I stood in her door way, she was reading that book again. She had her back to me but her bare shoulders just attracted me. It made me think of how we got into that mess back in junior year. She put the book on her nightstand and turned the light out.

"Come lay with me JT." I smiled of course she would know. I went to her and snuggled up with her. It was the only one I could touch and hold and kiss fully yet knowing it was just both of our imaginations creating what we experienced.

"It's my last night, tomorrow I'll be gone for good." A tear soaked my shirt. I felt the pain and I knew my end was drawing near. I looked to the clock and saw it read ten I had three hours left with her.

"I can't believe this is it JT. I love you and it hurts so much knowing your gone." I held her tighter remembering the feeling of her soft skin.

"As corny as this may be, it feels like my heart constricts every time I have to say goodbye. I wish I had another week, a year with you. So in the flesh I could of told you I love you, I never stopped. I was a down right jerk but I never stopped Libs." A tear dragged down my cheek that she wiped away softly with her thumb. I leaned down and kissed her remembering every little detail, every feeling, smell.

"You know it's not your fault." She leaned her head on my shoulder.

"Why does it feel like it? JT your gone, somewhere were we can't be together." I adjusted so I could look into her eyes.

"Life and death are just two adventures. When you die in many years I will be waiting on the other side for you, Never forget me Liberty." She smiled but it was a sad smile.

"How could I forget the great James Tiberius Yorke." I chuckled.

"Give me one last Liberty Van Zandt smile." I looked at the clock. 12:20. Forty minutes.

"Now listen closely, Look for a guy who sees the fire that burns in your eyes when determined, has a sense of humor, and most importantly will stand by you. You deserve that Liberty, but if you do meet someone and fall for him tell him of your past, holding the two apart will create issues later and people you could fall for are at an arms length. Your smart, beautiful and full of life, you deserve some one like that too." I gestured throughout the whole thing using all the things she loved about me one last time.

"Someone like you." In a way I knew she would never find someone like me.

"No, don't look for me. Look for... Look for someone who will treat you right, I didn't all the time. But don't look for me in every quality, I'm one of a kind." I smiled. She laid down and that was how we spent my last half hour on earth. The clock read 12:59. I materialized and saw flesh. My one wish. Liberty woke to solidarity of me.

"My last wish, is to tell you in the flesh, I love you Liberty Van Zandt and always will." I gave her one final last kiss with warm lips before the clock chimed one and I felt a pull, I saw Liberty droop and fall asleep on her bed as I was being tugged upwards. There wasn't a gate, nothing. I saw my grams, and Degrassi? But on the steps were all my friends, and my baby boy in Liberty's arms? I was confused. My grams came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Welcome to your heaven, it is your greatest wish something your subconscious wanted all along." I smiled, a family. Might be dysfunctional but they were mine. I walked over to Liberty and held my son. My grams stood in a bright light and I waved knowing she was going off to her piece of heaven. It was Home.
