How could this happen to me?!
"You know, I kinda like it just us two!" Allan slurred as Rachel helped him down the steps of the club.
"Yea I would like it even better if you weren't drunk!" Rachel laughed once they got down the stairs.
"I'm not drunk…anyway, Robin was right, tonight was fun!"Allan grinned as he led her to the beach.
"Yea it was wasn't it?!" Rachel said smiling fondly.
"You….know...argh!" Allan said as he doubled in pain.
"Allan, Allan!" Rachel said as she bent down to him in the sand.
"I ain't bein' funny but I don't remember drink doing this to me before," Allan said as he tried to make light of his situation.
"Marian..get over here, were on the beach opposite the club…hurry please…Allan's been shot!" Rachel said as she screamed down the phone.
"Shouldn't you be calling an ambulance or something?" Allan laughed.
"I already have, please…Allan…Allan WAKE UP!" Rachel said as he rose in and out of consciousness.
"I really like you; you know that…I think you're the one!" Allan smiled, sweating with pain.
"Oh Allan, I really like you too, please don't leave me! We've known each other for ever!" Rachel said crying through tears.
"I know, but it was your idea to pretend we didn't know each other, make it a little bit interesting!" Allan winced as another wave of pain shot through him.
"Allan, please don't leave me!" Rachel cried as he lost consciousness once again.
"I
open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I
can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here
tonight"
"Allan, please, I'm begging you!" Rachel said, but to Allan her voice sounded distance.
"And
I can't stand the pain How could this happen to me
And I can't make it go away
No I
can't stand the pain
I made
my mistakes
I've got nowhere to run
The night goes on
As
I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna
scream
How could this happen to me"
"Oh my god, Allan, Rachel what happened?" Marian said as Allan slipped in and out of consciousness once again.
"Everybody's
screaming So I try to hold onto a time when nothing
mattered
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm
slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start
this over again
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't
erase the things that I've done
No I can't"
"Allan mate can you hear me?" Robin asked patting his face gently.
"Robin, here use this to stem the blood flow!" Marian said taking off her jumper as she put in on Allan's stomach as Robin pressed down.
"Arghhh!" Allan shouted in pain.
"How
could this happen to me I
made my mistakes
I made my mistakes
I've got nowhere
to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of
this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
I've got nowhere to run
The night goes on
As
I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna
scream
How could this happen to me"
"Allan, we should have told everyone! Look we're engaged, we were childhood sweethearts where you think Allan goes for that long every time his on vacation" Rachel laughed through her tears.
"I love you!" Allan declared as he started to cough up blood.
"I love you too, please don't leave me!" Rachel said hoisting his head onto her lap.
"Good, promise me, that if I don't make it, you'll move on and have children and be happy" Allan said reaching up to touch her face.
"Allan, please don't talk like, that, I'm going to grow old with you, and we will watch our grandchildren run about in the garden, holding hands and when they ask who my first love was all I have to do is point across the garden and say that's him right there…not point up to the sky and say that!!" Rachel sobbed as she felt Allan's breath get raspy and his breathing restricted.
"Never forget how much I love you babe…I'll be waiting by Heaven's gate…that sound cheesy!" Allan grinned as he took his last breath.
