Chapter 10
Hunter sat in his car, for the last 2 hours, in front of the cemetery. He had watched as everyone had arrived and left. While he sat in the car like a coward. He felt bad for walking out, like he did. But he just couldn't do it. Be able to be in the same room as her. It hurt him too much.
He got out of the car and walked down the cement sidewalk. Looking as each gravestone, as he past them. Her stone came into site, as stepped closer and closer.
He stepped on the freshly new dug dirt. He ran his fingers over the stone, tracing his fingertips over the carved letters. He knelt down and read the carved letters.
"Nickole Helmsley- A wonderful friend and a beloved wife. An angel who blessed us with her presences. Friends and family truly will miss her. She won't be forgotten."
Hunter read the words again. The words touched him deeply.
"I hope you like it," Someone said. He turned around and saw Sierra standing there. "It's something short and sweet and right to the point. I hope you don't mind, about the last name and wife thing."
"No, I don't mind. I'm glad you did put it," He told her. "Even though we weren't married, she will always be considered my wife."
Sierra knelt down next to him and put her arm around him.
"I miss her so much Sierra," He said, as tears fell from his eyes.
"I know, so do I," She whispered.
"And it hurts so much. I sometimes wish that this was all a nightmare, and I would wake up and she would be right next to me."
Hunter couldn't hold back his tears any longer. He just let all the pain out. Sierra looked over at him, as the tears fell. She wrapped her arms around him, and pulled him closer to her.
"Why did she have to leave?" He cried out. "It hurts…it hurts so much. I loved her with all my heart and soul. She was everything to me, but now, she was taken away and I don't want to go on without her."
"Yes, you can," She said, caressing his face. "She would want you too."
"I can't. It won't be the same. I want her back."
"Hunter, we all do. We all miss her. But you can go on without her. It will just take some time. Time to ease the pain. I promise, things will get better."
And only in time, will it heal his broken heart.
THE END!
