Ali's POV

Time passed after all of that time travel fiasco, it changed.... To think i was so obsessed getting Jayden back when i didn't realize the consequences of it. I'm really stupid.

" Hey, Ali." a familiar voice said. I turned around.

"O-oh! Brendon! Hey..." I blushed. It's weird talking to Brendon still.

" Here you go. " He said as he handed me a bag.

"Huh? What is this?" I looked confused.

" Happy Valentine's Day." Brendon said.

"!!! I totally forgot!" I didn't realize it was today. There was so much in my mind i didn't think about the date today.

I felt bad. I didn't do anything for him. I stood there depressed as a failure to get my crush something. He noticed me sulking and then went up to me to hug me.

" Don't feel bad. You're overwhelmed with the recent events that happened." said Brendon.

" But we're not even dating, yet we act like a couple. So much for strict parents." i said.

" We just have to deal with it, it doesn't really bother me since.... it's mutual after all." He leaned in as he said that. I blushed.

" I still haven't gotten you anything...." i felt depressed. He looked at me for a second and then whisper into my ear.

" You're my present, that's what you gave me." he told me.

" W- Wa-" i said with a shocked face. I was red all over.

I took a moment of what Brendon said and then calmed down. All of a sudden i felt a shiver on my spine, like someone was watching. I turned around to see my stalker peeking out from a wall. I felt nervous. Brendon could tell i was uncomfortable and grabbed me.

" It's okay. I'm here." he said.

I looked at Brendon and gave him a warm smile.

" We're going to be in high school soon. Hopefully you grow a bit more." said Brendon teasingly.

"HEY! It ain't my fault my family's short!" i yelled at him. He smirked.

We stood there talking and kept on making each other laugh. It felt....nice.

Years Later

We're now seniors, about to graduate. No seriously, we're LITERALLY about to graduate. We already made our speeches and now it is time for our principal to say his final speech. Until someone interrupted.

" Excuse me! May i say something please?" someone said.

To my surprise it was Brendon. What is he doing!? The principal agreed to let Brendon talk and he stood up.

"I....want to say this to someone very important to me. She's been with me all these years. From elementary to now, right as we're about to graduate. I'm very grateful to her!" said Brendon. He then turned to my direction.

" Ali! We've been friends for so long now, but i want to tell you this..... Will you be my girlfriend?" asked Brendon.

I couldn't believe what i heard. Here!? You're confessing right now!? To think he would confess in the most embarrassing way is just.....UGH! WHATEVER! I stood up and looked at him.

" To think you'd do this now.... Why would i reject you here? You know the answer already! Of course!" i ran up to him and we hugged each other.

People clapped around us and you have no idea how embarrassed i was. I whispered at Brendon,

" You meanie..." i said. He laughed.

After all that, time passed and i'm 25 now. I was at a place that was overwhelming. Brendon was with me for this moment.

"Want to put these?" Brendon asked.

" yeah...." after i said that, he handed me a bouquet of flowers.

" Happy birthday Jayden. I hope you're doing well today." i said with a smile.

I still felt guilty letting him die like that.. i can't change it though. I need to leave him at peace to where the heavens are at, watching over him. I took a breather to be prepared to what i was about to say.

" You know i love you, right Jayden? I never wanted you to have this fate at all... I even tried to save you but only ended up making it worse. I'm sorry.... i learned my lesson..." I started crying, but with a smile.

" Keep having that smile on your face, alright?" i said.

Brendon comforted me to see if i was okay. After that, we were getting ready to leave....

" Ali...thank you. I love you so much, don't forget that..." i heard. I turned around to see Jayden. He waved at me.

I took a moment of what i heard, then smiled. 

" I won't."  i responded. I turned around and left with Brendon. I felt relieved hearing that....

The End

Creator's note

For a while, i didn't know the meaning of death at the time of the accident so i felt confused. When the funeral took place i look around, people grieving or in tears. And i...... didn't know what was going on. I was around six at the time....

As i thought about it, i never felt that he was gone from this world....because i felt he was alive, here. In my heart....

To be taken so fast at the age of 3 is too much. When i started working on this story, i cried... Right at this very moment i have the urge to cry while i'm writing this...

Jayden was such a outgoing kid. Always smiling, and so sweet.... It hurts me, even after 11 years have past....

I wish i can tell him everything.....Jayden, if there's some way i can tell you this.... I really love you..I really do....i wish i can show you how many emotions are going through me right now.. We miss you...We'll always will...
