To Live Again

Chloe
has the perfect life or so everyone thinks.
She tried to leave her past behind, but it follows her like a dark shadow.
Drowning in guilt, she's dying to live, but sees no way out. So she tries to
fool herself and everyone else into believing she is fine.
But Jayson sees through the act that Chloe puts up for everyone else and he's
going to do everything in his power to help her to live again.
Can Chloe let go, or will that night forever ruin her future?
Turning towards me, she looks into my eyes and I
tell her, “One day, I’m going to marry you. You’re going to be a social worker
and I’m going to be an ER doctor. We’re going to have at least two or three
kids that are going to make us crazy, but we’re going to love them like there’s
nothing more important in life. I’m going to buy you a house on the water
because I know how much you love it and we are going to be happier than you
ever dreamed you could be. And of course, I’m going to fuck you every day, maybe
twice. Most likely twice because one of those times, I’m going to be making
love to you, not just fucking you. But, more importantly, I’m going to be
loving you. You will never be lonely again and I’ll love you until I take my
last breath.”
She smiles tearfully at me and says, “I’m going to
love that house on the water and those kids that have their daddy’s pouty look
when he doesn’t get his way. I’m going to cook for you every day even when I’m
working. If you’re working a late hospital shift, I’ll bring you some dinner so
you won’t be hungry. And, if your work interferes with the fucking/lovemaking
schedule, we’ll just have to make sure to find an empty room at the hospital.
But, most of all, I’ll be loving you. I’ll love you forever and if you were to go
before me, when I get there, I’ll find you and love you some more.”
I pull out my phone and click on my Spotify
playlist. When I find the song I’m looking for, I turn it on, pull her to her
feet, and wrap my arms around her. The song, “All of Me,” by John Legend plays
and my arms tighten around her. She lays her head on my shoulder and we dance
right there in our own little world. I sing softly in her ear the words from
the song that talk about all of me loving all of her.
Though the song clicks off, we still stand there
holding on to each other.
She looks at me and asks, “This is really
happening, isn’t it?”
I kiss her lightly and say, “It is.”
