She got the call not too long after the accident. She got into her car and
sped to the site. There was the familiar car flipped over onto it's side.
It had obviously flipped many times. She flew out of her car and ran
towards the ambulance. "Sorry, ma'am. You can't-" started the officer,
trying to do his duty.
"He's my husband. Please!" He nodded and let her through. He was lying in the ambulance, unconscious. She stepped inside and held him to her chest. He could see himself in her arms. Though in reality he was not awake. He could feel her, smell her- but his eyes were glued shut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was
I love you and I'm not afraid
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms
Holding my last breath?
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Jess..." She cried. "Jess...talk to me. Look at me..." His eyes remained shut. She continued to hold him, afraid to let go. His eyes began to flutter open. "Jess!" She smiled through her tears.
"Rory..."
"You're going to be ok, I promise." She held his hand and squeezed it tightly. He looked into her eyes and replied.
"Don't-make promises-you-can't-keep." He gasped for lack of breath. "I'm- sorry." He gasped again.
"For what?" She asked wiping tears out of her eyes.
"For this-morning."
"Jess, that's long forgotten." She leaned down and kissed his head lightly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree
I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you.
Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His eyes closed again, his chest rising and falling, heavily. Rory continued to hold him tightly, his eyes opened yet again. "I-love-you." He said, meaning every word.
"I love you too, Jess."
"You-tell our kid-that I love him-too. Ok?" Tears filled his eyes.
"Of course. I'll tell him everyday." Her tears comming more rapid than before.
"If it's-a girl-tell her she's-daddy's little girl-always and-forever. And if it's-a boy-tell him to-play games-and to-read. It's ok-to be a boy-and to read."
"Of course, Jess, of course. I promise. This is a promise I WILL keep." He nodded and smiled meekly at her one last time, before drifting into a never ending sleep. His chest ceased rising and falling. She didn't yell and scream, she waited to break down until she got home. A police officer drove her for fear that she would have a wreck. She walked up the apartment stairs slowly, solemly. Opened the door of their apartment and went into the bedroom. She fell on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She called his name. There was no answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Closing your eyes
You pray your dreams will leave you here,
But still you wake and know the truth -
No one's there.
Say goodnight, don't be afraid
Calling me, holding me, as you fade to black.
(Say goodnight) Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid) Safe inside myself
(Holding me) Are my thoughts of you
Sweet rapture and life,........................
It ends here tonight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was really gone.

A/N: I know this is a sad story, but I was just in the mood for one. Sorry!! But I still ask for reviews because it makes me feel better about my writing! So push the button!!!
