Dusty's POV.

I hear the loud speaker calling a code blue for ICU 3. That Lucy's Room, I get up and run to the ICU as fast as I could. "God please let her be alright." I pray as I get to the waiting room of the ICU and notice everyone solemn faces.

"What's going on?" I ask. Everyone looks at me with pity and sympathy. "I asked what's going, tell me damn it."

Rosanna came up to me. "I'm sorry Dusty, I'm so sorry." Rosanna had tears in her eyes, she pulled me into a hug and held me. "I'm so sorry."

"Why what happened?" I asked not sure if I wanted to know the answer. Lucy could not be gone could she? I did not even want to think about it. The mere thought of her not being with me for the rest of my life is horrifying; it is not even worth thinking about. I cannot imagine my life without her in it. She is the only woman I had had any true feelings for.

"Lucy she...she's gone Dusty." Rosanna continued to cry. The words that came out of her mouth caused me to freeze up. I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe. I couldn't function at all. It was as if my body had shut down. I did not know what to do.

"She...she...she's gone?" I stammer as tears threaten in my eyes. I just stand there like a statue. Deflecting anyone who wants to help. "Leave me alone. Please?" I tell them. They all agree and back off. I muster up all of my strength to walk into her room not caring if any one stops me. I have to see her. I have to say goodbye.

I walk into the room and look over at the bed she was lying in. She was not there. Where was she? Could they have moved her already? I asked the on call nurse where she was?

"Miss Montgomery had been moved to the morgue at her father's instructions." The nurse explained. I figured Craig would have her moved as soon as possible, just so I couldn't say goodbye to her. The conceited jerk.

"Why did they move her so soon? Didn't anyone say goodbye to her?" I asked confused

"The goodbyes were said sir." She said as she continued her work. "Here." She said as she handed me something.

"What's this?" I ask noticing it was my mother's locket I had given her for her nineteenth birthday not to long ago. It was the only thing I had left of my mother Nicole. Burke my stepfather once mentioned to me that she wanted me to give it to the one woman I loved the most. Don't give it to just any woman, you have to truly love this woman with every fiber of your being. That's what she wanted. Therefore, I gave it to Lucy the woman whom I love more then anyone on this godforsaken earth.

There were many woman I could have given it to. Many woman I thought I was in love with. I'm glad I never did. I'm glad the woman I gave my mothers locket to was Lucy. I'm glad she had gotten to have it before she died. I only wish she could keep it.

I know who this belongs to now. I will give it to Nicole on her nineteenth birthday just like I did Lucy. I just hope Nicole makes it.

I stand holding the locket as I watch the nurse change the bedding and prep it for the next patient. I just stare at the spot where Lucy last laid. I never got to say goodbye. I never got to tell her how much she meant to me. She never got to hold the baby, I never got to watch her hold Nicole.

Tears began to flow as the last bit of strength left my body. My knees gave out and I fell to the flow screaming for Lucy. "LUUUUUCY' I screamed at the top of my longs until they were soar. I finally collapsed against my knees as I let my sobs rack my body.

I just laid there and cried not caring who saw me.
