He suddenly wakes up, screaming. He shoots up in the bed. His whole body is
shaking, sweating and he feels as if someone had tipped a bucket of icy
water over him. His eyes are bloodshot. Panting for breath he looks around,
hoping that what he just saw was just his worst nightmare. But it isn't. As
he realises that she's gone, he falls back onto the bed, with tears in his
eyes and he begins to cry. Crying for his love.
Its been two days now. Two days since the awful event happened. He still
cant believe it. Doesn't want to believe it. But he realises that he would
have to face the truth. The truth that she was gone. That she died. Died in
his arms. He still remembered the words. The words that she spoke to him
that night. Her last words. ' Tell our story Christian,... that way I'll
always be with you.', she had told him. And he promised her that he would.
Promised to tell their story.
He sits down at his typewriter, pulls out a sheet of paper which he places
in the typewriter, and slowly touches the keys. He's searching for the
words but can't find them. It seems that his mind has gone blank. He wants
to find the words but is struggling to put them together. He tries to
remember. Tries to start off. But when he thinks of it, of the time they
had together, the time that was truly the best time of his life, he can
feel tears slowly strolling down his cheeks. He closes his eyes, and tries
to remember. Tries not to cry. Tries to face the truth. But he cant seem to
remember anything without letting more tears come. Every time he closes his
eyes he sees her. Sees the woman he loved. He looks around his apartment,
outside the window, outside in the streets. Everything he looks at seems to
remind him of her. He buries his face in his hands, but doesn't cry.
Doesn't let himself. Then he slowly looks up, at the blank sheet of paper
in front of him. Then he feels a cold wind blowing across his face. And
then he slowly starts to remember.
