I'm so sorry for how long it has taken me to update and my excuses are pretty bad but it's mainly school making me so tired and I've focused more on my other story :( But this is the final chapter for Drunk Friends and my first fanfic so YAY me! Hope you enjoy x
Ash (P.O.V)
Still think you can win Mary-Lynette?
I heard her beautiful laugh behind me and laughed along side her. I slowed down a bit like I said when I heard her scream.
"ASH!"
I turned around just in time to see (through the downpour) Mary-Lynette get hit by a car. It felt like the world had stopped as she was moving through the air. I tried to move to catch her but my body was paralyzed.
No! I can't loose her…not now…not EVER!
MOVE!
I couldn't.
I thought of every moment I had ever spent with Mary-Lynette.
The first time I met her…her Mum's funeral…our first day of school…whenever we went to the cinema…every school day…her Dad's and Claudia's wedding…when we went horse riding…star gazing with her on the hill…
"MARY-LYNETTE!" I screamed as her body hit the pavement.
Suddenly I could move so I ran to my angel who was lying limp on the ground.
"Mare!" I sat down on the road next to her and lifted her head into my lap. "Mare please open your eyes…please." I whispered the last part and leant my forehead against hers.
It was still raining and the sound of it hitting the road pounded against my ears.
I could feel Mare's heartbeat as I pushed a bit of her hair back behind her ear. Tears were falling down my face as I grabbed my phone to call an ambulance. No signal.
"SHIT!" I screamed in anger.
There was no one around and no cars were coming. I looked around for the car that had hit her but it was no where in site.
The fucking bastard!
I felt Mare stir.
"Ash?" She whispered.
I stroked her cheek and leant into her ear.
"Yes baby?" I said in her ear so she would hear me.
I tried to hide the fact that I was crying but it didn't work. In that moment it was just me and Mare. No one else…just us.
It hurts… She said quietly.
I know baby…I know…I looked back into her eyes. Her lovely blue eyes that I fell in love with every time I looked at them. I'm just going to call for an ambulance but I have no signal so I'm going to have to leave you for a few minutes…but I'll be right back…
Mare shook her head slightly with her eyes shut tightly.
Please don't leave me Ash…
She looked up at me with fear in her eyes.
I have to Mary so I can get help!
Her eyes suddenly brightened.
Ash I could become a vampire…
I hid my face in the crook of her neck not liking where this was going.
Please change me Ash! That means we can stay together forever and we won't age plus I'll be strong and fast just like you are!
She was laughing slightly even though I knew she was in pain. I leant my forehead against hers and looked deeply into her eyes. The rain was stopping now.
"Are you sure? I don't want to do anything that you don't want to do."
I'm sure Ash.
I'm going to have to take some of your blood and you take mine. Is that alright?
She nodded.
I looked at her one last time and saw nothing but love in them then I leant into her neck and kissed the spot where her pulse was.
God you skin is so soft Mare.
"I love you Mary-Lynette Carter." I whispered against her skin before I bit her.
Mare (P.O.V)
"I love you Mary-Lynette Carter."
Before I could tell him how much I loved him I felt pain on my neck and then it was gone.
It was just like we kissed (without the pink haze). I was in Ash's mind, I could see all of his memories and feelings.
Ash…
Baby don't worry this will be over soon.
I love you so much!
I love you too!
I felt Ash smile both mentally and physically which made me smile.
Ash had put his jacket as a pillow for my head which was throbbing and I felt something warm pressed against it. Blood. When I tried to move my whole body ached and I had tears rolling down my face as well as some of Ash's which had fallen on my cheeks.
But Ash changing me helped with the pain.
My eyes were shut tight again. With the strength I had I held Ash's T-shirt in my fists and pulled him closer to me.
Don't leave me Ash…
Never my love!
I smiled at Ash's words. All too soon Ash pulled away. I held tighter to his shirt trying to bring him closer. I heard Ash chuckle lightly and I opened my eyes to see him sitting next to me.
"I promise I won't ever leave you Mary-Lynette." He stroked my cheek and I smiled gently at him.
He put his wrist up to his mouth and tore his skin open like it tissue paper. I looked away to avoid being sick.
Come on Mare, if you going to be a vampire you're going to have to get used to things like that. I said to myself.
I looked back and Ash was looking down at me with love and compassion.
"Are you sure?" He asked one final time.
I managed to roll my eyes at him. "Yes." I whispered (just about) confidently.
He picked my head up gently and led his wrist to my mouth but I move my face out the way at the last minute.
I won't hurt you will I?
Ash looked at me and moved my wet hair out of my face. You always have put others before yourself. He kissed my forehead. No, Mare I promise it won't hurt.
My eyes started to droop and Ash noticed this. He led his wrist to my mouth and this time I didn't move. I started to drink Ash's blood.
Jeez that's something I can happily say I never thought I would do.
Ash was giving me soft kisses all over my faces and whispering how much he loved me in my ear.
"Everything is going to be alright now Mare."
At first the blood tasted weird (kind of coppery) but eventually I got used to it and quite liked the taste.
"You're my perfect angel."
IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou
I felt my eyes droop again and Ash removed his wrist.
"You going to fall asleep now Mary but I promise I'll be with you when you wake up."
I closed my eyes and managed to whisper: "I love you Ash."
Then darkness overtook me.
Ash (P.O.V)
"I love you too."
I whispered to her just after she died in my arms.
I looked down at Mary-Lynette to see her looking so peaceful. She looked like she was asleep. I kissed her on the forehead.
Please wake up Mare…please come back to me…
I picked her up bridal style and carried her to the car. I put her in the passenger seat and did her seatbelt.
"ASH PICK UP THE PHONE!"
I jumped at the sound of my ring tone.
Flashback:
"Ash you have 12 missed calls!" Mare complained as she was flipping through my phone.
"And the point is…?" I asked.
It was raining outside so we were hanging out in my bedroom. Mare was sitting on my bed while I was sat at my computer looking for a present for Jade.
Mare stood up and walked over to me and leant against the desk.
"What if they were important?"
"They weren't."
"They might have been and how come none of these are from me: Rowan, Jade, April, April, Kestrel, April…The list is endless but none of them are from me and most of them are from April."
I never missed Mare's calls because sometimes they were important and when they weren't I enjoyed talking to her. While April was the girl I had just dumped and she clearly didn't understand.
I banged my head on the desk. "When will she understand I don't like her."
"Why did you dump her anyway? Last week you seemed pretty close."
"She got too clingy for my liking."
Actually she said some horrible things about Mare. I told it was over on the spot.
"Well I understand why you ignored those calls but what about the ones from Rowan, Jade and Kestrel they could have been important."
"Well I just missed them." I scrolled down a list of DVDs Jade might like.
"Okay I have an idea." I turned to look at her.
"I don't like the sound of that Mary-Lynette Carter."
She smiled at me and my breath hitched. She started pressing a few buttons and then she screamed down my phone: "ASH PICK UP THE PHONE!"
I burst out laughing and fell on the floor.
"There you go that's your knew ring tone so that means you have no excuse to miss a call with the exception of a few crazy ex's."
I smiled at her and promised I wouldn't miss a message ever again.
End of Flashback
I laughed slightly at the memory and answered the phone.
"Hey Rowan." I sighed and looked at Mary-Lynette before moving a piece of her dark hair behind her ear.
It had been 2 days and Mary-Lynette was still changing. I was sitting on my bed where she was lying and stroked her soft hair.
Mark told her Dad that she was staying here for a few days so we could work on a project, we had to Mark the truth so he would go along with it. Well actually Jade told him seeing as their Soulmates but he took the news better than I expected.
When I first entered the house with Mare in my arms Kestrel, Jade and Rowan were a bit unsure of what to do but eventually we all decided that we would have to wait till Mare woke up so she could have a say in what would happen.
But I was losing hope that she would wake up. I lay down next to her and whispered in her ear.
"Please wake me up, please let me look into your eyes, please let me hold you and marry you and live forever together. Please."
I felt tears in my eyes and tried to blink them away. I heard someone knock on the door.
I looked up to see who came in: Rowan.
"Heya." She said quietly as she sat on the edge of my bed.
I sat up and grabbed the picture I had of me and Mary-Lynette on her 10th birthday.
"Hi."
Rowan took a deep breath before talking. "Ash I know you want Mare to wake up but maybe you should go downstairs for a bit or go for a walk to clear your head."
I shook my head. "What if she wakes up and I'm not here? I promised her that when she woke up I would be here with her."
Rowan looked down at Mary-Lynette, then at me. She had nothing but sorrow in her eyes. I knew what she was thinking.
Mare isn't going to wake up.
"Ash I'm sorry." She whispered as she left the room.
I looked down at my Soulmate again and took her small hands in mine. I rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb and noticed the small Mare Ash that I had written on her hand in history.
I kissed her hand and then put it down again then stood up and looked at all the photos on my walls that Mare helped me decorate. Most of the photos had Mary-Lynette on them but the occasional one had me on it.
She's my life
Ever since we were 6 there was barely a moment when we weren't together during school and our free time.
I looked out the window and noticed it was already night time, the sky was clear and the stars were out. If Mare was awake she would have dragged me off to the hill which we both thought of as ours.
Mare loved the stars so much.
Loves…
I looked at Mare and had an idea.
I was sitting on our hill with Mare on my lap. Rowan and Kestrel thought I was crazy when I told her I was bringing her out here while Jade thought it was romantic.
I felt the tears in my eyes again when I looked at the stars and thought about all the times me and Mary-Lynette had sat here.
"Remember when you told me all those theories Mare? About what people thought the starts were?" I whispered in her ear. By now tears were falling down my cheek.
I can't lose her!
"My favourite one is how the stars are our loved ones who aren't here anymore looking down at us. You were so excited when you were talking about them that your arms were waving around like a mad person." I chuckled at the memory.
I took a deep breath and kissed Mary-Lynette on the forehead.
I love you
I looked back at the night sky and saw a shooting star. I closed my eyes and hid my face in Mary-Lynette's neck.
Please let Mare wake up! Please let Mare wake up! Please let Mare wake up!
I couldn't stop the sob that escaped my throat.
"Ash…" I yanked my head back to see Mare blinking her bright blue eyes sleepily at me.
I stroked her cheek. She had never looked more beautiful than in that moment.
"Hey…" I whispered at her while lightly kissing everywhere on her face.
"Hey." She whispered back just before I kissed her.
I love you Mary-Lynette Carter!
I love you too Ash Redfern!
