Chapter Twenty Four: Refuse to leave

Edward's POV

I'm scared.

I don't want to die. Not when you are here without me.

There's no way we got enough time for what we wanted to do. I had envisioned so much for us.

I'd pictured you walking toward me all in white, I'd imagine me shoving cake into your face while our family and friends cheered. I'd thought about the night of our honeymoon and how long I'd take worshipping every inch of you.

I'd wondered what it would feel like to place my hands on your swollen belly and feel our little one kick for the first time. To then hold them in our arms, exhausted and tired from the long hospital wait for their little cries.

To wave them off to college, to watch you laugh at my discovery of grey hairs. I wanted that all. I didn't realise how fragile the future could be until I had planned so much of it out.

My entire life was mapped out and each turn and curve had you there.

I had never anticipated a fork in the road like this.

You appeared in my life when I least expected it. I thought I didn't need you, but I did. I still do to this day.

Each kiss you lay on my hand makes me want to move them for you, to show you I am still here fighting.

I'm going to return to you.

When I do I'll never ever let you go again.
