What If I Die? 2.0

Why? Why now? Out of all the time why now? Why take him from me?

"JACE! NO!" It was all so fast, they were just leaving to go cook their dinner they were so excited for. It was like thunder, you couldn't see it but you could hear it. The groceries that they bought were all over the ground. Screams of the people flooded Ivy's ears, the police trying to calm everyone down, the terror that had shaken the small plaza with a blink of an eye had everyone in a state of shock and panic.

"SOMEONE HELP!" She screams as loud as if she was the one that was shot. Her beloved's blood painted her hands. Tears flooding her eyes, she climbed into the ambulance and held his hand as they drive to the place that would hopefully save his life.

Ivy waited near the E.R along with Jace's parents and her own, waiting for the doctor to come out with the results of the surgery that has been going for hours. Minutes passed and Ivy was becoming even more frantic, the more time that had passed without word from the doctor made her want to scream.

"Excuse me, may I speak to the parents of the patient in private please?" The doctor came in blue scrubs and his latex gloves that were covered in blood, Jace's blood. She looked at Jace's mom and Jace's mom gave her a look of reassurance. However a look of worry was evident in the look, they both walked in with the doctor and didn't come back until 10 minutes later.

Ivy looked at his parents hoping for a sign of body language that showed happiness. Instead she got the complete opposite of what she wanted.

"Auntie what did the doctor say?" Ivy asks her voice cracking as she lets out her words.

His mom doesn't say anything, her hand over her mouth and tears begin to flood her eyes along with his father. "Auntie what did the doctor say?" Ivy asks yet again her voice slowly becoming a whisper. Her aunt cries harder and she hugs Jace's father, "Uncle?".

"He's gone..." He whispers. With those words her world crumbles, she falls to the ground and the tears that have been threatening to fall stream like a river. Her chest tightens and her comprehension of the situation was to fast.

"No! I-it can't be true!" She cries raking her hands through her hair in frustration. "Auntie i-it can't....no...he can't be dead" Ivy's mother and father crouch to her figure that was kneeled on the floor and hug her tight as she sobs into their arms. "He can't be dead".

^^^^^^^^

"Babe!"

"Luv! Come on let's go!"

"It's the best, I have no idea what you're talking about"

"Mine"

"Hey, I love you"

It shouldn't have been like this.

Jace, I love you so much
