*Suddenly, it happened so fast.*
*I couldn't believe the news that I recieved.*
Lauren glanced at the clock. "Two am." She groaned. "What could anybody want now?" She asked as she crawled out of bed. She could hear the pounding on the door. "I'm coming!" She shouted. She swung the door open, a look of annoyance clearly visible on her face. "What is it?" Marilyn Sudor stood at the door. "Lauren? Something happened at the school."Lauren was about to say something sarcastice until she saw the look on Marilyn's face. "What happened?" Marilyn took a deep breath, afraid of what Lauren's reaction would be. "It's Harry. He was stabbed."
*My heart stopped* *as I hit the floor*
Lauren gasped "D-do they know who did it?" Marilyn stepped through the door, hoping to comfort Lauren. "Not for sure, but they think it was Aamad Crenshaw." Lauren pushed Marilyn away. She went to sit on the couch, he knees felt like they were going to give out, but she missed and landed on the floor. She did nothing in the way of pushing herself up.
*I fell to my knees* *Crying Lord help me.*
"If this is a joke, it's not funny." Lauren whispered, tears shimmering in her eyes. "It's no joke Lauren. I was going to the hospital to see him and I figured you'd want to come." Lauren nodded her head and walked toward the door. "I have to go." Marilyn smiled and wrapped her arms aroung Lauren, guiding her to the car. "He's going to be ok, isn't he?" Lauren asked, once they'd gotten into the car. "They don't know. He may not make it." Marilyn looked at Lauren crying on the seat beside her. "Harry's strong, you know that. He's a fighter." They pulled into an empty spot at the hospital and walked inside. All the time Lauren was steeling herself for what she might see.
*No matter what time brings *All the changes we go through in life.* *There's somethings, you just can't prepare for.*
When Lauren walked into the hospital room, she felt her knees start to give out again, so she pulled a chair closer to her. Lying in the hospital bed he looked so weak and vulnerable, not at all the man Lauren was used to seeing. She watched the monitor. "Beep, beep, beep, beeeeeeeeeeeee............" Lauren panicked. "Somebody! Help! He's dying!"
~~~ONE WEEK LATER~~~
Lauren knelt in front of Harry's grave.
*I don't care what they say* *Don't care what they do* *I don't care what they think.* *I'm gonna love you, for the rest of my life.*
"Harry, I'm so sorry. I should have been there with you. I know you still loved me, and I'm sorry I broke your heart, but I still loved you Harry. I've always loved you and I always will. I'll never forget you."
*Don't they know* *True love never dies*
With that, Lauren laid a single white rose in front of the tombstone, stood, and walked from the cemetary. A piece of her heart was gone, but Lauren knew she would be ok. Harry was in heaven now. She knew he loved her. She loved him too. Nothing could change that.
*I promise to love you* *For the rest of my life.*
