One Year Left To Live: A Dricki Fanfic

Chapter 20

I Love You Brey... Don't ever let me go.

That was the last thing she had said to him. They last thing she had managed to say before she left him for good. It hurt. It hurt so much that words couldnt even explain. It was now the day after and he had never felt so lost in his life. He hadn't slept, eaten or talked to anyone since it happened, but worse of all he hadn't stopped crying. Everything around him reminded him of her, but he knew she was in a better place. As much as he didnt want to let he go he knew he had to.

Right now he sat alone in the park on one of the swings as his tears streamed his face. He looked next to him at the empty swing and imagined her sat there smiling back at him. He put his head in his hands just cried more. No one, but her would know how to deal with him at this point, but she wasn't with him anymore. He got off the swing and just sat on the floor. The cold December weather surroundong him. He felt the presence of someone so he looked up to find Ashley stood there. She reached her hand out and he took it. She helped him to his feet where she bought him into an embrace.

Drake: Why her Ashley. Why her.

She just held him in the embrace as he cried on her shoulder.

Ashley: I don't know drake, I really don't and I wish all this wasn't true I really do but we're gonna have to accept the fact that shes gone now. She finally at ease. She doesn't have to fight anymore

He started crying even more before detaching himself from her and wiping his tears. She wiped her own before proceeding with the message she had originally come to tell him.

Ashley: We're having her memorial tonight, at the beach. Just like she wanted. And I'm sure out of all of us, she would've wanted you there the most.

He nodded.

Drake: what time

Ashley: we're gonna be there around 6 so whenever you're ready

He nodded again. She bought him into another hug of which he accepted before they parted and went their separate ways. He continued his walk around the city until he made it to carols. She was also rejecting visitors, but he knew she wouldn't turn him down. He used the spare key to get in and found her sat in the living room also drowning in her tears. He walked over to her and bought her into an embrace and just sat beside her.

Carol: She's gone Aubrey. She's actually gone

He just held her as they cried together.

Drake: its okay. She's in a better place now. She didn't deserve to fight anymore. She had held on for so long

Carol: I know. But I just can't deal with it. I can't bare the pain I'm feeling right now. Nothing has ever felt worse.

Drake: Shhhh, We're gonna be fine. We have to be, for her. She made us promise that we'd be okay

Drake was sat on the floor in nickis room. Hen just took in all of his surroundings. Everything was neatly where it belonged. Just like she had left it the day he had last taken her out. Her bed was made up with all the stuffed toys he had got her lined up in height order. He chuckled to himself at hers little OCD ways. His eyes trailed up and looked a over her bed where he found the canvas he had got her for their 8 years of friendship. The picture of them printed clearly onto it. He could still remember the day perfectly and all of the events that had taken place. He found one of her cardigans on the floor next to him. He picked it up and just held it in his hands letting the material glide through his fingers. He held it close to him as the tears started again. He inhaled deeply to try and stop himself before he stood and folded the cardigan. He placed in in her wardrobe among all her other clothing. He took another look around and just broke down in tears. As much as he tried to convince himself that he was okay, he knew he wasn't. He wanted her back so bad, but nothing could be done about it. She was gone.
