A few words from the author maria190
I just wanted to say that Will is perfect and he must return in a second movie and in a third book. So these are my thoughts :
I can't even describe how deep in my heart I have Will and Clark. Because Me Before You is not just a movie to me. Me Before You is not just a book to me. And I strongly believe that Will shouldn't go to Dignitas after all. And even if he did go to Dignitas as described in the movie and in the book, he loves Clark so deeply and she loves him too. And their love is beyond physical death. Because their souls are one forever. And they will always be together. As Will said to her in the movie letter: "I'll be walking beside you every step of the way". Because even if Will did go to Dignitas his soul didn't die. He didn't die. And that's why these two will always be together. No matter what. They are soul mates.
And I write stories about them because I want to show how their life could be if Will didn't do what he planned in Switzerland. Because they are supposed and meant to be together. And they will always be together. And I truly hope that someday we will see Will returning in a third book and in a second movie. And his comeback can be explained: The fact that he did do what he planned in Switzerland as they showing in the end of the movie and in the end of the first book and the events in the second book could all be explained as Will's or Clark's or someone else's of the characters imagination of what would have happened if Will would do what he planned in Switzerland.
Come on guys we never saw a funeral, we never saw his body. We just read and saw that he just went to Swiss. Went. And that he was in that bed with Clark where they were both so in love in that bed and then he asked her to call his parents in. So when his parents came in we don't know what happened. Millions of things could have happened. And we never read his point of view in the book. I really wanted his point of view in the book. But even if there was a funeral scene and a body in the movie and in the book it could also be Will's imagination and his version of what would have happened if he would do what he planned in Switzerland. He could change his mind at any point even when they were on Mauritius with Clark, or before that , when they started to be close with Clark and do all that stuff together , or even the last minute the day they were in Switzerland. The point is that when he changes his mind he starts to imagine what could life be after Switzerland and that's how we can explain the events in the end of the first book and the end of the movie and the events of the second book. Or he first imagined how life could be after Switzerland and then he changed his mind. In any case the events from the end of the first book and the events from the end of the movie and the second book can be explained. I love Will. You see? This can happen. His future return.
But it can also be Lou's or someone else's of the characters version and imagination of what would have happened. Fine by me as long as it turns out that he didn't do it. And guys, the titles Me Before You and After You , both have the word You which refers to Will.
It's ALL about Lou and HIM. So some more examples of my imagination of how Will's return could be explained: The crown prosecution announcement before the epilogue in Me Before You book could easily written before Will go to Swiss with already an afterwards date after what would happen in Switzerland and was written according to Will's and his parents' wishes {his parents' wishes I mean the part where their separation and Camilla's resignation from her work is mentioned. They could have decided before Will would go there that if and when he would do that, Camilla would resign and they would separate}.
But considering that Will didn't do it after all we can leave out the crown prosecution service announcement as they left it out anyway in the first movie and it was mentioned only in the first book. And also other things that were in the book as well were not in the first movie. And now as for Clark reading his letter in Paris …. Well that letter was written by Will before the Switzerland date and it was supposed to be delivered to Clark as it was planned to, because no one knew that Will would change his mind. And the letter arrived to Clark and she reads it and she cries because it's a letter full of love for her from Will.
So she reads it and when she goes to buy Papillons Extreme then she could have gone meet Will afterwards in Paris where Will awaits for her to show her Paris and until he meets her he is somewhere in Paris with Nathan who is helping him with his wheelchair -I know Will said to Clark in the castle scene that his wheelchair won't charge in a French socket but they could find a way and a proper charging socket- or she could have gone in Paris and Will waited for her in London because he wanted for her to see Paris and she kept the letter when it arrived to her and opened it there in Paris because Will wanted to open it there in that cafe. Or another possibility is that after he changed his mind, Lou doesn't go to Paris at all but she stills reads the letter because it was already written for her. And the sure fact is that they will move in together. A million of examples that can explain Will's return. Bottom line: there are many ways to explain Will's return in a second movie and in a third book. And as I said before : Will or someone else could be imagining life if Will do what he plans in Switzerland.
In the movie Georgina, the scene where Will helps out Lou in the maze and then their talk after that when he tells her his fears and she told him holding his hand what happened that night with these men at the maze, the tattoo scene, the wine taste scene, the part where Lou moves in with Will, the part that Patrick tipped off the news to the reporters about Will's decision for Switzerland, the broader "right to die argument" when she refers to other "right to die cases" that where in the news and the message board that Lou joins for people with spinal injuries searching for ways to convince Will to change his mind about Switzerland, when Camilla goes to find Lou and asks her to come back at the annex, Will's mother perspective and Will's father mistress are scenes that were left out but they were in the book.
Also other changes were made. In the book Lou except from the shave she also gives Will a haircut but in the movie Clark doesn't give him a haircut. She comes at the annex while he is with Nathan and sees his new haircut. When she shaves him in the movie he says that his mother will be so happy but Lou says they won't let that put them off , but in the book before Lou cuts his hair she said that his mom will be happy and he said they won't let that put them off.
In the book Louisa listens the talk that Georgina and Camilla have and accidentally finds out about Switzerland, but in the movie Louisa listens Steven and Camilla talking and accidentally finds out about Switzerland. In the book Clark is changing clothes at the annex and Will and Nathan say their opinion on what she is going to wear to the concert that she and Will are going and Will picks the red dress and tells her to take off the jacket and the scarf . But in the movie Clark is already dressed and she comes to the annex with the red dress and Will tells her to take off the scarf. Also when they are in that bed in Switzerland in the movie Louisa asks Will to tell her something good and he sings to her the Molahonkey song as she did for him that night with the snow when he was ill and he asked her to tell him something good.
But in the book Will asked her in that bed in Switzerland to tell him something good and then she told him the story about two people, about them - she says two people that they shouldn't have met but all she means is that they didn't expect to meet each other because they were so different, but as it turns out they are the same because they are soul mates - and she says that they didn't like each other at first – well they thought they didn't like each other - and she said that they are the only people in the world that can understand each other. And they are. So as these changes made from book to movie and some scenes where left out completely from the movie, then this can happen in the future: Will's return in a third book and in a second movie. And his return can be explained.
Will can be brought back. I believe that and I will continue writing stories about them. About Will and Lou. Will and Clark as I like to call them more. Then maybe Will could meet his daughter that he didn't know he had. That is something that Will could find out in many ways. His daughter's existence is the only think that can be used from the second book . And he will marry Clark and they will have their kids and he can be a great father for the daughter he never knew he had and for his kids with his true love, Louisa Clark. As Clark can be a great mother for her kids with her true love, Will Traynor and for Will's daughter as well. Or Will's daughter that he never knew he had with an old girlfriend of his before his accident, can be left out. It's Will's and Louisa's story. Will is perfect. And even if Will and Clark could not make love or kids they can still get married and be happy in a third book and in a second movie.
And one other important thing: The fact that in both movie and book version we saw that Will went to Swiss and according to the movie and the book did what he planned –something that we didn't actually saw, we just saw him there - doesn't mean he wasn't happy with Clark. On the contrary. His happiness started the day he met her. The day that they both fell in love with each other. Clark is the love of his life and he is the love of her life.
The joy Will feels when he sees that she liked the movie with subtitles. That night in Will's room with the snow where he asked her to tell him something good and that's when he finds out about the bumblebee tights and he loves her so much that he makes her the bumblebee tights a present for her birthday. The scene where she is shaving him. He is so handsome. The scene where Clark shows up in front of Will in the movie with the red dress, the scene where they are in the concert and his face when he understands how much Clark loves the concert and then when they are in the car and they stay there because he just wants to be a man who's been to a concert with a girl in a red dress. His girl. His love. The picnic scene in the movie where he says that he'll come on her birthday dinner. The way Will is jealous in the book when Clark tells him that she decided to move in with Patrick and the way Will is jealous in the movie when Patrick kisses Lou in front of him on her birthday dinner. Will's and Lou's happiness when he gave Lou the bumblebee tights on her birthday. The castle scene when she tells her about Paris.
Oh the way he looks at her at the wedding reception while she is sitting on his lap and the way he tells her to move closer because she smells fantastic. The flirting and the words they exchange. The phrase: "You are pretty much the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning" . The way he looks at her and the way she looks at him telling him to go somewhere, anywhere in the world with her, just the two of them and the way he sighs looking at her. And the way he looks at her when he responds "ok" to her. The happiness they feel and the way Will laughs and Clark cheers when they run outside both on Will's wheelchair on the way to the hotel leaving Alicia and Rupert's wedding reception. The scene when he is in hospital with pneumonia and Clark is there for him.
The kiss scene in the movie that stormy night and the way he tells her to leave the shutters open because he wants to see the storm and the ocean outside. He says he wants to see it. The way he looks at her and he smiles while she is standing next to the shutter looking at the storm. The way he looks at her when she is making his bed position more comfortable and then he says to her not to go back to her room tonight . And they both smile and he is looking at her while she lies down next to him with her hand touching his arm and the way they are both looking at the storm and the way Will looks at her while she is looking outside next to him. Everything were perfect that stormy night with the ocean and the storm view in front of them. The way they are looking at each other and the way they are so close as they are about to start their kiss. With all the lightning and the atmosphere when the power is off while they are kissing, with Clark's hand now on Will's chest. The way they both smile after their kiss. That smile is the smile of true love.
The way he tells her that she can do anything after she tells him that she can't do scuba diving. His happiness when he sees afterwards how happy Clark is doing scuba diving. And let me mention that in his book version letter he says to Clark that her face after the scuba diving told him everything and that there's a hunger in her. A fearlessness that she kept buried. His smile when Clark dances in front of him that night on the beach under the stars and the way they are both in pain when they discuss about Switzerland. The love that they have in their eyes. They are meant for each other. Oh so many scenes from the movie and the book.
Will teaches Clark so many things. Even in his letter he shows how much he loves her. But when he tells her in that letter to don't think of him too often because he doesn't want her getting sad, - Getting sad is used in the movie letter version and I don't want to think of you getting all maudlin is used in the book version letter - well this isn't possible. Because it's impossible for her not to think of him every single day as it is impossible for him not to think of her every single day. So he gives us the fact by his words that as I said, his soul will watching Clark and he will be with her and she will be with him. Forever. Of course guys because when a body goes it doesn't mean that the person goes. He is alive. They did all that stuff together and he went to that trip with her and they had such a good time in that hotel that night after Alicia's and Rupert's wedding. And the job at the castle for Bernard … The bank account that Will set up for her with Michael Lawler. Will wanted for Clark to put herself first for once and not worry about her family. Because he wanted for her to live life. To live boldly. He did that, all of that for her. Because that's how much he loves her. And Clark did all that stuff with him, went to that trip with him, searched things that could made him want to live life again because she also wanted him to live life again. To change his mind about Swiss. That's how much she loves him.
And the description of the movie and the book that say that Will did what he planned to in Switzerland was because he was too exhausted and in pain and because he kept thinking of how he used to be before his accident and was athletic and he thought Clark would be trapped because of the wheelchair but Clark didn't care about the wheelchair and that chair shouldn't define Will.
So he didn't decide to go to Swiss because he wasn't happy with her. Because these six months were the best for him in his entire life and as for Clark too. The best months in her life. Oh and in his letter he says to her how much he loves her. And she loves him too. Because they are in love and their love is true and they will always be together. Because I will tell what he said in the movie letter: "I'll be walking beside you every step of the way". They will always be together. And the fact that in the movie and in the book he didn't change his mind about Swiss doesn't mean that Clark isn't the love of his life . Because she is. And Will is the love of her life. And they will always be together. And I wish he would change his mind. But even if he didn't they will always be together and he is alive even if his body gave in. His soul and Will as a person are still present.
Even if Clark would decide to get married –something I don't think she would do but even if she did Will is her love- someday years after Will did what he planned in Switzerland, no one would be like Will. He would be just a person that passed from Louisa's life. No one could replace the love of her life. Will Traynor. And no one could ever offer her more than Will Traynor can offer her because simply you only get one true love in your life. And for Clark, this love is Will Traynor. As for Will the only love of his life is Louisa Clark. And I would like to see them getting married and having kids and Will not let himself defined by this wheelchair. As he said to her in the book that what happened that night in the maze with these men, she shouldn't let that night define her. So I would really like to see him not let this chair define him. Because he is a real man. A perfect man despite the wheelchair.
And Clark loves his perfection. The man he is. And he loves Clark and the woman she is. He was uncomfortable eating in front of other people but he went to Lou's birthday and he ate in front of everyone with Clark feeding him. He did that for her and I think because he was feeling comfortable with her family. Because the sure thing is that he was feeling comfortable with Lou. He was a bitter man after his accident and when she came he began laughing. Really laughing and he became more social. So Will doesn't have to let that chair define him. He was uncomfortable eating in front of others and he was constantly thinking of how he used to be before the accident.
And he loves Clark so much that he worries about all the things she can't do when he is getting ill sometimes. But that's the point. He loves her so much that cares for that but what he has to understand is that Lou doesn't care about enjoying life without him. And she tries to change his mind about Switzerland because they can enjoy life despite the wheelchair. Because she wants him and she wants to be there in every difficulty in his health. She stands by him as he stands by her. Because enjoying life is being with the love of your life. She became a woman that showed her potential. The potential that Will saw in her. He said to Clark that we only get one life and it's actually our duty to live it as fully as possible. She became a whole new person because of him. The person she was hiding deep inside and that Will helped her stop hiding. And Will stopped being bitter because she makes him happy. And even in his letter he says that there's not much that makes him happy anymore but she does. So that's why Will should be brought back in a second movie and in a third book. Because he is so in love and happy with her as she is with him. And as he became happy from the moment she walked into his life he can also stop worrying about things that Clark won't be able to do if he gets ill, or worrying eating in front of others.
And if others make comments then these others have the problem. Like in the movie when they went to the dance floor in the wedding and some old people were making comments. Or in the horse riding when some girls were making comments for Will in the book version. They have the problem. Not Will. And let me mention that also the horse riding scene was different from book to movie. And also not all words from the letter in the book were said in the letter in the movie version. And the phrases "your sweet smile" and "I'll be walking beside you every step of the way" were only in the movie letter. But in the movie letter version we got how much he loves her as we got it in the book version letter and that is the important thing. So they can make one more change and bring Will back in the future. His return can be explained. So as he stopped being bitter and he ate before Lou's family then he can also stop worrying about Clark being trapped with him because of the wheelchair. On the contrary. Clark is liberated and happy because of him and his love for her. And he is liberated too and happy because of her and her love for him.
I would also like to mention that in the movie when Clark is devastated in her room after the trip in Mauritius, her dad tells her to call them. Because of course she wants to be there and he wants her there of course . They want each other more than anything. But in the book when Clark is devastated there's a message in the phone machine from Camilla telling that Clark must call her. And Clark does because she desperately wants to see Will and when she does Camilla tells her to be there and booked her a flight to go. And of course she does. She goes to her Will. Will is expecting his Clark.
So Will Traynor must not let that chair define him. Because he is perfect and he can give her everything as she can give him everything. As Mary Rawlinson said to Clark about Will in Alicia's and Rupert's wedding reception : "You take care of him. He's a good one". They are soul mates and that's why I hope and pray that someday Will's character will be brought back in a third book and in a second movie. And his comeback can be explained as I described above. Or they can come up with another explanation. It doesn't matter which one explanation of all of them. As long as they bring Will's character back. So …. Thank you all for this journey. I will keep up writing stories about Will and Clark. They will always be together and they will always be scored on my heart. So here comes the last chapter for this story. Chapter 18. Will's point of view. I hope you will enjoy! And I am so overwhelmed.
Will and Clark always scored on my heart. I cross my fingers and pray that Will's character will return in a third book and in a second movie. Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke are great and I would like them to reprise their characters. The message for the readers and the viewers in the book and the movie was the right for someone's choice. For Will's choice. And Clark was there for him in Switzerland . Him, Will Traynor that gave Lou six magical months where she lived more than she ever lived in her whole life. And she managed to make him so happy. They give everything to each other and these six months is only the beginning for them. Because even in both cases, where Will don't or does change his mind about Switzerland, their love will never end. It started right that day when they met. I just hope and pray that Will's choice will turn out to be the one that he decides to change his mind about Switzerland in a second movie and in a third book. Because the movie and the book about Will and Lou have one other major message : Their love, their love that is epic and eternal . Forever . I love them so much. I hope you will enjoy this. True love never ends. Will and Lou will never end ! They will always be together !
Because they are meant to be !
Chapter 18
So this is it. A wheelchair is just a wheelchair. Nothing less, nothing more. And I am Will Traynor, who is loved by Louisa Clark so much as I love her so much. Forever. And now the results are here and Dr. Stein told us as we were in his office :
"I have good news Miss Clark, Mr Traynor. You can take the pills Mr Traynor"
And I took the treatment but we decided that our parents would not know. There was no need to. It would be uncomfortable. Besides me and Clark, the only ones who knew about the treatment were Nathan, Treena, Georgina, Ritchie and Amanda. So I am taking the pills for a month now and today it's the day of our wedding. One month after Dr. Stein told us the results. This is it. Our wedding is happening. We decided to get married outside in the garden. Our families, our friends, Ritchie , Amanda and Nathan were all there.
There are also some things that happened during the last month. Georgie and Nathan are dating and I still remember when they told us and how nervous they both were. But we couldn't be happier for them . Ritchie, Amanda and Nathan are also family of course. And Treena is dating Robert, whom she met at her college and now the four couples, we are all going out in together.
So here I am next to my best men Nathan, Ritchie, Robert and little Tommy of course. Our families looking at us and are so proud and I suddenly see the brides maids coming : Georgina , Treena and Amanda. And now I see her. My bumblebee Clark. My Clark, in her white dress with little bumblebees on it and I am so overwhelmed from her beauty. So, as she leans over and kisses my cheek I say:
"You are perfect Clark"
"And you are perfect Will. So handsome"
So as the priest started the ceremony and we exchanged our vows and we put our wedding rings, she sat on my lap and we kissed. Everyone were clapping and congratulating and Robert along with Nathan and Ritchie and little Tommy were whistling. And the ladies were cheering. And as she was still on my lap she told me:
"You are my life and I love you"
"And I love you. You are my fresh air Clark"
And then the wedding party started and we danced just like that day in Alicia's and Rupert's wedding and as she is on my lap I say:
"I will tell this again. You are the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning"
"And you Will Traynor are the only thing that makes me feel alive"
Everyone were looking at us and then they joined us in the dancing floor. It was time for Clark to throw the flower bouquet and she did it while she was sitting on my lap. And Amanda found her hand holding the bouquet.
As the party was over we are now in our bed. Our first night as husband and wife and as I said it's been exactly a month I've been taking the pills. So far we haven't been able to make love but my reflex erections are increasing and tonight we would try and see what happens. So as she stands before me I am in bed with my wedding tuxedo and she starts taking off her wedding dress and then she starts undresses me while she is kissing me. And I could feel so much passion and pleasure and she could feel it too. We made plenty of stuff that were enough to make us feel intimate. No we didn't have the sexual intimacy that I could give her with no problem before my accident. I didn't got inside her body. Not this night. But the stuff we did were enough for us to feel pleasure. To enjoy each other. And we made love because we could feel our feelings . So technically we didn't managed it 100% but basically, we felt so much pleasure. The pills are working and are helpful but we don't know if our sexual intimacy will expand. But all I know is I can feel pleasure which I thought I couldn't and this treatment helps.
Ritchie took the pills and he can have 100% pleasure . He can be sexually intimate. And I will keep getting that pills as long as Dr. Stein tells me to and I hope that someday I will be as able as Ritchie is in that area . But even if I don't get there, that's ok. I already have pleasure with Clark. These pills are already working and we found ways to satisfy each other in that area. And all that matters is our love. No matter what. We are soul mates. And I am the love of her life and she is the love of my life.
As we are in bed and she has her head on my chest I say:
"So, married"
"Married and this …. was great"
"And you don't mind if these pills won't help any longer? If this is what we can do in that area?"
"No I don't mind, because you are great. You make me feel like a woman. You always do and you are a true man Will Traynor"
"It was great for me too. I didn't think that I would have the slightest pleasure after my accident. But I had reflex erections and tonight was great even if it wasn't technically a 100%"
"It was to me"
"Yeah and to me too. And all that matters is that I have you Clark"
" And you will always have me Will. And all that matters is that I have you. I love you"
"You will always have me Clark. I love you too"
And then we drifted off to a sweet sleep smiling and happier than ever.
So, a day after the wedding, today, I talked to Ritchie and he told me they decided with Amanda to get married in two months. I will be best man along with Tommy, Nathan and Robert. And of course Georgie, Treena and Clark will be Amanda's bridesmaids. We also decided to go to our honeymoon. We are leaving in a week and we are prepared as Nathan told Clark how to manage my medical care a million times. We wanted to be just the two of us. Plus Nathan had a friend that is a nurse where we are going. And the place that we picked for our honeymoon is Maldives. We will be off for ten days and Clark was fully prepared by Nathan if anything would happen that she could manage it. But our time will be great. I know it. So as we are at the airport I can't do anything but just this. Actually I told that as aloud as I could:
"You are the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning Clark"
And as everyone were looking at us Clark is smiling and then she jumps on my lap and says as aloud as she could:
"And you are the only thing that makes me feel alive. I love you Will Traynor. My husband"
And we were still saying out aloud these:
"And I love you too my bumblebee girl. My wife. Louisa Clark Traynor"
Then everyone were smiling and then we were both saying with happiness:
"We just got married and I am the luckiest woman on earth" Clark said and I added:
"And I am the luckiest man on earth" and we kissed and the whole airport was clapping and congratulating us. Then as everyone got back to their places she said to me:
"You're stuck with me Will Traynor"
"And I am so glad I am. I love you Louisa Clark Traynor"
"And I love you my Will"
And then we kissed and we got lost in each other's eyes and lips…
We got back from our honeymoon and we had a great time. Nothing happened with my health and we are ready to start living together as a married couple. And we are happy. As for the results from Dr. Stein's treatment … we are still in the same level but ….. it's a great level. Because even if we won't be able to have 100% sexual intimacy, we have pleasure by finding ways and doing plenty of stuff that can bring that pleasure. We don't know yet and I still have the treatment, but , whatever happens I know as Clark knows that, our love and our feelings are the most important . And when I get health problems SHE IS ALWAYS THERE and we are getting through all the times I get ill because we have each other. Because we are strong.
Louisa Clark and Will Traynor connected in every way
Will and Clark Forever
Because we are meant to be
