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 184. Or by the break of day disguised from hence.

My mother appeared at the door, alerting us of the imminent arrival of Garrett's parents. I unconsciously tightened my fingers around his and leaned in to kiss him, for what would probably be the last time for weeks, so I lingered a little.

I wiped a stray tear from the curve of his cheek, and whispered of my feelings, that he could count on me to be there for him no matter the situation… and then I stepped back, slowly letting his hand slide from mine.

The enormity of the situation hit me the second his parents darkened the hospital doorway.

End Note:

RL was kicking my butt majorly the last few days, and sadly, writing paid the price. Will endeavour to do better this week. Hugs Suz xx
