(A Emily and Kieran one-shot)

This takes place when Emily and Kieran were first dating!

Kieran and I were, going to have a little pinic lunch in the park today! We've been going out for a little over a month, and I have to say it's been pretty good! He's so sweet to me, and so caring. I see him at the picnic tables, and I wave. He waves back, with a huge smile on his face. The most adorable smile ever, in my opinion. "Hey baby!" Kieran said, when I got there. "Hey babe, this looks lovely." I said, looking at the spread on the table. "I have your favourites! Honey crisp apple slices, don't worry I washed it before I cut it." He said, so thoughtful. "Those veggie chips you like, some cheese sticks, and a granola bar!" He said, pointing at each thing. "Thank you so much, I really appreciate it." I said, sitting down. "Of course baby." He said, smiling. After lunch, we sat there talking, discussing what we wanna do after graduation. Kieran, played me some songs he was working on. I thought they were amazing, he's so talented, and deep. "Hey, I wanna do something for you." He said, standing up. He pulled a little knife out of his pocket, and walked around this big oak tree next to the picnic table. I followed him over to it, and saw that he was carving something into the bark. "There, what do you think?" He asked me, when he was done. When I looked at the bark, I saw the most romantic thing I had ever seen. Kieran had carved our initials inside a heart into the bark. "I love it!" I said, tearing up. "This way, everyone will know how much I love you." He said, kissing my cheek. "This is the sweetest thing, anyone has ever done for me." I said, kissing him back. "I'm glad you like it baby." He said, taking my hand in his. 

Fast forward to the future

I went to visit the tree today, it's been a year since I last saw it. The last time, I scattered my husbands ashes around the tree. But I thought it was time, to visit it again. When I saw the tree, I immediately felt the tears prick my eyes. But I blinked them back, pushing forward. I walked around to the back of the tree, and I saw the carving. I put a hand to the bark, and traced the outline of the heart, then our initials. K+E=Forever. One hand over my mouth, I cried while just staring at the tree. "It's still here my love, I still remember the day you made this." I whispered. "I thought it was so romantic, and I still do." I said. "I miss you so much, but I somehow feel better seeing this carving again. It's like your spirit is still here in some way." I said, tracing the heart again. "I'll always love you my rockstar." I said, then blew a kiss to the carving. I stared at it a little longer, then walked away. Perhaps Kieran's spirit was still with me, even if I can't see it. I feel it in my heart. I look up at the sky, and I whisper. "Hey Kieran's star, just wanted to tell you I love you, and I still feel your spirit with me. Shine bright my love." Then I walked home. 

The End
