Disclaimer: I don not own Tuck Everlasting, movie or book.
A/N: Okay, first of all, thank you to all of my reviewers. I know I forgot to put this in the first chapter but Winnie Foster had been hiding in the woods for ninety-eight years. Her face was young, her body was young, but the woods had changed her in somehow. She looked different, so different that Jesse didn't recognize her. Also remember that they had not seen each other for 100 years. One can forget a face, but never a memory. Lastly, I did change the story so that it would fit. In mine Winnie died two years after they met. Yes, in the movie it has her living for a hundred years. Sorry if it inconvenienced anyone!
I Will Love You Until the Day I Die Chapter 2 Winnie's Story
Jesse stared at Winnie with disbelief. How was it that she was standing right in front of him, but he didn't recognize her? The more he thought about it, the more he realized the difference. It's true, Winnie was the same person. He could see it in her eyes, but something was different. She was skinnier than ever and her face was worn out, tattered by the wind. The same wind that never changed had changed Winnie. But it didn't matter. They were together now.
"I can't believe you finally came," said Winnie, interrupting his thoughts.
"I would never forget you."
Winnie sighed. "Where's Tuck? Where's Mae? Where's Miles?"
"Same old, same old. They're just traveling the world. I believe Miles is in Paris at this time of year."
Winnie sighed again. "Umm. Paris. You promised me you'd take me there. That's the only place I haven't been, because you promised me you'd take me up the Eiffel Tower."
"I never forgot that promise, and I will take you there, but what been up with you. I want to hear the entire story."
"I told you it."
"Right, but I want to hear details."
"Okay, well as soon as you left, I thought about what Tuck said and I decided that I wanted to travel the world. I really didn't have any intention of drinking the water."
"Not even for me?"
"Not even for you Jesse Tuck. I wanted to be able to die, but I found myself taking back those words. As we traveled the world the only thing that I could think about was, 'Will we run into Jesse?' I couldn't wait to see you again, and I knew I had to live, for you."
"I love you Winnie Foster."
"I love you too Jesse Tuck."
"Is it true, about the fight you had with your parents?"
"In ways yes, in others no."
"What happened?"
"When we got back from traveling the world I had made up my mind to drink the water. The day we got back I ran to the spring and I took a sip. You were right. It's the bast water I have ever tasted, but my delight was filled with utter horror. Mother had seen me. She went back to tell Father. I ran after her."
At this Jesse looked extremely worried. "What happened?"
"She got to him first. I begged them to let me explain, but it turned out it was all just a misunderstanding. Mother scolded me for drinking water from the ground and she had Father tear down the tree, along with the spring. One night we were all talking about it, and I thought it was time to tell them the truth. I told them about the spring that they tore down. I told them that I would live forever."
She paused for just a slight second, but that second was one of regret and sorrow, but she continued with her story.
"They stared at me, and told me I was lying. They thought that it was just a fantasy that I had made to haunt them, one that would make them regret tearing down that tree. They knew that I was a nature lover."
"What did you do?"
"I ran away. I made sure that I was never caught. Sooner or later Mother realized that the story I told was true. She realized the importance of my secret. She didn't want her daughter to be an 'experiment'. So she convinced Father to call off the search parties and they made this grave, so that no one, except them and the Tucks-you, would know my secret."
Jesse stared at Winnie. All he could think about was her story, what she had gone through. All this was because of him, and that stupid spring.
A/N: Okay, I know that was a short chapter. Please tell me how you liked it. I will update as soon as possible.
