Thank God I Found You

[Zach]

This is really hurting me.... Why? Why her?!

I clutched even more on the locket and the ring while I cry until I was hyperventilating....

Wait...

What's happening?!

Everything around me seems to disappear!

Wait!

Trent, Julian, Jayden, William!!!

No!!!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

+++ ** SPLAASSSHHH!!! ** +++

A cold wet substance kissed my skin and I opened my eyes and saw my bandmates laughing at me. Jayden was holding an empty glass.

"So much for sleeping Zachariah Brian Russell!" Jayden said.

"Argh! Jayden!!!" I said, annoyed. "Now I'm all wet!"

"Eww.... That sounded wrong!" I heard a girl's voice behind me and I knew that voice, it was the voice of the girl that I love...

I turned around and saw her sitting up on her bed. I also noticed that we're still in the hospital and I looked at myself and I was wearing a hospital gown and looked a bit pale.

"Mariah...? You're alive?" I said.

"Yeah..." She said. "Kristine couldn't kill a fighter like me." Then she winked at me and ran to her and hugged her tight as tears of relief and joy came out of my eyes.

Thank God!!! She's alive!!!!

++ AFTER 1 YEAR ++

We were walking around the beach, feeling the fine sand slipped through our toes while hand in hand.

"I can't believe that it's been a year now and we're still together." She said.

"Yeah..." I said. "You know Mariah, when we were at the hospital, I had a bad dream."

"I know." She said. "You were screaming and crying out for my name and because you were so difficult to wake up, Jayden decided to pour a cold glass of water on you. So what was your dream about?"

"I dreamt that you had developed this brain tumor and then died in the end... It's really crazy, I know but... I was shitless scared Mariah! I thought it was true!" I replied, letting out all of the feelings of fear, pain and sadness in me.

"But I'm still here..."

I smiled, "Yeah. I know." I said. "And guess what?"

"What?" She asked.

"We're finally gonna open that locket!"

"YAY!!!"

I opened her locket and then pulled out the ring from it and held it right in front of her. Tears of joy started to stream down on her cheeks as she put her one hand over her mouth. I knelt down on one knee on the sand and held her left hand, "Mariah, we've already been a year now and because of my bad dream in the hospital a year ago, I became afraid that I'll never be able to say this to you again so I'll say this right here, right now... I love you and this ring symbolizes that my love for you would be infinite and that it would always be true. I LOVE YOU MARIAH."

And then I put the ring on her left fourth finger. I stood up and we shared the most passionate kiss ever.
