ARIAS POV:
I sat in this space. I couldn't find anyone or anything. Everyone disappeared from the hospital and all I could see was Ezra. Holding my hand. But he wasn't crying. he looked better. he looked okay again and I was so happy. I thought it was the same day but it wasn't. he pulled out a picture of his family. he cried and told me how sorry he was but how happy he was and how sorry he was that it couldn't have been us. then his children came in the room. Looked just like him. I cried looking at his beautiful kids then his wife came in and stared at me. "She was your first love?" "Yes." He replied as a tear fell from his face. she held his hand. I smiled because he moved on. maybe he never loved me. I loved him too much so I needed to let him go. She held his hand as he pulled the cord and let me go. then the room shifted. I was still sitting on a bed. I was crying because he pulled the cord without flinching or thinking or crying. Knowing I could never do that to him hurt me. I was shifted back to the roof it was weird. I saw Ezra again but jumping from the building again. I was confused. then someone was talking to me. I could hear a voice. "I can't live without her. She's the love of my life. she's everything I've ever wanted. I have all these thoughts and feelings in my head and if I had one last chance I'd tell her I loved her. Tell her how sorry I was for not fighting harder." it was a familiar voice. a mans voice. I was seeing different scenes and sides to Ezras life. With or without me. before and even after me. he was so happy before me. so so happy and when I see him with me I dragged him in the dark with me. I brought him down because he was so caught up in the idea of being in love. he was one of the lucky ones who still believed in true love and happiness and romance and fairy tale endings and was one of the few who were a hopeless romantic and would do anything for love until the point they're insane. he was one of the lucky ones who made it. And my love changed him. he deserved better so much better. I saw him change slowly and die slowly as I was with Andrew. I saw how he got rid of his pain. I saw how me loving him eventually killed him. I saw how happy he was without me. I saw how in love he was with me and how I brought him in the dark and how I changed him. I saw him love someone after me. I saw him kill me. he didn't even blink or shed a tear. I was gasping more and more for air laying in this bed but then the room shifted and went flying in front of me and felt like I was in my own body again. I woke up and I was laying in bed. Laying in bed next to Ezra. I stared around breathing heavily. I looked over and I saw Ezra. He was alive. I was alive and I wasn't in a coma. It was all a dream. but why did I have this horrible dream that made me feel like I was stuck in multiple dreams at once that I couldn't stop. it felt real. but once I saw Ezra laying there I looked at how dead he looked. My love has killed him. he was alive and breathing but on the inside I killed him. maybe I shouldn't have done this. Maybe I shouldn't have left the alter maybe I shouldn't have stopped it. I loved him with all my heart but it's not enough for someone as amazing as him. I saw a box in my dream and I saw a box on the table. I walked to the box there was a ring. I wrote Ezra a note he could read once he woke up but I wasn't sure. I kissed his forehead and said "promise you'll save me." and moved his hair and walked out.

EZRAS POV:
I felt something on my face and I looked over to see Aria gone and a door shutting slowly at my apartment. I heard her speak gently to me. Something about saving her. what happened to her?
