Alright, everybody, you're all probably wondering why I'm updating this story when it said complete. Well, everybody was saying that this story was good, but it really pissed them off. So, I decided to make it a two-shot. Now, once I read my story again, I thought I left it on a sour note. That's why I'm here. I'm going to give this story a little happy ending.

Thank you for everybody who reviewed this story! And thank you, pika25 for giving me the idea to make this chapter in Ash's POV.

Just to warn you: the dates as in time in this story is weird.

Turning Back the Clock 1.5

(Ash's POV)

The sun's rays hit my eyes through the blinds waking me from my sleep. I couldn't help, but smile, seeing my lovely wife, Dawn Berlitz…er…I mean Dawn Ketchum lying next to me. Still can't get use to that. I can't believe how lucky I am to have such a beautiful and loving wife. I turn to my side seeing that the clock says 7:30. I groaned before getting up and walking to the bathroom.

I flicked on the light and stared at myself through the mirror. The smile on my face was back. I thought I couldn't feel this way since…well never mind. I did my daily routine of taking a shower, brushing my teeth, and shaving. Walking out of the bathroom I noticed my wife was there. She was probably brewing coffee for me like she always does. I put on my suit and looked at the mirror above our dresser. I chuckled, can't believe I'm wearing this monkey suit. She would laugh if she saw me now…There I go again, talking about her.

I finish getting ready for work by grabbing my wallet on my dresser. I walk down the stairs and see my loving wife with a fresh cup of coffee in her hands. She hands it to me with a bright smile on her face. How I love that smile. I drink it and check my wristwatch, it's that time again. My wife gives me a peck on the cheek. I say thanks dear and kiss her on the cheeks, and then I tell her I love her. She smiles back.

I grab my keys and walk to my car. I get into it and check the time again, 8:00. I still have enough time until I have to go to work. I make it to the flower shop and I come out with a bouquet of various beautiful flowers. Never was good with the romance stuff though my wife says I am.

I reach the cemetery at 8:30; I can hear my heartbeat thump rapidly. I get out my car with the bouquet of flowers in my hand and walk to a lone grave under a beautiful blossom tree. It was littered with hundreds of flowers I bought. I kneel down and touched the inscriptions on the marble gravestone. I read it aloud, May Maple, a wonderful daughter, a great friend, a wonderful sister, and a loving girlfriend. She'll be missed. 2000-2018.

Fresh tears fell from eyes. I thought I shed all my tears for her a long time ago. I was wrong, how couldn't I cry? I still can't believe that it has been five years since that fateful accident. She died in a car crash when she was coming down to visit me for our one year anniversary of being together. Why did they have to take her? I wasn't ready to let her go.

I lay the lovely array of flowers on her grave. I take a seat on the cold ground and tell her about what's happening in my life. I tell her about Dawn, her mother and father, Max, and myself. I do this everyday for some reason. I just can't let go of her. I don't think I ever will.

I look to my wristwatch and it says 9:00. I stand up and wipe the tears from my eyes. I choked down a sob before saying, I love you to her. I turn around and began to walk to my car, but then I hear a faint voice saying, 'Ash.' I turned around to see nothing, but the blossom tree swaying back and forth to the wind. That voice it sounded like May. I guess it was wishful thinking.

I make it to work. I walk to my cubicle before saying hello to all my friends. They all greet me back. I smile at them before taking my seat in my cubicle. This is so mundane. I do the exact thing every single day. I finish my work unusually early today. I took this chance to lean back on my seat to think about my life.

Lots of thoughts run through my head, but one always comes up, May. I try to not think about her, but I see her in everything. I feel a tad guilty for my wife. Is it right to think of another lady? I sigh, I have to get it through my thick head that May is gone and she'll never come back. I rise from my seat and pack up my stuff. I have a lovely wife waiting for me at home. I will give her a hundred percent of myself.

I make it to my car and drive to my lovely home where my beautiful wife is waiting for me. I enter the front door quietly to surprise my wife. To my surprise I see shoes that I'm not familiar with. I know they aren't mind, but who cares. This could wait because I can't wait until I see my wife. I'm ready to be completely hers. I see that she isn't in the kitchen or the living room that leaves our bedroom. My mouth curves into a small smile. Perfect.

I walk up the old, rickety wooden stairs. Each step I took made a creak. Have to remember to get that fixed. I slowly open the door. To my heartbreak I see my wife in bed with another man. My eyes widened before I turned around and ran down the stairs. I look at my ring with the sting of betrayal in my heart. I pull it off my finger and slam it on the counter. I rush out the door to my car.

I couldn't think straight. I fumble with the keys in my hands. I hear my name being called. There she was, the girl who I thought I loved. The girl I was ready to give my entire life to. She grabs my arms and tells me she is sorry. I push her off and yell, get your hands off me!

I get into my drive and sped out of the driveway. I drove for a fifteen minutes, tears blurring my vision. I had to get out of there. I just had to. The pain, it hurt so much. I could barely see through my eyes. I use my left arm to wipe them away, but something takes hold in front of me. An oncoming car. I swerve out of the way and crash into a tree. I could only hear the screeching of my tire wheels before a blacked out.

I open my eyes and see the cold, black rubber steering wheel on my forehead. I lift my head and lay it against the cushion. There was blood everywhere, my blood. I cough releasing a stream of blood from my mouth. I look down to see a branch impaled in my chest.

I could hear the faint sound of sirens coming, but I knew it was too late. My eyelids became heavy. They dropped down, but a bright light caught my narrow eyes. It couldn't be…May. There she was, beautiful as ever, in a white gown and her beautiful brown locks framing her face. She gave me a charming smile before she reached out her hand.

I grab it and to my surprise. I felt as if my body was lifted. I look down to see my lifeless body in my mangle car. I was shocked until I felt a little squeeze on my hand. I looked to source and saw May, my May. She smiles at me once again and I smile back. I tell her that I love her. She replies, 'I love you, too.' For the first time I feel complete and content. She gives my hand another soft squeeze and asks me if I'm ready.

Suddenly, a white gate appeared before us. It opened revealing a beautiful place that I couldn't describe. I say yes and we begin to walk to that gate. We stop at the gate and gave her a soft kiss on the lip; she returns it with slight blush on her cheeks. I chuckle, after all this, she still blushes. We walk into the gate hand in hand, finally together at last.


There you go everyone! Finally, a happy ending for Ash. I hope that you all liked it.

Well, now I'm going to be starting on my last chapter for Light into Darkness. After that is done, I'm going to start on Love Sickness.

Anyways, Please Review!

Peace Out!
