Serious authors note at the bottom. Please read.
We were in the car with Miley driving to the Graveyard. Why would Nate be at a graveyard? What could make him run there? I looked in the review mirror to see Miley's leg bouncing up and down, she's nervous.
"Almost there" Jason called out and Miley's head shot up to look at us. She nodded and then went back to looking out the window. I sighed, hopefully this will all be over. I looked at the road to see the sign telling us we had arrived at the graveyard. Jason put the car in park and we hurried toward the graves. The graveyard wasn't big but it was big enough to make it hard to find someone here.
"Where could he be?" Miley asked softly.
"Lord Jason Gray" someone said behind us. We turned as the man bowed "I am the caretaker of this graveyard. I was told to give this note to you" He said handing Jason the note.
"Thank you, sir" The man nodded and walked back inside. Jason nodded and opened the note. "Mitchie told me you were coming. I'm sorry. I can't see-" he paused and hand Miley over the note. "I think you should read this" She took it and started reading it.
"I can't see you Miley. I've hurt you so bad…I can't hurt you again." As she read, I saw the tears falling. "Don't be mad at Mitchie, I made her tell me, she didn't want me to know. Miley, please I want you to be happy. Please, I'm not worth all the pain. I'm just a stupid man. Please." She stopped reading out loud but I could tell she was still reading because her eyes scanned over the letter. When she was done, she closed her eyes and held the note to her chest. "Hold on." She said as she walked into the office behind us. We followed her in as she ran up to the counter. "Sir?" She asked. He looked up and nodded "Which grave was Lord Nathan at? Please, I need to know" The man nodded
"Let me check" he said and pulled out a book. It was filled of names of people and what graves they visited. "Hmm he visited a 'William, Susan & Jackson Stewart'" Miley's eyes widen and she gasped.
"A-are you sure?" She asked and the man nodded. "W-where are the graves located?" She asked.
"Umm Row E Grave 19, 20 & 21" The man said and Miley took of running.
"Thank you" Jason said and we ran after her.
She ran all the way to the grave and then fell at the sight. There laid a beautiful set of red and white roses on all three graves except the last one had yellow-red then the regular roses. Miley fell to her knees and started crying. I knelt down to her and rubbed her back.
"This is your family isn't it?" I asked. Miley nodded.
"Yes. I can't believe he remembered me telling him about the flowers." I looked at her puzzled "My father when he first met my mother gave her red and white roses, without know that those where her favorite. When they had Jackson my dad had planed on getting her the same thing but there no red ones left, just the yellow-reddish ones that looked like fire. She loved them anyways and every time something important happened there was always a red, yellow-reddish and a white rose for my mom. When I was born there where only yellow ones so after that a yellow one was always added." She had tears running down her face. "I…I need him" She turned toward me and hugged me. I rubbed her back softly. "I need him badly" I heard Jason sigh.
"I'll be right back" He said and walked away flipping his phone open. I kept rubbing Miley's back until I felt her calm down. I heard footsteps behind us.
"Ma'am?" I looked up to see the caretaker. "He was staying here." He said softly. "I could show you were." I looked at Miley and she nodded. "Follow me" he said. We got up and followed him into the office. He walked us to the back and down a hall. He opened the door. "He stayed here" I nodded
"Thank you" He smiled and waved bye. We entered the room as he left. The room was small, just a bed, a window, dresser and a desk. I could see small traces of Nate being here. Miley walked over to the desk and picked up the papers on the desk. They were all articles

Why would he have all of these? I looked down at the desk to see pieces of paper with writing on them. I picked them up and read them.
"I've realized what I've done. I've destroyed two families, broken a girl more than she was, and became a person I swore not to be. I know you won't read this, your not here, you're gone, hopefully in a safe place. Mr. Stewart I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I've done. For the pain I caused your daughter from the day you died. I could have stopped everything that day if I didn't leave. If I hadn't been in the road…"
Miley gasped and her breath started shaking. "No" She kept whispering. "NO" I held on to her as she fell to the ground. Jason came in and asked what was wrong. I pointed to the letters. The more he read the more his jaw started dropping and his eyes widen.
"I know Miley will find out. I know that she'll hate me forever. When I was in the road, I was high. I wanted to die. I was in a deep depression and I couldn't fix it. When I saw you swerve that's when I realized I was in the road. I'm sorry for the pain I caused your daughter. She's a wonderful person, no matter the tragedy she's gone through, she's ties to be happy. I left her. I can't hurt her anymore, I love her too much" Jason read that part out loud and Miley started crying harder.
"Why?" Her shaking voice said. "Why!" She started thrashing around in my arms but I held her tighter.
I could feel her heart breaking.
I felt my heart breaking.
Damn it Nate.
Okay, I try really hard to make sure the stuff that you guys read are enjoyable and well written. I take my time! I make sure everyone is happy about what they are reading.
If I get a message again saying I'm abusing you and that I have no right to make people wait for the chapter I WILL QUIT! I'm not pissed off by a lot of things but that does piss me off. I don't need people breathing down my neck saying that I need to hurry or I'll lose a reader. I don't like that, I feel worthless. I'm sorry that I don't update a lot but I trust my loyal readers/reviewers understand that I HAVE A LIFE! *sigh*
I'm sorry I didn't reply to any reviews. That just pissed me off. I'm sorry for the freak out. :D
Love you guys. I really do.
