This is an epilogue.
Luke's p.o.v
It's been 1 month, exactly one month since Belle's death. I haven't felt pain like this, ever. It's horrible. Why did she have to leave me? We were Great together. I loved her, even if I didn't tell her. I've cried every night since her death, I didn't know this pain existed. I haven't seen her family since the funeral, I think they moved away, I don't blame them, I don't want to be in the same town she was. Bec didn't even show her face at her funeral and I'm still unsure why. There were to many places that remind me of her. Like the park, on the chair where we met. I told her I liked her jumper. Maybe I should go there and sit there. I should do that every month. I feel like she would be there, sitting down, enjoying the breeze.
I try to make an effort to get up but I can't. The pain is slowing killing me. Belle wouldn't want this. She wouldn't of liked the way I am feeling, or the way I am looking. I get up and put some fresh clean clothes on. I've worn the same old shirt for about 3 weeks now. I grab my jacket that holds her letter in my pocket, I like to carry it with me. I have a piece of her with me every where I go.
It's pretty late at night but I like it like this. No one seems awake, only me. I would hanging out with my friends or Belle at the moment. My friends. I haven't seen them since the funeral as well. I wonder how Lizzy and Emma are taking it. I know they only knew each other for a little while but they might of been close.
On my way to the park bench I run into I don't want to, Ariana. "Luke, I need to talk to you" she says running over to me.
"What is it Ariana, I don't want to ta-" I'm cut of when her lips press against mine. I immediately pull away. "What the fuck are you doing?"
"I miss you Luke, so badly. Seeing you with, with that Belle girl makes me realise you made a huge mistake. I miss you. You can do so much better than Belle, for example me!" No! she did not just say that.
"Are you out of your fucking mind! Don't talk about Belle like that! Belle is gone! Forever and you have the fucking nerve to say you miss me! Your so pathetic!"
"L-luke I'm s-" I walk away before I can hear what she has to say!
I see the park bench and notice that there is a girl sitting on there. Is it Belle. Is she actually not gone. But I see the girl take a drag of her cigarette and then crush it under her foot. I think about walking straight past her but something pushes me to sit next to her. I sit down on the other side of her and take small glances of her. She's wearing a fucking nirvana shirt. Luckily it isn't a jumper, it's just a shirt. I notice that she is reading something. I look at it longer than usual trying to figure it out. "It's paper towns, by John Green" the girl speaks up. Seriously. Is this a fucking joke. I laugh slightly and look down at my lap. Something tells me to carry on the conversation so I do. "Is that your favourite book?" I ask her. She takes her head out of the book and replies.
"I don't know yet. Some people have told me I'm like Margo in it"
"Why? How are you like her?" I move a little closer to her so I can see her face better.
"Well, Margo obviously runs away and I have pretty much done the same as she has. This isn't my home town. I've just run away from home. " Wow
"Oh" is all I manage to say.
"So, what's your story?" She has to ask didn't she. I don't want to tell her but my lips start to talk before my mind catches up
"I had a girlfriend and she, well, passed away."
"How?"
"Suicide" I can feel my eyes start to water but I push the tears away.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that. I'm Jasmine, you know, like the fairytale Disney name"
"My name is Luke" Belle has a Disney name, like the fairytales.
"I'm glad to meet you Luke" she smiles and her eyes glow, they are a beautiful shade of green. We talk and talk for about and hour before she has to go and explore this town.
------------
3 days after I met Jasmine I have a feeling in my gut that I should go and walk around, so I do. I walk past k-Mart and it reminds me of Belle. I wonder who replaced her? I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear someone calling my name. Surprise, it's Jasmine. "Hey, your still here"
"Yeah, I think I'm going to stick around, I like this place" Jasmine seems really nice, I'm thankful that she doesn't remind me of Belle too much. "What are you doing this afternoon?" She asks me
"Nothing, why?"
"I just thought maybe you wanted to hang, show me a little more of the town" if I say yes, I feel like I'm forgetting about Belle but this isn't a date, I'm just showing her around town.
"Yeah sure" I reply, will Belle be mad? I miss Belle. "Do you wanna get some coffee first" it takes me a while to process what I just said.
"I would love to, I saw a small coffee shop around the corner we could go to" Jasmine and I head of to the coffee shop. Maybe Jasmine is going to help me take my mind of things. This may sound stupid but what if Belle was with me when I met her, and Belle was the one who told me to go? In a way, I hope it was her.

8 months after Belle's funeral.
It's exactly 8 months after Belle's funeral. I'm still sad and grieving but I have to admit, having Jasmine, Ash, Mikey, Cal, Lizzy and Emma here has really helped. Ashton told me that Jasmine likes me but I'm not ready to move on. We can be friends but nothing more at the moment. Since its 8 months since Belle's funeral we have all decided to go to the park and sit down and have lunch. We have lunch right near the park bench. We went and saw the council and asked if we could have Belle's name on the park bench, it took a lot of convincing but they said yes in the end. So now, Belle's name is there for me to remember her and her name is place in her favourite place. My life has definitely changed since Belle has died, I've actually met a few more people and its showed me who really does care for me. My band has now hit a lot of views on YouTube and rumor has it, Louis Tomlinson actually enjoys our songs. Who knows, we could become famous, that'd be cool.
It's 11:45pm and we have all gathered at the park bench. We were going to have a picnic but Ashton forgot to bring the food so we've decided to go to a cafe and have lunch there. We choose a small cafe, the parking lot has one car other than ours. We all get burgers, Jasmine gets a chicken burger because she doesn't eat red meat. Jasmine decided to stay in this town, I'm not sure where she is living but I think it may be at a friends place. She is one of those girls who make friends easily.
We finished Lunch and all head home. My friends have really helped me and I'm forever grateful for them, I hope they stick around.
A/n: the end! Sort of a happy ending, let me know what you thought of it and I am publishing another book very soon so stay tuned! Love you guys heaps and thankyou so much for voting and reading. Mwah!
P.s. 12th of January is my b'day (which is tomorrow in Aussie) I'm so happy because it's the same as Zayn in 1D :D
