I am not Stephanie Meyer and will never be. I'm just borrowing her toys.........
Forks General Hospital, the place that had become my home for so long. Here I was holding my girlfriends hand as she clings to life. Tanya and I had been together for three long glorious years. Peolple laughed at the thought of thirteen year olds falling in love but does love really have an age limit, or an expiration date for that matter? My mind knew Tanya was my love. We had made plans to finish school, move on to college, marry, have a family, and grow old together. Things were perfect for us, then she began to feel sick more often then not. Until one day, she passed out at school. I drove like a madman to get her to my dad, Dr. Carlisle Cullen. After several tests later, Tanya was diagnosed with cancer. She had ignored it for so long it had become advanced. She had days to live, and I did not leave her side. Her parents were very flightly so they didn't care that I stayed with her. We all set quietly for days as she became weaker and weaker. I was staring at her intently praying for a miracle, but knowing my life would leave me soon. Suddenly her eyes flutter open.
"Edward?" her voice cracks, it won't be long now. How can I make it without my love.
"I'm here Tanya, I won't leave love", my voice cracks. I need to say goodbye but how? How do you give up on the one you love.
"Edward, I need you to do something for me hun. I'll be leaving soon, I can't hold on any longer. I'm weak, Edward. I need to let go. For me to truly find the peace I need I must know that you will be okay. I need you to promise me that you will move on. I want you to be happy Edward, it's the only way I can truly find my peace. Can you do this for me, please?" Her voice cracked. I could see the tears forming in her eyes.
The beeping of her heart monitor was becoming fantic, signaling that her heart was working beyond its means to keep her here. What can I say? My love is lying here literally on her death bed asking me to let her go and move on with my life. I know I can't not agree to this promise even though I know I won't fulfill it. At least it will give her peace of mind and ease her passing, that's my Tanya always looking out for others. I take her fragile hand in mine.
"Tanya, I'll love you always. You are my life. I promise I'll be okay. It's okay to let go love," the tears I tried so hard to hold back began to flow.
I held her hand as she took her final breaths. I wondered to myself if I had told her how much I loved her everyday.
The beeping monitor began to slow. "I love y-o-u," Tanya sputtered. The monitor went dead. Suddenly the room was full of doctors and nurses trying to bring her back to me, but I knew the truth. Tanya was gone and I was alone. Carlisle packed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed tightly. I looked at him to see he was letting the tears flow as well.
The doctor working on Tanya looked a me with a grin look on his face and began shaking his head back and forth.
"I'm sorry Mr. Cullen we've lost her."
