Love You Forever

Chapter 71

Dean's POV

I look down at her lifeless body. Bray and Brian have escaped as I am here with my half dead girlfriend. Blood is pouring out of her....fast!

"CALL AN AMBULANCE!" I yell to Seth. "NOW!"

Tears quickly escape my eyes as I cradle her. "You said you'd never leave me. Please don't leave me."

Her eyes slowly drift close.

"No baby, please! Pease, YOU SAID YOU'D ALWAYS BE THERE!"

Charlie's POV

As soon as Dean screams, I am jolted back to pure consciousness.

"Dean." I don't even recognize my own voice.

"Baby, we called an ambulance. Just hold on till then. Please!"

I try my hardest to lift my hand, letting it find it's way to his face.

"Let me go." I manage to get out.

His eyes widen. "What?! NO!" He says, panicking. "There's an ambulance coming. You'll be fine. YOU'LL BE FINE!"

"Dean, I won't make it till then."

"Don't say that." His tears make my heart break, but I only have a limited amount of time.

"Dean, I love you. I'm at peace now. I'm at peace with this." I know I can barely breathe and I could easily just let go right now, but I need to hold on for Dean.

"No! NO! I don't except that! I need you! I love you!"

"And I love you. And I will always be with you."

A tear escapes my eye, rolling down my cheek and his lips fall onto mine.

That's the last thing I remember as I drift off forever.

Dean's POV

When I pull away from her, she's gone. I can tell by the way she's already paled that she's gone.

That's it. I've lost her.

Now I have nothing to live for.

I wipe my tears, looking behind me to see Seth, Roman, and AJ with tears in their eyes also.

"They can save her right?" AJ asks. "The ambulance is on it's way! They can save her right?"

I take a deep breath before placing two fingers on Charlie's neck. I look back at AJ. "No. They can't. She's gone."

And that's when she breaks down.

I can never understand AJ and Charlie's friendship. I just know they meant a lot to each other.

And I know I never approved of Charlie's relationship with Seth, but I can tell his heart is breaking by the look on his face.

Then I see Roman. Charlie was like a little sidekick best friend for him. She was his baby girl, and he was her Rome.

Just like she was Seth's sweetheart, and he was her Ninja.

Just like she was my everything, and I couldn't be her hero.

I could never be her hero.

And now she's gone.

"I need a moment." I request.

AJ, Roman, and Seth remain in their places. It's like they just ignored my request to leave.

"Please!"

They finally surrender, walking back to the car in tears.

My tears still clog my vision as I look back at her. She's so beautiful.

I remember the first day I met her. She was the cute little teenager I never expected to fall so in love with. I've done things with her I'd never do with anyone else. I've said things to her I've never even thought of saying to someone else. She was my everything, and I couldn't save her.

I look down at her, rubbing my finger over her ring. "This is all my fault. We didn't even get married." I almost laugh at my pathetic self. This is my fault, and I'm the one to blame. I knew I wasn't good for her from the start. All this would've never happened if I would've just stayed away.

I should be punished.

I look over. A few inches away from me lays the gun that was used to end Charlie's life.

I reach for it, clasping it in my hand before looking down at her.

"You were everything to me. You've always been everything to me." My sobs interrupt me momentarily. "I never wanted it to be this way. This is all my fault, Charlie, and I'm sorry! But I guess that doesn't mean much now." I say, taking a deep breath.

She was my everything. I have nothing without her. I have nothing to live for.

"I never meant to hurt you, but this whole situation has just spun out of control. And I will never forgive myself for letting this happen to you." I stroke her hair softly. "You made your final breath today. You saw the world for the last time today, and that's my fault. I have nothing without you. I love you."

I slowly raise the gun, placing it against my temple. "I love you. And that's why I have to do this. I caused this and I'll burn in hell for it."

I let my fingers run through her hair for the last time before grabbing her hand.

"I will always love you."

I take a deep breath before counting to three.

"One."

I set it up.

"Two."

I let my eyes look at her one last time, letting myself know that I'm doing this for her.

"Three."
