Forgotten Locket
"Happy Birthday Eveleen" Jackson whispered in my ear, I pulled away from the hug he had just given me, we were in a old barn Jackson had taken me here, mostly to get away from parents, both his and mine.
"Thanks" I smiled
"I've got something for you" he said putting his hand in his pocket "Close your eyes" I closed my eyes and heard him say "Now hold out your hand" I did, wondering what he was doing "Okay. You can open your eyes now"
I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful sky blue box with a snowy white ribbon in my hand
"Open it" he urged. I lifted the lid and saw a bronze locket
"Thank you Jackson, it's gorgeous" I said in awe
"Here let me help you put it on" I placed the locket in his hand and he went behind me, pushed my blonde hair to one side, slipped the locket chain around my neck and fastened it "There you go" he said looking pleased with himself. I looked down and saw it resting on my chest
"Thank you so much Jack" I said giving him a hug, and then pulling away just as quickly
He opened his mouth to say something. But I never heard then or now, because what happened back then was my parents found us, and weren't too happy. But before they came in memory changed
…
I was alone at the lake. It must've been spring or early summer as the lake had no sign of any ice and the air was warm. I was crying, which admittedly wasn't anything new, since he had died I never smiled, not even on the inside. I had the locket in my hand I looked down at it and watched my tears fall and break on its surface. I opened it and saw a single pressed flower. A new wave of tears came pouring down my face as my memory faded.
My eyes snapped open. I was Eve Hazel again. It was early morning, and it looked like the moon had just gone down.
So no prizes for guessing who decided to let me remember that.
I looked at the locket in my hand. I knew the day I had gone to the lake. My last few memories were clearer now. The day I had just viewed had been a year since the picnic. I remember that on the picnic he had picked that flower and placed it in my hair, just before he kissed me. I had taken the flower and pressed it in between the pages of a book, when he gave me the locket I had placed the flower inside of it, merging my two favourite memories together.
I opened the locket and was admittedly disappointed, of course the flower was gone it had been three hundred years since I had put it there. I closed the locket and put it under my scarf around my neck.
I go to my feet and flew off to find Jack.
Hiya Guys I'm thinking of making a Prequel, starting when Eveleen & Jackson first meet and ending just before the first chapter of this story. Should I do it? Please tell me! Thanks ~Eveleen
