. I want to be with her so much. I need her.

I heard voices, and it took me a minute to realize who they belonged to. It was the doctors.

"He was hit pretty hard by that car. There's nothing left that we can do. It's up to him if he wants to live. He has to fight for it."

I knew that I would never be the same. I don't know how I knew, but I knew. I wouldn't be able to walk the same. I wouldn't be the same man. My life would change forever.

I need to be with her. She completes me and makes me a better man. It took both of us to die for me to realize that.

"I want to be with you, Sasha."

As I said those words, there was a bright light on the other side of the field. As I walked towards it, I heard her voice again.

"Come to me Lance, we will be together forever."

I ran to her, and as the light enveloped me I knew I was safe. This is the end of our love story. What a lovely tragedy this is.

The end.
