Happy Columbus Day! I have off today so that's why you're getting this chapter.
Anyways… guys this is the final chapter of "I Miss You", but another story is coming. I have three different stories, but I can't choose one. At the end of this chapter there will be a choice of three titles. Please choose the title that sounds the best. I'm only giving the titles because I don't want anyone stealing one of my FanFiction ideas.
Anyways on with chapter 13 of "I Miss You"
Lego House
Dear Dad,
It's been five years since you left this world. I know with all my heart that you are up in heaven with mom. How is it up there? It must be lovely; you're reunited with the one person you are able to love with your heart. How's mom? She's probably still beautiful as always and she must be happy that you're up there with her.
How have I been doing? Well let's just say that God has taken a liking to me. Haha, but really, my life has gotten a whole lot livelier, but I still want to say I miss you and mom. I really do miss my blood family, but would you be happy to hear that Max and I are engaged. Yeah, I know dad, it's a weird feeling, but it's also so powerful. It's just spending my life with one person may sound scary, but I'm spending with the person I have unconditional love towards, Max.
Every single day it's as though you're still here, but I look around and you're not. I know that you're gone, but I like this feeling. I feel as though you're on the verge between Heaven and Earth, just watching over me. It's like you're looking out for me. It's a very warm sensation. Thanks dad, I really appreciate it.
Even though I visit you every single day, I still want you here dad, but that's okay. As long as I know that you and mom are safe in the arms of God I'll be happy. So anyways this is my yearly letter to you dad. I know you'll never read this in person, but I have a feeling you're watching over me in heaven. I miss you dad.
Love,
Fang
"Good morning" I heard as I finished signing my name on the letter. I turned around and saw Max there, with groggy eyes and one of my old t-shirts on.
"Good morning to you too" I said as I got up to embrace my fiancé. "You hungry"
I felt her head nod with my chest as I clutched her tighter. Our embrace felt so empowering that I couldn't believe I could go one day without feeling her body close to mine. We went downstairs of my house and ate breakfast. It was a silent meal, but a comfortable silence.
I looked at her as she stabbed a sausage link with her fork. She smiled while chewing on the meat. I looked down and saw her engagement ring. It wasn't anything flashy, but a simple engagement ring. Ella and Nudge helped me pick it out for her. I would say Iggy too, but he was just messing around the whole time.
Speaking of Iggy, he and Ella are also engaged. He asked her to marry him not a few days ago. It was a small proposal, but he really planned it out. He asked her to marry him in front of a few family members and friends. I'm also pretty sure that he wanted to pressure her into saying yes, even though she would've said yes no matter what. They belonged together as much as Max and I. His proposal line was cheesy, but effective. It played and over and over in my head, he was happy and I was happy for him.
"Ella Martin, you have made me the happiest man on this entire planet. We've gone through thick and thin. You've stood up against me when we didn't agree, and it was admirable. You've fought through my tirades and frustrations. You've frustrated me and I've frustrated you, but we love each other so much that we can fight through it." Iggy paused and looked up at Ella's face; he smiled at her and continued. "I know that we've had many hardships, but will you Ella Martin take this ring and be my wife."
Ella said yes and we had an engagement party right then and there. Iggy really planned the whole entire thing out, even if he was rejected.
I felt something prodding my shoulder as my mind came back on earth. Max's eyes were looking at me, her face was tilted and examining my face.
"What's up?" She asked as she took a seat on my lap.
"Oh nothing."
Max shook my shoulders and demanded "Tell me now Nick Ride".
"Ok, ok. I was thinking of Iggy's proposal and how happy those two looked." She stopped shaking me and leaned back on my chest. We just sat there for a while before I got up.
"Nick Ride! Put me down this instant!" Max shrieked as I lifted her up fireman style.
"Nope" I said popping the 'p'. We got into my room and I placed her on the bed. I checked the bedside table, 12:24. I still have time. Max kept yelling death threats toward me as I ignored her. I grabbed my guitar and walked out of the door.
"Fang! Tell me where you're going." Max said as she followed me. I wouldn't tell her and kept walking towards the park. A few minutes passed with Max muttering about how she'll kill me in my sleep and about how she hated surprises. I kept walking past the playground and sat down on a secluded part of the park.
I found this about three years ago while taking a stroll around town to clear my head. This part of the park was connected to a small pond, not much was there but an old wooden dock. It was hidden because some tall grass had grown around the pond and most people wouldn't pass the grass.
It was a small place, fitting two comfortably. The pond's water reflected the sun's rays and the place looked beautiful.
Max's eyes bounced around the place and she looked speechless. I dropped my guitar at the dock and sat down. I patted the spot next to me and Max sat down too.
"How did you find this place?" Max said as a dragonfly zipped past her face.
"Oh you know, some adventuring." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Well it's beautiful, but why are we here?" Max asked me
"So I can apologize" I said while taking my guitar out.
"Apologize? Apologize for what?" Max asked, tilting her head again. Her eyes looked into mine with wonderment. My God she is beautiful. How was I so lucky that she is now my fiancée? Her eyes were perfect, her hair was perfect, she had the perfect personality, and she is just so damn perfect.
"For what I did years ago." I said looking down.
Max touched my face and said, "Fang I've already forgiven you. We're cool Fang, trust me."
"But I can't forgive myself for what I did to you. It bothers me every single day. I just don't understand how you can so easily forgive me, but I can't forgive myself."
"It's because I love you and you love me. That's how I tolerated it, and now I've forgotten about it. You're the reason I forgave you." She said as she got closer to me.
"I love you too, but maybe this will help me." I leaned in and kissed her soft, pale pink lips. We backed away and just smiled at each other.
"So are you going to sing or what?" Max asked while looking pointedly towards my guitar. I smiled towards her and started strumming. I just stared at her instead of closing my eyes and humming.
The words started to form on my tongue as I looked deeper in her eyes. She smiled at me, urging me to go on.
I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers and color you in
If things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
And I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
Don't hold me down,
I think my braces are breaking and it's more than I can take
And if it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I continued strumming and Max hummed along to the tune.
"Thank you Fang" she said once I finished strumming. I just smiled as we embraced each other.
I could die right now as long as I know that Max is with me.
"I love you"
That's a wrap guys. This is a short story, but that's how I envisioned it. This story was supposed to be a oneshot songfic, but I made it a thirteen chapter story.

Quote-a-Day
"There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story."
― Frank Herbert
There are no such things as a bad ending. There is no such thing as an ending. It's only a stop, forever how long; it will always be a stop. The stop is just waiting for someone to take it up and begin it again.
If you have a favorite quote, please tell me what it is. (If you haven't noticed yet, I'm a quote -heavy guy.)
