I do not own Rocket Power or A Walk To Remember.
Chapter 28: Her Miracle
Reggie and I had a perfect summer together, with more love than most people know in a lifetime. And then she went one Monday morning, with her unfailing faith. My last words to her were, "I'll always love you, and I'll never forget you." She smiled at me, told me that she loved me with all of her heart, and then she closed her eyes to go into her endless sleep. She was buried in the graveyard in the exact same spot where she would look at the stars through her telescope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been four years. I park my car and walk up the walkway. I knock on the door, and the vision of Reggie walking towards me will stay with me forever. Otto opens the door, and greets me.
"Hey, Lars! Come on in," he says as he ushers me through the door. I walk into the living room and sit down on the couch. I look up on the mantle where a picture of Reggie and I at our wedding sits. Ray walks into the room, and I look up as he smiles.
"Lars," he greets as I stand up.
"How's it going?" I ask him as we hug each other.
"Oh, I'm getting by," he replies, sitting down on the chair as I sit on the couch. He smiles at me. "Lars, what's new?
"I got into medical school," I reply.
"Your mother told me that," he says. "We're both very proud of you. Reggie would have been proud of you." I smile as he says this, missing her more than ever.
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had the determination to get in," I say, looking down at my lap. Then I lift my head up and look at Ray with a sad face. "I'm sorry she never got her miracle." Ray smiles at me as I say this.
"She did," he says. "It was you." Right now, I could break down and cry. Not only was I her miracle, but she was mine. I'll never be the same again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is now in the evening, and I'm walking on the boardwalk, looking at the sunset just like Reggie and I used to. Reggie saved my life. She taught me everything. About love, hope, and the long journey ahead. I'll always miss her, and I've never removed my ring. I've never wanted to, nor will I ever. But our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I feel it. And from what I feel, it's not going anywhere. Now I am almost done with my story, and I say almost because there is one last thing I have to tell you. That last thing is that I'll always believe in miracles.
THE END
Hey!!! That was soooooooooooooooooooooooo sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, the story's done, thanks to all who reviewed and inspired me to finish the story! I know that it's just like the movie with a little bit of the book thrown in, but what's different is that you know the story from Lars's point of view. My heart feels really heavy right now and I'm on the brink of crying; if you're crying now, then I've done my job.
