forever - chapter five
They had a brilliant day together. It was like old times again, as if the whole day had been a dream. But they both knew they were running out of time. Kian took her to all the things she wanted to see. And to the things she didn't...
"Come on Essie!!! Come with me please??" She looked up at the huge rollercoaster that roared above her head. "NO Kian I am NOT going on that!! No way!!" He smiled at her. "Girlie, you're a ghost. I don't think you'd get hurt or anything..." He gave her his puppy eyed look.
"Oh you, okay! But promise you'll take me to the haunted castle afterwards!!" It was only after she had said it that she realised how funny it was. Kian meanwhile was cracked up into fits of laughter. "I promise. Do you want to check out if it's really haunted?" "Who knows, we might meet some new friends..."
At the end of the day they both sat down on the highest tower of the castle of the sleeping beauty to look at the fireworks. Kian held her close to him. He could hear her sighing. "This is so beautiful. I am so glad that I got this day..."
"Essie... I should say something now... but I can't find the right words. I wish I could stay here like this with you, but I can't." She only nodded as a sign that she understood him. "I want to give you something..." He took off his ring and pushed it in her hand.
"Keep this..." She knew what would follow. "I love you Kian. I always will." "I love you too. More than ya know." He saw she started to cry. "We'll be together sooner than you know. Believe me." He ruffled through her hair. "Time to go..."
He kissed her, long, deep and intense. Esther could feel how she was drifting off. She held onto Kian as tight as she could. She felt him disappearing...
"Essie wake up, please wake up I need you... don't go girl." She opened her eyes. Kian? No. She saw it was Bryan who was sitting beside her bed. "Bry?" He looked at her. "Essie!! Oh god you scared me!!" "What happened??"
He held her hand. "You were in an accident. Everyone had already given up on you." She had to blink a few times to get her head clear. It was only then she remembered her day out. Kian, Disneyland. It had all been a dream. She started to cry. "Shh, it's okay girl. I'll get a doctor for ya." Bryan left the room to search for a doctor.
Esther pulled herself up a bit. She looked at her hand. What was she holding? As she opened it she saw Kian’s ring. She placed a kiss on it. It was only then that she saw there was something engraved in it. Had it always been there?? She had some trouble reading it. It said: "I'll be loving you forever. You will leave me never..."
