The next day, Dan took me out to the cinema, because, according to him, we never went on an actual date before.

It was seven o'clock and we walked out of our apartment. We were holding hands and I knew that he finally felt happy.

I suppose it had all been a stupid coincidence, meeting him at the hospital, but I was so glad that we did. I had never met someone like him. He was special and he loved me. He loved me. Those three words still made my heart  skip a beat.

Just when we crossed the road, a car drove fast towards us. It didn't seem like it was going to slow down. Dan was standing, frozen on the road and not moving. As fast as I could, I pushed Dan aside. I saw him lying on the sidewalk and he looked at me with terrified eyes.

I wanted to run, but it was too late. I heard Dan screaming and saw his eyes fill with tears.

Then I felt the car hit me and it was all gone.

I was gone.
