The Guilt Consumes

Epilogue- FINALE

Heres the epilogue guys. Sorry if it's not how you wanted it to be but... here it is. The final chapter of TGC.

"Blythe?" I gasp. "Blythe open your eyes" I don't speak. It couldn't be... could it?

"Jackson?" I whisper. My eyes are still closed.

"Yes it's me baby, open your eyes"

"No" In a sudden I hear the vulnerability in my voice.

"Why?" He questions.

"Because I'm afraid that it's not real. That you're just an illusion and I'll get my hopes up of you coming back"

"I'm real baby. Open your eyes" I take a deep breath and open my eyes. The light rushing in, blinding me. I feel myself lying on something soft. I look around and see grass, blue clouds and the beating sun rays.

"Where... where am I?" I ask as he helps me up.

"Oh, you're just in the garden. The garden of peace"

"Really?" I ask looking around.

"Yup" it's then I realise who I'm talking to. I slowly turn around and see him standing there, handsome as ever.

"Wow, is it really you?" I ask him and he smiles. He opens his arms for me and I don't hesitate to run into them. I wrap my arms around him and inhale his familiar scent. "I've missed you" I whisper to his ear.

"I missed you too" we pull away but we're still in each other's arms.

"What am I doing here?" I ask him. His smile fades and so does mine. "What?"

"Blythe, you died" I gasp and step back.

"No I didn't" I say shaking my head.

"Yes, you did"

"How?" I whisper.

"You took your own life. You overdosed" I shake my head vigorously. "Why would you do that?"

"I-i don't know. I can't remember... anything" he steps forward and hugs me. "Can you tell me?" I ask him, tears falling.

"You overdosed and then went into a coma for three years. You weren't responding to anything. To changes. To medication. Tests. So... they pulled the plug. You were on life machine" I release a long breath.

"I'm... really dead?" He nods his head. He kisses my forehead and I close my eyes.

"I'll look after you. Don't worry. We have an adventure. Everyday here, is an adventure. And with you by my side, I'll finally be happy" I smile but then it fades.

"Dad, mum and Leith. I left them. Reagan and... and Liam" i whisper his name. "I left them all" I feel tears fall and I cry. He holds me as I cry on his shoulder.

"It's okay, you have me now"

"Oh Jackson. I'm sorry" tears begin to fall and I can't control them.

"Why?"

"You don't understand how much I wish it was me instead of you" he shakes his head and pushes my hair further back.

"Don't you ever say that. It was their fault. They pushed you into it. It was partly my fault too"

"No no no it wasn't. You're dead because of me"

"Because of them! Not you" he reassuringly tells me.

"Jack?"

"Hmm"

"Could you ever forgive me?" I ask him as tears pool out. He wipes my tears away but they carry on falling.
