3 years later.....

Time heals all wounds and life goes on.....but not for everyone. For people like James Andrew Scott, they are still living in the past. Still replaying the moment everything was lost. For people like James, it doesn't get better. It keeps getting worse. They get hunted in their dreams, they live in the same old house and look at the same old pictures while remembering the same old memories. They never move on.

The only reason James is still breathing, is because he knows that we take the same souls with us when we die.

Death isn't the end.

The same heartbreak will go with you after crossing the line.

Death doesn't change anything if it's the same soul that cares the same scars.

There is no answer.

And it's pointless to find meaning.

That is how James felt. He couldn't see the light glimmering at a distance. He couldn't comprehend Betty's urge to see him do better in life. He forgot that Betty would've wanted him to be happy. He forgot that Betty loved him to much to blame him for anything he didn't do. He completely forgot how to keep on living.

He would often talk to the walls as if she was there. He'd stare at her pictures all day long. He would tell her everything. Even the Little things because if she was alive then he would've done that. "I miss you so much." He would break down. "I wish you never left me. There are nights I want to cross the thin line and join you on the other side but I'm terrified of hurting you again so I throw my knife away. I want to hold you so much that my heart aches everytime I feel the urge to embrace you. I miss your voice. I can hear you calling for me in the distance sometimes and I turn around each time you call. Give me a sign. Show me you are here with me. I feel so alone, I'm tired of feeling alone. The emptiness is killing me. I can't breathe without you. I can't live. I love you and won't ever stop. When I close my eyes and concentrate hard enough I get to feel those soft hands on my face, I get to smell your sweet scent. I just want to touch you again. Even if it's just once, I need something to hold onto forever. Speak to me. Reach out to me. Hug me......please could you hold me Betty? Hold me once and I'll stop begging for death to take me sooner than now. I would give up everything if it meant I could see those beautiful eyes again.

"I miss long beach and I miss you. I miss living with you the most of all. I miss those nights we would talk until morning about our future. I miss seeing you on a sundress. I miss breakfast in bed and I miss our son. I can't even see him, I'm not allowed to. If you can hear me, I need a wake up call. Whisper anything and I'll leave this life. I can't wait to be signing off."

As for Enos' and Hayes, life went on. But nothing was ever the same. Without Betty, there was always an empty feeling in their hearts. There was an important peace that was messing. And for a child like Hayes, he felt the loss. He was just better than his father when it came to dealing with it. Enos was more lost than he ever was. But he tried so hard to raise Hayes the best way he could. He loved that boy with every inch of his heart. The pain was bearable because he had his son. He could do it Everyday because Hayes was his strength.

Inez was found dead in her Austria apartment a couple of months after that. She shot herself straight in the skull. There wasn't a note. She left nothing behind. Nobody grieved for her, she didn't have anybody.

Mister Andrew Scott , being the cold hearted man that he was, didn't even bother to bury his daughter. It hurt him that he lost a child, but not enough to claim the body. He tried contacting James, he loved him dearly, and everything he ever did was for him. All his assets were under James' name. But James denounced his family a long time ago. So technically, Andrew Scott had no children. All his efforts didn't mean anything without his son. As a result, he sold all his assets and offered billions of donations before he disappeared from the world.

He retired and moved to Malibu. He took back his house , the one he lived with his dead wife. He stayed there, spending the rest of life remembering how life used to be.

William and Lucy got married in Spain. They had a daughter, her name - Bella. They heard about Betty's death on the news years ago. James was very influential at the time that news of his woman's death spread like hell fire. It was a painful loss for William, Betty was his best friend, his soul sister, he never forgot about her. He looked for her but stumbled on dead ends all the time. He came to find her again at the day of her funeral.

Betty's family was in the dark. They never knew that Betty died. It's like she never existed and nobody bothered to search for her over the years. In the end, Betty's fears proved to be true. Her family were the least people to care.

But her story remained in the stars. The good thing about the universe is that no information is ever lost. And even through the greatest stories and books of all time where never written, atleast Betty's story found a home in the skies.
