Lin's POV

"I can't tell you how it started, it was so long ago. My love for him. It grew to immeasurable size very quickly.  All I know is that small flower tattoos started blossoming all over my body at some point. I think I was around 7... At first, I had no idea who my soulmate was, or why. For all I knew they could just have been extremely clumsy. Then again, I was to young to even really understand the concept.

Then I met him. Anthony Ramos. The sweetest, kindest, most adorable person you ever would have the honor to meet. We instantly clicked, and I think we both instantly figured out we were soulmates. We would spend every hour of the day together, hung out when ever we could. We were inseparable.

At this point, I should probably tell you, we were 9 when we met. Meaning that all of the flowers already on my body, had been inflicted on him. There was no way he could've done it to himself, even if he had wanted to. I remember the day I was old enough to realize he was being abused. We were in middle school. Really, all I remember is getting a flower over my eye, only for my mom to get a call from a crying Anth ten minutes later, asking her to pick him up. When my mom saw my face, she instantly knew why.

He had been living with us for a year. Until we met Daveed and his parents took Anthony in. Still, the flowers never really went away. The deeper the wound, the larger and more opaque the flower. It's common knowledge. Most of Then had faded, but not all. Then, around freshman year, they started blossoming around my wrists. My ankles. My thighs. I instantly knew something was up. I tried talking to him. I really did.... But he would always shut me out. I was losing my sunflower. Which, painfully enough, were the same type of flower that continued to blossom all over my body. I talked to him. He stopped for a while. I realized our senior year that He was probably the most important thing in my life. I realized that if I waited any longer, I would risk losing him forever."
My eyes watered as my breath hitched. I stared down at the paper in my hands, trying to blink the tears away. I took a shaky breath as I continued to talk.

"So, I bought a ring. I had it all planned out. I was going to propose at our high school graduation. Everyone was on board. Daveed was gonna distract him long enough. Oak was gonna set up the slideshow. My mom was going to record it-" I couldn't stop the sob that erupted out of my throat this time. Tears began to stream down my face as I tried to keep it together. I quickly wiped them away. I had to stay strong.

"Then, as most of you know. Two night before our graduation, I found the largest sunflower of my life. On my stomach, growing my the second. I instantly knew something had happened. I can't tell you how fast I got to Dee's house that day, but my heart almost stopped when I heard him pounding on their bathroom door." My knees started to wobble and I knew I wouldn't be able to stand much longer.

"That day, I lost the sole most important person in my life. Today, we're here to mourn. To remember all the light and life that Anthony Ramos Martinez brought to our lives. And, because I couldn't do it that night.... I'm doing it here...."

I bit my lip as I stuck my hand in my pocket and took out the small velvet box. My hands shook as I walked up to his coffin. I slipped the small box inside, right next to his heart. It may sound strange, but I leaned down and kissed his curly hair one last time.

"I love you so much Sunflower. And I always will."

I turned away from his coffin, squeezing my eyes shut as the closed it. I had to be supported on both side by Daveed and Oak while he was being lowered into the ground. I couldn't stand by myself. My sobs echoed through the cemetery as I watched my love disappear from my life forever. I somehow knew in that moment I would never be the same.

Five Years Later

I smiled sadly as I walked up to Anthony's grave, a bouquet of sunflowers in my hand. My son Sebastian holding on to my empty hand. My wife Vanessa followed closely behind. She put her hand on my back and have me a dad smile, pulling Seb away to give me minute to myself.

I knelt down and placed the flowers on his grave. A tear made its way down my face, landing in the dirt. For a second, I thought I saw him. His perfect curly hair flowing behind him as he smiled down at me. I blinked, and he was gone. I stood up and Sebastian ran up to me.

"Papa? Are you ok?" He asked, grabbing my hand.

"Yeah buddy. I'm fine. Just... Saying hi to an old friend...."

I smiled, and picked him up, setting him down on my shoulder.

"C'mon guys. Let's go home."
