Never Let me Go(Robert Downey jr Fanfiction)

Letters from Liza

Heart drowning in the pit of my stomach as the casket goes down into the ground. Lindsay hugged at my waist crying. She steps toward the hole looking down at the casket. She kissed the lone red rose in her hand and let it slip in her fingers. She wraps her arms around my waist once more sobbing. "I'm going to miss her daddy." she wept. I knelt down to her cupping my hands around her face. "Me too, angel." I whispered hugging her tight. I watched the undertakers shovel dirt on into the grave. I felt as if my life has died with her. My beautiful Liza gone forever. I welcome death now. It's my only reason to be with her again in peace.

My family along with Liza's were in the living room talking. I had to leave the cheerful gathering. I really wasn't the mood to talk. I sat down at the kitchen table hanging my head in sadness. My dad walks taking seat on the chair across from me. He let out a sigh running his fingers through his hair. "I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now. I wish I could say I understand but, it would be pointless." he said. I rolled my eyes looking away from him. "All I have to say is stay strong for your daughter. She needs you now more than ever. You can't live your life depressed all the time."

"You think I don't know that, Dad?!" I spat in frustration. "Son, I'm just saying. I want you to be happy and move on from this. I know you can find someone just as amazing as Liza." "NO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE LIZA! YOU HEAR ME NO ONE!" I got up from my chair walking over to the sink. "So you plan to be alone for the rest of your life?" asked my dad. "I'm not alone dad. I have my daughter. As far as dating and remarrying. It's out of the question. I will never stop loving Liza." I stormed out the back door and into the back yard. I wanted to scream. All I could do is cry.

Months past by like a blur. I always felt I wouldn't get over LIza's passing. As each day goes by it got easier. I still refuse to make myself available to other women. I made a vow to myself not to fall in love again. I talked with Lindsay about it and she didn't argue. She herself had been in a slum. Her beautiful smile disappeared. We would talk about Liza until our ears turned blue. I found it easier to keep her memory alive. It's like she never left.

Although, time passed by Lindsay grew stronger. Her smile came back which melted my heart. Her smile reminded me of her mother. Made me feel better that I still had a piece of her around. Lindsay and I finally went through Liza's things. The tears fell from me as I placed her dresses in the box. I felt my daughters arms around me. I held one of Liza's garments against me as I cried. "We're going to be fine, Dad. Just like you told me. Stay strong." sighed Lindsay. "I'm trying. It's just gets harder every day." I replied. I wiped the tears away placing the last garment in the box. I closed the flaps taping it shut.

*Lindsay*

While my dad took the boxes of my mother's things to the car. I checked the dresser drawers for any clothes left. I found a wooden box in one of the drawers. Must be her jewelery. I opened it to see a stack of envelopes inside. Each having either my father's name or mine. They held a decription on the back saying when we should opened it. My dad comes in standing next to me. "What's this?" he asked. "Letters." I replied sitting down on the bed. I handed him the two letters that was his. I had three of them. One for my eighteenth birthday, High School Graduation, and College Graduation. There is one letter that is for the both of us. My dad opened it and read it out loud:

Dear Robert and Lindsay,

Over the past few years while I was still on Earth. I have spent most of my time writing you both letters. Each letter you open on a certain occation. During those years, I knew my time was coming to end and I needed to leave you something special. They give you a glimps of hope that I am still around. Even when you can't see me. I love the two of you with all my heart. If you look up in the sky tonight. I shall be there looking down from above.

Lindsay, my little sugar cookie. Times are going to get harder. Body changes and physical changes. Just know it is a natural phase in a young ladies life. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask them. Your father is there and for the lady questions go to your grandmothers. My mom will be there for you like she was when I went through the changes. Don't be afraid to be who you are. Be loud. Be free. Don't surcome to temptation. If you know it's wrong. Say no. I love you my little angel. Be safe and stay beautiful.

Robert, my life long friend and wonderful husband. We have been through a lot growing up side by side. Years I wouldn't take back for anything. You've pulled me out of the slum I was in. Not to mention saving my life from emptiness and despair. You never let me go. Not even for a second. I love and appreciate all that you have done. You gave me a beautiful life. A wonderful child who loved me unconditonally. Any woman will be lucky to have you. But, you chose me. I will be waiting for you in the end. I would tell you to go and find love again. But, I know you too well. Your heart loves only once. Take care of our daughter to the best of your ability. I love you, Robert. Always and Forever.

Love, Liza Downey (Mother&Wife)
