Slipping Away
Epilogue Part 2

||1 Year Later||

�Jesse I understand that it has to be hard with the tour and all, and I am here for you! You have to remember that!� Nicole said over the phone. �Okay, well I will be home soon.� Jesse sighed turning off his phone as the limo stopped at the main gate of Washington Cemetery.

He opened the door and climbed out with the same stone face he�d had for the longest time now, he couldn�t remember the last time he smiled.

Zoe Pierson
May 15, 1987- October 7, 2002

Jesse kneeled down and placed a bouquet of 12 dozen white roses in front of the grave. �Hey Zoe, it�s me Jess. I brought you flowers, you know the white roses I promised to bring you on your 16th birthday.� Jesse said tracing her name with his fingers, feeling connected with her once more.

�I miss you Zoe, but I�ve done what you wanted me to! Her name is Nicole, she is a sweet girl! I feel a little bad, I don�t know if I treat her the way I should! I think I take her for granted, like I use to you!� he said rubbing the back of his neck. �I just want you to know I love you Zoe!, forever!� he said. A loud honk coming from the limo broke the sweet silence and serenity of the moment, Jesse turned to look and turned back to her grave once more.

An envelope he hadn�t noticed before rested nestled into a patch of fresh green grass.

Jesse

Jesse  opened the envelope to see what was written inside.

I will always love you Jesse
<3-Zoe


Jesse slipped the letter into his back pocket and made his way back to the limo. �Where to Mr. McCartney?� the driver asked. �Can we stop by Nicole�s house?� he asked shutting the limo door.
