Hello people on Fan Fiction, this is my first story I am uploading and it is a work in progress. I am still working on this story itself but I have a clear ending in mind that I want to do. This will be a minimum 4 chapter story also. However, anything is possible and I might very well change the ending to it and add a few more chapters to it. I promise to "close my eyes and keep my mind wide open." If the story that I come out with is completely different then my original idea I will make a note of it and tell you guys if you want to know. Anyways here you go, please give me some feedback because I write as a hobby and I want to know how I can improve for next time. Thanks and enjoy.
I own none of these characters or anything I write about in this story.
Bridge to Terabithia 2: The Return of Leslie Burke.
My name is Jess Aarons. I am 17 years old and I'm a senior in High School. Every day I live my life mourning on the loss of my friend Leslie Burke. She was my best friend and my only friend that I ever had in my whole life. It's my fault that she died when I was a kid and no matter what I blame myself for her death. My dad told me that it wasn't my fault that she died, but it really was my fault. I loved Ms. Edmunds and I didn't want Leslie to be there with us at the Museum. Now, I'd do anything if I could have brought her with us. Anyways, my life after her death just got bad because I couldn't make any friends no matter how hard I tried. The only real friend I kind of had was Janice Avery. I didn't like her as much as she liked me as a friend but I didn't want to break her heart. I tried to bury myself into school but that didn't work out for me. I got straight A's in every class no matter what I was in but that still didn't do it. Hell, I was even in AP classes and I still got A's in them all. Eventually as time went by I joined the X Country team, the Winter Track and the Track Team because I had to do something to get my mind of Leslie. Who would have thought that I was one of my best runners my school had ever had in all the years my school was around. However, I always knew that Leslie would have smoked me everyday in practice and in the races. No matter what I did, I could never get my mind off of her.
Each year on the anniversary of her death I leave a drawing of what she might look like today. I started it when she first died and kept continuing it every year to show what she might look like. But I couldn't be sure because I never had a picture of her. I never got one and regret never asking her parents for one before they left. I tried tracking her parents down and to talk to them but I could never find them, so I just gave up on it. As I put the picture down on the raft I started to cry.
"Oh Leslie I miss you so much and I'd do anything to have you back. I wish I told you on the last day I saw you that I loved you. I know "love" is a big thing to say but I knew it at the time and I can only hope that you did too. I'd trade all of our tomorrows for just one yesterday for you Leslie." Said Jess.
Jess then wipes his tears away and pushes the raft away watching it go. He followed it all the way with his eyes until he couldn't see it anymore. He sighed and started to walk back home from Terabithia. Eventually, he made his way to the Bridge and saw something that stopped him dead in his tracks. It was Leslie Burke herself as beautiful as ever and he stood their speechless for five minutes.
"Lllllll." Said Jess.
Eventually he swallowed and said it.
"Leslie?" asked Jess.
The End of Chapter 1. Please give me some feedback so I can improve on future stories! Thank you for time btw and have a great day!
