Epilogue
~ A FEW WEEKS LATER ~
“Are
you sure you have to go?” Nick questioned as he held Jet
tightly in her arms
“We all
have things we need to do Nick, and this is mine” she
replied quietly as she closed her dark lined eyes
“Will you
ever be back?” he inquired as they parted from the embrace
“Maybe,
one day” she whispered as the wind blew softly against them
“If I
begged you not to go, would you stay?”
“I need
to go Nick, I have to do this”
“But
England?”
“I can
start new. Please don’t make this harder Nick, I don’t
want to walk away from you or from this, but I have to”
“I’ll
never stop loving you Jet”
“You’ll
find someone else, you’re like a shark rugged and true.
Promise me one thing Nick”
“Anything”
“You’ll
always be true to yourself, you’ll never forget who you are
inside and that no matter what happens stay you”
“I
promise” he whispered as she leant up to kiss his lips
softly
His hand fell
beside him as she backed away from him.
“Goodbye”
she mouthed as tears streamed down her face, and in an instant
she disappeared into the terminal.
Nick stood
there for what seemed like decades, starring blankly at the glass
doors, hoping somehow that she would come running back out of
them, saying that she’d made a mistake and that she wasn’t
going anywhere. That never happened.
~ YEARS LATER
~
Nick fell onto
the comfort of his double bed, gently remembering that day as
though it were yesterday. He’d turned 21 only days ago, but
still longed for the past. He shut his eyes to remember the soft
face of the girl he’d loved. The girl he’d never
imagined falling in love with, they were so different, yet
through it all they built a love that surpassed ever object in
their way. Though it did meet goodbye in the end, deep down in
his heart Nick knew that he’d never said goodbye to her,
because she still did and would always hold a special place in
his heart. He smiled to himself remembering everything it was
that he loved about her.
“Opposite
attract” he laughed as he drifted into a peaceful sleep.
The End
Wow, a second short story finished, woho
for me, it's been a long road, but I did it. Thanks to the
constant support from the people who read and loved this story,
it's been a challange in places to write, but with your
commitment, I figured I better be pumping some in as well.... To
everyone searching for something, try looking in the Opposite
direction, cause sometimes, Opposites really do attract.
