*Kelly's POV*
~present day ~
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud beeping sound. "She's awake!" I hear around me. My eyelids open slowly, "Ben" I croak to my boyfriend sitting next to me. "You're awake! Do you need water?" He asks in awe and shock. I nod, my throat dry and scratchy. He hands it to me and helps me take sips from the plastic cup and straw. My throat feeling relieved, I smile up at him, "Thank you." "Of course, do you remember what happened?" He asks concerned with my memory. I remember it vividly, but I don't want to tell him about it. Too much blood and fear to have to live again. "Sort of" I reply hiding the truth. My mom runs up to me, "Honey, you're up!" I smile unable to say anything while more people coming rushing toward me. I clutch onto Ben, who understands what I'm feeling. "Guys can you please step away from her?" He asks as kind and polite as he can. Most people get the message except for a few people who bombard me with questions. "Can I please not answer them now?" I ask stressed and overwhelmed. The people step away and I lean back with relief. As I close my eyes, I remember what that voice said, You'll be back, I shot up pulling Ben as much as I could manage to whisper into his ear. "I need to tell you something... Alone" I whisper knowing what the voice was saying. Ben helped me summon my parents out of the room into the hallway. "What is it?" He asks full of concern. "This is going to be hard, but it's my time to go. I'm not going to live much longer, I know that. But I want to tell you that I love you with all of my heart. I always have and I always will. I'll be your guardian angel. Tell my parents that I love them. Please don't mourn for me. Live your life and forget about me. Don't sit in your room and cry for days. Just live it happily and enjoy what life has to offer. I know that the car crash happened. I was there. I remember all of it. I love you Ben and I always will. Move on and enjoy the rest of life for me. Just be happy. Please." As I say this, a tear slowly roll down his cheek. "Death tried to take me but I wanted to say goodbye to you first. I love you Ben." My arms wrap around him. I start to feel life draining out of me. My soul rising out of my body.
*Ben's POV*
As she tells me her story, I hug her tight, not wanting to lose her. I love her with all my heart I can't see her go, not now, not ever. I will never forget her. She changed my life those 3 long years ago. As we embrace, I feel her body becoming limp. Her body becomes heavier in my arms. She's gone. She's really gone. Tears roll down my cheeks before I realize it. "Kelly" I croak through tears, her body motionless. I yell for her parents. They come running in. "She's dead" I croak, Kelly still in my arms. The nurse comes in. And tries to take her away from me. "Sir, you need to let her go please, sir don't make it harder than it already is." Tears roll down my cheeks as the nurse pulls us apart. My light, my life has left me for good.~~~~~~~~
