You came back into the operating room horrified to find Shawn's heart rate at only 15 beats per minute. 

"Give me that! I made a promise to Aaliyah and I'm keeping it!" You shouted and grabbed the defibrillator from the other surgeon.

"CLEAR!!" You shout and shocked Shawn again. There were no changes.

"Doctor Y/L/N, it's unlikely he's gonna..." Another nurse says but you ignored her.

"CLEAR!" You say again and did the same procedure. But for some reason, the heart rate doesn't wanna recover.

Suddenly, you heard the sound that you never wanna hear during any operation. The monitor began to beep repeatedly and you saw that Shawn's heart rate is now only 1 beat per minute. 

There was no way he's gonna make it now. 

You placed the defibrillator back and heard the sound of a single beep on the hear rate monitor. Doctors and nurses inside the operating room couldn't believe it. They began to take out the equipment and rolled Shawn's bed to an empty room. You covered his body completely with a blanket. 

Aaliyah comes in the room in tears.

"S-So, how is he?" She asks as you heard the anxiety in her voice. 

You couldn't lie. She has to know.

"Have a seat." You motioned her to sit down on a chair. You pulled another one and sat beside her.

"Aaliyah..." You whisper and grabbed her in the shoulders.

"He didn't make it." You began and she started to bawl.

"I'm so sorry. We tried to recover him using shock but he just wouldn't come back..." You whisper and she stands up to go to the bed.

"C-Can I see him for the last time please?" She asks and looks at you. 

You nodded and took the blanket off. Aaliyah gasped as she saw Shawn laying down peacefully as if he was just sleeping. His eyes were closed and you didn't see his chest move up and down and she put her hand on his chest.

"No heartbeat..." She whispers and covers her mouth with her hand. 

She then held his hand but felt no squeeze back. The pain was becoming too much. 

"I'll leave you two alone for a bit..." You say but Aaliyah wanted you to be with her.

"No, doctor. I don't think I can say goodbye to him permanently without breaking down onto the floor. Please stay with me..." She asks and you nodded.

"S-Shawn, why did you have to go? The only time I can hear your voice now is if I listen to your music, but you won't be able to hear me say how much I'm proud of you and appreciate what you do not just for me, but for your fans all over the world who love you just as much as I do. I won't be able to hear you say goodnight to me before I go to bed. I won't be able to cuddle with you anymore whenever I have nightmares. And most heartbreakingly, I won't be able to give you hugs and kisses whenever you leave and come back from tour. I love you so much, Shawn. You've taught me a lot of things as I grew up with you." She says sincerely and you teared up a little at her speech.

"That was beautiful." You whisper and she mumbled a thank you. 

You went to his bed and covered his whole body again with the blanket. 

Not long after, breaking news hit the world about the death, fans immediately reacted negatively. You could even hear loud crying outside the hospital already. Aaliyah held onto you and hugged you tightly.

"I-I know you didn't mean it. I forgive you." She says even if you haven't apologized to her. You just smiled and hugged back.

Shawn was now only a memory to never forget.
