I woke up in my motel room. All I remember was driving quietly last night.  I love him, he love me., but I can't live without him.  Can he live with out me?  Obviously, he can if he doesn't want to see me.

          I've been sober for 18 months.  Vic helped me through recovery.  It's been two years since my last suicide attempt, right before I started dating Vic.

          I can not live without him.

          I knew what I had to do.

          I grabbed my keys off the bedside table, my mind spinning.  At this point I was driving dangerously fast on the back roads.  I slammed on my breaks so hard that they squealed.  I could see Vic's hotel in the distance.  I knew it was time.

          Before I knew what I was even doing, I slowly and shakily climbed the railing of the bridge. My eyes were bloodshot from crying. Bracing myself for impact, I started to lean forward.  Arms wrapped around me.

               "Don't do it.", a voice whispered in my ear as he pulled me back over.

               "Vic, I was just-"

               "Shh, babe, I know. I know.", He whispered, stroking my hair.

          He led me to the passenger seat of my rental car.  We drove for a few minutes in silence, until he spoke up.

               "Why?", He croaked.  Now I could see the lines on his face form tears.  I didn't answer.  He knew.

               "Mariana, I love you.  I've never loved any girl before you came along.  If you would've...died, it would have been my fault.  I LOVE YOU, MARIANA ANNABETH SAMUELS!", Vic screamed with his tear flowing faster out of his eyes, making me cry harder.
