"EMILY" Hugo shouted. He rushed over to my body. He turned me over. He tried his hardest to wake me up but I didn't. He began to cry. "No!! No, Emily please, please wake up. I'm sorry, just wake up I can't loose you. EMILY!! I love you." He cried. Hugo scrambled through the room to find his phone. He rang 911. 10 minutes later the ambulance arrived. They broke down the door and rushed over to me. Hugo didn't let go of my cold hand. But the man dragged him away. "No she's my fiancé. You can't take her away from me. Please. I need to go with her. She can't do this on her own. She's my everything." Hugo cried. They lifted me onto a stretcher. Then into the yellow noisy ambulance. They wrapped a blanket over me. And but an oxygen mask onto my breathless mouth. I didn't respond and they didn't know why. Hugo sat crying into his red hands hoping I'd survive this. He didn't look at me. He couldn't. He burst into the fourth set of tears. He reached his wet hands across me and held my hand, hoping I would show some movement.
"Emily, if you don't make it. Just remember this, I love you and I always have. You've turned my world upside down and I thank you for that I suppose. I want you to know I will always love you, you are my first and last true love. And I am thankful for that. I've stuck by you through it all and you have too. You may die any second now but you'll never die within me. You'll always live inside of me. If you do die every night I will go to our spot. Where we first met and look up into the sky and when I see the brightest star I'll know that it's you. But I won't need to because you'll get through this. You always do Emily. That's what I love about you, nothing can stop you. Try Emily try." He finished. He thought I might of responded at that moment but I never did. The confused man rushed past Hugo making him let go of my weak hand.

Once we had arrived at the hospital they rushed me into theatre. Hugo waited in the waiting room. Walking nervously around with his tired hands wrapped around the back of his head. He hadn't sat down once. "I should of took her......... I should of" he muttered. " why didn't I? Why?". As his fist reached for the wall, a doctor grabbed him. Hugo turned around."WHAT?" He shouted. "Please sit down the doctor said. Hugo slowly sat down. "I'm very sorry about what happened to your fiancé" he anxiously said. "Her cancer has come back, and it doesn't look good." He continued. "Her cancer started off in her liver but has moved to various other places. She is struggling to fight this battle. We have got her stabilised but she is tired and very weak." He added. "Can I see her?". Hugo insisted. "Yes but remember she is very weak". Hugo rushed from his seat and sprinted to my side. I lay cold but still. He paused. He couldn't get strength to walk any further. He looked at me. He eventually came strolling towards me. He reached out for my pale, ice cold hand. He sat down. He didn't say a word. He put his tired head into his hands with mine. "Why? Why didn't you tell me that the cancer had come back?" He asked. He some how thought I would reply. But I didn't. He wasn't to surprised by my reaction. "I want to be with you, have sad days and happy days. Travel the world with you. Please. Please don't give up. Emily I'm begging you, pull through this. I've never loved someone this much. Well I've never loved anyone bar you. And we're getting married it will be the happiest day ever. But you need to try Emily, you need to beat this." He cried. He burst into a flood of tears. Crying hysterically in his tense hands. Hoping, praying, thinking I'd pull through. But I don't really know if I will. He then began to sing " Oh her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not trying. Her hair, her hair falls perfectly with out her trying she's so beautiful and I tell her everyday. Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me and it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what
I see but every time she asks me if I look okay...." He sang. A doctor walked in behind him. "I'm sorry but she needs rest." He kissed me on my dry forehead and whispered in my ear "i love you Emily, stay strong. I'll see you tomorrow". He walked out and before he closed the dark door behind him, he starred at me for a moment or two. He slowly sat down. "Go home, you need some rest as well. She's in good hands" the doctor said. "I don't want to leave her, what if she wakes up. She won't know where she is or what had happened". Hugo added. "I'll stay here" he continued. The tall doctor nodded and headed to the desk. Hugo closed his upset eyes.

*Beep *Beep *Beep. Doctors came sprinting to my side as Hugo began to rise. As soon as Hugo had realised what was happening he rushed to his sore feet. "What's happening?" Hugo quickly asked. But no-one replied. "Someone tell me what is going on" he screamed. He placed his shaking palms against the stain window as he watched the doctors. A tear came strolling down his face. His palms scraped down the window as he fell to the floor. He then curled up, rocked back and forwards. More tears came out of his filled eyes. "No....." He screamed. "No no no. Please don't let this me the end". I wasn't responding to the doctors. But that didn't stop them. They would give up, not now. This can't be the end.
