It was now quiet but empty coughs and the sound of birds cheaping outside were the only noises that echoed through the church. She stared down the isle which seemed alot longer now, the doors were there all she had to do was move but she couldn't she was frozen in place. She started breathing deeply, her mother's face turned from a calm smile to a worried panic, somehow she knew something was wrong.

Ashtons hand was held out, patiently waiting for her to make the decision that would change his whole life. Philips face still however a smirk that covered it, he was sure she would pick him over anyone, who wouldn't. She stood there watching as everyone's heads slowly drifted to her, waiting for her to make the decision. Her face turned pale, while a numbness entered her body and her skin turned to a icy snow colour. This was when a weightlessness travelled through her death like body and she fell to the ground. Her lips turned to a violet colour and her breath became a wheeze. As she fell, she looked up at the roof that had wooden beams crossing to each side, they were frail and weak, like her. She thought about how that was the last thing she was ever going to see and she didn't like it, she wanted to see something that she could take with her.

Philip panicked and froze and Ashton ran over to her, grabbing her head before it hit the ground,her head layed comfortably in his hands as he slowly layed her head down. She looked at his face and was content; he was the thing she wanted to see, he was the one she wanted to see for the rest of her life. As she layed there, hardly moving, she placed her fragile hand on his and she whispered through her weak voice

"I love you too". For a moment pure love raced through her and then she slowly slipped away into the dreams she had of the two of them together, leaving a room full of people pulling their phones out, rushing about the church, trying to get hold of an ambulance.

He looked down at her big eyes that he so longed to see, he looked up and pleaded

"Please, I will do anything just let her be OK?".
