My Only Love Charity and Miguel

(The Death)

Kay just kept stabbing Charity as if she'd never stop. Just then Sam, Grace, Jessica, and Miguel came in. They all looked at Kay in horror. "Kay, what the hell are you doing!" Sam yelled as he and Grace pried her off of Charity.

Jessica and Miguel were at Charity's side. They turned her over; her entire body was lying in a pool of blood. Miguel lifted Charity into his lap. "Charity? Charity, answer me."

Charity, in her dying moment, looked up at her loving boyfriend. "Miguel," she struggled to say and in so much pain. "I love you." And then her body went limp.

"Charity! CHARITY! NO!" Miguel shouted, fighting to keep the tears that were welling in his eyes from falling. He shook her in desperate hopes of bringing her back to life. But he knew that it was a lost cause. "Don't leave me, Charity. Don't leave me. Please..." he could stop himself from crying any longer. He hugged Charity's lifeless body. "God Kay, WHY!"

(The Funeral)

Charity was in an open casket. Before it was closed, Miguel placed a rose in her hands and gave her one final kiss. "I love you, Charity," he whispered, eyes swimming with tears that he refused to let fall down. "I'll love you forever." And then he walked out of the Church. He couldn't bear to go to her burial.

A minute later, Luis went out to him as everyone else went to the cemetery. He knew all too well what Miguel was going through. He sat down next to him on the bench. "Hey. You want to talk about it?"

If it had been anybody else he would have said no, but because Luis was going through the same thing he was, he was open to talk about. "I had a dream that Charity and I were together, cuddling, saying how much we loved each other. Then the alarm clock went off and our song was playing. I woke up thinking everything was alright." He wiped his red eyes. "And then a second later I realized it was just a dream. Charity's gone. I saw her murdered." He didn't speak for a few seconds. "She died in my arms, Luis. I saw her dying in pain and there was nothing I could do to save her. Charity's dead. Nothing's ever going to be alright again..." And then he started sobbing.

"Let it out, Miguel. Let it out," Luis said as hugged his grieving brother. He cried a little too; for himself, for Sheridan, for Charity, and for Miguel.

"CHARITY!" Miguel kept screaming.

(The Return)

"I just want to be alone right now," Miguel said when they came back home. He walked to his room and slammed the door shut.

As soon as he slammed the door he closed his eyes and leaned against it. "No I don't want to be alone," he said. "I want to be with Charity. And that's never going to happen again." And then he opened his eyes and saw Charity on his bed, lying on her back, with blankets up her shoulders, and her arms in the exact same position they were with the rose in her hands. He was too shocked to move. Finally he walked over to his bed. "It's not possible." he said, thinking he was imagining what he was seeing. He reached over and touched Charity's bare shoulder. She was real. "Oh my God." He started shaking her gently. "Charity!" he almost yelled.

Charity woke up, remembering what had happened, how Kay had stabbed her to death. "Miguel," she said.

"Charity!" he was all too shocked. He had seen her murdered and now she was alive. The love of his life was alive. "Oh, Charity." He lifted her into her arms and they embraced each other so tightly. And the blanket that was covering Charity fell, but they didn't notice it. They started crying again, this time out of happiness. "I love you Charity."

"I love you too, Miguel." They de-embraced and for one spilt-second Miguel saw her naked torso.

He looked away quickly. "I didn't see anything, I swear. Alright, I did, but only for a second."

"I don't care," she said as she hugged him again. "I love you." She started crying again.

Miguel wrapped a blanket around her and hugged her back. "I love you too."

Just then, a bright light appeared out of nowhere. Out of it came the Angel Girl.

"Who are you?" Miguel asked. Charity already knew.

"Just call me an Angel of Goodness."

"Thank you," Miguel said, he and Charity hugged each other again. "Thank you for bringing Charity back to me and letting us be together."

"Charity, you know what you must do," the Angel Girl said. (Referring to bringing down evil and saving Harmony like you saw in chapters 2 and 3)

"I know. I remember now. And thank you too."

"One more thing, before I leave. I just came from Luis and Sheridan. Sheridan is alive too." And then the Angel Girl disappeared.

Miguel just looked at Charity. "Sheridan's alive! Oh my gosh!"

"I know. She and Luis are as happy as we are."

"Let's go see them." He paused. "In a minute. I need to hold you longer." They hugged again; and kissed, perhaps the most passionate kiss of their lives. "I thought I had lost you forever."

"So did I."

"I love you, Charity."

"I love you too, Miguel.

"Let's go see Luis and Sheridan." He got up and tossed Charity his bathrobe from his closet. She put it on and then they both went to Luis's room.

(The Wedding)

4 years later came the big day. Charity and Miguel's wedding. Jessica was the maid-of-honor, and Reese was the best man. (For 2 years Reese and Jessica had been dating and became engaged a few weeks before the wedding.)

"Charity, place this ring on Miguel's finger." She did. "And repeat after me. I, Charity Standish."

"I, Charity Standish."

"Take thee, Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald."

"As my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish."

"For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

"Now Miguel, place this ring on Charity's finger." He did. "And repeat after me. I, Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald."

"I, Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald."

"Take thee, Charity Standish."

"As my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish."

"For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

"By the power invested in me by the state of Massachusetts, I hereby pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

They kissed for the first time as a married couple and everyone else cheered. Then they walked back down the aisle together feeling beyond happy and beyond in love.
