In almost every love story I read, somehow it always has a happy ending. But in my story, it's just the opposite. It's like the Romeo and Juliet story, where you think they're going to stay together forever, but in the end they die. [REVISED & COMPLETE]

--------------X---------------X-------------

There's actually another day that I will never ever forget. Just when my one true dream became real, it suddenly turns out to be my worst nightmare. When everything finally started to make sense, it all turned out to be confusing again. I woke up early the next morning, I couldn't really sleep, too excited to see Eli. I took a shower and changed into some clothes, a pair of denim jeans and baby blue 'Oneil' tee-shirt. It was too early to go to school so I decided to call Eli. I dialed his number and waited for someone to answer. It kept on ringing, I thought he was still sleeping so then I hung up. I went to the kitchen to have a bite of breakfast. My whole family was up, they always wake up early.

"Wow! You're up early!" my dad said.

"Yeah Kayla, why are you up so early?" my mom asked.

"Well I couldn't sleep." I said

"That's a first!" Lane started to say, "You usually sleep like a little baby." She continued while giggling.

"Whatever!" I said and started to laugh.

"Well I got to go to work, see you lovely ladies later." My dad said as he kissed each one of us.

"I have to go too! You clean up ok?" my mom said as she was leaving.

I sat at the dining table were all the food was. 'Yum food!' I thought to myself. In the middle of my meal, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. I turned to my sister, "What?"

"Where did you go yesterday?" she asked with a smile as if she knew about me and Eli.

"Out! Why?"

"Who did you go out with?"

"Friend."

"Friend or boyfriend?" she asked as her eyebrow lifted.

"Who told you?" I asked a little surprised. I knew she would find out sooner or later.

"No one had to tell me, remember I sense this stuff. Oh and Loraine came by to drop by your present." She said as I continued to eat. "So are you guys together or what?"

I blushed a little thinking we were officially a couple. "Yeah, I guess!" I said as I finished my food and took my plate to the sink.

"I knew it, I'm happy for you." She said as she started to give me a hug. I hugged her back.

"You only knew because of Loraine." I said as we both started to laugh.

"Well I see you later sis, I have to go learn." I said walking to the door.

"Yeah, later."

I left and headed for school. I was very anxious to see Eli. I walked into the campus looking for him, but I couldn't find him anywhere. It made me a little sad. I saw Loraine and went up to her.

"Hey Loraine!"

"Kay! What's up? How did yesterday go? Was it fun? What you guys do?" she asked all in one breath.

I started to laugh at her. "Yesterday was fun! He took me to a lot of places."

"Aww...how cute!"

"By the way have you seen Eli?" I asked with hope.

"Nope, he hasn't come yet. He's just probably late, don't worry about it."

I smiled at her and we continued chatting till the bell rang. I told her every detail about yesterday. When we were walking to our locker, I remembered that Eli still hasn't showed up. I didn't let it get to me though. I went to my English class. During the first few minutes I looked to the empty desk to my right. 'Where could he be? He doesn't live that far from school.' That's when I began to worry. The teacher told us to write an essay on who we admired most and why. There was no doubt in my mind that Eli was the one who I admired most. I started to write, it started to fill one page, then two pages. I had so much to write about him.

In the middle of class, the principal and two officers came into our classroom. That's when I knew something was terribly wrong. The principal was talking to the teacher silently. By the looks of it, the news was bad, something horrible has happened. My teacher covered his mouth and he started to shake his head. For some odd reason, my teacher looked at me. It had to do something with Eli. I felt my heart start to beat faster, very scared to hear the news.

The principal started to talk, "Class we have some bad news." She looked around at all of us, and then she continued. "Eli Ramirez..." my heart started to beat faster, I could feel it pounding against my chest.

The principal hesitated to finish and my teacher was still looking at me.

"Eli Ramirez just died this morning." The principal finally said.

The whole roomed gasped in shock. The room became dead silent. I closed my eyes in disbelief, trying to make sense of all this information. Thoughts racing in my head, tears already were flowing down my face.

"He was in a big car accident last night. The man that hit him was very drunk, he is still in critical condition but still alive. Eli was also in critical condition but he didn't last that long." The principal continued to say. "I'm sorry!"

I started to cry even more, feeling weaker and weaker. I could feel everyone staring at me. I felt my body become numb and I fell off my chair. My teacher ran to me and so did the principal and everyone else. My teacher was holding me up.

"NO...ELI!" I started to scream out loud. I kept calling out Eli's name, making sure this just wasn't some cruel joke everyone was in on except me. But it wasn't, it was a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. My heart was filled with a great deal of pain, it hurt so much. I put my hand over my heart to try to calm it, it ached, and it ached for Eli. The only person that could ever take away this pain was Eli, but Eli was now gone. I started to cry even more and it felt like I couldn't breathe, Eli was my air but it was taken away from me. I felt I was about to die.

My teacher picked me up and he carried me to the office. He put me down on a chair, he was talking to me.

"I'm going to call your house to see if anyone could pick you up. I'll tell one of your friends to take your stuff and your car to you house."

I just sat there with my knees to my chest and my head on my knees. I felt so alone without Eli.

'What do I do now? He's gone! My reason for living! What will I do without him?' I thought to myself.

A few minutes later my sister arrived. She ran to me, "Kayla, I'm so sorry."

"Lane!" I said as I gave her a hug, holding her tightly. All I needed right now was a hug.

"Why him Lane? Why Eli?" I cried onto her shoulder.

"I don't know Kayla, I don't know." She said. "Come on let's go home and we'll talk."

I nodded and she helped me up. When we got home, she took me to my bedroom. She told me to lie on my bed.

"I miss him so much." I said still crying a few tears. "I'm never going to see him no more."

My sister didn't know what to say. She sat there next to me comforting me. I felt tired, from all the crying and the pain. I stretched my arm to get the frame that Eli gave me for Christmas. I held it close to my heart to try to stop the pain. Closing my eyes, reminiscing all the times I shared with him. And soon enough I fell into a dark deep sleep.

-------------------------x--------50---YEARS---LATER---------x-------------- --------

Back to reality, I still miss Eli very much. Through the long years, I have never forgotten about him. He was my one true love. I told you it was like a Romeo and Juliet story but I didn't die, he did. Dreams soon become nightmares!
