The whole day they went to various places like Disney World, Blizzard Beach, and Sea World. By that time it was almost dark so Val drove her and AJ to "their" beach. Its been their beach ever sonce Val moved here and they went exploring the first day. They stumbled upon it just walking through the woods and it had been claimed their "private exclusive" beach. Anyway they parked near the woods by their beach then Val pulled out a picnic basket that she had stashed in the back. They walked through the woods and came to the beach. Val set up the blanket and put the basket near by. They both laid down on the blanket next to each other watching the beautiful sunset. Just then at the same moment Val and AJ looked over at each other, they leaned in for the kiss. The kiss grew longer and longer and one thing led into another....(lol, you know what i mean.....) Afterwards they just laid there next to each other not saying anything except looking up at the night sky. After an hour or so of laying there in silence they both got up and headed back to the truck. They drove back to AJ's house where Val spent the night. The next morning AJ woke up to the smell of breakfast. He looked around and didn't see Val anywhere but in place of Val in bed there was breakfast for him and a note from Val. He picked up the note and opened it . It read:
Dearest AJ,
Last night was perfect hell yesterday was perfect. But here comes the hard part. Four months ago I went to the doctors after feeling very sick for 2 weeks straight, I thought it was a stomach flu. I was wrong. I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis which is a fatal disese, a genetic flaw makes your body produce a thick mucus which clogs up your lungs making you sometimes cough up blood. They say I was born with it but I never had the symptoms because I was in remission the whole 19 years I've been alive. Four months ago the doctor said I had a year to live. One month ago he told me that my body had sped up the process of deteriorating my lungs so mow I only have one or two months left for me to live. Everyday you called me, while you were one tour, I tried to tell you, but I just couldn't bring myself to it, your my best friend. What am I supposed to say that I'm gonna die soon? My one and only wish that I have had for the past year was to know the experience of loving you and to be loved by you..mind body and soul. Now I know that this wish of mine has come true. Now I can pass into the next world dying happily. Dying with the knowledge that you love me and that you are loved by me. Now I know this might be hard for you to believe...me sick? I know I don't look it, but I am. Which is why I left now. So you don't have to see me get ugly with the sign of death, but I want you to promise me that you'll remember my words of advice. Please don't regret loving me now because you might hurt when I'm gone. Please don't regret a thing that we have done and I know that you might be hurting when you read this letter, but please get over me, Just put me in the past, don't forget me, just move on. Find a nice girl, get married, have a few kids, and make sure you name one after me but please never regret a thing you have done or will do just live life to the fullest capacity and never shut people put of your life now promise me you will keep my words true to your heart, make my words your life motto. Promise?...Pinky?...good. Now please also promise me you will not try to look for me. Can you please let me try to die in peace. I have had my moment of happieness, the moment I had with you. So please be happy too and don't worry I'll be fine. I know how to take care of myself. I just you to take care of yourself. Remember..no worries. Worries just age you. Well I'm running late because fate is knocking on my door now. Always remember that I love ya lots and that I'll be watching you from above. Valerie
Half way through the letter AJ had started sobbing uncontrolably now the letter was soaked with tears and the ink was starting to smear. He didnt care he just wanted his one true love - Val. But she was gone forever. The next two weeks AJ just stayed in bed he didn't shower, he hardly ate and he never went to practice. He just laid in bed and watched TV. Then one day AJ was in the middle of "Days OF Our Lives" when Val floated into the room. "hey Freak, I'm kinda disappointed in you" Val said. "Oh my god Valerie Your alive" AJ said jumping up out of bed. "No. No I'm not I died a week after I left you the letter, but don't worry I died in peace" val replied. "If your dead now. How come you didn't have a funeral, how come no one notified me. How come your standing here talking to me." AJ hurriedly asked. "I didn't have a funeral because I gave my body to research, They were curious to know why I was in remission for 19 years. They said there had never been a case a Cystic Fibrosis that has been in remission. I gave my body to a noble cause, they might actually find a cause because of me." Val beamed. "Why did you have to leave me?" AJ cried. "More important, why did you break your promise to me? I made you promise no regrets, don't forget me and to move on with your life. We made a bond and until you keep your promise, your pinky promise to have a good life, I can't keep my promise, my promise to watch you from above. I can't keep my promise unless you keep yours" Val whispered. "Ok I'll keep my promise. If you keep a promise for me - Promise me that we'll be together again someday" AJ said. "Ok" Val responded. "Promise?" AJ asked "Promise" Val replied. "Pinky?" AJ questioned "Pinky." Val said and then vanished.
THE END
