Fix Our Love [Sequel to Pretty Love]

Chapter 19- I Didn't Save Her...

[Patrick's POV]

I watched Julia and Pete as they left the police station. As they drove away, I waved even if they didn't see.

"Next stop, home!"I told Anna.

I looked over at her and she smiled.

"Finally!"she laid back in the passenger seat. "Finally get to sleep for the rest of the night. What a relief..."

I chuckled and started the car. The air conditioning blew cold air and I could hear Anna's teeth chatter.

"Cold?" She nodded and I turned it down. "Better?"

"Yeah. Thanks, Patrick!"she replied.

I kissed her cheek.

"Your welcome, baby."I said.

Her eyes sparkled at me. Anna bit her bottom lip.

"Dang. You're so cute!"she said and pinched my cheeks.

I blushed. Anna rubbed my cheeks with her thumbs and brought me close to her. I felt like chemicals were trying to pull us together. And we forced them to. Anna's lips suddenly touched mine. Feeling her soft lips on mine made butterflies fly around in my stomach. Even for four years of dating and seven years being married, I still wasn't used to these butterflies. And I probably never will. Anna made me feel this sort of way. A way that I always wanted to feel. And I liked it.

She pulled away and giggled.

"Butterflies are still flying in my stomach..."she told me.

"Mine too!"I replied.

I felt her grab my hands. "If I could marry you again I would say yes!"

"And I would say yes too!"She giggled. "Well, let's go home now..." She nodded and I pulled out the parking lot. Then, we left to go home.

A quiet ride home was peaceful. There were only a couple cars on the road, including us. Peaceful, barely anything going on in the car. Anna was half asleep in the passenger seat. I looked at her and smiled. Her eyes were closed and I saw her breathing, perfectly fine.

"I love you..."I told her. "And nothing is going to change my mind." I watched the road as I talked. "This baby we are having, I will love and care for it as much as I can. I won't abandon you or the baby. I'll be right next to you the whole time. Even when times get hard and we yell and fight, I'm not letting you go. Because when I said forever, I meant forever." I heard Anna moving in to passenger seat. She moved her position, still sleeping. "Anna, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me. If you weren't there, those people back at college would have torn me apart. And I wouldn't be this happy. Because of you, my life is better. Thank you, baby..."

"Oh, you're welcome, Patrick!"I heard. I looked over and saw Anna's eyes wide open. "I heard everything. And Patrick..."I looked at her.

She smiled a big smile at me. But when she did, she began to scream. Her eyes soon focused on the road. I quick looked and a big truck came at us. It got closer and closer and I tried to move out the way. But, I didn't move to fast enough. The truck hit the car, sending me with a big scream, like I was screaming for God.

A painful feeling came through my leg. That's all I knew at the moment, nothing else. But my life with Anna flashed through my eyes like it was an old film running through me. I saw everything. The kisses, the times we sat on the roof of the college together, the times we would stupid and prank Julia and Pete, and the times we made love. All those memories flashed before my eyes and it seemed like they were going to leave me, forever.

After they ran through me, I saw nothing but the back of my eyelids. Darkened. Black. Pitch, pitch black. And I felt pain. Painful feelings. It seemed like nothing else mattered anymore. But I didn't see a special light come upon me, taking me away. But I couldn't explain why. Was it not my time?

I forced my eyes to open up. Once they did, I saw the light from the street lights. Air bags were in my face. I could hear someone's voice off in the distance, but it wasn't Anna's. I looked over to my right and saw her. But red liquid dripped down from her head. I began to cry.

"Anna! Baby, are you okay?" I asked. Her head faced the right. And I couldn't see her face. I couldn't move so couldn't move her. "Anna, it's going to be alright. I can hear someone! I think they are getting help!"

I got no response. Maybe she just fainted. I tired to move around. My arm soon got free and I touched Anna. I moved her head to face me.

"Anna, it's going to be al-"I saw her face. Her eyes were closed, like she was sleeping. But blood dropped down her face. I screamed for help. She can't be gone. She just can't. "Anna, please! Answer me!"

I looked at her and reached for her chest. I put my hand to her heart. Nothing. No breathing what so ever. Again, I screamed. I couldn't help myself. It was my fault she was gone. It was my fault that I didn't pay attention. It was my fault that I had to be all lovey at the moment. Everything was my fault and I couldn't bare to see the love of my life to be gone. I guess I truly didn't save her. Because it was my fault. I can't stand what I just did. Because of me she's gone. Because of me my whole life is gone.

I began to cry, like a little kid again. I couldn't help myself. I needed her. She's gone all because of me. I'm the irresponsible one, not Pete and Julia. I could t hear voices in the distance, saying they'll get help. But really, my heart needed help. It was broken because Anna is gone. And I didn't save her. I just let her go...
