I kneels beside Theresa's hospital bed. Holding her hand, salty tears running down my face. I lifted her hand to my lips and gently kissed it.

"C'mon baby girl... You can't leave." I cried. I put my head on the bed.

"Mr. Gilinsky?" The nurse called from the doorway.

"Yeah." I responded not lifting my head.

"Theresa has a few other visitors... Would you like to be present or step out."

"I'm not leaving her."

"I understand." The nurse waltzed out the room closing the door behind her.

I pressed my head harder into the plastic mattress. Please, please, please. Don't leave...

"Hey bro." Cameron's voice came from the door way.

I looked up, knowing my eyes were red and puffy. At this point I didn't care, "Hey, what're you guys doing here?"

Cameron gestured from himself to the rest of the guys, "We came for you."

"Me?"

"Yeah, you need to get out of this hospital room... Come do something with us."

"I can't, what if she--" I broke off looking at my beautiful girlfriend'a closed eyes, picturing a wide smile on her face making her chocolate eyes light up. A small tear made it's way down my sun kissed face.

"Man, she wouldn't want you to not continue living your life. It's been three months, if there was going to be a change don't you think it would've happened by now?" Carter asked.

"Dude! What Carter's trying to say, is that we miss you. We love her too but not as much as you. We think you need a break..." Aaron clarified.

"C'mon. If not for you, than for Theresa." Taylor piped up.

I nodded and stood, "You guys are right... She hasn't showed signs of waking up.. An hour or so shouldn't hurt."

"Yes!" Nash cheered.

I bent down and kissed Theresa's smooth cheek imagining the flicker of a smile crossing her face, "I'll be back soon. I love you."

I turned to the other guys, "So, now what?" I asked.

"I don't know let's go drive around and see what there is to do." Johnson said slapping my shoulder. "It's good to have you back." He added.

I sat laughing with the guys at the restaurant that they had chosen.

"It's nice to see you smiling again, bro." Nash said grinning.

"It feels nice to smile again."

My phone started ringing. I looked at the screen.

"Hello?" I asked my voice quaking.

"Mr. Gilinsky?"

"This is he."

"Theresa, is starting to respond."

I dropped the phone and quickly picked it up, "I'll be right there." I hung up.

The guys were starring at me wide eyed.

"That was the hospital.. Theresa is starting to respond."
*****
I ran into Theresa's room. She looked the exact same as when I left, except slightly pale.

"Why has she lost color?" I asked the nurse who was checking her IV.

"Her heart stopped twice but started up after... I don't think she has much time left."

My smile fell. I couldn't loose her. I turned toward Theresa and sat down beside her bed. I grasped her hand.

"Hey there baby girl. You're doing so well, just keep going please..." Tears started rolling down my cheeks.

The corners of Theresa's mouth lifted slightly. She squeezed my hand. I looked up and smiled.

The heart monitor went straight. Doctors came rushing in, "Her heart stopped again! Let's get this going."

"Mr. Gilinsky, you'll have to go." The nurse said pulling me out the door.

"THERESA!" I shouted trying to break free of the nurse's grasp.

"You can't help here. She'll be better off if you leave."

My limbs went slack and the nurse led me out.

Jack stood outside the door wide eyed with worry. I broke down and started to sob. Jack pulled me into him tears running down his face as well.

We stood there for a bit just crying. The doctor came out.

"I am so sorry." She said said her eyes watering.

"Can I say goodbye?" I asked.

She just nodded.

I walked the ought the door shaking. Theresa looked peaceful as if she were just sleeping. She had looked that way for the past three months.

I bent down and kneeled beside her, "I love you. I will never forget you... You were my one true love... I'm really going to miss you.. I love you." I sobbed kissing her hand. I stood and kissed her cheek before walking out.

It's alright Theresa... I'll let you go..
