Toby's POV

I sat next to her holding on her hand so thankful that she had woken up. I almost lost both of them. I can't imagine how it would feel to lose both of them.

"I'm sorry Toby" She said as she let go of my hand

"What are you sorry about Yvonne?" I asked in confusion

"I thought I wanted you to be by my side til the moment I died but can't watch you be in pain over me. I can't watch you sweet, blue eyes cry over me. I can't watch you big, goofy smile go to waste. I just want to see you happy." She said starting to cry

"What are you saying Yvonne?"

"The doctors told me I would die in a few hours, I didn't tell you because I didn't want our last moments together to be you in tears. I wanted our last moments together to be full hope and happiness but I can see you are still sad and there is nothing I can do to fix that. But I know one person that will be able to make you smile again. I know this isn't what you want to hear but I can't make you happy anymore. I am just becoming this void of sadness and I am slowly sucking you in."

'Yvonne, you aren't a void of sadness. You are the only thing in my life that makes me happy"

"Toby, both of us can tell you are lying"

"But I can't go to her, not now. I can't leave you, knowing that this will be the last time I will see you"

"No. Go. I want to see you happy, I actually need to see you happy. I want you to marry her, I want you to have kids and I want all of this because, I know it will make you happy. I know if you married me, our love would slowly die down and life would just be dull. I also know that you weren't totally invested in our love because you always thought about her. I have heard you cry before but when I was in the coma, I couldn't see things or respond but I could hear clearly. I heard you talking to Emily about how she got shot, you thought you were going to lose her and I heard you break down in tears. I heard the words 'I never got to tell her I still love her' repeated over and over again, in between your cries. I know how much you still love her because when you two look at each other there is a certain spark in both your eyes. You never looked at me that way. You love her. Run after her."

"No, I'm not leaving your side"

"Toby, at this point you are hurting both of us. I can't stand to watch you be sad and you can't watch the love of you life fall for another guy. I have seen the ring, its beautiful"

"What are you talking about?" I replied nervously

"Again, we both you are lying. I saw the ring, you bought it for her and you kept it"

"How can you tell its for her, it might just be a present for you" I lied

'It had and engraving on the inside 'Safe place to land' followed by a 'S+T' I think that it gave it away. When were you planning to propose?"

"I was going to propose on the 14th of February '2/14' but then we had really big fight and I stupidly was the one to walk out. I regret that everyday, I regret that I didn't run back into her room and take her in my arms. I regret that I let her go."

"Then go after her"

"I can't, she is in a new relationship and I don't want to ruin her chance at love"

"You are already ruining it"

"What do you mean?"

"You are ruining her chance of love by not running out of this hospital and taking her into your arms"

"Yvonne, why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?"

"Why, are you letting me basically run after another girl when you are practically dying in front of me?"

"Because seeing you happy before I die means that I will die peacefully," She said casually, I was stunned. She was helping me fix the biggest mistake of my life. She was helping me give another chance at love.

"Yvonne, you are truly the kindest person in this world,"

"No, I'm not. I am just letting you fix your biggest mistake. Leaving her,"

"Thank you Yvonne, truly thank you" I said with a big grin forming on my face

"Stop thanking me and go" She said with a big smile and a small chuckle

"Thank you" I said as I ran outside of her room

"GO GET HER" She screamed as I ran out and I chuckled

As I was driving to her house all I could imagine was our future together, how we would grow old together and have little kids with six packs running around the house I built for her. I pulled up to her house, the house with some of the best memories in my life. All because of her. I saw the lights on inside. I filled with anticipation as I fiddled with the ring in my pocket. As she was coming around the corner, far enough for me to see her, my heart skipped a beat. Her beauty. Her smile. How did I give that up? How did I let her go so easily? I let someone else do the job I was destined to do. Love her.

My heart swelled with excitement until I heard a second voice. She wasn't alone. It wasn't any of the other girls. This was a man. She took his hand in hers and waltzed to the couch, with a loving smile. I tried to think positively but all I saw was her in someone else's arms. As they kissed my heart shattered, my throat dried up and my body felt like it had stopped.

She was wrapped up in someone else's arms.

She was happy.

She wasn't mine anymore.

I rushed back into the truck, with all our memories in it. They all started to play in my head

Take it, it's yours

I love you so much

I wanted to say that first

I thought we felt the same way about each other

I found a way to survive my secrets bu,t everybody I care about gets hurt

Shutting you out is killing me

Pretending not to love you was the hardest thing I've ever done

My shirt was drenched from my tears, I held onto my stirring wheel and just cried. I went outside and I left the engagement ring on the door steps, attaching a small note. As I calmed down, I started to drive to the hospital. Still wiping tears from eyes. As my jelly legs walked to Yvonne's room, I noticed her mother sobbing next to her. I reach for hand and she collapsed in my arms.

She's gone.

I lost both of them. I have no one. Yvonne is gone and she is gone. Why?!? People I love always leave. Yvonne. My mum. Now her. I can't believe I lost the one person that I love with all my heart.

Her.
