Short Story for English.

She gazed up at the midnight sky, remembering that night she spent laying in his arms. Her fingers fiddled with the pale blue scarf that draped delicately around her neck. They stumbled upon the golden chain of her necklace. She clung onto the heart shaped locket as if it was the only way she could make connect with him. She sharply looked to her left. It was like he was calling to her, but it wasn't possible. The infinite cold December wind danced around her. Snow delicately caressed her skin like his fingertips once did. She whispered his name into the empty air, hoping, praying that by some possible miracle of a chance she could be with him again. Images flashed through her mind. That senior trip along the coast of Florida, his smile, the first Christmas she spent wrapped in his arms. He warmed her. He was her life, her song. She sat down on the icy tree stump. Flash backs still dictating her mind. She saw him. She could feel his hands brush her neck as he closed the clasp of her necklace. He dropped the chain yet his fingers still lingered. She remembered that moment, looking into his bright blue eyes, wishing that she could spend forever in his embrace, but like all good things, it ended. She snapped herself back into reality and pulled her jacket over her arms, threw the empty liquor bottle on the bed of snow and headed back to the warmth of her little cottage. She threw herself onto the bed, cursing his name as she went down. Where was the moon that he had once promised her? He promised her forever. The end of forever was sooner than she thought. Slowly, but surely the alcohol got the better of her and she fell asleep, clinging to his photograph for sweet life. He was the only thing that kept her alive, he was her only hope. She could see the lights of the cars, she could hear that screeching of breaks, the blood curdling screams. She could see him, laying there motionless, breathless. She could feel his dead cold hands. She hear his heart beat.
BOOM...BOOM BOOM.....BOOM.........BOOM..............BOOM...........BOOM........................... BOOM.... silence. “Forever” he sighed with his last breath. She could feel the sticky, warm blood seeping through her clothes. She screamed. “ You promised me forever! You promised me.” The taste of salty tears stung her lips as she threw herself to the ground. “ You promised me! You promised.”
