Feel You Now (Oneshots)

I Know You Got Away (K)

An: angst/ sad oneshot

Emma stared at her reflection in the vanity mirror as she put on her earrings. She gasped when she saw an old friend staring back at her in the mirror.

"Ethan." She shakily asked.

"How are you here?" Emma asked.

She was shocked to see him. Tears threatening to fall as she took his appearance in. He was wearing her favorite navy blue tux he wore on special occasions.

"You look beautiful." Ethan said.

He gave her that smile that always caused her heart to skip a beat. Making her feel like the luckiest girl in the entire world.

"You know, I always thought I would be the one to see you walk down the aisle in a gorgeous white dress." Ethan said.

"Ethan I-" Emma tried to say.

"No its okay Emma. Im not here to open old wounds. I just wanted to see you one last time." Ethan said.

He placed a hand on her shoulder to show her that he meant it. Emma shivered as if a cold breeze hit her.

"I'm truely glad you moved on. I never wanted you to be alone. Do you love him?"

"I do." Emma said.

She paused for a moment before she asked.

"How are you here?"

"I needed to say goodbye to you. My mission here is done. I hope you have a happy life Emma. Promise me you'll tell me all about it when we see each other again." Ethan said.

"Ethan wait!" She turned around to look at him, but he was already gone.

She turned back to the mirror. The door slammed open and she didnt have time to wipe her tears away.

"Emma honey your dad- oh baby those better be tears of joy." Emma's mom said.

"I dont think I can do this." Emma whimpered.

"Yes you can. This is all you've ever wanted. Whats changed?" Her mom asked.

"I saw Ethan." Emma said.

"Honey its probably the nerves. Ethans been gone for 3 years, its time you move on. You were doing so well." Her mom rubbed her back.

"I thought I was ready, but maybe its a sign." Emma said.

Her mom sighed and grabbed her hands.

"Emma, Ethan would want you to move on. Its been 3 years... You deserve to be happy. He'll always have a special place in your heart. Afterall, he was your first love."

"It was suppose to be him." Emma whispered.

"He was a good man." Her mom said.
" but you can't be stuck in the past. He wouldve wanted you to live your life."

"Its funny. He said something along those lines." Emma chuckled.

Her mom grew more concerned as Emma spoke.

"He was even wearing my favorite tux. You know the one we buried him in." Emma said.

"Hey whats taking so long. We're about to begin." Michael Chamberlain said.

"Can you do this?" Sophia asked.

Emma felt a calming presence touch her shoulder, and a musky vanilla scent overpowering her senses.

"Yes, but can you give me a minute." Emma asked.

Her mom sent her a hesitant stare. Worried that her daughter would leave the groom at the alter.

"I promise Ill be quick. I just need to touch up my makeup." Emma reassured her.

Sophia and Michael looked at one another and then back at their daughter. Although they were concerned,they respected her wishes and waited for her outside.

Once the door was closed, she shut her eyes and breathed in the lingering vanilla cologne. She felt his presence wrap around her body one last time in an comforting embrace.

"I always knew it would be you. I love you and I always will, but I think Im finally ready." Emma said.

"Goodbye Ethan Dolan." She whispered.

She opened her eyes and couldn't feel the energy that was once in the room.
Ethan had finally found peace because she had finally let him go. Like he said, his mission was complete.

Flashback:

Ethan coughed and weezed as he layed on the cold ground. His time was running out.

"Please dont leave me. I cant do this alone." Emma begged him.

"It wasnt suppose to end like this." Emma said.

All he could do was lay there as they waited for the ambulance.

"Please don't leave me alone. We were suppose to get married and have kids. Then we were suppose to grow old and gain weight together. Id make fun of your beer belly and you'd complain about my cooking." Emma said trying to laugh at her own jokes.

"I promise you wont be alone." Ethan said.

Groaning and clutching his ribs as he spoke.  It hurt to talk, but he needed to know that she would be okay.

"I love you." Ethan said.

His vision became hazy and her voice was muffled. He slowly began slipping in and out of consciousness.

"Stay with me. Dont close your eyes Ethan! Dont you dare close your eyes!" Emma yelled.

"Please Ethan they're almost here." Emma cried out. "Just a little longer."

By the time the ambulance got there it was too late.

"Seems like a pretty bad accident." The police spoke into his radio. "The drunk driver swerved into opposite direction of traffic. He injured one and killed one person. We have two bodies including the perpetrador."

Emma couldn't listen to him speak. He couldn't be dead.

"Im all alone." She said.

Little did she know Ethan was right beside her. Keeping his promise that she would never be alone.

AN: kinda missed these sad oneshots. This was originally based off a raura scenario i was playing in my head and then combine an r5 song and bam we have a sad oneshot lol. Originally ross was going to laura and thomas wedding and saying how he always thought it would be him. They always had bad timing but this time there was no more time for them. Then i was like what if hes a ghost? And now we're here.
