Max went into the room. Zoe's skin was deathly pale. He sat down in the chair beside her and took her hand in his. It was ice cold. Her hair had become knotted and her eyes we closed tightly. Her breaths were forced. She was attached to a ventilator and her lips were a little blue.

He sat there watching, waiting, praying for her to just show him a sign that everything was going to be okay. He couldn't lose her not know. She meant too much to him.

The hours passed, doctors and nurses fluttered in and out. Doing her obs and making sure Max was okay. He spoke to her.

"Zoe, I'm not really sure if you can hear me but I'm going to say it anyway. I love you more than you'll ever know and I need you. I can't lose you, your my world, my destiny. We are written on the stars. You have made me complete and that is all a man can hope for. You are my everything and I need you to fight. Fight against the shining light that wants to guide you to the next world. Fight for me, for both of us. We have a life to live and a life less lived is not a life at all. We have years left in us yet Zo and the thought of not being able to spend them with you shatters my heart. Zoe please fight with every last bit of strength you have. I love you Zoe and you love me I just hope it will be enough."

Tears were flooding down his face. Losing Zoe would be the end of him. He kissed her hand through his tears and began to sing.

Breathe deep, breathe clear

Know that I'm here

Waitin'

Stay strong, stay gold

You don't have to fear

Waitin'

I'll see you soon

How could a heart like yours

Ever love a heart like mine?

How could I live before?

How could I have been so blind?

You opened up my eyes

Sleep sound, sleep tight

Here in my mind

Waitin'

Come close, my dear

You don't have to fear

Waitin'

I'll see you soon

How could a heart like yours

Ever love a heart like mine?

How could I live before?

How could I have been so blind?

You opened up my eyes

Hold fast hope

All your love is all I've ever known

Hold fast hope

All your love is all I've ever known

How could a heart like yours

Ever love a heart like mine?

How I could I live before?

How could I have been so blind?

You opened up my eyes

Max took Zoe's hand in his, her nails were still painted a deep plum colour. He stood up and lent over, softly kissing her check. He let himself fall back into the chair. He loved Zoe more than anything in the world but this was out of his control. He spoke gently.

"If you stay, or if you go. It's all up to you."

Please review x

Well I'm sad to say this is the last chapter of this fic. Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews they make this so worth it. I hope you've enjoyed reading, I have enjoyed writing it. Sorry to leave you all on such a sad note but I felt as if this way it would work better overall.

I have started to write a sequel called 'I want you to stay' which will be up shortly as I don't want to leave you all in the dark for too long xx

Thank you xxxx
