Loss of life

Epilogue

I smiled down at Sammy, who had a bucket on his head, giggling like crazy.

"Be careful" I told Sammy.

Kids, I think. Kids will be kids.

Jackson laughs a deep laugh that sends chills through my whole soul. He walks from his spot fro the doorway over to me.

"Hey gorgeous" Jackson says leaning down and kissing me.

I kiss back and smile, a genuine smile. This I enjoy.

After we cleared up the whole thing with Jake and all, Jackson and I have been able to spend a lot more time together and we've become two souls perfect for each other.

And Mae and Ronnie have gotten closer too, but not to dating yet. I don't know if they will ever get that far but I know Mae is happy now, happier than ever.

Jackson sits down next to me and I admire the seen before my eyes.

Everyone. Mae and Ronnie are are in there own little bubble of felicity, smiling at god knows what. And Sammy, well, he is laughing with that darn bucket on his head and I don't need to see his smile to know he's wearing one underneath his new hat.

They don't have any problems to dawdle over, except each other. There all just there.

I smile internally and externally, inhaling the peace that I have come so far to get, well we all have.

I wonder if Sammy's gonna remember all this, once he's older. Heck, I wonder if Mae or Jackson or Ronnie will. I know I will. This will be with me, forever. It may not seem like a big moment to others but this... this is the best feeling I have ever experienced.

I smile and as I do so, I feel the familiar salty tear trail down my cheek.

"Hey, baby? What's wrong, why are your eyes raining?" he inquires.

A laugh gets caught in my throat an it comes out more of a cough than anything. I bring my hand up to my eyes in attempt to wipe the tears.

"Babe, this is the rain that comes before the rainbow. Ya know when it starts pouring really hard outside and it gets really dark?" I speak.

Jackson nods not sure where I'm getting at.

"But it doesn't stay dark, does it? No it doesn't. Soon the sun comes back out and it emits light brighter than ever. And all the rain egresses." I nod my head.

"Yeah, I know" Jackson says getting the point, he leans back against the chair and surveys the scene.

"Then if u look close enough, if your one of the lucky ones, you can see a glorious rainbow, in the distance. Or sometimes right in front of you" I say advertising everyone before our eyes.

Jackson smiles and turns to face me, peering into my eyes. He rest his elbows on his knees and places his face in his hands.

I mimic his exact moves and face him, staring straight on at those eyes, those eyes that just say 'I love you' every time you look at them.

Jackson extends his hands to my face and his skin brushes my cheek, causing me to shiver and smile. He holds my face in his palms and bites his lip just before bringing his lips to mine.

I respond by slinging a hand around his neck. Our lips move slowly and in rhythm, not missing a beat. Jackson trails his tongue along my bottom lip and I smile into the kiss, raising the same reaction from Jackson as well.

I pull away, but not before pecking another kiss on his lips.

Jackson pulls me on his lap and I rest my head on his chest as he wraps his arms around my torso securely.

A memory forms at the back of my mind and I smile ear to ear, remembering it.

On my sixteenth birthday, only a couple days before my passing, I blew out the candles on my cake like every child does at there birthday party. And I remember that wish very precisely.

I wished that I would find out what true love felt like.

I know your probably thinking, why? I had Jake? Yes I did, but I wanted to know if what I felt with Jake was true love.

And my wish came true. I found out what love is and just how much I have been missing.

Authors note

The end... I can't believe it!

It has been so much fun writing this whole story and I really enjoyed how much support I got through out the whole thing.

Your all truly amazing, just for acknowledging my books, when there are thousands of others to read.

Thank u!

And I do not know for sure if a sequel will be coming up, but it will be before February if I am going to make one, definitely.

I will probably be posting another story on here soon and it is called P.S I love you. If you want the description to it, here it is:

There she was, looking beautiful as ever. Her beauty practically radiated off of her... it took the air right from my lungs. I wonder if she realizes she is beautiful. Or does she need someone to tell her, like me. I doubt it though. She's her and I am me. Basically opposites.

Although, opposites attract.

Ok not the BEST description ever but I suck at making them. So if your into love stories or girlxgirl stories then u can check it out if u like.

So, thank u all so much for sticking through the book and not stopping after the first chapter... cuz trust me I sucked as a writer in the beginning lol. I think I improved maybe, kinda, sorta, a little bit :)

I hope u enjoyed and if u have any book suggestions for me don't hesitate to ask me

<3 I love u all
