Capítulo 43: Goodbye

Vanessa Pov 1 week later

"Thank you all for coming, I'm sure Stephanie would have appreciated you all for coming," Alan says into the microphone. I didn't know how he managed to keep calm, I couldn't stop the tears all day. I kept thinking about what I promised her, I was meant to be there for her instead she was now six feet under. The story was that it was a freak accident, her parents were covering up what happened.

Being in LA was bringing back the bad memories, but it felt like it was my chance to say goodbye to this life before I began my new one. I knew I couldn't leave without saying goodbye to Stephanie.

*flashback to the lake*

"I told you I'm here, I'm never leaving you" I pulled him for a hug

"I forgive you, it wasn't your fault, you were just a kid that had a horrible life," I say into his neck

"I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you. I regret what I did. If I could go back and change what I did I would" he says

" I forgive you" I lied to him kissing his face.
