Memories

I sat up immediately not saying but also not thinking straight.

Mr's. Donovan:"Hello Isabella, I know it has been a while since I have contacted you but this is urgent. I need you to come down to my home, I have found something that you really need to read. I think Isaac would want you to have it. Please reply to me ASAP soon I know you have gotten this."

Tears start streaming down my cheeks and I don't bother to brush them away.  What could they have possibly found? The thought of me walking into a home that my true love had once lived in is going to kill me but I have to go.  I don't have a choice really because I will get hurt either way.

"Bella are you okay? " Cyn said bringing me back to reality.

"Isaac's mom just texted me." I said handing her my phone.

"Izzy you have to go! This is so important!" Cynthia says.

"Yeah Izzy, please go." Mayah said.

"Can I borrow your car? " I asked.

"Yes, now go! " Cynthia said.

I nodded and wiped tears away. I grabbed my phone and literally ran out of the house and to Cynthia's car.

I hopped in and put my seatbelt on. I put the keys into the ignition and let out a scream. I just screamed. The pain I'd been feeling right now was infinite. I started to drive, my tears half blinding me but just enough to where I could see.

Then I made it. The house I'd been to way too many times to count. The house where the love of my life lived. Where he grew up.

I got out of the car my legs trembled with every step I took and as I got up to the porch I took about 2 minutes to actually knock.

I heard footsteps coming towards the door and I shook.

"Hello Isabella, come in please." Mr. Donovan says.

"Thank you, nice to see you again" I smiled.

"same to you" he smiled and gave me a hug.

"Oh my Isabella, you still look gorgeous as you always did" Mrs. Donovan says.

She hugs me tightly and wipes off tears I hadn't noticed came out.

She grabs my hand.

"Come along dear." she smiled and lead me to Isaac's room.

As we walked in tears streamed down rapidly. I had forgotten his scent. Literally.

"Take a seat on his bed." Mrs. Donovan says.

I do so and she hands me this book.

"thank you "I tell her.

"I will give you some space" she smiled.

I look at the cover.

"Dedicated to the Love of my life: Isabella (p.s I love you!)"

I just cried. Literally I didn't actually open it until 3 minutes later.

As I did open it all I saw was pictures of us. It had the dates of when we toke them, where we were, and some of the things we did. When I got the the last page every last bit I had inside me had died. Because that page had so much meaning to it. Why? Because it was a picture of our very first date. And he had written exactly what I had said and what he responded.

Note on picture: "Isabella:Why are you taking a picture?
Isaac:Because one day it will mean everything to us. "

He was right, because it does mean everything to us. Well, to me. It means everything to me.

As I was wiping tears the notebook fell off my lap. But something fell with it.

A letter.

"Dear Isabella,
       I hope by the time you read this you will have seen what I have put together. Now this is what I call Memories Bella. Actually, the best memories. You always asked me why I took pictures when we were on dates and do you remember what I told you?  'These pictures will mean everything to us one day' and I was right wasn't I?  You will also notice this is your 3 year anniversary gift. (I remembered this time I should get an award!) I want you to know that I love you endlessly, infinitely. I honestly don't think anyone has loved anyone else as much as I love you. Isabella you are my everything, and I am not afraid to scream it too the world because I am not and never will be afraid of letting the world no that I Isaac Donovan has the most fantastic girlfriend ever! I bet your gift won't top mine ;) ! I love you so much and I'm so excited for our future together! We literally rule this world. Remember that poem you wrote me?  'I love you, you love me, true love will set us free' I remember how you got the beginning from Barney. God I love you! That poem will be in my coffin when I die. But I won't die, we'll grow old together just like you always said we would. I am deeply in love with you Isabella Watson and I don't think anything will tear us apart
                                           Love,
                                                Isaac "

Everything inside me collapsed and I lie on the ground with tear streaming down my cheeks. We were supposed to grow old together. But he was right. The pictures did mean everything now. They did. And I need to go back home and cry. Mrs. Donovan came in and gasped loudly.

"Are you okay love? " she asked. I sat up.

"Yes. " I nodded.

"here take this, in his will he said he wanted you to have this" she said handing me a shirt.

It was black with a familiar logo on it "Nirvana "

"thank you I said standing up politely taking the folded shirt from her hands.

"Would you like to stay for dinner? " She asked.

"Maybe some other time I have to get the car I came in back to my friend  but thank you. " I said wiping a tear away.

She hugged me tightly and I gathered everything she had gave me and walked back to Cynthia's car.

The drive back to Cynthia's was silent except from the sobs that escaped me. When I got back I told them about everything and Mayah took me back home.

As I walked inside my home it felt empty and lonely so I walked into my room. I put on pajama shorts and Isaac's shirt. I lie down on my bed under the covers crying harder than ever have.

He was right those were our best memories. Although we never had any bad ones.

"I miss you Isaac "I cried.

It was true. I missed him so much. Probably more than anyone has ever missed someone before.

I soon fell asleep in the shirt of the boy who passed away.
