It was Sunday and Scott found himself sending emails making calls anything to try and get Kelly to talk to him. He now sat in her room looking around her when his eyes feel upon a letter that lay on her desk. He went over and saw that it had his name on it.
Dear Scott
I love you with all my heart and I never want to forget all the good times we had. So I decide to write a journal to keep our memories in. This keeps me going through all the heart surgery and all the pain in my past. I can see your face now your wondering were the journal is. You'll find it under the bed in a small wooden box. All the letters are numbered so you can read them in order.
From your loving wife
Kelly.
Scott reread the letter over and over again. Thinking of all the things that he wished he could tell Kelly right now. Scott then went to their bed and found the box that Kelly had spoken of in her letter.
When he opened the box the sweet smell of her perfume greeted him and he smiled. On the first letter was the date that the two of them had met.
Dear Scott
Today was so crazy I can't even start to tell you how I felt today. But now I sit in this hospital bed thinking of you. I know your father came in and told you to leave for a while. When you left I saw you leave the truth is that the tears where streaming down my face you remind me so much of David. That is another story and a very sad one maybe later I'll tell you. When you rescued me for some reason I thought I saw fear in your eyes. I was hanging there by a thread and you reeled me back in. To that I am for ever greatful.
Kelly.
Scott could remeber now all the feelings he had felt when he saw her. Fear was at the top of the list. His eyes now started to get misty but he willed himself to keep going. Kelly was still the one he loved and he would fight for her till he himself could no longer breath.
Dear Scott
Today when we arrived at the island and I saw all the beautyI couldn't believe that this is where we would grow old together. I'm gazing at the diamond ring you slipped on my finger and the tears start to poor down my face. If only you knew what storms lay with in me you would turn your back on me and never look back. This is my dilema that I must battled on my own for no one was there when David fell to the floor infront of me. We have been together long enough that I feel it's time that I tell you about David.
Scott looked up to see his father standing at the door.
"Scott we got a message from Rachel." Jeff spoke the words slowly.
"What is it is it Kelly?" Scott said dropping the letter on the bed and jogging to his father.
"Kelly collapsed today and was rushed to the hospital." Jeff said and istantly saw the fear in Scott's eyes.
"She said that Kelly wasn't doing to good and the surgens were going in today to perform heart surgery again." Jeff paused and looked at Scott.
"Scott I think you should go and be with her." Jeff laid his hand on Scott's shoulder.
"I'll have Virgil fly you out. Take your time no need to rush home." Jeff then said.
Scott ran to the bed and grabbed the box and then ran past his father to get Virgil. Soon the two where in the air flying to California to the hospital Scott knew all to well.
The flight was a silent one as the tension was high. Scott looked out the window waiting to see San Fransico's sky line coming into view. The box now sat on his lap tightly placed in his hands.
"Scott I'm really sorry about Kelly." Virgil finely said.
Scott however did not answer. To him everyone acted as though she had already died and they were preparing for the funeral. Virgil fought to keep the tears of happniess from running down his face he would be seeing Rachel again and he couldn't wait. He then mentally hit himself thinking that this was not under good cricmstances.
As they landed Scott had the door open and jumped out. Running straight into the hospital and asking for Kelly's room number.
As he made his way to her room Rachel walked the other way tears in her eyes.
"Scott oh Thank god your here." Rachel said pulling him into a tight hug.
"How is she?" Scott asked.
"She is just laying in there looking out the window." Rachel cried.
"I'll go talk to her." Scott said seeing Virgil coming Rachel ran to his open arms.
Scott entered the room which looked exactually the same from last time.
"Kelly." Scott said slowly not wanting to shock her.
"Scott you shouldn't have come." The whisper came.
"I couldn't not come." Scott said.
Kelly's head turned to him and a smile crossed her face.
"That's my girl." Scott said smiling himself.
"Read to me." Kelly said. Now reaching her hand out to him.
"Ok." Scott said and opened the letter that he had been reading.
"I got something better." Scott said taking her hand.
"And what would that be?" Kelly asked the fimilar playful spirit coming back into her face.
"You have to promise one thing first." Scott said.
"What would that be?" Kelly asked.
"You can come in!" Scott called.
Kelly looked over at the door and her father walked in and was followed by Rachel, Virgil, Jeff, John, Alan, Tin Tin, Gordon and a minster.
"Scott...but...how?" The words slipped through sobs.
"Forget how just be my wife." Scott said pulling out a ring and slipping it on her finger.
"Yes!" Kelly nearly jumped out of bed.
"I'm a mess though." Kelly then said trying to comb out her hair a little bit.
"Your beautiful to me." Scott said and nodded his head.
The misnter started the ceremony. Finally the time came for Kelly to say "I do." She looked at Scott then at her father who had a huge smile on his face then to all the other people that stood in the room.
She then turned back to Scott and said, "I do."
Scott smiled and the tears fell from Kelly's eyes. Later that evening when everyone had left the room Kelly looked at Scott.
"You really love me." She said now weaker.
"More then ever." Scott said still holding her hand.
Kelly looked at Scott then at the door which had been opened and a nurse stood there.
"Scott promise me something." Kelly said with a touch of urgency in her voice.
"What." Scott asked.
"Promise me that you'll wait for me and never leave me and that you'll read all those letters." Kelly said pulling him into a hug.
"I promise." Scott said worry written all over him.
"Exscuse me it's time to go Kelly." The nurse finally spoke.
Scott held Kelly's hand tighter.
"Kelly don't quit on me." He whispered in her ear as the doctors came in with another bed.
"Never." Kelly said as her eyes closed.
