All That Remains is Love

By Robin Hebberd

What would you do if you knew that someone you love was doing something that could hurt them? Ivy has loved Ian for as long as she can remember. They are so intertwined that they even share the same friend. But then one day Ivy learns that Ian has started to use drugs with his friends. Should she speak up, and tell Ian how she feels about what he is doing? Should she tell someone else? Or does she just let him do whatever he wants? Better yet, can she live with the consequences if she does not speak up?

This is a story of two teenagers and the decisions they make. Sometimes the outcome that we make last longer then the time it took us to decide.

Chapter 1

I can't believe that I remember that day so clearly. It seems like it was just yesterday instead of 15 years ago. Would I have done things differently that day? Would I have done something to make you stay? Would you have stayed if I had asked you to? Would things be different today if I could change the fact that you left me on this day 15 years ago? Would you have wanted to stay?

I have a lot of would have’s, but no answers to my questions. I’ve changed. My life has changed. The world has changed. But Ian, would you have stayed with me if I had asked you too? So many questions and no one can answer them for me except you. But you are not around for me to ask, and I have lived with the guilt ever since you left.

It’s that type of guilt that eats away at you. The type that’s deep inside you, and grows until it controls you and destroys your life. You know that type Ian, and I know you did not mean for me to have that guilt. But I do, and it is time for me to tell you about it. It has taken me a long time to come and tell you about it. Now I am standing before you, and ask that you just listen until I am done telling you all that I have to say. Just please listen so I can get rid of this guilt, take hold of my life, and no longer feel like I should have done things differently; not only that day, but also years before that.

I thought we had a great future ahead of us. We were going to venture out into the world and concur whatever we set our minds too. I still remember sitting at the top of the hill above the neighborhood talking about what we were going to do with our lives. It had been a hot summer day, and we had just ridden back from the lake. We had stopped to take a cold drink from our water bottles, and having a small snack of some watermelon chucks. When you turned to me and asked if I thought we were ever going to leave this town. I told you we could do anything we wanted, and I knew that we would. I could not think of one person who would have argued with us about this. Both of us were smart, cute and stubborn kids. Once we put our minds to something, we were determined to get our way.

We were supposed to grow old together. We had plans to spend the rest of our lives together. You meant so much to me. You were my shoulder to cry on. You were the one who made me laugh when
