The End of the Beginning

     Life begins and life ends. A young life was just lost. A young woman was just lost and her husband just found out. Her husband was devastated and in shock for two weeks and then the funeral date arrived. He went to that funeral and balled his eyes out. He loved her and he had just proposed, for a second time to renew their vows. They had been married after ten years and they wanted to renew their vows on their anniversary. They loved each other. He delivered a speech in front off all the guests and tears still streamed down his face. But for one split second he looked up and he thought he saw her, his wife. He looked twice as he still spoke, but she was gone. He thought he was seeing nothing and he kept speaking.
     But he DID see her. She was in danger because of a threat so she had to fake her death. She had a two police officers go to her house and tell her husband, and she had a realistic looking wax figure of her made to fake her death. No one wanted to see the body so it worked perfectly. She went into federal custody so she couldn't be harmed, and she couldn't tell her husband.
     After his speech he went to go see the spot where she was, and he found her. She was crouching down behind a tomb stone. She looked up at him crying and he sat next to her.
     "You are alive?" He asked in shock once again.
     "Yes, I am, I couldn't tell you because I am in federal custody because of a threat." She said laying her face into her hands.
    "It is okay." He said wrapping his arms around her.
    "No it isn't, I love you and I wanted you to know but they said if I told you, or anyone, you and I were at more risk. I just couldn't to do that to you." She said.
    "When I thought you died I practically died. I loved you, I still do, I always will. You are the amazing, smart, wonderful woman I married ten years ago. We will beat this threat and we will be together. Okay?"
     "Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked her blue eyes sincere.
     "Yes, I love you Jessica." He said his green eyes moving from her eyes to her lips, then he went for the kiss.
     "I love you too." She said looking him in the eye.
     Right after she told him she loved him they heard a gunshot. She knew it was for her and she was ready. She just kept her eyes on the tall, handsome man with the green eyes. The bullet went straight to her heart and killed her. He had no warning and all of a sudden he saw her dark red blood seep through her dress. She started to yell and hold pressure on her chest. But he knew, deep down he knew that she was gone. All of the guests rushed to them and they were shocked. Shocked by the person dead and who found her. Jessica's parents cried even more, and someone called 9-1-1. Life ends and life begins, we lose people and we love people. There is no in between for love and grief or end and beginning except life.
