The Space In Between

Cameron's pov

I'm watching myself die. I don't want to die, I want to live for Lucy. I want to live in that house with the white picket fence around it and to have our three children to grow up and be just as wonderful as her. I want to watch her achieve her dreams. I want to reconnect with Nash and Hayes. I want to marry Lucy.

That's the deal I make with myself.

If I wake up I'm going to achieve all of these dreams and nothing will stand in my way.

Lucy's pov

I sit up in my hospital bed, even though it hurts to see if Cameron will be ok. The doctors begin CPR and try to bring him back but the heart monitor is still flat. Tears begin to well up in my eyes as the doctors begin to loose hope.

My heart sinks as they pack up their stuff and begin to leave. Mailey is crying as one of the doctors talks to her. She turns her head and sees me, she shakes her head and buries her face in her hands.

Cameron's still body laid in the bed as they covered him up with a white sheet. They wheeled his bed out of the room and into, what I guess is the morgue.

I don't remember the rest of that day all I remember is that I cried endless tears.

I'll never be the same again.

*4 years later*

I sit at the desk of a high school classroom smiling at my students as thy take their seats.

"Good morning class, I'm Mrs. Parker and I'll be teaching you for the year. So let's review some books you will be reading for class this year." I began to explain earning a few groans from some students.

*later that day*

I got home from work and was embraced by a hug from my daughter. She held to my leg tight and then she pulled away.

"Daddy just told me we are getting a puppy!" She exclaimed as Jake walked through the door with a husky puppy in his arms.

"What should we name it?" I asked her pretending to care.

"I'm thinking, Jaxx." She said then took the puppy and played with it outside. Jake and I exchanged glances as I went to the liquor cabinet to get what would be my 10th drink of the day.

Oh what a wonderful life....

Oh my gosh nooooo!😱😭😭😭😭😭

Cameron wasn't supposed to die💀
