I was awake. Next to me was my girl. She was just sleeping. Tonight it was happening. I was praying. All night. Hoping that it wouldn't happen. Hoping that someone would come and save her. I didn't look at her. I knew if I was going to look at her, I was going to cry. I don't know her for long, but I've never in my life met a girl like her. I think… I think I'm really in love with her. I can't believe this. Finally, I've found a girl that I like… That I love and God is already taking her away from me. TROY! STOP THINKING THAT! I heard a groan. She was waking up. I can't look at her. She's hurt and I can't do anything about it. I hate it. I love her.

From the corner of my eye, I could see her opening her eyes. Her eyes, deep dark brown eyes, like always. But there weren't so warm anymore like before. I could see, she gave up hope. That's another reason why I can't look at her. Not now. She tried to sit up a little. I heard her gasp in pain. I closed my eyes as hard as they could close. One tear escaped from my eye. She saw it because I felt her soft hand on my bare chest. I opened my eyes and looked at her. I started at her feet, up to her legs, knees, thighs, stomach, breasts, neck and eventually her beautiful face. She had this sad smile. I forced a smile back. Don't cry, don't cry…

'Troy…' She said.

Her voice sounded so weak, so shaky.

'Gabby…' I simply answered.

I saw her hesitating look. Like she was doubting if she would just have a little chat or just leave it there.

'How are you?' She asked after a while.

I looked at her. My mouth open, shocked, like I never was before.

'How am I? HOW AM I?' I practically yelled at her.

'I'M FINE GABRIELLA! NEVER BEEN BETTER! EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT YOU'RE DYING, DAMN IT!'

'Troy…' She whispered uncomfortable.

'NO! DON'T!' I yelled.

I stood up and left. I was walking almost running.. I knew everyone heard me. I knew everyone was looking at me. Then, I felt guilty right away. I was imagining how she must look right now. Her eyes would be wet and red, her mouth curled into a frown, her lips pressed against each other, her hands around her middle, her hands would be shaking and her head would be turned away to hide her face from everyone else and pale like she always was ever since that one day that she started bleeding.

I stopped walking and turned around and walked up to her furiously. She looked just like how I imagined her.

'HOW COULD YOU GIVE UP LIKE THIS? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? LEAVING ME? HUH?' My vision was blurry because of my tears in my eyes. I felt them falling but I didn't care.

'What? I… I'm not giving up…' she said teary.

'YES? YOU DID!'

'Troy… Stop yelling…' She whispered.

Her voice kracked. My face immediately went softer.

'I didn't give up. Not yet.' She said.

I sat next to her. She slowly dropped her head on my shoulder. I kissed her hair and put my head on top of hers.

'I love you…' I said without thinking.

'Excuse me?' She asked.

'I…' My voice went quiet.

'You don't have to make me feel happy. You shouldn't have said that just to make me feel good.'

I turned next to her. I took her hands in mine and kissed her. She gasped in my mouth from pain and I quickly pulled away.

'No… Not yet.' She said pouting.

I smiled.

'No… I'm hurting you.' I said.

'No no! Please, again…' She smiled.

I slowly leaned in and pressed my lips against hers. Should I try again? My lips looked for an entrance between her lips. Just when I was about to give up she opened her lips and let my tongue find hers. They battled for a few seconds when I felt her flinch. I quickly pulled away quickly. She smiled weakly and closed her eyes. I hugged her and closed my eyes.

'I'm sorry about before…' I said.

'It's okay.'

There was a silence. I opened my eyes and looked down at her. She still had her eyes closed. I smiled without knowing it.

'What are you thinking about?' I asked.

'My sister…' She said in a sigh.

'What about her?' I asked.

'I miss her. She's great. I love her so much.' She now opened her eyes and looked up at me smiling.
'She was always the one waking me up, jumping on my bed and I could just be so… So mad at her for doing that. Now, I don't understand my reaction. I should laugh and jump with her.' Tears were filling her eyes. 'I should be telling her that I really love her. She's my angel, sunshine and star… She's just so special and she doesn't even know it.'

I pulled her closer to me and nuzzled my nose in her hair.

'Tell her when you get home.' I whispered.

She yawned.

'Sleepy? Again?' I asked a little confused.

'Yeah. Really tired.' She answered.

'Then go to sleep. I love you.' I said.

She was really quiet for a few minutes so I thought she was already asleep.

'I love you too.' She said suddenly.

I smiled and kissed her hair in response. There she lay, slowly falling asleep. Scaring the creeps out of me with the thought she might never wake up again. I checked her pulse once and a while. Looking if it was still there. It was getting darker outside. She started coughing so I put my hand for her mouth. I pulled it back and saw blood. I panicked and tried to wake her up. I lay her on the floor and tapped her face.

'Sweetie, wake up… I know you're tired but just open your eyes… Open them.' I said.

She fought and succeeded. Her eyes were open. I smiled and kissed her all over her face.

'Please, try to keep them open… Can you do that, honey?'

She slowly nodded. She coughed again. Is this it? Is she dying? In front of me? In front of my eyes? She can't be. I love her and she loves me. She can't die. Her side was bleeding again. Her eyes closed slowly.

'NO! Gabby… Please… Open again… Please… Don't die…' I yelled crying like I've never cried before.

Everyone was looking now. I couldn't care. My love was fighting for her life and I was dying inside. She got her eyes open. I put my hand on her side and pushed it. She screamed in pain, crying, struggling.

'Please… Shhh… I'm trying to get it under pressure. That might help.' I said.

She shook her hand and pushed my hands of.

'Gabriella… I love you… I love you so much… I can't survive without you here…' I pleaded ,like she had a choice.

'I… I love you…' She whispered.

'Then stay with me…' I whispered.

I took her hand in mine, closed my eyes and talked to Him.

'Dear God…' I said.

'Don't… Blame Him.' She sighed.

I opened my eyes and looked at her. She smiled. I crushed my lips on hers and I kissed her. She kissed me with the rest of her powers. I pulled back and stroke her head. She coughed, closed her eyes.

'Open your eyes, Gabriella. Now…' I said.

She didn't react. She stopped breathing.

'NO!!' I crushed my lips on her again and blew all the air I had in her mouth. I kept blowing and blowing until I felt someone pull me away from her. I struggled but the person carried me away.

'SHE'S GONE!' The guy yelled when he realized that I wasn't stopping.

I struggled and succeeded to pull away. I ran back to her and put my head on het stomach. I cried and cried. I didn't care that everyone looked at me with pity. My hands were at her both sides. They started at her thighs and slowly felt their way towards her both cheeks. I kissed her closed eyelids, cold forehead, hard jaw and eventually her cold, blue lips. My tears fell on her lifeless face and rolled down like her own tears did 5 minutes ago. I wiped them and looked at her. I leaned in until my lips were 2 inches away from her ear.

'I love you, Gabriella…' I pulled away and looked at her face. I smiled thinking about the first time I saw her. In the airport, she looked so beautiful with her suit on. Her hair in a long ponytail over her shoulder, her lips curled into a little, cute smile. I sat back and held her hand, all night long…

I wanted to make you cry but don't think I did... Please comment...!
