I love you

His POV
How could I have let this happen? Everything was going perfectly until it wasn't. I run around trying to look for y/n or anyone from my mafia. This is all my fault. I thought there would only be a few people. I was wrong, so fucking wrong. My side burns from the stab wound and my mind spins as I look through the bodies on the ground, hoping none of them are hers.

"Y/n!" I yell looking for my best friend and the love of my life. "Ace?"I hear her small voice whimper. I look around and spot her on the ground, her body covered in blood. 'Please don't be her blood.' I thought to myself as I ran towards her. I kneel next to her and place her head on my chest as I cradle her in my arms.

I look down a blade in her abdomen and wince as I take on how deep it is. "Ace?" I look up and see her soft y/e/c eyes looking at me. "Please. Take the blade out." She whispers, burying her head into my shoulder. "No, y/n. That's what's keeping you alive right now." I whisper, rubbing my hand over her arm and bringing my other hand up to cup her face.

"Please." she pleads, coughing up blood. "Y/n. Stay with me. I texted the guys and they have my location. They're on their way." I break into tears as I see the pain in her eyes. "Please. It hurts." She cries, grabbing my hand that's resting on her face and leaning onto them. I hesitate for a moment but if this is the last time I'll see her I don't want her in pain.

I shift her gently in my arms and grab the blade in my hand. "It's ok." She whispers, looking up at me. Blood pours from the corner of her mouth but neither of us make a move to get it. I nod and slowly remove the blade from her abdomen.

Her POV
I whimper as the blade buried deep into my abdomen is pulled out. "Shh. Shh. It's ok. You're ok." My best friend Ace coo's, cradling my head on his lap. "You're gonna be ok. We're gonna fix this." He whispers, tears cascading down his face. I grab his hand that was resting on my stomach and intertwine our fingers. "What are you doing? They'll be here soon with the car." Ace pleads, putting his other hand on my wound and applies pressure. I gasp softly and look up at him through blurry eyes.

"We both know I'm not gonna make it." I whisper, coughing up blood. "No. You are. I can't lose you." He starts out strong but his words end in a whisper. "You won't. I'll still be here. You just won't see me." I smile at him sadly as a car rolls up near us. "Help me get her into the car." Ace yells as someone runs over towards us. I feel arms pick me up and see it's my other best friend Lorenzo.

"Y/n? Stay with me." Lorenzo pleads. I'm placed in the back seat and Ace quickly slides in next to me as Lorenzo sits in the passenger side. "Go! Now!" Ace yells at Mateo, our other friend. He immediately slams his foot onto the gas and the car seeds down the street. "Where are you?" Ace questions, looking down at me while putting pressure on my wound again. "I'm here." I whisper, giving him a small smile.

That was always something he'd ask me when I was zoning out or not paying attention. "I'm here." I mumble, laying my head on his shoulder. "No. Stay awake." He shakes my body causing me to groan in pain. "I'm sorry but you can not fall asleep." Ace says, looking down at me as I lift my head from his shoulder. "I know." I mumble as my eyes flutter shut. "Fuck! Y/n, no! How far away are we from the hospital!" Ace yells as I slowly start to go limp on his arms.

"Still a couple minutes! I'm going as fast as I can, there's too much traffic!" Mateo yells back, panicking. "Y/n! Stay with us! We're almost there." Lorenzo says, looking at me with worry. "I'm.... Sorry." I whisper, straining to stay awake. "Y/n. Please." Ace pleads, voice cracking. "I love....you." I whisper, using the last of my strength to kiss his cheek. "I love you too. You can't leave me." Ace pleads, grabbing my hand on his.

"I'm not. I'll always be here, you just won't see me." I push through the words and lay my head on his shoulder as I look up at his eyes. I smile at him as my eyes flutter shut and for the first time ever. I don't want to go to sleep.
