My Perfect Year

The End

He died. That was the day my year truly ended. It was a sunny morning and of course Kylie was their. I ran into the room crying and I screamed at her and made her leave. The doctors rushed in but I saw nothing but him. They screamed and yelled at me. Told me to get out but I shouted at them and held him not wanting to believe he was gone. The nurses ran in and grabbed me, I tried to fight them because I didn't want to let go.... I promised him I'd never let go, and I don't break my promises.

The funeral began the next morning and it started out the same as all other funerals. Everyone saying how good he was and how much he will be missed. They let Kylie talk and of course she put on a big act saying how much she had truly loved him. The whole time I didn't believe a word she said.

Then my mother was called up to speak and I was so confused. She looked at me and automatically began sobbing. Then she dried her tears and began to speak. "James was a wonderful young man. He was always filled with joy and love and he truly loved MY daughter and no one else." At this the crowd gasped. And I looked at her puzzled. She began again "Your all wondering how I know this. Well you see before James died he gave my daughter a box and told her to open it when he passed. She doesn't know what's in that box but I do. You see he also left a note in the box and with me. Now I will leave the note he left me to read." We were all shocked but especially me. She read the note "Dear the ones who love me enough to be here at my funeral and of course my Missy,
You all see me as gone but really I'll always be their with you. To tease you, torture you, annoy you, and to love you. Especially you Missy. I'm sure you have the box with you and after your mom is done reading this I want you to open it. I put something very special in there for you. Now I'm also sure your wondering why I did what I did. Why I basically played you and made you live my last days here without you. Well baby girl I did that on purpose. I did this to show that life won't always be fair, life isn't fair. It takes the people and the ones we love most away from us. I also did these so that I knew you could live without me. Baby you did it, and I need you to keep doing it for the rest of your life. I love you.
Love,
James"

Everyone was in tears. The funeral ended and I opened the box as they took his coffin across the street to the graveyard and set him in the ground. I waited until everyone was gone and I was all alone, across the street from the one I love. I opened the box and their was a note. It read "My Dear Missy, I don't want you to ever go a day without thinking about our happy times together. The good times, the ones we are blessed with. Now open this and know I loved you and always will love you from here until the end of time. Love,
James"

After I set the note aside I see a smaller box. I carefully pick it up and open it. Its a ring. The band is silver with a small diamond in the middle. On the inside of it is the date we began dating~forever. I slip it onto my finger and put the note back in the box and close it. I slowly get up and begin walking then I break into a run heading straight for the graveyard. I forget to look before I cross and a truck hits me. Its a hit and run. Somehow I'm still alive and I crawl to his grave as the blood pours out of my head and arm. I manage to get to his grave and I lie down.

The pain begins to subside and my life flashes before my eyes. It goes black and then I see him. I see James reaching out towards me. He grabs my hand and I take it as he leads me away. I look back and see my body laying on his grave. This is when I know that this is the end.
