Epilogue

That night Ashley Kerwin committed suicide. She slit her wrists and watched herself bleed. She couldn't take it anymore. She just did it. She didn't know why but she did. At 10 o'clock at night Craig Manning came home and found her on the floor knife in hand.

He called the emergency room and cried and cried. She left him. How could she leave him? He loved her so much. Too much. Now she was gone. His Ashley, the only person he would truly love died. The funereal was on January 27. Ashley's favorite day of the year. Everyone Ashley knew attended and Craig made a speech.

"Ashley Kerwin was one of the best people in this world. She was a perfect person in my eyes. A wonderful lover, a great musician, loyal friend and I bet she would be a great more. She left us with a note though. I found it the day of her death. It says:

Dear Everyone,

Ellie, I miss you so much. Remember, you'll always be my best friend no matter what. I love you, Ellie. I'm sorry for coming to England and leaving but I had to. I'm truly sorry.

Mom, I love you so much. Don't worry about me and all of the money and stuff. It will get taken care of. I really love you.

Dad, I'm sorry about everything. What I did and how I did it. The fight and everything really sucked. I wish none of it had ever happened but it did. Don't' dwell on the past concentrate on the future.

Jeff, you were a great step-dad. Make sure mom is okay and take care of Toby for me. I miss you so much.

Toby, stay in line and I will, no matter what, be watching you so you better not do anything rash. I'll find out I promise.

Lastly, Craig. I love you Craig. I love you so much. You were the best person in the world. I'm sorry I couldn't take it. The pregnancy and everything. Don't worry, I need you and want you. You'll always be in my heart and remember Craig. You were the last person I saw and the best. I love you more than you all can image. I'm sorry.

I love and miss you all,

Ashley Manning."

Craig was crying now. She used his last name. They were going to get married. He loved her so much. He thought about dying to just to be with Ashley but he knew she wouldn't want that. He kept on living each day, remembering her every second. Loving her more and more.

A/N: Okay, writing that made me cry. Well, I know I rushed it and stuff and that'sa stupid ending but I'm sorry. I'll be posting more Crash and Ellie stories later.
