MY EVERLASTING LIFE
I didn't want it to end this way. I loved him more than any other man I have in all of my life. I knew his father, Mr. Tuck, wanted me to do the right thing by living my life than wasting it by never aging. It would've been wonderful living each day and never getting any older, even if I was afraid of dying. I still have dreams of the time Jesse and I would play in the fields; laughing, careless about our time and only admiring the beauty of nature. Without Jesse I would have been with my mother acting like a graceful and mind controlled young lady. I didn't want that. I wanted to explore the world beyond the fence. I knew I would face it someday. I wished my mother would stop keeping me away from everything I wanted to be close to. I know now she was just trying to keep me safe; and to always stay her little girl. After deciding to not drink from the spring, I went along with my mother and her abolishing plans, and was surprised to see that she took me around the world to many places I've been wanting to see for quite some time. After a while I met this very handsome man named Alexander. He had a charm; something that made me fall in love with him more and more each day. About a year and a half afterwards of dating, he asked me to marry him. I started to cry, and whispered yes. He made it so special; he took me to the place we first met, when he asked where a certain building was. In that very spot is where the magic began to really work. We had two beautiful children, and I realized that living my life may have mishaps, but it also carries miracles along the way. I found myself at home alone one glorious morning, and I thought about the times I shared with Jesse. I had tears in my eyes, as I remembered my love for him. Alexander came in the house, and asked me what was wrong with a worried look on his face. I decided to tell him about my past. He told me that it was alright to miss your first loves, because you always learn something from them. I didn't tell him about the spring, for I had a feeling that he would want to drink from it, or think I was crazy. We didn't talk about it any longer after I told him my story. Years later, I had become ill. The children had left, gotten married and had children themselves. At the time doctors were just finding cures for sicknesses and diseases. They didn't have one for what I had, and had to live until it was my time to go. I was fine with it, but I was worried about Alexander being alone.
I remember the day he took me to a place that looked familiar to me. He wouldn't tell me where he was taking me. After a while I fell asleep, and when I woke up I was in the fields of the place I had been with Jesse. Memories started filling my head, and I was speechless. Alexander had made us lunch, and we ate on the Ifle Tower. I thanked him when we left the place, and he told me that he knew that I needed to keep my imagination with me; even when I'm gone. The next morning I had a heartatache and Alexander whispered in my ear, "You will always live in my heart and throughout our children, and on and on… Goodbye, and don't worry, I will be with you soon."
