A book or a movie never broke my heart the way "Me after you" did. This is my version that I needed to write to get some resentment that in some version there is a happy ending for Lou and Will.
Forgive me for my typos and mistakes. English is not my native language.
The charachters belong to Jojo Moyes.
"You have to let me go, Clark" Will said with a very calm voice.
Lou looked out of the window. Around her everything seemed the same. The annexe was as they left it. The garden outside was still beautiful. Will was still here in a wheelchair. Everything seemed the same, but nothing was. Will would soon leave for Switzerland, the annexe will be empty and the garden will never be as beautiful as it was now. Without him life will never be beautiful again.
"I made my decision a long time ago" he was looking at her, she was still captured by the garden. Her silence made him nervous. It was not something he was used from her.
"I thought our love for each other would be able to change your mind" Lou finally spoke up in a tone of voice that was a little higher than a gentle whisper "I thought I could be enough for you"
Will's heart broke looking at her like that. He wanted to capture her face. He desparetly wanted her to look at him.
"You are a one of a kind woman, Clark. You deserve someone who will be able to give you things that I never could. Not in my condition. This is what I want. You have to respect that"
"I know what you mean" she whispered while she finally turned her head around and looked at him. The room was dark. Outside the sky was getting ready for a thunderstorm "I am not enough for you, Will. I am not good enough for you to take a chance on me. I am not one of the sofisticated tall blondes with expensive parfumes and nice clothes ready to have an adventure"
"Clark! How can you say such a thing" Will couldn't believe his ears. "Is that what you really think? The past six months you were the only thing that kept me going. I love you, Clark. I love you! 10 tall blondes wouldn't be able to replace you"
Louisa never got mad in her life. At least not really mad. Not the way they do it in the movies. But now anger was in every pore of her body. How could he do that to her? How could he easily let her go like that. Before she knew, she started yelling. She yelled so loud her whole body started to shake. Tears started to run down her face.
"YOU ARE A LIAR, WILL TRAYNOR. YOU ARE A COWARD AND A LIAR. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT NOTHING THAN YOURSELF. YOU HAVE LET ME FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU, ONLY TO TELL ME YOU ARE GIVING UP ON LIFE. YOU DONT LOVE ME. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT LOVE IS. IF YOU WOULD LOVE ME, YOU WOULD NEVER HURT ME LIKE THIS. YOU ARE A COWARD. YOU DIDN'T ONLY GIVE UP ON YOURSELF, YOU GAVE UP ON ME TOO. YOU GAVE UP ON US. I WISH THAT I HAVE NEVER MET YOU!" She couldnt help herself. All the sadness, all the anger inside her, came out all at once. She hit the table in front her so strongly it overturned on the floor. Lou took one last look at Will who stared at her in shock with his mouth wide open then she run out and disapeared in the darkness followed by the sound of distant thunder.
"Clark! Clark!" Will managed to overcome the shock her words put him in and to yell after her. "Clark!" He desparetly tried one more time even if he knew she was long gone. Her words hit him hard. She was enough. She was more than enough. All this months he wanted to be with her. When he lied down to bed at night he was finally looking foward to the morning cause she would be there with her quirky clothes and beautiful smile. The nightmares were gone. Life was beautiful again. He was more alive with her than he has been ever before. He wanted to live again. But he couldn't put her through this. She didn't deserve to be tight up to a man who was not able to give her all what she deserves. Warm tears of desperation started to fall down from his eyes. His head started to spin. She would never be happy with someone like him. He smashed the vase on the counter with his hands.
With both of his hands.
