Hello people! Welcome to my new fanfic 'AFTERLIFE' hope you like the first chapter!

Chapter one

AFTERLIFE

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again...

This song meant so much to Zoe, this was a song that could bring back memories...

Zoe stood up and bravely walked over to the coffin that held her husband Nick Jordan, she placed a loving hand on the top and said goodbye, tears streamed down her cheeks as memories flashed before her, these tears weren't proper tears, she didn't know what they were some people would call them crocodile tears, it wasn't meant to end this way, it should have been the tumour that killed him, she backed away as the night of his death flashed before her...

Zoe was Crying as she left the crematorium, the music from his favourite song echoed in the background, Nick's service was now over, it was the final goodbye, she stopped and looked back, there were hundreds of people that had come along to pay their respect to Nick.

She smiled to herself, he was a respected member of the community, since he had decided to retire he had become some what of a local celebrity in there area, neighbourhood watch star, golfer of the year, bowling champion, father of the year.

That was what made Zoe most proud, Nick Jordan father of the year, they had had a son Nicky Junior, he suffered with cerebral palsy, Nick was fantastic with him, Zoe on the other hand was useless, she couldn't bare to look at the child sometimes, she couldn't work out why her baby had this terrible illness, but Nick always said 'it doesn't make him any different to anybody else' Nick loved his son and Zoe did to but found the illness hard to deal with.

She had Nick to worry about, and on that fateful night that kept repeating in her memory things changed, her world was turned upside down and she lost him, could she have stopped this terrible crime happening? Could she have saved Nick?

"It'll be ok Zoe" came Charlie's voice from behind her, she turned and took in a deep breath "I know" she answered before walking away.
She didn't mean to be so short and sharp with him, but talking was something she wasn't in the mood for, it was all she had seemed to do these last few weeks.

She walked for miles just thinking, what was to happen now? Where was she to go? What was she to do?
She always knew that one day she would be alone, alone without Nick by her side but she never dreamt it would be this soon, she felt confused, she wanted to cry but the tears wouldn't come, she felt empty inside, she wanted to be where Nick was right now, she had lived her life and was ready for the curtain to be brought down.

Nick shouldn't have died, the worse thing was he didn't just die, he was murdered, he saved Zoe and Nicky junior, it was either him or them, he sacrificed his life for her and his son, that was something that Zoe could never get over, she was left with empty feelings.

She stood in the middle of an empty field where her walking shoes had took her, an empty field, just like her life.

She sat down and looked ahead into miles of grass, there seemed to be nothing out there, this field could go on forever.
She always thought Nicks life would go on forever, she was so wrong though, she hated herself right now, she sat picking at the grass for hours until night fell.

She looked up to the night sky "Nick if you can hear me please show me your still around, I can still feel you" she cried, she couldn't fight the tears anymore "Nick" she screamed this time "you said you would come back! You said you would always be there for me!"

She shot to her feet and began screaming his name at the top of her lungs before collapsing to the ground, hitting it as hard as she could, tears stung her dark eyes, she was losing it.

Eventually she was all cried out, drained, her little explosion seemed to have released all her negative feelings from within.
She checked her mobile to find 16 missed called and countless messages, she scanned through them before deciding to head home, she struggled to stand through exhaustion.

"Zoe" came a voice making her spin round, there was nobody there, this was an empty, dark, misty field, no one in their right mind would be out here at this time of night, yet she could feel she wasn't alone.
Fear began building inside her "who's there?" She called.

Suddenly the atmosphere changed and she felt very much alone, her emotions were high, her mind was obviously playing tricks on her. She hadn't slept properly for weeks, she couldn't think straight, day to day she was struggling to complete the simplest of tasks.

"Zoe"

The voice was there again, it sounded like Nick, only older, it was a tired voice like someone was on the verge of death, she looked around and saw nothing.

She tried to shut her mind off as she walked on but it was no use, little thoughts kept popping in there, she held her head with both hands "shut up, shut up, shut up!" She wailed breaking into a run, the field seemed to go on forever, there was nothing below her feet but grass, slippy grass at that.

She soon could see a gate in site which appeared to lead to a pathway, she had been here before many times just not in the pitch black, she felt someone was following her, she wasn't alone here.

"ZO!"

This voice she recognised it was Nick, she braced herself and turned round and there he stood bold as brass...
