There's Only One
One Heart's Wish
chapter
37:
He took the rope, swung back,
forward, and let go.
I
almost had a heart attack as he let the rope fly back up
toward the tree
and his body flew down towards the water.
He landed with a huge splash.
But he didn't come up right away.
My heart raced.
I didn't know if he was okay.
Did he drown? Was he okay?
I took the rope and swung, screaming as I was in the
air,
and dropped into the water.
I came up gasping, laughing.
It was suprisingly fun.
Then I remembered I hadn't seen Adam.
"Adam!" I called out, scared. "Adam where are
you?"
Suddenly he came up out of the water splashing me right in
the face.
He started to laugh uncontrolably.
"I'm gunna get you back!" I started chasing
him, splashing.
I never laughed so much in my life.
We both got tired and stopped before crawling onto the rocks
on the shore.
We walked towards our picnic blanket laughing and trying so
hard to breath correctly.
We were standing side by side and he looked at me.
I noticed at first, but didn't look back until I
realized
he wasn't going to look away.
I looked back at him.
His straight face turned into a smile.
"Scarlet." He said slowly, looking me straight in
the eyes.
His beautiful eyes sparkled.
"Yes.." I responded, almost in a whisper.
"My hearts wish was to find love. I needed someone to
help me get through all of those tough times. Just a friend
wouldn't help.
I knew it had to be more.
And I found that love."
He leaned towards me, still looking at me.
I looked down, not knowing what to say. But he knew I was
happy.
My face turned bright red, I could feel it.
He picked up my chin and we were only centimeters away.
"Scarlet Anderson" He began, "will you be my
girlfriend?"
My heart fluttered as butterflies took flight in my
stomach.
"Yes." I whispered.
His hands reached my waist, and he spun me around, lifting me
into the air.
It felt like slow motion. I never wanted this moment to
end.
But then, what came next, changed my mind.
We stood still, my arms around his shoulders, and his around
my waist.
He leaned in closer than before.
"I Love you."
He said before putting his soft pink lips against mine.
And the rest of the world disappeared once more.
chapter
36:
Today was the day.
Today I needed to look
perfect.
Today I actually wanted to put effort
into an outfit.
Today was my date with Adam.
I got up only 10 minutes before he said
he'd be at my house.
I put on the cutest, fastest outfit and
make up I could.
I tried to make my hair look
decent.
Then the doorbell rang.
"You look absolutely
beautiful." He said as I opened the door.
I look down, blushing.
"Let's go." He said,
grabbing my hand.
"Where are we going?" I asked
as he let me into the car.
"You'll see."
-------
"We're here."
The car stopped and we were in the
middle of no where.
"Wh-where are we?"
"My favorite place." He
smiled, opening my door for me guiding me out. "But put
this on."
He handed me a bandana, and placed it
towards my eyes.
I was blindfolded following the boy I
thought I loved through a place I had never seen
before.
"Now look."
He ripped the bandana from my eyes and
it took me a moment to take it in.
We were infront of a huge
lake.
There was a waterfall to the
right.
There were rocks around the
lake.
Some high enough to jump off
of.
There was a rope hanging from a
tree.
I looked down seeing a picnic infront of
me.
"Eat first, or fun first?" He
asked happily.
My face was still in shock and I
didn't know what to say.
"I- E- F- woah."
He laughed at my stuttering.
"Let's have some
fun."
He took my hand and pulled me toward the
rocks.
He led me to the tree where the rope was
hanging.
"Ladies first." He smiled
hanging me the rope.
"W-what?! What am I supposed to
do?"
"Well.. you hold on... and then you
jump!" He giggled.
I looked down seeing the 10 foot drop
into the water.
"Noooo way."
"Oh come on, baby. I'll show
you."
I was only going to make one last
chapter, but it was too long so I had to put it into 2
chapters. So keep reading it'll be up in a few minutes.

chapter
35:
"My friend over
there.." I pointed to him and everyone in the room
moved their eyes toward the single boy. "He helped me
through this."
His embarassed face gave me a faint, cute smile.
"He knows exactly what I've been through. I've
been depressed lately.
Thinking losing my brother was the end of the world. But this
is just another chapter of life.
This is my path.
This is what I'm supposed to go through before I find
happiness.
I lost my brother, but I truly didn't lose him.
I still have our memories and I know right now he's
looking down at me, proud of me right now.
And I know my friend, Adam, he's proud of me,
too.
This may be my first time realizing all of this, but I'm
even proud of myself.
I miss my brother. It's only human to miss someone
who's gone.
But I still love him, I still have him. And my life is just
continuing.
And mom, everything will be fine just like you
said.
We don't need to act like we're okay, because we
really are okay.
A new happiness is just starting."
I stopped, suprised at everything I had just said.
I didn't realize that those words actually came out of my
mouth.
But at the same time, I was completely proud of it.
The room was silent for a moment, but everyone clapped.
Everyone had a smile on their face, including my mom.
And I knew this smile wasn't acting, it was out of true
happiness.
I couldn't help but smile, too.
Then I looked at Adam who sat there, eyes interlocking with
mine,
and just from his look I knew how proud of me he truly
was.
Then he stood up and started walking over to me.
The clapping slowly stopped and my smile turned into
nerves.
Without a word he threw his arms around me and held me
tight.
Someone in the audience said "aw" and there was a
chuckle throughout the room.
But I ignored it.
"Go on a date with me." He whispered lightly into
my ear.
The rest of the room seemingly disappeared and I nodded my
head in approval.
He took my hand and walked with me back to my seat.
--------
"Bye, thanks for coming."
"I'm sorry for your loss."
"Bye, thank you."
"I'm sorry."
"Thank you for coming."
My parents constantly were saying goodbye to everyone as they
walked out the doors.
Everyone was saying sorry.
They made the mood depressing.
But, I still had a smile on my face.
Finally, everyone was gone.
My father walked over to the casket to close it until the
next wake tomorrow.
While he was gone, my mom spoke.
"I knew you would realize the truth." She smiled.
"We'll be fine. I know we will."
"I know mom, I know." I gave her a tight hug and
instead of tears of saddness,
we cried happily, knowing everything from now on would be
okay.
Hey guys! I'm sorry I havn't written in so
long.
I was so busy and by the time I wanted to keep writing I
forgot what I was going to do.
But I got a comment today that someone loved this story so I
decided to continue it.
There's only one more chapter after this, but I think it
came out as a pretty good story!
I'll try to come up with another idea soon.
But thank you all and I hope you enjoy this. :)

chapter
34:
"Hello Everyone." I
coughed out.
I cleared my throat again,
and finally decided to speak.
"Thanks for coming."
I started to read from a piece of loose leaf paper.
"Noah wasn't only my brother, but my best friend. I
remember when
we were younger, and one day-"
I stopped reading the words I tried to make sound sweet
and thoughtful.
I just wanted to say exactly what was on my mind,
not the paper.
I looked down at the paper I held in my hand.
I looked at the messy handwriting,
and the words that it posessed.
I swept my hand across it, smudging the pencil marks,
and crumpled it up.
"Noah and I never really got along-" I started.
"We faught about everything; the person who finished our
favorite drink first,
and the person who stole a piece of gum from our packs.
I mean, I guess that's what brothers and sisters
do." I laughed.
Everyone chuckled with me, and so did my parents.
"But, although we did fight every waking moment,
we were also just so close. Whenever I was upset, he was
always there for me.
He may have never shared his feelings with me, well maybe
that was because
he didn't have any." I joked. "But one night at
the hospital,
he actually told me what had happened to him, and at that
moment,
I knew he wanted to tell me, he trusted me. I loved my
brother,
as did everyone here. But, now I come to think of it,
I went through a state of depression when I lost him.
Of course I did, I lost my only sibling.
The person I grew up with."
I began to tear, but I wiped it from my eyes.
Smiling.
"But, this was his life story. He was born to watch over
me,
and my parents, and his beautiful girlfriend Emily."
I looked over at her, with tears running down her face.
But she smiled at me. And I smiled back.
"And I thought no one understood my pain of loosing my
brother.
Truth is, there are plenty of people who do. Some people went
through
pain all of their life, others may have gone through a quick
pain like this.
But I'm not the only one in the world who has lost
someone,
and there are people who have it worse than me.
There's no reason to let myself go into a depression,
because Noah, he's in a better place.
And everyday, I'll pray for him, and be glad I'm
alive,
to tell his story."
I was actually happy.
I felt content.
And everyone was smiling, and crying.
But, they were happy tears.
And I was crying, too.
"And there's one person,
I need to mention." I spoke.
chapter
33:
Adam started to walk towards
me,
he was looking at me so intently, with such meaning.
I smiled, moving a piece of hair behind my ear and looking
down, blushing.
He sat down in an empty seat next to me.
He gave me a sweet smile, and looked at the priest who
(I just realized) was speaking.
"Amen." Everyone spoke.
I looked around, lost.
"We will have family speak in about 30 minutes. For now,
relax." I heard the priest say.
A whole bunch of people got up and met up with others across
the room,
and those who were coming in late, too.
My parents got up to talk to some of Noah's friends, and
Emily
was kneeling where I was by the casket.
I felt a hand brush against mine.
Adam and I were practically alone.
We were still sitting in the front row, and no one was around
us.
"Hi." He smiled and broke the silence.
"Hi." I looked down.
"How are you feeling?" His body was turned towards
mine.
"I've been better." I sighed, making quick eye
contact with him.
It was quiet again.
I gained up the courage to speak.
"I'm sorry-" We spoke at the same time.
"You?" We said it together again.
We both laughed, and I noticed his cheeks turn a faint
red.
I smiled.
"You first." I said softly.
"I'm sorry for getting mad. You were right. I
don't understand what you're going through."
He sounded disappointed.
I shook my head.
"Adam, I was wrong. You do understand. I know everything
you've been through,
and ... well you know.. you tried to.. kil-.. I... I'm
sorry."
I looked down and a piece of hair fell infront of my
face.
He picked up my chin,
place the piece of hair gently to the side.
"Don't worry about it. I'm helping you through
this, like you helped me.
And that's all that matters, is if you're
happy." He smiled, looking at me
in the eyes.
We were so close together.
I looked into his eyes perfectly.
I felt so content, so happy, just looking at him,
and knowing he was back at me.
I felt a chill on my hand,
when I noticed his intertwining with mine.
I looked down at his hand as it grabbed mine,
and back up at him.
He was still looking at me, still smiling.
Suddenly there was a tapping sound coming from the
speakers.
"Sorry, didn't know if it was on." My mom
laughed tapping a microphone.
"Okay, we're going to start our speaches. I guess
I'll go first."
She stood in front of the room, grabbing
a piece of wrinkled paper,
and already teared before ready it.
Through both of my parents speaches,
Adam held my hand, and had his arm around me.
He comforted me as I started to cry from
some of the memories my parents mentioned.
He was amazing.
I was stuck in my own world again, when I heard my name was
called.
"Scarlet, your turn." My dad handed me the mic.
"I have to do one?" I whispered.
He nodded.
"B-but I didn't write anythin-"
"Do it." Adam looking at me smiling.
I looked at him, and confidently grabbed the mic from my
dad's hand.
I made my way up to the front of the room.
I cleared my throat,
and braught the microphone to my lips.
