Marshall's POV
"Angel." I said. I chased her down the stairs and she pushed me.
"Don't touch me." She said.
"ANGEL! Man we jumped in too fast, cause since then I can't be apart from her." I said and she scoffed.
"Yeah, KIM AND YOU-" She kicked the door, "DESERVE EACHFUCKINGOTHER!" She screamed.
"NO, YOU DON'T FUCKING GET IT!"
"No, this ain't love."
"WHAT IS IT THEN?"
"It's desperation. I'm tired of life. There's something so much better than this!" She said and grabbed her keys.
"ANGEL!" She sprinted to her car and I got in my Mercedes. She speed out the gates and I sped out with her. I placed on my seat beat and she started swerving.
"Fuck Angel don't crash. Please don't crash." I slowed down as I saw her hit the brakes and then the car flipped.
"No! No, Please give me five minutes. It crashed on it's roof and I heard screaming. It sounded like her screaming. I got out the car and ran to the car.
"Marshall." She said groaning.
"I'm here."
"Stop screaming." She said.
"I thought it was you."
"No, it's you. Just, flip the car please." she said. I lifted and pushed.
"Just keep swimming." She said and I looked at her. I kicked and pulled and finally it flipped. I grabbed a ranch from my car and pried at the door. I got it open and I fell on my ass. I stood up and grabbed her. She was holding something on her chest.
"Babe, what are you holding?" I tried to move her hand and she hit me.
"No stop. It feels like I have a shard of glass in my chest. Please don't pull it. It's in my lung, I can feel it. Please."
"Baby." I said and she screamed.
"No, no, no. It wasn't supposed to be this way." She said holding the glass. I heard a police car and ambulance in the background coming closer. I pulled her into my arms and she looked at me.
"Remember when we first met." She said monotonly.
"How can I forget."
"I love you so much. I don't know why I'm finally telling you how I feel 20 something years later. I love you more than live in it's self and I hate myself for being such a bitch. I love you so much."
Hospital
She was out of surgery and in the ICU. The doctors didn't know if she was going to pull through. I was praying with her hands in mine. They debated on what to do for hours. So, tomorrow she may not be here.
"Paul Walker has died in a fatal car accident." I looked at the TV and groaned. I looked at her and kissed her for the longest time.
"Baby, just- if your going to leave you can go. If your ready. I love you just. Go." I said and her heart stopped. I grabbed my hair and screamed.
"No. No. No. Not you not you Angel. Not you."
Funeral
"Ummm, I don't know how I'm doing this. How a week ago I was holding her in my arms. Telling her that I loved her. I lost my best friend- my soul mate. My only best friend that I had left. She was a woman who-" I stopped as the snot ran down my nose and the tears dropped to my shirt,"I'm sorry. She was a woman who took me in when I needed somebody to love me. She showed me the meaning of living. She was suffocating with sadness for the past year and she was just getting her footing. I relapsed back into drinking so when I put her into context she thought I was talking about a woman and she flipped and she lost control and I lost her. Her last words were 'I love you so much' and she meant what she said.
3 Days Later
I walked into the shower and closed my eyes when I opened them there she was.
"Holy Shit!" I shouted.
"Shush."
"Are you real?"
"I'm as real as you want me to be." She said and I looked at her. She didn't have any pimples, no gray hair, no wings, no injures. It was just her.
"You look amazing."
"You can touch me." She said and I pulled her into a hug.
"Did you see DeShaun?"
"Yeah. Yeah. He's coming down to see you in a couple of days." She said softly.
"Do you have wings?"
"Yeah. But, I can't show them here. They bend in with my skin." She said and kissed me.
"Look at me Marshall. I can't move on until you do so please. Don't wait for me. Date anybody you think I would like."
"I love you."
"I love you too." She said and faded away.
