Kirsten woke up… alone. Sandy had gone surfing, as usual.

She sighed, she missed him. She didn't like it when he was off surfing early in the mornings, she wanted to be able to sneak up against him and she wanted him to hold her, kiss her.

At leased they had the nights to spend together, like last night, when they had made love.

She got out of bed and got dressed, in a white long-sleved shirt and jeans.

It was Saturday, maybe she and Sandy could go out for dinner tonight, have a date. Kirsten thought that sounded like a good idea.

Sandy was out in the ocean, it was such a nice weather and the waves were high, almost too high. He thought that maybe he and Kirsten could go out on a date tonight. He was also thinking about how amazing she had been last night. He was in front of an enormous wave and his last thought before the wave collapsed over him and his world went dark was 'I love Kirsten more than anything'

At the same time Kirsten was in the kitchen, she felt a sharp pain through her heart. She put a hand over her heart and breathed in slowly, trying to calm her self down. But she felt that something was wrong, she just hoped that Sandy was ok.

Kirsten was still in the kitchen when the phone called, she hoped it would be Sandy.

"Hello?" She answered. She didn't recognize the other voice.

"Hi. Mrs Cohen?" the voice said.

"Yes, that's me. What do you want?"

"I'm calling from the hospital. Is your husband Sandy Cohen?" the voice asked

Kirsten thought her heart were about to stop. He was ok, wasn't he?

"Yes. What is going on? Is he OK?"

"I'm afraid not, you might wanna come over here. He's been in a surfing accident"

Kirsten hung up, she couldn't take this. He couldn't be dead, or even close to….right?

The boys were in the living room, playing play station.

"Boys, we have to go to the hospital, it's your father" she said, almost crying.

Seth's face went pale, "Is he ok?" he whispered.

"I don't know, lets go" Kirsten said, heading out to the car with her sons right behind her.

"I'm looking for Sandy Cohen. I'm his wife" Kirsten said to receptionist at the hospital.

"Mr Cohen is in surgery but please sit down and wait, Dr Morris will keep you informed."

"Thank you"

After almost an hour of painful waiting, Dr Morris came out, he went straight to Kirsten.

"Mrs Cohen?"

"Yes" She got up on her feet, waiting anxiously.

"I am so sorry, but your husband didn't make it. We lost him" Dr Morris looked sadly at her, this was the most painful and worst part of this job, telling the family that their loved one was gone

Kirsten stared at him, not understanding a word of what he was saying. Suddenly, it hit her.

Sandy…He hadn't made it… He was dead…

She swayed back and forth, almost falling, the doctor catched her and called for a nurse to take care of her.

"Wait Dr!" Kirsten yelled when Dr Morris walked away, he turned around.

"Can I…Can I see him?" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.

He looked at her, then nodded. " Let me just make him ready"

The nurse helped Kirsten sit down, Seth and Ryan had gone to get coffee and meet Summer and Marissa, so they didn't know. Kirsten was crying.

"Mum? What's wrong" Seth asked as he sat down beside her.

"He…he is…gone" Kirsten sobbed. Seth froze. No, his dad couldn't…not yet.

Marissa grabbed Ryan's hand as a tear rolled down his cheek. Kirsten hugged Seth tight, she cried even more, Seth was the last living memory of Sandy, besides his mum, but Kirsten had no intension of seeking comfort in her.

"What are we gonna do without him?" Seth whispered.

They stood/sat there in silence, the only sound was from their crying, until Dr Morris once again came out to announce that Kirsten could see Sandy now. She got up without a word, and followed the Dr to the room. She stopped in the doorway, looking at the person lying on the bed. Kirsten slowly walked in and suddenly she was standing by his side, looking down at her husband's dead face.

"Oh, Sandy!" she whispered. "Don't do this to me, don't leave me. What the hell am I going to do without you? I love you, I love you Sandy. Please come back to me" she found her self getting frustrated when he didn't answer. She touched his face, it was cold as ice. He was covered by a white blanket up till his chin.

"Sandy!" she yelled. "I can't live if you're not here. It's too soon" she lifted his head and hugged him tight, she smelled the saltwater in his hair, mixed with her salty tears streaming from her eyes. "Why couldn't you have stayed home this morning, with me?" she whispered in his ear.

"Mum" Seth's voice came floating from the doorway. Summer was standing beside him, holding his hand. Kirsten looked over at them, knowing that she had been in there long enough. She nodded slowly before turning back to her husband. She kissed him on his lips, their last kiss, and whispered "I love you" before putting him down again.

"It's my turn" Seth said, tears streaming down his face as he walked in. Kirsten walked towards him and out through the door, where she almost collapsed, but rescued by Summer.

"Come here, Mrs Cohen" she said, wrapping an arm around Kirsten's waist, trying to keep her on her feet.

"Thanks Summer. Call me Kirsten" Kirsten said weakly.

"Ok. Let's find the others, so you can sit down. Do you want anything?"

"I want Sandy" Kirsten whispered sadly. Summer pinched her self, what a stupid question to ask a woman who had just lost her husband.

Summer and Kirsten had almost made it to the waiting room where the others was sitting, when Kirsten couldn't take it anymore, she collapsed onto the floor.

"Kirsten!" Marissa and Ryan both screamed, hurrying to help her, along with two nurses.
