Never Forget Me

Leaving My Past Probably My Future

.Sam.

I watched her sleep as I played with her hair softly.

She snored lightly and I just laid there admiring her features.

Her brown locks and her curved eyebrows.

Then her pointy long cute nose, to her full pink lips. At this point I just wanted to kiss her.

But I couldn't cause I didn't want to wake her up, and then I wouldn't be able to leave her.

I got up slowly off the bed and walked silently to a desk by a window. I grabbed a little piece of paper and found a pen.

There's only one way to do this,

"Dear Riley,

I couldn't watch you cry and beg for me to stay, so this was the easier way.

I left you a note at home, I thought you'd see it after I said goodbye to you before I got on the plane but here it is, when you see the letter back at home I'll already be at my destination and I'll call you as soon as I get there.

And here's one more thing, I will always love you. Don't give up on our love. I will miss you!

Love Always Sammy-Kin"

There were tears on the paper, I wiped my tears and looked back at Riley.

She looked peaceful, too peaceful.

I looked at her heart rate in the monitor and gasped at the rate.

It was going down slowly. I touched her wrist and felt that it was cold. I looked at her face and saw the paleness, and her bluish, purplish lips.

I ran out the room and shouted out," Help! Please, someone my girlfriend is dying! I felt her skin, it's cold!" I screamed in front of a group of nurses and doctors.

"Kiddo, calm down! What room is she in?" A nurse asked me.

"She she's i-in 9-9-943!" I stuttered and pointed to her room.

A nurse pulled me to the side and started asking me random questions, while a doctor and a few nurses ran into Riley's room with the electric thing and counted down to 3 and called out clear.

"1 - 2 - 3, CLEAR!!!" The doctor shouted.

They continued after three more tries, and they began mumbling.

I ran past the nurse and saw her. She wasn't moving at all. No movement. I started crying and holding her head in my hands kissing her forehead.

"Noooo Riley, nooo don't do this to me. Please, doc you have to do it again!" I shouted grabbing the electric thing from the table and rubbing it together, but the doctor grabbed it out of my hands.

And two male nurses came after me and pulled me out of the room.

They sat me down in the waiting room and waited for me to calm down.

*10 Minutes Later*

Her parents walked in the waiting room and ran into her room and immediately I heard Melissa's cries and shouts of her only daughter's death.

She came out and started screaming at me, "It's all your fucking fault! If she just went to college this year and stayed with Jacob she would still be alive!"

"Melissa calm down, it wasn't his fault." John said grabbing her arm.

" What do you mean it's not his fault? He was leaving to go to Afghan for the Military cause of High School and now we find out that our daughter died of depression! It's all his fucking fault Johnathan!" She croaked.

I just sat there quietly looking at them bicker about her death, like that time in High School when they found out I slept over their house without their permission which caused me and Riley to almost break up. But we did after a month cause of her EX Jacob.

The words "It's all your fucking fault" ran through my head like a bullet. It hurt me to think that my fiancee's own mother hates my guts.

I looked up and saw her dad walking away.

So I decided to walk after him.

"John wait up!" I shouted.

"Hey Sam."

"Sir, you know it wasn't my fault, and I'm happy you see that too!"

"Yeah I know Sam. I like you a lot. You're better than Jacob , he was a douche and it's not his fault either. It's mainly our fault. Melissa would always nag about her not going to college or not becoming a singer and following her dreams. So it soon became my fault too when I started going against her dreams and listening to her mom and just gave up on her. So you can just go on to the Army and fight for her love and our country."

I looked at him and hugged him, he hugged me back and I started crying again.

He patted my back and rubbed it until I couldn't cry anymore.

We said our goodbyes and I walked towards her room and saw her brothers and Minnie.

Todd, Josh and Adam ran outside to hug me and we all smiled at each other's appearance cause men don't cry. I chuckled cause I was the one that had the reddest face.

Then Minnie walked towards me and hugged me tightly and cried in my arms. I kissed her forehead and she started stuttering some words," S-Sam , s-she w-ould've-e l-l-oved to h-have your c-children. And waited for you t-to come back from the w-war." She croaked.

After a few minutes she let me go and Todd took her in his arms.

I looked at all of them and waved my goodbyes and walked into her room.

She looked really pale now.

I sat on the bed and held her hand in my hand and kissed it.

I looked at her face and rubbed my hand over it and kissed her cheek.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I said good bye and walked out into to the elevator.

I got off the elevator and called my Sergeant and asked him to meet me at my house.

That's the last place I need to be at right now.

Just to take it all in and never forget her.

Never forget Riley.
