Chapter 9
Alex's grave site
Isabel is sitting on the floor and runs her fingers over Alex's plaque.
Isabel: I keep wishing that the dream I had was real. Everyday I wonder about what could've been between us. Would we be happy? Would we have been in love more than ever? Would we have gotten married? Maybe had a kid or two? (Isabel begins to cry.) God, I hate Tess so much. She's no longer here but that still doesn't dismiss the fact of what she did. I know I should be moving on with my life and not going backwards but in all honesty, I don't want to. I never in my life thought I could love someone because of what I am but you never seemed to mind and I never got a chance to ever thank you for that. I never got a chance to tell you how much I loved you. Sure Jesse is okay but he's just that, okay. I can never love him like I loved you. (Isabel wipes away some tears.) I hate life sometimes you know? There's so much sadness, so much loss. Make me a promise okay? Promise me you won't ever leave and I promise to visit here more often as well as visit your parents more. I haven't seen them since that day we were at your house after the funeral. I love you Alex, so much and I hope I see you again. (Isabel kisses her hand then puts her hand on the plaque. She gets up and leaves.)
