Chapter 4 Never forgetting

Morgan took the picture off her bedside table. She ran her finger down it. It was a picture of Hunter taken about 2 months before he died. They had gone to the park down the road on his short visit down and she realised she didn't have many photos. She managed to persuade Hunter to have one taken and she framed it. She kept it close to her and every night she would look at his smiling face and remember him, and its the first thing she sees when she wakes up. It always made her feel close to him and she would never move it. The picture will stay with her, along with Hunter.

"I love you" She whispered. She placed it back on the table and turned her ring around on her finger. She never took it off. Hunter had given it to her and she loved it. Nothing could make her take it off.

"Morgan come on people have arrived!" Megan yelled.

It was Morgan's 19th birthday. Megan and Jess had organised a party for her and practically everyone from school was going. That was a lot of people. It was her first party without Hunter and she couldn't stand it. He should be here given her a present and holding her while they danced to all the slow songs. Morgan took a shaky breath and stepped out of her room.

"Hey! Birthday girls finally come out!" Jess yelled. She had shoulder length brown hair with thin light blonde highlights and she had brown eyes.

Morgan plastered a smile on her face and said hello to everyone. Killian had arrived late as usual and had given her a beautiful white gold chain with a morganite hanging from it. She loved it and it must have cost loads.

"Oh, Killian it's beautiful! But you really shouldn't-"

"After everything you've been through! Of course I should have. I just wish I've could have given you more, you've been so strong this past couple of months I-"

"It's perfect. Thank you so much." Morgan said giving him a peck on the cheek.

She felt someone coming up behind her and she turned around and smiled.

"Hey! I thought you said you couldn't come!" Morgan said as she hugged James. In the last month she and James had become very good friends. They kept bumping into each other and just hit it off. He really helped her.

"Like I was going to miss this! 19 is a big year." He said and smiled. He knew she would need lots of people around her today.

"Where's my present?" She said looking at him expectantly.

"I was supposed to get you a present?" He said playfully. "Don't worry I've got you something but you'll have to wait." He said.

Morgan pouted but James refused to budge.

The truth was, ever since James had bumped into Morgan that first time, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He knew it wasn't clever to fall for her but he couldn't help it. He just wished she wasn't so in love with Hunter and that she would notice how he was willing to do anything for her.

A couple of hours later and the party was in full swing. The apartment was packed and it had extended to the full length of the hall. Even with all her friends and some family around her she still felt incredibly lonely. If there was one thing she could have had for her birthday it would have been him. The pain never went away and it hadn't gotten better. She still felt as if Hunter was about to walk through the door shouting Happy Birthday and that he was sorry he was late and that the past 2 months had just been a dream. Morgan had visited his grave today to talk to him and give him flowers. She would go every Saturday and do exactly the same thing. She would put flowers down on his grave and cry. But she never told anyone about the dreams she kept having and the callings she kept receiving. Every night she would dream of Hunter being tied up in a cellar and he would have people draped in black robes standing around him doing a ritual. She could always hear him scream 'NO! I won't do it! Please let me go!', then he would sag and she would hear him whisper in her mind. 'I'm so sorry this is all my fault'. She would wake up tangled in her bed sheets and drenched in sweat but she would still feel the pain and the feeling that he wasn't gone. She still got the callings as well. Sometimes Morgan could hear Hunter calling for her and begging her to stay safe and to never find him. These things drove Morgan crazy and she hadn't told anyone about them. They would never believe her. She didn't believe them herself so she just pushed them to the back of her head. But they always crept forward.

Morgan stepped out into the hall and walked past the crowds of people to somewhere empty. She rested her forehead against the wall and closed her eyes drowning out the rest of the world.

"Why is this so hard?" She asked herself. She was supposed to get over this. No actually this was never supposed to happen. She and Hunter were supposed to get married, have a child and live together as a family. Why did the goddess think Morgan didn't deserve that?

"It's always going to be hard Morgan" James said quietly behind her, making Morgan jump and enter the real world again.

Morgan walked forward to James and he wrapped his arms around her. He rested his chin on top of her head and stoked her hair, soothing her.

"Hunter used to do this all the time" Morgan whispered playing back the memories.

James tensed. Why did she always have to mention him, compare him to him? He knew if it was a choice between Hunter and him he would loose but still Hunter was gone now.

Morgan pulled away. "You know, I feel like he's still here, like he never really died." Morgan laughed dryly at how stupid that sounded.

"You'll always remember him" James said softly.

"I don't want to remember him! I want him to be here!" Morgan shouted. She was sick of people saying he'll always be remembered. As if she was ever going to forget him.

"Morgan-" He began.

"No! You don't understand" She said and went running downstairs away from the party. She went running outside and into the pouring rain. James ran after her close behind, calling her.

"Leave me alone!" Morgan shouted when he finally caught up with her. Morgan struggled out of his grip and fell to the ground on her knees, crying.

"Morgan!" She heard a voice calling her and she looked up, staring into the green eyes she dreamed about every night. Her breathed caught in her throat. It can't be…

"Hunter?" She breathed. She got up and stared at him. He was here, standing in front of her, talking to her, but how? She reached out to touch his face but her hand went straight through him.

"Is that really you?" She asked tears falling down her cheeks and seeing him.

"Yes, but Morgan you have to listen to me. I love you so much and it hurts me to see you in so much pain because of me, but please forget me-" He pleaded.

"Forget you?" She shouted.

"Morgan, I'm not dead but don't find me. It's what they want; they want you to believe I'm dead so they can get you when you're weak. Don't let them! I am trying to save you!" He shouted back.

"But I love you so much, how can you tell me you're not dead and expect me not to try and save you! You can't ask me to do that!" She shouted crying.

"But Morgan, if you don't you'll die! I can't have that. I love you to much to let you die because of me. Forget me" Hunter said. He started to fade and Morgan tried to touch him, to reach out and grasp him and never let go but it was too late. He was gone.

She blinked and when she opened her eyes again James was staring at her strangely.

"Morgan?" He asked confused.

"He's alive, he's alive" She whispered to herself. "You saw him?" Morgan asked.

"What are you talking about? Morgan you just started talk to thin air. I think you need to get some sleep." He said concerned taking her elbows and walking her inside.

"Hunter I will not forget you." She said before fainting in James arms.

Sorry this wasn't a very good chapter. Review please.
