I could not help the smile on my lips as Alex smiled at me. There was just something different about her. She was not like any of the other girls I had tried being with. She was a ball of energy. Most people find people like herm like me tiring but when I am with her it wakes me up, it is as if her energy somehow becomes mine. There was more than that though. If any one was going to heaven it was she, I had first encountered her when she was yelling at some man for being a gay hater because he was bashing on gays in front of her best friend's 3-year-old gay brother. She believed strongly that everyone should be loved, everyone. She could not stand any one who hated people. She was the first one who let me be who I was but did not change herself. That meant I had to give up smoking and drinking but in moments like now with her in my arms and her smile lighting up my world I forgot that I ever wanted such things. She laughed as the rain hit her face and we headed out into the night. She rested her head on my shoulder as I pulled out of the lot. She did not otherwise distract me though, both of us were very careful around cars, me because I did not want to crash her because cars were her phobia. Imagine my surprise when this brave girl who was willing to take on full-grown men blanched at the thought of riding in a car at any sort of speed. I had just hit the highway, when the car in front of us stopped; the engine was dead. I tried to stop but I could not so I swerved to the right. I will never forget the sounds of that night; the screaming of tires, the shattering glass, and the painful scream that I heard last.
When I came to there were people all around. There was something warm flooding through my eyes. Somehow, I found her that night. I lifted her head. She looked at me and spoke.
"Hold me darling just a little while," I held her close I kissed her our last kiss.
"Oh, God," the words slipped past my lips, I could see blood, her blood, everywhere. I could hear the sirens but I knew they would be too late.
"Don't cry, I love you," she said quietly.
"I love you to," I said trying not to choke.
"Remember, I died happier than I lived most of my life" she said to me and her eyes bored into my soul and I nodded. I held her close and I could not let go. The ambulance came and took her away but her eyes were closed. I followed her to the hospital. I do not know why but I knew she would not make it through the night. I sat with her through the night. She did not awake. The doctor told me just two things.
"The baby didn't make it, and we'll all be lucky if she does." I could not tell the man I did not know I had a child to loose. I held her hand all through the night. I watch the machines, waiting for a change. She is going to heaven so I have to be good so I can see her when I leave this world.
