I had to admit, I never thought I could love someone else like Miley. For so long I felt alone, hurt. I never knew Kim could make me so happy after feeling so dead. I may have even loved Kim back in my early years of high school, but at the time I didn't know what love was.

"It's beautiful out. I can see all the stars from here." Kim said quietly. We were currently taking a stroll through the park, we were hand in hand. It was perfect out, I could feel a soft breeze go through my hair.

"Yeah, I like getting away from the city." I said staring up into the sky. I felt Kim stop walking and she led me over to a bench. We sat down and continued to hold hands.

"We haven't been seeing each other a lot lately. I've missed you." She said softly kissing me on the lips. We continued to kiss, and I slowly lowered her onto the bench. The kiss started to heat up, I felt her tong slide into my mouth. After a few minutes she slowly pulled away and we went back to sitting on the bench. She rested her head on my shoulder.

"I know, basketball is almost over so we will be spending a whole lot of time together." I said smiling.

"Good." She said snuggling closer to me. At this moment I realized something. Kim and I have dating for about 3 months now, she always told me she loved me. However I never said it back I would only smile or kiss her.

"Kim." I said feeling a bit nervous. The last person I ever said I love you to, in a romantic kind of way, was Miley so many years back. "I love you."

"You do?" Kim asked sounding a little shocked. I gave her a small nod. A large grin spread across her face. I couldn't help but smile too. I felt her lips press against mine. All of a sudden I felt her pull away. I opened my eyes to see a man holding her. He was holding a knife to her throat.

"Let her go!" I screamed standing up.

"Step any closer and she dies." The man said holding the knife even closer to her throat. Kim stopped struggling at this.

"Stop, what do you want?" I asked panicking. I couldn't lose Kim. I couldn't make out who the man was he was wearing a black mask over his face. Before he could answer police sirens could be heard. He quickly stuck the knife in Kim's stomach and ran away. I ran over to Kim the second he let go.

"Kim, Kim look at me." I said tears forming in my eyes. No, no this couldn't be happening.

"Lilly, I'm fine." She managed out. My eyes went from her face to her stomach, blood was everywhere. I choked back tears, I had to stay strong.

"Over here! Help please! She needs help." I screamed at the top of my lungs. I ripped off my shirt and carefully wrapped it around her stomach hoping to stop most of the bleeding.

"Lilly, I love you." She said quietly. She was breathing heavily.

"Kim please, god no. You can't leave me, I love you so much. I can't live without you, please help will be here soon. You're going to be fine, please don't leave me." I said tears now racing down my face.

"Lilly promise me you'll find somebody else, someone who treats you right. Please be happy for me." Kim choked out.

"Stop talking like that, we're going to be together forever. Tomorrow after you're better we're going to get married. Then we'll buy a house together and have kids, well you know some how. Then we can tell them this story, we can laugh about it, well not laugh it's quite terrible. But we'll use it to scare them when they go out on dates…" I babbled on still crying. I felt Kim's finger slide onto my lip.

"Lilly, I'm dieing. I'd love to marry you, but I'm not going to make it. You're the only person I'd want to have kids with. Lilly, I love you. Please find someone else. I'll always be with you…" She said slowly closing her eyes.

"No! Kim come back, no!" I screamed. By the time the ambulance arrived it was too late, Kim was dead.


I couldn't go to the funeral, I was dead. I wasn't the same anymore. My heart was finally completely broken. I couldn't go back to teaching, not yet. I drowned myself in alcohol. The only time I left my apartment was late at night to get more alcohol. I lost track at 46 messages from my mom begging for me to answer, and 67 from Jackson. They came by numerous times in the past five days, I couldn't bring myself to answer the door.

I was startled by someone knocking on the door rather loudly. I yelled a go away like I normally did. Whoever it was continued to knock louder and louder. This wasn't helping my current hangover. I cursed as I sat up. I slowly made my way to the door and opened it not bothering to check who it was. If I currently didn't want to get hit by a truck I'd be surprised to see Miley Stewart at my door, but I just didn't care. I waved for her to come in. I went back to sit on my couch. I watched her close the door as I popped open another beer.

"Want some?" I slurred. As I was about to drink it Miley snatched the bottle away from me.

"Get your own." I yelled angrily. My eyes wondered to a bottle of beer lying on the floor. I went to grab that but Miley quickly kicked it away. "What do you want Stewart?"

"Lilly what are you doing? Here you are five days in a row drinking, Lilly you're killing yourself." She said sounding concerned. I snorted at this. Why would Miley Stewart care about me?

"Like I care." I said while staring at the ceiling.

"Well some of us do. Your mother, Jackson, me, and the kids you use to coach. Kim wouldn't want you to act like this." Miley said sadly.

"Don't say that name in front of me. Never fucking speak of her again." I yelled.

"Lilly I know it hurts but you have to pull yourself together. For Kim, your mother, Jackson, and me. We all love and care about you." She said slowly placing her hand on mine. Kim wouldn't want me acting like this, Miley was right. I slowly nodded and mumbled a yeah.

"Good now how about you wash up and we'll go out for lunch?" She asked while helping me up. I nodded.

It was true I had to feel better. Not just for me but for Kim. I did make her a promise.
