~~-If the people we love are stolen from us,

the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them.

Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever-~~

"Brandon I think he feels that I'm here" she said as they walked along the cemetary for

JC's weekly trips there. Walking over to him she placed her hand on JC's face.

~~And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now~~

"God, I wish you could feel me, I know you know I'm here, JC" she continued as she carressed his face. He stood up and headed back to the Blazer.

JC pulled into the driveway and carried A'sa and Dante' in, he tucked them both in and said there prayers for them. He never let this one slide by, if they were awake they said them with him, if they were asleep he said them for them. Exhausted JC retreated back to his room. "Ashe why did you leave, There were so many things we needed to say to eachother" he sobbed into his hands.

"Tell me, JC I can here you," she smiled as she sat next to him placing her arm around him.

"God I love you so much, If I had only done things differently, You might still be here" he continued sobbing. "Ashe, why could'nt you see that we were meant to be more" he layed back on his bed, facing the wall.

Slowly he drifted to sleep, she crawled into bed with him like she did everynight now. Except tonight was different. "JC, I'm never going to leave you again," she spoke softly into his ear. She placed her hand on his cheek, and it suddenly appeared. "What is going on," she asked no one in particular. JC smiled under her touch. Rolling over he saw her. "Ashe," he questioned as he looked up at her. "Baby it's me," she smiled while tears ran down her face. Slowly leaning up he kissed her. She could feel the warmth from his lips, and eased into his touch. Pulling away she looked at him "I don't know how long this will last," she said with her head down. He placed his hand under her chin and just smiled at her. "I know," "Just be with me," he sighed as he began kissing her again.

~~And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight~~

She slowly moaned, as he moved his kisses from her mouth down her neck. He began carressing her as he slid his hands up her shirt. She undid his pants as he layed her back on his bed. She slid her hand into them as he moaned under her touch. Pulling her pants down he entered her. "God how I missed this feeling," he said into her neck. The night went on for what seemed like forever. The made love over and over again. Morning came and Ashe awoke. She kissed him on the nose as she whispered to him

"I know this sucks, but I can't stay" "Just remember, I love you, and I am always with you in your heart," "But please as much as it hurts move on, I'm gone and you need someone"

~~And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am~~

She pulled on her clothes and slowly made her way to her little girls room. "A'sa mommies here," she said as she kissed her on the forehead. "I love you baby girl, now you take good care of your daddy" she smiled as the little girl stirred in her sleep then awoke. "I love you mommy," she said. "I know baby girl but I can't stay," "Can I have one last hug though" she said as she fought back the tears. "Yeah," A'sa smiled as she hugged her tightly. Ashe tucked her back in, and walked out as she exited the room she turned to her "Bye my baby, mommies always here for you," with that she walked down the hallway and vansihed into thin air.

Later that day JC woke up, when he rolled over the memories of the previous night filled his head. Ashe had since reappeared and was perched on the top of a chair like a bird. JC reached over and grabbed his pocket knife. Slicing deeply into his arm. Blood trickled down his arm forming a pool at his feet. "JC don't" Ashe said as she moved to him.

~~And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything seems like the movies

Yeah you bleed just to know your alive~~

She screamed as loud as she could knowing no one could hear her. A'sa walked in the room and saw him bleeding. "Daddy whats wrong?" the little girl asked. JC grabbed the sheet and tore a peice off and put it on his arm. "Nothing baby," "Daddy just making sure about something!" he said picking her up and walking into his bathroom. He thought he'd dreamnt the previous night but wasn't sure. He wanted to make sure he was awake and alive. He still wans't sure is he'd seen Ashe until A'sa leaned closed to his ear and whispered "I saw mommy last night!" "She said she'll always be with us!" Ashe has followed htem to the bathroom to make sure he was ok. "Mommy will always be here!" she said as she kissed the little girls cheek.
