Elena smiled, but elegantly broke into tears. She cried happily as Nate placed the ring on the finger. She looked at it and nodded.
"Yes!" she yelled happily.
Nate got up and hugged her as she did the same.
Their bodies pressed up against one another's.
They were now engaged.
He wiped her tears away and together they walked into the theatre.
Nate remembered that moment as if it were yesterday.
He sighed, remembering her death.
"Elena, Elena don't do this!"
The helpless body that once belonged to an innocent reporter was now in his arms. Her legs dangled off he left arm as he supported her head and waist.
'That ignorant, back-stabbing traitor!' Nate thought.
How could Sully do this? Why… why would he?
He laid her down on his bed inside the new house they had bought.
Blood dripped onto the ground.
"Dear God, strengthen my hands" he prayed. It was one, small, simple prayer. But it would have to do.
Nate couldn't believe it. 'She… no she can't be. She can't be dead.'
Argh!
He hoisted her up to support her position, elevating her head.
He got down on his knees beside her.
"Elena, please-"
He gasped.
He saw Elena breathing, not deeply, but lightly breathing.
"Elena!" Nate shouted joyfully.
"Nate" she slowly whispered.
"Elena, oh thank God…"
"Nate. I don't have much time" She replied.
"No, no you can make it, don't do this" Nate replied, tears coming out of his eyes.
Elena tried to smile. "I wish I had a jar" she placed her hand on his left cheek. "For your tears" she grinned.
After all the pain she went through, she's still smiling.
It just warmed Nate's heart.
Elena smiled at Nate.
"Elena please-"
"Just one kiss goodbye…" Elena whispered.
Nate was almost bawling.
He kept his manliness though and slowly leant in.
Elena placed a finger on his lips. "Take care of Chloe. You deserve her…"
Nate frowned. "No. I don't"
Elena just smiled and pulled him closer.
She perched her soft lips onto his for a long, sweet and gentle kiss.
Nate then slowly pulled away.
Elena's eyes were closed. Her breathing and heart rate stopped.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no, no" he cried.
"ELENA!"
