Only You

Chapter 30 - Is this it?

Jay's P.O.V
I'm an old man now, if you haven't guessed from that it's 70 years into the future and I am 88. Chloe and I stayed together, we got married, we had two kids, Patrick and Riley and we had an amazing life. We both applied to Juliard when we finished school and both got in, we studied there for 4 years and preformed on broadway for countless years after that. We moved back to Ireland when we were 54 and we both taught in the preforming arts college. Yes we fought and we had a few times where we would not talk for days but we've always been happy.
Chloe died two years ago, she got sick and never recovered, I don't like to get sad about it because I know she was happy when she died, she lived her dream, she married and has kids and a life with her first love, she made a relationship with her father, she was so happy.
It was hard when she passed, I felt like a part of me died, but my kids kept me going.
Right now Rebecca and Barry were around with their kids and my kids were here, it was Chloe's anniversary and we wanted to be together, we were sharing some of our favourite stories about Chloe.
I went upstairs to our room and I looked through our old photos and I spoke to her,

"Chloe, I miss you, I can't believe I ever hated you, I think maybe I knew I loved you all along but I was too afraid of the feelings. You made me the happiest man alive and you gave me two gorgeous children. You taught me to be happy no matter what. I love you Chloe"

A tear slipped from my eye as I lay down on her side of the bed and I drifted off into a sleep thinking of the girl I love.

I opened my eyes to a bright light, once my eyes adjusted I seen a girl dancing beautifully and I realised it was Chloe, but she was young again.
I walked forward and she noticed me
"Come on" she smiled waving me over
"Is this it?" I asked walking towards her
"Yeah, this is it" she smiled
"You're young again" I stayed the obvious
"So are you" she laughed placing her hand on my face
"I've missed you so much" I smiled
"I know, I listened to you talk to me every night" she smirked "oh Chloe I miss you, I love you Chloe, I wish I could get one more moment with you" she mocked
"Hey!" I laughed "stop it"
"Make me" she smirked
"I guess I'm gonna have to" I smirked pulling her in to kiss her,
When we pulled apart I rested my forehead on hers
"I've missed this" I sighed
"So have I" she smiled
"What about the kids?" I asked worried
"They're going to be okay" she reassured "now aren't you gonna dance with me?" She pulled away from me and held out her hand "or have you found another woman to dance with?" She teased
"No, only you" I smiled before twirling her.
I started to dance the dance we did for the showcase all those years ago and when we finished that, we just danced.
I was back with the love of my life and even though this means my life has ended I get to dance with her for eternity.
