Goodbyes

"Why?!" I scream watching as my best friends body gets rolled away on an hospital gurney. "Y/n please!" You boyfriend yells trying to calm you down and pull you back to the waiting room. "Why? Why did she do this?" You ask slowly giving up and letting him sit you down. "I don't know baby." Ashton, your bf whispers. "I could've helped her." You say, voice breaking. "If I had known-" "there was nothing you could've done baby. Please. This is in no way your fault." Ashton pleads, grabbing your face in between his hands and turning you to look at him. "She was hurting and there was nothing anyone could have done." "But maybe there was." You whisper, looking into his eyes. "Family of lily?" You immediately spun around looking towards the person. "Over here." You say holding your breath. "I'm so sorry for your loss." The doctor says looking down. "No. Please." You plead, grabbing your boyfriend to hold him close. "We did everything we could. I'm so sorry." The doctor explains. "Thank you." Ashton says. "Of course." "Can we go home?" You whisper looking up at Ashton through blurry eyes. "Of course love." He says grabbing your hand to lead you outside. He leads you to the car opening the door and helping you into the passenger seat. After a five minute drive you arrive to his house. "Why don't you go change, I'll bring you up some tea." Ashton says, lightly pushing you to the stairs. "Thank you." You say giving him a light peck on the lips. You go upstairs and change, then get into bed. "Do you need anything else baby?" Ashton asks, handing you the cup of tea. "Just cuddles please." You whisper, trying not to cry again. He slowly climbs into bed with you, taking the cup from your hands and setting it down. He pulls you down so your head on his chest. You lay like that for awhile no talk just the sound of the two of you breathing. "I love you so so much." You say, looking up at the love of your life. "I love you so so much too." He responds, kissing your forehead. You two then drift off not thinking of anything or anyone other than being in the arms of the person you love the most.
