OMG I am so sorry, I have two exams in the space of a week one being tomorrow, so I am sorry I haven't been able to update, but here it is!
A month later:
For Julia things did get better, much better in fact. She no longer suffered bad dreams and when she smiled it was usually genuine and she didn't have to pretend anymore. Darcy was hung on the Wednesday of that week, now it was a Sunday, and now Julia felt free, she had been so worried that it would not stop and she was relieved when they did.
"Julia, are you alright?" William asked poking his head around the door into her room.
"Hmm, William what time is it?" she asked disappointed that she was woken.
"Seven"
"Hmm, it's a Sunday. Go back to bed William."
"I was checking you were alright"
"Hmm," She said already passing into another sleep and rolling onto her side.
William smiled at Julia, he always checked to see if she was alright, he cared deeply for her and with what she had been through in the last two months, he wouldn't be surprised if she was still suffering but she wasn't and that was a blessing.
He returned back to his own room, he had to be up again soon for church but he wasn't worried about that he was sleeping a bit more first.
He slept until about nine thirty, he then had to get up to go to church, he looked in on Julia on his way out but left a note saying where he went should she want to know.
Julia awoke at about ten o'clock, she grabbed her robe off the end of the bed, and she headed out of her room in search of William. When Julia couldn't find him upstairs she looked for him downstairs.
She didn't find him but she found his note.
Julia,
Gone to church, be home soon,
William
She smiled at the note and went to get something to eat, she wasn't that hungry so she just got herself some bread and buttered it. She poured herself some tea and sat in the sitting room, she patiently waited for William to return by reading the newspaper, everywhere she looked all she could see was Darcy's face, on one page there was a picture of her.
'Doctor almost kills Doctor! Garland hung!'
She had had enough she sighed and went into the garden.
It was about eleven thirty and William just came in, there was an empty cup in the sitting room and the newspaper was open to a picture of her and Darcy,
'Doctor almost kills Doctor! Garland hung!'
He knew Julia must have went into the only place in their house that calmed her. The garden.
William went and joined Julia, she was staring at some flowers she planted the week before.
"Julia," he said quietly.
"William, you're home," She said practically beaming!
"Yes, I saw the article, do you want to talk about it?"
"I would like that, I'm getting sick of looking at Darcy and me, I mean 'Doctor almost kills doctor, Garland dead!' that is the worst tile I have seen this week and there have been many! For example 'Ogden terrified of outcome of Garland!' 'battle off the ex-fiancée's'
There have been many but that one today was the worst!" Julia wasn't unset anymore she was just angry about it.
"I know I tire of seeing them too, I cannot imagine what it is like for you, Julia"
"I don't think I would've gotten through this is it wasn't for you, William, so I thank you,"
"You're very welcome"
Julia stood up and went to his side, she smiled at him, "Come on, let's go inside, it's cold"
"Very"
Once indoors they found themselves very bored, "Julia would you like to go for a walk?"
"I would love to"
They didn't walk very far they ended up sitting on a park bench where there story started all those years ago, "I cannot believe you drank all that alcohol!" Julia laughed adding a joke to the conservation,
"Yes, very stupid of me"
"I don't know, I don't think we would have ever told each other our feeling if we hadn't."
"I would have, eventually"
"Hmm, we will never know" Julia teased, "We're here now and I don't want to go back," she added a little more seriously.
"Either do I, which is why I brought you here."
"William?"
"This is where it began, and that is why I chosen here"
"William!" She exclaimed as he brought out a silver box,
"Julia, these past months have made me realise I never want to live without you," Julia's face broke out into a smile! "I love you, and want nothing more than to be with you, please will you marry me?"
"Yes!" was she managed to say or rather shout before William kissed her, when they parted he slid the ring onto her finger.
For once Julia wasn't wondering if it was going to get better she KNEW it was going to get better.
OMG only the epilogue to go! I cannot believe I have almost finished this story! until the next time I'mapsychopathI'mnotrude1997 x
