Chapter 13: End6/9/2005
"We can make it last forever, baby. Our love will stand the test of time. In the middle of our world, I'll be waiting for you to be all mine. We're walking on sunshine in the middle of the night and it feels like I'm somewhere above the sky. Take my hand, close your eyes, say the sweet little things that make me cry. Catch my tears, with a kiss. These special moments do exist.
Let's take a chance and try love baby. No one's not giving up 'till you tell me that you'll be in my life until the end of time…"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
BEEP…BEEP…BEEP…BEEP…
I suddenly looked up with a tear-stained face and stared at the heart monitor hooked up with Yamato. His heart…it was beating! He was alive! I couldn't believe it! I stared at the heart monitor in disbelief, not that I didn't want to believe it.
I looked back at Yamato's face. It seemed happier in a way. It didn't look so lifeless anymore. There was more color in it. I started crying tears of joy and I started hugging Yamato has hard as I could, despite his lifelessness.
He was alive! What were the odds? He was going to be okay! Everything was going to be normal again…What a relief…
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
I heard a ring coming from the phone.
"I'll get it!" I shouted.
I ran toward the phone and picked it up. It was the same policeman that talked to me in the hospital.
"Hello?"
"Hi, this is the California Police Department. I'm looking for Camilla Ashiru?"
"Yes, this is she. How may I help you?"
"We've got good news for you. We've tracked down the kidnapper. He's going to jail for quite a long time."
I gasped with surprise.
"Oh, thank you! I can't believe it! He's really going to jail! Thank you, sir!"
"Yes, it was about time we caught him. He's wanted in 15 states and had kidnapped and killed 45 people. Thanks to you, he won't be bothering anybody ever again."
"Thank you! I'll be sure to tell Yamato the good news."
We hung up and I ran to Yamato to tell him.
"Yamato! They caught the kidnapper! He's being locked up for a long time!"
"So, he's finally in jail, eh? That's a relief…"
I ran up to him and hugged him. He then kissed me with warmth and love…
I remembered everything that happened from that day in the hospital to today. Yamato woke up two weeks later after the day the heart monitor declared him "alive." After he woke up, the doctor said Yamato had recovered enough to go home…or what was left of it. When we went home, I saw what the policeman meant by "ransacked" our home.
Our home was in ruin: dishes lay shattered on the floor, reflecting the ruminants of what used to be, glass lay on the floor as well, no long guarding the precious pictures that I held dear. Papers were ripped and torn. Other memories of what used to be my home lay scattered everywhere. I couldn't believe that this trash heap was once where I lived.
Anyway, Yamato was back and I couldn't be happier. I fixed up most of the damage done. I got the basics set up again: the bedroom (yes, we sleep in one bed), the kitchen, and the living room.
Once he had enough energy to run and whatnot, he had enough sense to ask me to record all of our experiences down. You know, just so I don't forget them. I had nothing better to do so I agreed.
I typed up all of our experiences. Yamato helped me with the details that I couldn't remember. I typed up every piece of dialogue. It turned out to be almost like...a diary. It was not long enough to be a book, but long enough to be a story.
I would say you would think it was interesting, you would enjoy it, and I would also say that that diary I typed up is what you have just read.
End.
P.S.- We're moving to New York next week.
