Hello! Well, here is the next chapter. I apologize if it isn't very
good, especially the ending. (Hey it's better than before.) I just want to
say thanks to everyone who has been reviewing! Also, I've been reading to
read your fanfics too! As soon as I have a homework break I'm going to
start! Just from looking at your profiles I've noticed some of you are
Harry Potter fans too! I also write Harry Potter (particularly R+H, and H+G
fanfics) fanfics. I would really like to hear your thoughts on those too!
(I hope you don't mind me saying all that.) Oh! And to FairySprinkles, I
didn't notice the planet thing! Hahaha! Thanks for telling me! Ok, so I'll
be quiet now and let you read.
"Elizabeth, will you go buy some more eggs? We're out and I need more for dinner." Said Winnie in a distracted, distant, voice. Elizabeth gave her mom a weird look. She could tell there was something she didn't know.
"Sure, Mom." But, Winnie had already left the room. She grabbed money off the counter and headed out the backdoor. Instead of walking to the back gate, Elizabeth got down on her hands and knees and crawled around to the front of the house.
Winnie paused a minute and took a deep breath before opening the front door. On the other side of this mere piece of wood, stood the boy she had loved. That same boy she had made a promise to seventeen years ago.
Jesse stood on the front porch of the girl who was the love of his life, the girl he hadn't seen for seventeen years. What would she look like now? Will she even remember him? Will she even come to the door to see him? He held his breath as the door slowly opened.
Slowly Winnie opened the door, revealing a tear stained Jesse. She couldn't bare it. Winnie began to break down, crying. There are no words that can describe what they felt at that moment. A strong sense of wanting washed over them. They looked at each other, knowing they could never again love each other. There were no words, just emotion.
With a sharp intake of breath, Winnie spoke. "Jesse," she could barely speak his name. "Jesse I'm sorry. I couldn't drink the water. I just couldn't! You don't understand! Every time I even looked at the water, Tucks' words rang in my head. I didn't want to end up like Miles, Jesse, hating life and wishing it would end. I just couldn't become that. I just couldn't."
Jesse just stood there for a moment. There was nothing he could say. Absolutely nothing. They just stared at each other. Winnie is as beautiful as ever.thought Jesse. How could he have let this happen? How could he have let her go? Winnie was sobbing. She reached out and hugged him. "I'm sorry," she said.
The sound of a shoe scraping against the dirt came from the right side of the house, but the two were too deeply in the past to notice. Several minuets passed them by. All they could think of were those few precious, careless days they had spent together in the woods.
"Are you staying in town?"
"Yes, if I can. The hotels are full."
"Would you like to stay with us? Dinner is going to be ready soon."
"Winnie-"
"You and your family gave me hospitality once, the least I can do is the
same."
"If I get to see you, Winnie, I'll do anything."
Ok, so there it is! I hope this formatting is better! It's not showing up on FanFiction.net right. Please review and tell me what you think! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
