Chapter 33 (The Final
Chapter)
January 7th 2014
"Do you take Nicole to be your lawfull wedded
wife?"
"I do." Michael says squezzing my hand a little
tighter.
"And do you take Michael to be your lafully wedded
husband?"
"I do." i say with a smile from ear to ear.
"You may kiss the bride"
Michael pulled me closer with one hand on my neck and one on my
waist...And right there my heart stopped. I closed my eyes and
left our lips meet.
And from there our forever started.
-4 years later-
"Mike help me with this box!" I yell from the bedroom.
"Shhh, its okay.." i whisper into Michaels ear.
"Haha so you think you can have Michael on your hip and put
this box away?" he says grabbing the box out of my arm. I
smile, looking into baby Michaels eyes. They were the deep blue
that his father suported, i kissed the top of his head and sat on
the rocking chair next to the crib.
"Can you believe it?" "I know." i say as i
look up into Mikes eyes. "We did it." kiss both Michael
and I on our head. He took Michael and laied him in his
arms.
I sat there watching him, he held our son in
his arms.. I couldnt even beileve it at age 24 i sat there and
watching my husband hold our first child. I had waited for this
for 10 years.. my life really start with the love of my life.. i
married my highschool sweet-heart.
Things were perfect, Michael had loving parents and grandparents,
i married the love of my life, i furfilled my dream of becoming
an art teacher, and what was better than having my husband teach
in the same school as me as an English teacher. Life couldnt have
been better.
I grew old with Michael. We watched our 3 kids, Michael Robert
the second, go off into college before we knew it Savannah was in
her senior year. And Brennan our youngest was in his freshamn
year of high school. Before we knew it, our kids were married and
had familes of their own...
I fell even more in love with Michael, not knowning it was even
possible. I spent every waking minute with him.
It was crazy to think i met my soul mate in 8th grade..
Now this story doesnt have a happily ever after cause love isnt
ever ending. We spent our last brethes together.
We were burried in the cementary next to the lake house...and the
sounds of the lake waves carried us off.

Chapter 32
I couldnt believe what had just happend...one moment he had me
beliving that he was dead, and now, im engaged to the guy! I was
happy to see he was okay, well from the looks of it he did.
"I got us a hotel room for the night." he whispered in
my ear. After everyone left we took my car to a local Hilton. We
finally were in our room around 1am... Michael went to sit down
and i noticed something different about him.. "Michael,
youre okay, right?" "Nicole, remember when you told me
no matter what? Forever?:" "Yeah, ofcorse!" He
lifted up his right pant leg to reveal a prosthetic leg from the
knee down. My mouth dropped open. "Oh my gosh." i stand
there in complete shock. "Baby, im still the same
person-" I interrupt him by kissing him. "It doesnt
change anything" I smile as i pull away. A huge smile filled
his face. I missed that smile more than anything. And to hear his
voice again was so amazing. "You promise you dont
care?" he asks holding my hand. "Michael i could care
less. Your amazing to me, with or withouth the prosthetic leg. It
doesnt change a thing. Michael i love you for you are..and it
shows just how brave my marine is" i say smiling. "My
god did i miss you." he says looking straight into my eyes.
"God did i miss thoes eyes." I say under my breath. I
couldnt even begen to think what i would have done without him,
if i really did lose him.
"Can you believe it?" he asks laying back.
"Believe what?" "Nicole its happening, what
we've wanted to do since freshman year. Im marrying
you." I smile at him. I couldnt wait to actually start a
life with him. It was what i had been dreaming of forever it
seemed like. "Babe, this really is the start to our
forever." i say grabbing his hand and turning to face him.
"I cant wait..." he says smiling. "Well we dont
have to much longer."
After we talked for a while we kissed a few long awaited
kisses..it was a perfect night, i had been waiting to be with him
which felt like a lifetime.
I woke up around noon. I shifted in his big arms to kiss his
cheeck. His eyes opened just a little, and then he grinned.
"Goodmorning beautiful" he said rolling on top of me
and kissing me. "Haha, good morning big guy" i say
giggling. "Im crushing you, arent i?" "Not
really.." i say behind a little lie smiling. "Babe your
like 100 pounds, im twice your weight."
We got ready and spent the whole day with eachother.
Just how the rest of our days would be spent; together.
Our forever really did start.

Chapter 31
I held the dog tags in my hand so tight...too tight. I didnt even
believe it...he was gone. I didnt want to go on without him. I
just wished i could have herd his voice one last time..I missed
the way his scruff rubbed up against my cheeck when he held me in
his arms. I missed the way my head laied on his chest, and i
could count his heart beats when i hugged him. I missed the way a
kiss felt. I missed the way id run up and just jump on him. There
would be none of that anymore, nothing.
My heart was broken. Our promises; broken. I wouldnt walk down
the isle to his hands to recvice his last name. I would never
have a happy family with him... I wanted to know if he was in
pain the entire month he as missing. He was sopsed to be back
Next July. But he wasnt coming back, ever. I couldnt even
breathe. I was screaming on the inside.
Heven gained another angel...my angel. Michael was my gaurdian
angel now... i knew that he'd watch over me..i wish i could
just hear him say he loved me one more time. There was another
knock at my dorm. I knew Tyler had must just found out... i
finally got up...i walked to the door.
"Hi"
My heart stopped i ran into the arms that i missed being around
me for the past year, and i kissed the lips i had longing for.
"Oh my god!!" I say with my legs wrapped around his
waist and my hands on his neck. I looked around the corner to see
his family and mine, and Alex. "I've missed you so much.
I love you, im not leaving again. Promise." "Please
dont." i say kissing him again. Next thing i knew, he took
my hand and bent to one knee.
"Nicole, will you marry me?" he pulls out a
ring.
"Yes!" he puts in the ring onto my left ring
finger.
He kept his promise. And i got my baby back, finally.
last chapter will probably be out tonight or tomorrow.

Chapter 30
Tyler left around 9. I walked to my closent and pulled a pink box
down from the top shelf. I open the lock on the box. I hadnt
opened the box since my senior year. I first pulled out a orange
envalope. I found some of my favorite pictures of michael and i.
The frist 4 were our homecomings through out all of high school.
But the one that really made me shed a tear was a picture he must
of added to my box. It was a picture of the first day up at the
lake house. We looked so happy, i turned the picture around,
"I love you baby, forever and always. 8.10.12" my eyes
began to water. I pulled out all of the notes he had ever given
me. I counted 12. Michael wasnt much of a note kind of guy, but
when he gave them to me i knew they were spechial. I read one at
least 9 times each. I came across a box of all the tickets to the
dances and events we had been to. 16 dance tickets. 6 concert
tickets. 3 plane tickets; Miami, Phoenix Arizona, and New York. I
put the box back up on my shelf. But when i went to put it back
there was something taped to the bottom of it. It was USB drive..
i took it off and plugged it into my laptop. It was the most
beautfiul thing i had ever seen. "Hi baby, i know i couldnt
be there with you for our five years..and im so sorry. Im
probably missing you right now. So heres a little something i put
together for you. I love you babe." He had put together a
bunch of pictures and videos of us..it was the best gift i had
ever gotten.
After it was over i looked at my hand, the promise he had given
me still there on my right hand.
"I miss you, come home soon. Please be okay baby. I love
you" i said looking at our prom picture.
There was a knock on the door, i had no idea who could be here at
11 o'clock. I opened the door to a complete stanger...
"Uh, can i help you?" I ask a tall man with a buzzed
head with a few scars on his face. He was a good looking guy, but
i had never seen him a day in my life beofre. "Are you
Nicole?" "Yea? Who are you?" "My name is
Alex..Michael wanted me to give these to you..." He handed
me two dog tags... "No..." i whisper under my breath.
"Im so sorry..." "No...not...why?" "im
so sorry, he really loved you miss." I closed the door and
ran to my bed... i had never felt so much pain in my life. I had
no idea this kind of pain exsisted... i couldnt feel my heart
beat, and the tears seemed never ending.

Chapter 29
"Tyler...is it only you that came?" I ask pulling away
from him. "Yeah, i just know that you're taking this
just as hard as i am.. and i know you'd be here for me...and
i want you to know that im here for you too." "Thank
you." i say smiling up at him. I remeber when Tyler was
shorter than me, and now when i look at him I see someone so much
more mature then when i first them him. Tyler looked alot like
Michael the only difference was the face was more sqaure than
Mike's, and Tyler was atleast 7 inches shorter than Michael.
Tyler was 5'9 Michael was 6'4. "Ty, do you think
that he's still out there?" "Michaels a fighter, i
know he'll do whatever he can to come back home."
"I just hope hes okay..and if he does come home he comes
home in one peice." I pull my desk chair out for Tyler to
sit on, as i walk to my bed and sit. I look over at the picture
on my nightstand. "Is that your senior Homecoming?" He
asks. "Yeah, you and Anna are in it!" I say handing him
the picture. "Oh gosh, i remeber this! That was such a great
night! I cant wait to go this year" "Are you taking
Anna?" "Yeah! I really like her...she means the world
to me." "Good, im happy for you you too!"
"Itll be a year next Thusday," he says handing me
picture, "I cant belive its been that long." He says
smiling. "It goes by fast...it'll be 5 years in 4
weeks." I say looking at my lock screen on my phone. I
couldnt believe he'd been gone for almost a year already. And
now the news of him missing, makes me question my future. There
will be no perfect wedding that we had been planning since our
freshamn year. Or the 3 beautiful children we'd always
wanted. There would be nothing except the pain i'd have to
live with until my last breath. "Nicole, i know he's
thinking about you right now. You're his entire world. I
remeber when he was in his sophmore year and he told Nic about
how he couldnt even go a day without talking to you," he
stopped and began to giggle, "she said that you two would be
together until you die. And i know Michael wouldnt let anything
sand in his way of getting back to his future wife."
"Ty, i love you. Thank you" i say wipping a small tear
from my cheeck. He came over and put his arm around me.
"It'll be okay. He'll be home soon."
I'll probably type another tonight
xxooxx

Chapter 28
"Are you sure you dont want me to stay?" Troy asked
looking at me worried. "Yes, im just..Troy im scared."
i said walking over to my bed, and sitting down on the big comfy
matress. "Nic, he's tough. Hes gunna come back to you! I
know Michael too well, he wont just give up, espchially when hes
got something to come home to...and that something
is you." "Troy i wont be able
to..fu-function" i stutter. "He is my everything, he is
the reason i am here...i want him to be proud of me for being
strong and going through with my dream..he promised." i say
holding out my right hand to reveal the promse he placed on my
finger...the ring. "Oh Nicole," he said lifting me up
and pulling me into his arms. "He'll keep that promise.
What did he promise you when you two were 14...?" "He
promised forever," "Forever isnt over yet." he
wiped a tear strolling down my face. "I just want him. Now,
and for the rest of my life." I rested my head on his chest
the way i used to, to Michael. I missed the way my head was right
at his heart, i missed the way i would lay on him at night and
just talk for hours and hours. I missed his kisses, and his hugs,
and our movie nights. But most of all..i missed..him.
When Troy left i locked the door and walked to my laptop. I
opened my favorite playlist i made on my iTunes account. From
there i went to Word, and just sat there and stared at the blank
whiteness..for hours..and hours.
2 A.M. rolled around, i couldnt cry any longer, i picked up my
phone and dialed a number i had been dialing for a long long
time..."Hi, this is Michael, im sorry i couldnt answer your
call. Leave a message." At the sound of the voice the tears
were back.. "Hi baby...i knew you caouldnt of answered.. i
think im going crazy..because i dont know if your okay, or where
your at.. or if you still breathing... I miss you.
Please....pl-" the phone call ended. I grabbed my coat and
wondered outside to take a walk. i waked to the campus park, i
sat on the nearest bench.. I called my mom.
"Hi honey! Oh Nic i mis-" "Mom...hes gone"
"What do you mean," "Missing." from there i
cried for two hours on the phone with my mom, she told me about
how she had wedding plans for us, it was going to my birthday
surprise from her and Michael.. he planned to get married at the
place i said i wanted to when i was just 16.. I finally made my
way back to my dorm and tried to sleep.
I woke up at 1 the next day... i missed my classes, 4 of them. i
didnt make it to the rest of them all day. I watched tv for a
while not even bothing to check my phone... I left it where it
was all day. I found myself eating Michaels favorite foods, which
was pretty much everything in the house at the time...next thing
i herd was the sound of someone knocking at my door. I walked
over and opened it with no hesitation. "Nicole," I
hadnt herd a voice like this in a while. I moved in for a hug, a
long awaited one..."Tyler.." Michaels brother held me
in his arms and just cried.
new chapter soon.
