Chapitre 140: My Beloved.
(The day before the meeting.)
Ian stood in front of a grave.
"Hey!"
"How long has it been?"
"5 years, I think? The last time I was here, was when they buried you here."
Ian sat down on the ground facing the headstone.
[Here lies a beloved daughter, sister and a dear friend.
Born 19 August 20XX
Died 19 August 20XX
Eleanor Alison Greene
Age 13
"Don't grieve but rejoice, that I left you with precious memories." - Eleanore Alison Greene ]
He had a bouquet of white lilies on his hands.
Placing the bouquet in front of the headstone, Ian continued with a sad smile on his face.
"I bought your favourite flowers, the lilies for you!" Said Ian, before he fell silent.
After a minute, Ian spoke up.
"After you left, I had gone through a very rough patch, you know? Going around looking for a fight, was a bit suicidal. Honestly, I thought a life without you by my side wouldn't be a life worth living for."
"I almost killed some bullies. I don't know, I couldn't just stop. Lucky for them, if it weren't for the captain passing by I would have killed them."
"I got my ass beaten by the captain, of course, I won in the end but he beat the crap out of me! Then with all the others in the club joining up, roughed me up so badly I was hospitalised for 2 months."
Ian's whole body shivered, remembering the beat down his club mates and the captain did to him.
"Captain, he is really scary!"
"Then I met your twin, she finally snapped at me after months of silent treatment."
"But really, if it weren't for her. I would still be a mess and wouldn't have been recovered from that state. Do you know what she said?"
"With one hand she held my collar and with the other, she slapped me a couple of times. Then she said, 'Didn't you promised to live for her sake! Then live, live for her sake, you idiot! If you feel guilty for all that happened, live the life she could have lived for her sake. Its what you owe to her!'. Crazy! Right?"
"That snapped me out of that rough patch. You two sisters are so similar!"
"Speaking about your sister, she is a renown artist now. Do you know that? She finally decided to pursue her dreams and she succeeded. She makes more money than me now with a single commission hers. Her paintings sell a lot in auctions. She is regarded as a genius and is compared to many renown famous artists of the past."
"..."
Ian stopped speaking.
He stared at the name on the headstone for 10 minutes before he closed his eyes.
Ian tried to recall all the memories he could remember with Eleanore.
An hour later, after reliving all the memories Ian opened his eyes.
"So I should start from the begin, eh?"
"You see, I was getting late for practice and was running to the gym. Then I crashed onto someone, who knew from then on my life would turn upside down. Hahaha!"
Ian started telling everything from the beginning, how he met with the Blood siblings.
How he started training under, Aurora.
How he became a great friend to them.
How he found new people by his sides, friends just like Eleanore.
How he got beaten up by gangsters and almost thought he will lose Aaron just like Eleanore.
How he later joined a secret organisation created by a bunch of teen high schoolers.
How he seriously learned to fight for his friends so he could protect them.
How he became a millionaire by handling the security and getting his earnings from the secret organisation Nameless.
He spoke of everything from the start, didn't left a single-story no matter how small and trivial it was.
By the time he finished, it was getting dark.
He arrived at noon, now it's evening.
The sun is setting beyond the horizons.
After finishing, Ian fell into silence once more.
"I miss you, Nora. I miss you so much! It's hard for me, I'm still living as I promised for your sake."
"This emptiness in my heart and soul, it doesn't go away! Even after I have the gang beside me, I'm still at a loss."
Tears were trickling down, Ian's eyes.
As he stares at the name on the headstone of his best friend who was also his girlfriend.
"See? That's why I didn't want to come here. Because I didn't want you to see this crybaby sight of me."
It took a few minutes for Ian to calm down before he got up.
"I- I don't know. I don't know what might happen to me, Nora. I joined a dangerous organization. Who knows I might die and come find you? Hahaha!"
"If you were here, you would have said I joined because I want revenge right? Well, that is part of the reason. But truly, I like them. I genuinely consider them my best friends. After what happened with Aaron back them, I found another reason to live beside the promise I made to you. They are my family, I want to protect them with everything I have."
"I-I'm trying, to m-move on. I don't know, will I ever be able to move on or not. But I'm trying!"
"..."
"I guess this is it."
"The next time I come back here, I might become your neighbour, haha! Jokes, aside I will bring the gang here next time so you can meet them."
"I wonder, Nora! Can you see me? I heard from Aaron that a part of one's soul is left behind in the grave before they go to Paradise or Hell! Surely, you are in Paradise. After all, you were an angel helping everyone in need. You even gave up your life for me..."
"If you can see me, can you do some signs or anything? Just to let me know that you're here? Please!"
"Anything?"
"..."
"Well, I guess. Our universe is quite normal."
"Wish me luck, Nora! I will come back later, bye!"
Ian turned around and started walking to leave the cemetery.
He will blabber on endlessly if he stays.
So he decisively turned back and started walking.
Suddenly, he heard a faint voice call out to him.
He turned back but didn't saw anyone here besides himself.
He creased his eyebrows in confusion.
"???"
Shaking his head, Ian started walking once more to leave the cemetery.
But Ian failed to notice that the bouquet of white lilies he placed in front of the headstone, disappeared.
