I Love You, So Much...Till Death

Promise?

Georgia's P.O.V

It's been a week since Mark ended up in the coma. Slowly, my mind is losing hope. His family has come, staying with me, visiting him at the hospital. Mother would check up on me from time to time. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so lost, so hurt. I don't think I can deal with this any longer. Dr Smith is right. The longer Mark is in that coma, the more his body is suffering in the fight to stay alive. I laid on my bed, silently looking at the window sill.

"Georgia?" Mother said
"Yes Mother?"
"I need to talk to you about something"

I looked at her with concern, sitting up on the bed.

"Mother, what is there to talk about?"
"I think it would be best...if Mark...doesn't suffer any longer"
"Are you saying you want Mark off life support?! You want him to die and go to heaven?!"
"Georgia, you must understand that Mark may never even get out of the coma"
"No! I have gone through too much with him just for him to die now! I have loved him for a long time! Mark and I are engaged, this is our commitment to each other! Can't you see that?"

Mother started tearing up but she wiped them away and placed one hand on my closest shoulder.

"Of course I can" She answered "But do you want Mark to suffer with pain any longer?"
"He's not in pain. He's just sleeping"

I placed my legs by my chest and hugged them, putting my chin on my kneecaps. Mother sat on the bedroom floor, her cries began to show.

"I want my son to not be in pain. I wanted him to grow old with a family. A parent is supposed to be buried by the kids, not to bury their own kids! I have already had my ex husband die on my children, I don't Tom to lose a brother!" She explained.

Mother went on "I know what you are saying, Georgia. I don't want him to die too. But, this maybe a time where all we can do is let go of people. That way, when we let of the, they don't need to feel the pain of being set free"

My tears streaming down my face increased as I burst into sobs, letting my cries have volume and my emotions erupting like a volcano. I looked at Mother, then at the ring.

"Mother, I have to make a call"

I left to grab my phone only to find a message. From Carla.

Have you made your choice yet? Tick Tock.      - Carla

I'm sick of all her games. I'm going to end it once and for all.

Santa Monica Pier. ASAP.

I put on a cardigan and put my phone in my handbag. Tom looked at me with confusion.

"Where you going, Georgia?" He questioned
"Can you take me to Santa Monica Pier?"
"Sure, I'll grab the keys"

I nodded and Tom told Mother that we were leaving. We drove the distance until we got there.

"Thank you Tom"
"Anything for my soon to be sister in law"
"You never know"

I hopped out of the car and walked on the wooden boardwalk. Carla has done what I have told her. She looked at the sea with a smile. I walked closer to her, my footsteps causing her to turn around and see me.

"You know Georgia, you surprise me" She laughed "You came here to give me your answer"
"Yes I did" I responded with seriousness
"You sound so unlike. This must be very serious"
"Of course it is, you are asking me to break up with my fiancé"
"Because he doesn't deserve you"
"Because you are disgusted at the fact that he chose to be with a 16 year old girl"

Carla stayed silent. I looked at her with disappointment. I decided to give Carla my speech to her.

"Why are you being the way you once were with him? You never helped him, he needed somebody and you left him when he needed you. He lost his father and the love he had just went away because of his battle with grief. Now you want the woman who has been helping him through the rough time to never love him again because of a status that doesn't matter when loving someone.

You disgust me. I may only be sixteen but I know love. And I have treated Mark way better than you ever will. I know that because you will always go towards the men that benefit your greed, as opposed to your heart. You never contributed, you never took good care of him and you most certainly never loved him the way he should be loved. Truthfully and always"

She was shocked. Her face appeared as if I have never done something like this before. She judged me too easily. She took a step forward and looked dead into my eyes.

"I loved him, Georgia. I truly did. You don't know how we got together, what made us together. Mark and I deserve each other"
"With the way it all ended, you don't deserve a another go**mn chance with him"

Her eyebrows frowned and she grabbed my shirt.

"This is your last chance" She warned "You have once decision. Either you break it off with him, or I tell everyone the relationship between you two, including your age"
"I have made my decision. And it no way affected me by your threat"
"Well, what is it?"
"You will find out soon enough, only that you promise one thing"
"Tell me now!!"
"Then keep my promise first!!"
"Fine! What's your promise?"
"You don't dare hurt another lover again. Don't you dare ruin any relationship you come across, don't leave someone when they need you, love like they will be there for the rest of your life. You promise?"

Carla set me free.

"Promise"
