Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly Imagines

AC - Without you

Again I sat in the car and stared at the building in front of me. I sighed deeply as guilt coursed through me for the thousandth time. What I wouldn't give to undo the events that brought me here. A time machine would be a great thing in my case. Then I could just travel back in time and give myself a kick in the ass.

I had fucked it up. I had lost the best thing that could have happened to me in life, because I had not seen how precious it really was. Only when it, or rather she, was gone did I realize how empty my life was without her love.

My thoughts wandered back to the day when everything broke into pieces.

Flashback

"My God, Adam! I'm not asking you to marry me right now. All I want is for us to finally set a date. That's all. Is that so hard?" yelled Y/N at me as our argument grew more heated.

"We're still going to do that. Why are you in such a damn hurry to do it?" I asked, annoyed.

"We've been engaged for over a year. It's only fair to ask when we're going to get married. We haven't planned anything yet. We haven't even talked about it yet. I'm tired of people constantly asking me when the big day is and I have to tell them that I don't have the slightest idea. My fiancé is so stressed out with his work and his beloved video games," she replied aloud.

"So what? Are we getting married for us or for other people? Just ignore them, Y/N. Simple as that." I said.

"How can I ignore it when I ask myself that same question, Adam? Again and again I wonder if you will ever marry me! Because it sure doesn't seem like it!" she hissed.

"We will, but not right now. We'll talk about it when you've calmed down." I replied and was about to leave the room.

"Don't you dare leave me here like this!" yelled Y/N after me.

"I don't have time to argue with you anymore. My stream is about to start." I said.

"Oh well then hurry up! We don't want you to spend too little time in front of the computer. Apparently to get attention in this house you have to be a fictional character in a game." she replied. Her voice dripped with sarcasm.

"You're acting like a little kid. I have no idea why I even asked you to marry me." I muttered.

"So that's how you see me, is it? As an inconvenience?" she asked.

"My goodness, don't be so sensitive. I didn't say that. You're just a real pain in the ass sometimes." I replied with a roll of my eyes.

"Thank you for your honesty, Adam! Either love me for who I am or don't. I've had enough of your indifference. I'm important and if you don't care about me or don't care about me anymore, I can leave!" said Y/N in a high-pitched voice.

"As if!" I said, surprised at myself at how snide it sounded.

"You know what? That's it! I've had enough... we're done!" she replied now with a firm voice and a look I couldn't interpret.

"What?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"You heard me. I'm leaving. Then you'll have time for all the things that are really important to you." she said, pulling the engagement ring off her finger and placing it on the table.

Then she walked past me but stopped at the door.

"One day, Adam, you will realize that I was the best thing that could have happened to you in your life," Y/N said so softly that I could hardly understand her.

It didn't take me long to realize how right she was. She really was the best thing in my life. My rock, my sanctuary. And I would have loved to make it all up to her, but fate got in the way.

One wrong step was enough to take her away from me, maybe forever. So now, as I found myself in front of the hospital, these thoughts were running through my head again. Why had I hesitated for so long? What if we had just talked about the wedding? Many, many questions and no answers.
