Prolog
(AN/ I know that Winnie did the right thing when she did not drink the water but the ending made me so sad!!! And I am a complete total hopeless romantic. Soooooooooo.... Only here will you see that Winnie DID drink the water... But she's starting to regret that she ever did because Jesse still has not come back 20 years later and Winnie is starting to get scared... Also I do not own the book so I may get some things a little messed up! Please forgive me if I screw things up a ton! This is a mix between the book and the movie.)

I drank the water all those years ago when I was 16. I drank the water. And I waited... But Jesse Tuck has not come back for me. He promised me that he would come back for me. I have never stopped loving him! Never! But everyone I ever knew and loved are dead or have pushed me away.
I now know how Miles felt. Why he is so bitter. I was pushed away by my family who thought I had sold my soul. In a way I did, sell my soul I mean. I gave my heart and soul to Jesse and I have never gotten it back. My mother died a year after they found out that something was wrong with me... When I was 18 or so. I had always been rather small for my age. But my mother got suspicious you see, when I drank the water I had been 5"1 and I am still 5"1 and I had also I made the mistake of drinking the water before my monthlies started. So they never did. At first mother took me from doctor to doctor and no one knew what was wrong with me.
Of course there were other things like my hair stopped growing. It just... Stopped, Just like that. Eventually rumors started flying. Rumors of witchcraft and black magic. So my parents kicked me out. Well, Father did, Mother wanted me to stay she still thought that I just was a slow grower.
But I never had a chance to explain things to her. So here I am, alone and waiting for my first love, a man I met when I was ten years old. I'm 36 years old and look exactly like I did when I was 16.
My only hope is that Jesse will come back someday and we will be together again. In the mean time I live a cruel existence. Full of lonely nights and days of hiding and trying to make my way through this world. I live in the Tuck's old cabin. I went back there after my parents kicked me out and that is where I have been since then.
Let me tell you something about being immortal. You can't die but it does NOT keep you from getting hurt. I still get hurt but I never die. I will live if I am deprived of food for days but I WILL feel very sick and weak. But I won't die, I'll never die.
Tuck once said to me, " Never be afraid of death, but rather the unlived life." Well, I am not afraid of death but of life. I am afraid that I will be alone for the rest of time that I will never have friends again, never have a family. Never be part of a family ever.
As for the Tuck's well... I don't know if I shall ever see them again. Ever. I suppose that we could live till the world ended and never meet again. We may not be able to die but that does not mean we will meet again.
Some people think that living forever would be a gift anyone would want. But its not. They have no idea. No idea at all.
