Hey guys. Well, since most of y'all wanted an additional chapter, I went a head and gave y'all one! It's inspired by a song called "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt. Hope y'all like it!


He kept calling her. Over and over again. But she wouldn't answer. He had received a letter from her a week ago. A sad letter that announced the end of them. He knew it was going to end, he knew it before they started dating. He was Derek and she was Casey. She would always be too good for him. But, he had to date her. He had to have a chance at least. She meant the world to him and that's why he had to let her know that no matter what or how far he would be there for her always. If she only cared enough to hear.

He thought back to everything they had been through. All the memories. All the things they shared. She had seriously touched his heart and soul and made him feel alive. If it wasn't for her his life would be nothing like it was. He would have never gone to college and had the chance of being picked up by the Canucks.

He remembered kissing her lips and holding her hand. She always had the softest lips that tasted like vanilla lip gloss. And her skin was always smooth. He loved to draw circles with his thumb on her wrist.

He had shared his dreams with her and they had given their virginities to each other. He knew her better than she knew herself. He had been addicted to her. He had seen her cry and smile, watched her sleep and was amazed by her. He knew her fears and she knew his. He would have been the father of her child and spent a lifetime with her.

His phone buzzed and he dared not hope he had gotten lucky and she finally replied. His phone flashed "Message from: Casey" and he couldn't read it fast enough.

Goodbye my almost lover, goodbye my hopeless dream. I'm trying not to think about you, can't you just let me be? So long my luckless romance. My back is turned on you. Should've known you'd bring me heartache, almost lovers always do

He read it three times. He couldn't believe she thought of his as an "almost lover." Like what they had was not real. He had to get her back some how, it wasn't fair to either of them. But he finally decided to send one back.

I love you...I swear that's true. I can not live without you. Goodbye my lover...goodbye my friend. You have been the one...you have been the one for me.

He knew she wouldn't reply. But he still waited for an hour before giving up and deciding to go ahead and lay down for a nap before his afternoon practice on the ice.

He realized he was hallow without her. And in his sleep, he held her hand.


I know it's short, but....oh well! I am thinking about ending it here or maybe giving y'all another chapter...what do y'all think? Reviews are welcomed and LOVED!!!
