Ana's Pov

Days flew by after that. Ray went home shortly after he say that Christian and I were good and I was no longer at high risk. I wished Christian and I were as good as we where making people think. While yes, he was there everyday after work. The wall between us was undeniable. We talked but. it just seemed like a massive elephant in the room neither of us wanted to talk about.

It was a week after the shooting and I was getting discharged. I got out of bed for what felt like the first time in month but really had only been days. I was packing my things when I heard the door open, turning I saw Christian. He looked angry. What the hell?

"What are you doing?!" he asked accusingly, throwing his briefcase on the floor and coming over to me and trying to usher me back onto the bed.

"Christian! Stop!' I yelled shimming out of his hands. Despite my telling him to stop treating me like a broke little child, he still did. "I'm being discharged. I'm going home." I said continuing to gather my things. I was so desperate to get out of here and move forward in my life.

"What do you mean go home? You were shot a week ago!" He said standing there, complying me to stop with his the power of his will. I did. This was a fight I was tired of avoiding. I knew Christian had been seeing Flynn, and I wasn't noting a change at all.

"Yes I'm well aware of that Christian. I was there ya know? But medically there is no reason for me to be here anymore. My incision is healing well and I'm fine." I said crossing my arms, showing his I wasn't about to back down.

"I'm speaking to your doctor!" He yelled, turning his back to me and began to walk away. Fury boiled within me, and I pulled his arm turning him around.

"No you won't! God Christian I can't do this anymore." I felt the lump in my throat yet I carried on anyway. "I'm tired of living this way! We pretend there is nothing wrong. yet there is a massive elephant in the room."

"What are you trying to say?" he snaps in a way that was so cold and bitter it made what I was going to say next a little easier.

"We are done, Christian. Every single day since the shooting you are pissed and you treat me like I'm some child. I thought Flynn could help, but obviously that's not the case."

Christians Pov

Her words shattered me. This was my worse fear coming to light. I felt like I wanted to be sick. Her eyes filled with tears, and I ran my hands thru my hair. I knew I couldn't loose her, but by the look in her eyes I knew I couldn't convince her to stay. Her face looked so broken and sad. I couldn't leave, but I couldn't stay. I got up, trying to sink in her perfect face, taking the back of my hand stroking away the stray tears from her face.

"I love you Ana." I said, kissing her forehead and with that I left. I hurried out of the hospital and into my car. Once the door shut and I was all alone the surge of emotions escaped. I cried, and not a few stray tears cry but, a screaming agonizing cry. I had lost the love of my life. I had a chance to have a future, a hope that I had never felt before. I don't know how long I sat there. I drove home in a fog, everything was in a fog. I got home and threw myself on my bed. I laid there and just took in it all. I couldn't function the grief and worry of it all weighted on me. I stared at the ring box, opening it I looked a the engagement ring I had bought for Ana. This ring stood for something, a hope of a house and kids and an entire future with Ana. And now, it represents a dream, that was turning into a nightmare.
