YOU MUST HAVE READ THE STORY SECRETSAKA BROKEN HEART BEFORE YOU READ THIS STORY! THIS IS THE SEQUEL!

I'm back! Hehe. Never thought you'd see me again, eh? Well, I'm back! Yeah me! lol. A thousand appologies for how long it has taken me to get around to getting this sequel up and running. I've had a lot going on as of late. (Heck, I live a soap opera, I swear!)

I hope this story does as well as the one before it did. Okay, first things first. Huge thanks and major appreciation to DoubleHeartPenni and Kittykatgoil1899 for helping out with this chapter & ultimately the whole story. Much love and many thanks for the help! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

And now onto the disclaimer, the most dreaded part of every story.

Spot:

I headed down to the docks for the second-year anniversary of Audrey's death. A bouquet of red roses in my left hand, my new gold tipped cane in the other. The cane was a gift from my girlfriend, Penni. I never let it out of my sight.
I sat down on the docks, and stared at my reflection in the water.
"Hey, Audrey. Sorry I'm a bit late, but..." I began, but was cut off by a sweet, melodious voice.
"It's okay, Spot. I'm the one that's late. Two years, to be exact."
My jaw dropped open as I turned slowly to see a pretty, slender girl. She wore simple clothing, but even that made her look elegant. Her curly red coloured hair dangled free over her shoulders, her green eyes glistening in the slowly diminishing sunlight. And a beautiful smile was across her lips.
"What...How..." I stuttered.
"I should have come back to you, Spot, darling. But you must understand I was afraid. Afraid you didn't want me back. So I hid for two years. But I had to come back. I wanted to come back. I needed to come back. I need you, Spot." The gorgeous girl whispered.
"Audrey..it's impossible for you to be alive. You're dead. You drowned, remember?" I said, fear trickling into my voice.
"Spot, I didn't drown. I was knocked unconscious. When Whistler and Samuel found me, they took me to a hospital and I stayed there for a while. Until I regained consciousness. But then I was too scared to come back to you..." Audrey explained.
"No. You are dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. And never coming back! This isn't real. You aren't real." I tried to sound convicting, but all I really sounded was confused and scared. Audrey removed my Newsboys cap and ran one of her slender hands through my hair. "What is real?" she asked me, kissing my lips passionately. "Was that real?"
I stood dumbfounded as the feeling of her lips still lingered on my own. My thoughts began to slowly shift.Maybe she is real. Maybe I'm not dreaming. Maybe I can forget Penni and the pain and all of the lies...
NO! You can't forget! The other half of me screamed. The side that was trying to keep my grip on reality, that is...
But...what is reality? Was this reality?
"I have to go...Penni needs me..." I said quickly. I turned on my heel, dropped the bouquet of flowers at her feet, and ran back to the lodging house.
"Wait...Spot!" Audrey called after me. "I need to talk... to you." She sighed, sitting down on the docks. "I can wait. I can wait an eternity for your return." she whispered.
I didn't stop running until I was safely back in the lodging house. I ran up the stairs and practically broke Whistler's door down.
He was sitting on his bed with his current girlfriend, Lily, who was a showgirl down in Manhattan. "Whistler, We gotta talk..."

Whistler-

I sighed, but got up. Spot was unusually pale and his normally dark blue/green eyes were a pale blue.
"Whaddya need?" I asked, trying not to sound annoyed. "You look like you saw I ghost."
"I dunno what I saw, Wiss." Spot was beginning to shake all over.
Concern began to flood through me and I had him sit down on his bed. "Are you okay?"
"I...kiss...Audrey...beautiful...not dead..." Spot said, trying to get a complete thought out. But he was so shaken up he couldn't even form sentences.
"Slow down and try to tell me what happened." Whistler instructed. Lily ran over to Whistler's side.
"Is there anything I can do to help, bebey?" she asked. Whistler shook his head. "I think he needs to talk to Penni about this..."
