Not Even Death
She sat in a tree in the middle of the dense forest. "What to do..." Was all that she solemly whispered as she jumped down. "Same thing every day." She thought as she winded through the trees. With-in minuites she found herself exactly where she expected to be. She casually jumped over the fence that enclosed her only true love's back yard.
He never thought he would hear her sweet voice again unless he was dreaming. All the same she opened the back door and made her way through his home jumping over the clutter that seemed everywhere. Slowly she crept into his room and leaned over his sleeping body. Smirking she brought her lips ever so close to his ear and yelled out, "Wake up you moron!"
That did it. He sat straight up in bed and wildly looked around but saw no other person there. Just then his alarm clock started to ring. In rage he threw it across his room. "Damned dreams again..." All the same he got up and was soon on his way to school with her following all the way. She loved waking him up that way.
One of his good friends walked up to him as he opened his locker. "Hey how you doing?" Barely looking up he muttered out that he was fine and to please leave him alone. They parted ways and he went to class. All day long she was close to him and he paided no attention to her. Last class he had a english test. She loved english and whispered all the right answers in his ear. He finished early and left the room with her still at his side. They stayed this way until he got home and this is when she whispered, "I love you and I always will." With that she left.
He suddenly started following her. Unaware of where he was being led or why. He didn't care, he just felt like he needed to be doing this. Winding back through the trees she made her way to the last place in her life that she was ever truely happy. She smiled until he begin to cry. She wrapped him in an embrace until he calmed himself enough to look at the engravings in the bark of the tree.
They read like, 'she will be remebered,' Oh he remebered but some days he wished that he didn't. Just the thought of that night when he was driving far too fast for this back road, and her laughter followed by ripping metal and crunching dirt and then silence until the sound of help in the distance made him feel so many things. Stupid for driving like that, angry because it was his fault, happy because this was the last place they spent time together, sad because she was gone.
He walked away with teary eyes and he thought he heard her laughing one more time before he felt a cool kiss on his cheek. Raising his hand to the spot he started to cry and knew this was all real. She had been with him since the day they fell in love and not even death would part them.
