Thanks every body for tuning in! I decided that I might make this the last chapter here. It depends. Let's not waste time, let's go!
Ten Years later
I gave up waiting for him at the sixth year. I am now twenty-six. A grown woman. I didn't need a little teenage drama control my life. I had things Loke couldn't ever give me. Sure, I was still jobless and had nowhere to go, but still. I didn't need him.
Yeah, right. Who was I kidding? I still loved him. There wasn't a day I didn't think of him. He left me. Because he wanted to protect me. I felt protected with him there. He was all I had. And he was gone forever.
I was on the stage to get ready for another performance in the Guild Hall. Ever since Loke left, I never had the same flair for performing I usually had. Today would have been the tenth anniversary of his leaving. I wanted to make this special.
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
The cheers and applause usually made me feel on top of the world, but I was crying. Why wasn't he here? Why didn't he cheer me on? Why? I ran backstage and pressed my back against the wall, slumping down as I wept. God, I missed him so much. I just wanted to hear him laugh one more time. Just wanted to hear him say-
"You cry too much."
I looked up.
Oh, my god...
I slammed myself into Loke, crying and clinging to him tightly. "Don't yo ever scare me like that. You hear me?" He chuckled and nodded, kissing the top of my head. I looked up. "Why did you come back here?" I asked him. He grinned with a joyous look on his face. "I have to ask you something." He told me. I smiled. "Ask away. What is it?" He stepped back, one hand in his back pocket, the other holding mine. "I never wanted to hurt you. Especially not for so long I love you, Mikayla. You are the light of my life. I would be lost without you. I can't imagine life without you." My heart sped up as he began to get down on his knee. He wasn't...
"Mikayla, will you marry me?"
Well what could I say to that? Of course I said yes.
That ends book two. I will begin the third one tomorrow! Thanks, everyone!
