I slowly opened my eyes to fluffy white clouds in the blue sky. The sun warmed my skin as I lay naked in the soft grass. Suddenly a face I knew all too well appeared in front of me with a wide smile.

“Hi Ellie” I looked at that smile shining brighter than the sun and couldn't help but offer a sad smile back.

“Hi Emy” I didn’t feel like moving or doing much. I knew this was a dream or something like that as I died. 

“I love you Ellie” I couldn’t help but tear up as I heard those words. 

“I love you to Emy” I had to force the words out as I felt my throat closing up. 

“Do you want a second chance Ellie” Her smile never disappeared as she looked at me. 

“I don’t deserve one, Emy” She frowned for a second before smiling again.

“Everyone does, Ellie” She took my hand in hers.

“Say can I kiss you, Emy” Her cheeks became rosy as she nodded. 

If this was a dream before my death, at the very least I want to garant her wish. In her letter she wanted to hug me, hold my hand, kiss me. She wanted me to be hers so I will be. 

With my free hand I cupped her cheek before moving upwards until our lips met. Her lips were soft like marshmellows and just as sweet. I felt happy, I didn’t deserve to but I felt truly happy. After our lips parted, silence fell until Emy broke it. 

“Let's go, Ellie” her smile became a sad one.

“Where? Emy” I felt a confused

“To our second chance, Ellie” She said as she looked to the side. Pearly white portal-like thing had appeared a few meters away from us. 

“This time I promise I will make things right, Emy” said while smiling.

“I know you will. This time, we will be happy, together, Ellie” Her sad smile became a happy one again. 

“We will” I said as I gave her hand a light squeeze. “No matter what happens, no matter where we end up. I will be by your side, Emy and I will always love you”

“I know Ellie, I will always love you as well” She closed her eyes as she leaned on my shoulder while we walked into the portal hand in hand our bracelets with each other's names tangled never to be apart again. For our love had been redeemed.

So I just wanted to say that I cried a lot while writing this. The fact that I had the great idea to put the saddest instrumental I could find didn't help. On another note I might make more short stories like this one in the future... maybe not as sad, I don't want to cry again... or maybe I do. Either way thanks for reading bye bye.
