12:47 A.M.
The clock read, I sighed. The hours were getting later as I sat on the table. Jesse has been out for hours now and I was getting worried. He would have called if he was going to be late,he was supposed to be here.
I walk to the window, there's no one in the driveway. I dial his cell- no answer. I call his brother, he says he hasn't seen him. I look back up to the window, still no sight of him. I bite my thumbnail and stare out. My cell rings and it startles me, I don't recognize it but I answer anyways.
"Hello?" I ask into the phone.
"Melody Martinez?"
"Yes, this is her. How can I help you?"
"There's been an accident."
My heart sinks to my stomach.
"Is it Jesse?" My voice cracks.
"Yes, you need to come into the hospital right now." The line goes dead ,I can't think for a minute.
Jesse is hurt.
He needs me.
I pick up my keys and drive to the hospital. I think back to December, when Jesse proposed. He bent down on his knee first and he said,"I want you forever,forever and always. Through the good, and the bad and the ugly. We'll grow old together. Forever and always."

I pull right up at the entrance, I run to the front desk.
"Jesse Martinez." I cry out to the nurse.
She leads me down a million hallways, a maze that's never ending. She tells me of the accident but I can barely hear her over the sound of my pounding heart. I try to keep a straight face as I walk into the ICU room. I sit at his bedside and hold his hand too tight.
He's covered in tubes and bandages. Everything is broken. The sight upsets me.
I tell him about the kids we are going to have and the good life on the house on the hillside where we would live.
I smile through my tears at him,"Stay there forever,forever and always. Through the good, and the bad and the ugly. We'll grow old together an always remember. Whether rich or for poor or for better. We'll still love each other. Forever and always."
I get in idea and call in the nurse. They bring the chaplain and he says a couple verses. I borrow some rings from the couple next door. Every one is laughing as our tears fall to the floor. I look into Jesse's eyes and say,"I want you forever,forever and always. Through the good, and the bad and the ugly. We'll grow old together an always remember. Whether happy or sad or whatever. We'll still love each other, forever and always."
I finish my vows but his beeps are getting too slow, his voice is almost too low. He grips my hand with the last of his strength and says,"I love you forever,forever and always. Please just remember even if I'm not there, I'll love you forever, forever and always..."
The beeps stop and his hand goes limp.
