{watch the video I tagged it's one of my favorite vp edits🥺}

Vegas
He's asleep in my arms, he cried throughout the whole night while I held him close, to see him like this caused me pain I've never experienced before.
It was as if all his feelings were my own.
I trace my index finger lightly down his cheek, he's beautiful, he's always been beautiful how can I make him see him as I see him?
This love is all consuming.
I never imagined I'd feel this kind of love.
I never thought it existed before him.

"How is he"? Kinn asks as we sit outside in the garden, I take my glass of wine and take a sip.
"He's falling apart" I say bluntly taking a cigarette.
Kinn exhales and puts his head in his hands.
"It kills me we couldn't protect them" he says.
Yes I know, it kills me every fucking day.
They'll pay for this

Pete
"Will you go somewhere with me today"? Vegas asks as we lay in bed wrapped around eachother.
"I don't know if I can"-" Please" Vegas cut me off with his finger to my lips.
"It's really important and I think it'll do you some good" he promises.

I panic as soon as we reach the spot where I got shot, what the fuck is wrong with Vegas.
"No"! I hit him as hard as I can while he drags me from the car to the spot where it all happened.
I try to fight my tears and calm my breathing.
"Look at me" Vegas places both hands on either side of my face forcing my eyes to lock with his.
"This place took something from you yes"? He says, what's the point of this?
I try to calm down.
I manage a nod.
"But this is also the place where you nearly bled out in my arms " he says horsey.
My hearth aches for him.
My mind is refusing to go back to that day.
"I thought you were dying and I couldn't imagine life without you" Vegas says his hands moving to hold mine.
"Without you I'm a shell of a man Pete , I gave you back now, by some miracle God sent you back to me" he says, my eyes are burning with tears.
"I didn't believe in god before, but then when you woke up I did"

"I'm gonna propose again right now Pete " he warns me.
He holds my hands and gets down on one knee.
My hearth starts to beat erratically.
My love for this man will never die.
"Say no to me and I'll still be with you" he says faking my engagement ring off if his finger and sliding it onto mine.
"Will you marry me Pete? Be mine forever"? My eyes water with happiness , be his? Always.
My whole body warms at the sight of him doing this.
My Vegas

I get down on my knees beside him.
"Yeah" I say proudly smashing my lips to his for the first time in months.
"Yeah"?! Vegas asks smiling wide.
"Yes yes yes"! I chart pressing kisses all over his face.
Our faces are wet with tears as I climb into his lap and kiss him harder.

"I love you so much " I sob burying my face in his neck, his arms wrap around my waist and for the first time since I woke up I feel safe.
