The End of the World

"It's the end of the world Cappie. What are you going to do?" These words have haunted my dreams ever since I heard them. I am in the same situation as Casey so I'm mainly gonna write this from her point of view because I understand her side. Now on with the story.

"It's the end of the world Cappie. What are you going to do?" Ashleigh asked as she sat down.

Cappie was too drunk to respond. He could barely keep consciousness. He wanted to be able to run to Casey and tell her that he loved her and he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. Before he went running to her he wanted to know that she wouldn't have changed her mind and gone running back to Max asking for his forgiveness or wake up the next morning regretting what she had done.

"She loves you. She always has and always will," Ashleigh said trying to sway his decision she waited for some sort of response. When Cappie didn't say anything she continued. "Casey is my best friend and I don't want to see her hurt anymore. She hurts without you. She needs you Cap. But if you aren't going to go to her and tell her that you love her, and don't say you don't because I know you do, then don't go to her at all."

He knew what be had to do. It was definitely not just the beer talking. He knew that even if he wasn't drunk out of his mind he would still know he loved her. There was no denying he loved her but it was whether or not she really loved him that was the decision maker. He decided that he would leave it up to her. Her realizing she made a mistake would rip him apart and break his heart forever, but that didn't matter because she already had his heart and always would. Having missed a chance with her would kill him slowly inside forever.
As he got up, he realized just how drunk he really was. He stumbled a moment before pausing to regain his balance. Unfortunately he couldn't regain his balanced and continue to stumble. Before he could sit back down, he felt himself falling, falling, falling. The last thing he heard was Ashleigh screaming. Then everything faded to black.

I pulled my head out of my pillow when I heard my phone ringing. I thought it was just Max calling begging me to reconsider. He had called before and I could tell he was drunk. I let my phone keep ringing and put my head back into my pillow and attempted to cry myself to sleep. I failed. I failed sleeping. I failed to stop crying. I failed another relationship because of him. He was the only one I ever loved. He was the only one I could be myself with. He was none other than the one and only Cappie. I closed my eyes and once more willed sleep to come instead if tears.

"Casey! Didn't you get my calls?" Ashleigh's voice pulled me from sleep. The only sleep I had gotten in a long time and it's ended by none other than my best friend and her yelling at me something about an accident. "...Cappie!"
As soon as I heard his name she had my attention.

"What about Cappie?" I asked trying to sound like I didn't care. She saw right through me. It wasn't that hard. Anyone could have known my not caring was just a facade to make them think that I didn't love him.

"Have you not been listening to my messages I left you?" she asked knowing I always had my phone with me.

"Uh...No I was asleep," I lied; well it wasn't that much of a lie. I looked over at my phone and saw twelve missed calls from Ashleigh and none from Max. While I was checking that I realized that I hadn't missed a call from Cappie.

"There was an accident Casey...and... uhm...well... Cappie is in the hospital," she said gently. I could tell that there was more to be said.

"No! He can't be he is probably just sitting on the roof of the KT house thinking. He loves it up there!" I said denying that Cappie could be hurt.

"No Casey. He was coming here but he was still off balance from being so drunk and he fell off the roof," she said as sweetly as you can when telling someone that the love of their life is going to die.

"No! That's not him! That's not him!" I yelled as the tears that had been forming in my eyes ready to break loose.

"It's the end of his world Casey. What are you going to do?" Ashleigh asked me looking into my eyes trying to read my expression.

She couldn't see through my tear filled eyes to my true thoughts. I knew what I had to do. I had to be with him. It would kill me to see the lights fade from his eyes and his smile fade but I had to be there. I loved him.
I ran out to my car. The second I got close enough I hit the button and my car unlocked. I jumped in and tore out of the driveway. I speed to the hospital cursing and honking like a maniac whenever I was behind a slow car or got stopped at a light. As I pulled into the emergency lane and jumped out of my car, leaving parked there. I didn't care that it would get towed, I needed to be there. I would kill me to see him die but it would kill me not to be there. I ran through the doors and demanded to know where the love of my life was. Ashleigh had told me the room number so all I needed to know which way it was and then I could be there for him.

"Miss I can't allow you to see him if you're not related to him. Miss!" the woman called after me trying to prevent me from entering his room.

"Look here! That man is the love of my life and I need to see him now! He is in there dying and you are going to keep me from him!" I yelled at her keeping it as clean as I could because there were a lot of little kids around.

"Fine! But if something goes wrong you have to leave!" she said giving in to my temper tantrum that would rival any spoiled three year old hearing the word no for the first time.

"Whatever! Just let me see my Cappie!" I demanded knowing his time was short and she opened the door for me with a look of complete pity towards me. I realized why as soon as I saw him.

He was hooked up to so many machines that there was barely room for anything but wires on his body. His face was covered in cuts and bruises. His lips, the lips that had once formed the most amazing smile ever and never frowned, were curved downward. His eyes that always had shined so brightly were now closed and there was no bright light shining behind the bruise covered lids. I went up to him and kissed those lips. I burst into tears.

"Cappie," I sobbed the continued between sobs, "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I wanted to be with you until the end of the world! Why? Why do you have to leave me alone? Please don't leave me! I love you! I need you! Please!"
I grabbed his hand and a beeping noise began. I knew what it meant. I held him close and cried. The doctors came in and frantically started to try to revive him. Nurses were trying to pull me away and out of the room but I just clang onto him tighter.

"No! I'm not leaving him! We were going to be together until the end of the world! Don't leave me Cappie! Don't go!" I yelled but I could see his spirit leaving his body.

"Cappie I love you I always have and I always will!" I shouted at his quickly leaving soul as they pulled me off of him, "Cappie! I choose you!" As I yelled his lips curled into a smile and the beeping slowed to one single long heart breaking beep.

"You are my world Cappie! Please Cappie!" I cried. He was gone and I was standing here telling him I loved him but it was too late. There would be no more morning coffees, drinks at Dobbler's, Kappa Tau parties, or tears left to cry. As the last bit of his soul left his body, my world ended. The nurses escorted me out of the room as the doctors tried one more attempt to save the man lying in the bed. I collapsed onto the floor and cried. At three-eighteen in the morning on September 13 my world ended.

I love Cappie I really do so I don't want this to just be a one-shot someone please ask for more so I don't have to leave it the way it is going to end. Please someone ask for more so I don't have to end it here with a time of death. If no one asks for more Cappie dies! But if I continue Cappie might not die!
