I sat down under my favorite oak tree thinking of everything that had brought me to this day. Why had I moved here in the first place? Was it my best friend Heather that got me to come down here because we couldn't stand being more than a mile away from each other? I mean we grew up together and were like sisters. But that wasn't it. Or maybe I enjoyed being on the ocean instead of Lake Michagane. No, that wasn't it either. Or was it, the one who I had fallen in love with at first site but fought with him anyway because he was such a jerk. Yeah, that was it. He was the reason I moved to Florida in the first place.
I thought about all of this as I sat in the shade from the tree. Looking at my neighbors little kids playing in the yard next to mine. I began to think of the first day I met him. Heather had brought him over to my place to meet me.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sara!" Heather yelled as she and AJ walked into the apartment. She never knocked on the door. "Sara you home?" I walked out of my room to see her with a guy I had never seen before.
"Hi." I said as I walked in the room.
"Hi. This is AJ. AJ this is Sara." Heather said.
"Hi it's nice to meet you." I said reaching out my hand to shake his.
As usual Heather was making herself at home getting a soda and then sitting down to watch tv.
"Heather help yourself to a soda." I joked.
"Don't mind if I do." she replied.
The three of us ended up spending the whole day together talking about what ever came to mind. I found out that AJ and Heather weren't a couple which made me happy.
~*~*~*~*~*~
I smiled thinking of that moment. That was the first time in a long time that I smiled. Things didn't stay the same. Of course AJ and I became a couple but not until three weeks after we met. Things were going great. Until about three months after we started dating.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Can't we just go one day with out fighting for once?" AJ asked as calm as he could.
"Yeah it would be nice but you're making it so damn hard!" I yelled.
"Me! How am I making it hard when you come running though the door yelling at me?"
"I did that once! That was because I though you cheeted on me!"
"I didn't cheet on you! I don't understand why you don't believe me!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
The clouds passed over me and the sun finally came out. I didn't want to be alone. Everyone was at the funeral. I just couldn't go. At least not yet. I didn't think I had the strength to gho. I continued watching the two little boys pound on each other. Their
mother had gone inside for just a minute. after she was gone, they started hitting each other. Then I began to think of only a few days ago. The last time I saw him.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Maybe it's for the best." I said as we drove down the highway.
"Yeah. I mean, we aren't officioly breaking up. Just seeing other people." said AJ with a little bit of unsertainty.
We drove along down the road in silence. I started to space. What we were doing didn't seem right. But all we did was fight. Then I heard AJ yell,
"Look out!"
A car had skidded into another car right in front of us. I had no time to stop and we joined the other two cars crashing into the middle of the two.
~*~*~*~*~*~
That was the last time I saw him. There were so many things left open. I just wish there was something I could do to let him know that I love him. I got up and started to walk towards the cemetary. It was now or never. When I got there I saw everyone standing
arouns the casket in the traditional black, crying for there loss of there friend or family member. The BSB were ther as well.
I stood next to AJ looking at myself in the casket. I looked so peicefull. You'd think that I was only sleeping. You see I was the one who didn't make it in the accedent. AJ got away with only a few scratches. He didn't know I was there. No one did. At least I didn't think so. I was aloud to come back to say my last goodbyes. But no one could see me.
"I love you." I whispered in his ear.
More tears streamed down his face as he whispered,
"I love you too."
I went to stand in front of him. I put my hand on his cheek even though I could go right through it.
"I'll always be with you." I said with tears welling in my eyes.
He smiled. "Until we meet again."
Brian heard him. "Who are you talking to?" he asked.
"No one." he answered, and smiled. "Just saying my last goodbye."
