I was pushed aside as doctors came rushing into the room. The monitors were all reading critical. Tears were running down my face and I was scared that i was losing her. That her life was slipping away. A million horrible thoughts and fears flooded my mind, threatening to consume me completely, when I saw her head turn and her bloody broken hand reach for me. I ran to her side, I grabbed her hand and held tight, She started to speak softly. "Hey beautiful." She whispered, barely audible. The tears were continuously streaming down my cheeks. " Hey baby. Look you're going to be ok. You will be alright. You're going to make it through this." I was speaking so frantically, as if I was trying to convince myself more then her. " Look hun, we both know i'm not going to last. I'm not going to be ok. Now listen to me. This is I want you to do. I want you to so stop crying, and I want you to listen to me ok, can you do that?" I was taken by surprise by her comment and she just was laying there, looking at me, waiting for my answer. Despite being so broken, I never seen her more calm. All i could do was shake my head yes and wipe my eyes dry. "Good. now i want to let you know that these past few months have been the greatest in my miserable life. I have never been happier. I'm glad that i found you, and i'm glad that you chose to love me." I could tell she was trying very hard, to stay strong. I could see her holding back her tears. How she was able to keep herself  this way, knowing full and well she was on her death bed, I'd never  understand. I could never keep my composure if the roles were reserved and I was in that bed. Then again I was never as strong and brave as she was. She was always so tough and was able to do what I wasn't able to. Listening to those last words had broken the dam I had built to keep the salty waters from rolling down my face." I'm glad that i found you too." I said, starting get all choked up. " No matter what happens just know that I love you. I knew that would fall for you the second that I had laid eyes upon you . You are my soulmate and I'll experience a thousand different life times if it meant finding you. I love you." I was pouring my heart to her like I should've before. "I love you too, I always have and i always will." She smiled and then she closed her eyes and the monitor read flat-lined, there was no heartbeat. She was gone.......

My name is Annabeth and the story of our love is short but powerful. The day we met wasn't accidental, it was destiny. Fate made it as our hands were meant to hold the other. At first I didn't realize that. I only noticed my fear, and I hid her and my love, but now it's too late. I wish I could go back and change it all. Here, allow me to tell you where it all started. It was that one Wednsday morning where it all began, where my life got better.
