Splendour Mine

**..**..**..**..**

A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 182. Doting like me and like me banished.

-Garrett-

My whole body hurt, but that ache was nothing compared to my throat where the pain overshadowed everything but the feeling of Jasper's hand wrapped around mine. I probably should've buzzed the nurse for painkillers using the button she'd pushed into my hand, but I knew my time alone with Jasper was short; I didn't want to spend it barely conscious.

My parents would be here soon and much as I wish that I could tell them that I'd found the love of my life, I just couldn't do it. Not now, I didn't have the strength to do it.
