Train wreck [ Joseph Morgan ]

~{THIS IS A GOODBYE SONG}~

🌜~{ Joseph's .P.O.V. }~🌛

"And as you laid there, back to the floor, eyes shining bright, laughing about something that happened years ago, I couldn't help but watch... The way you smiled melted my heart, the way you laughed oh how it echoed throughout the room, the way you rolled around looking back at me. And as I look at you, your hair all tangled, wearing a t-shirt and sweats without a care in the world, I couldn't help but fall even more in love but that was only 22 years ago and the memories never seem to fade away, they are always embedded into my mind for me to remember the great moments we spend together, you and I." I smile brightly as I intertwined my hand with my beloved who is currently resting in the hospital, in her bed with machines awaiting to her every whim.

"It's still hard to grasp what happened, like it seems to happen just yesterday and I was on the pavement of the hospital, crying my heart and soul out. What you did, why you did, the theories behind it, the mechanics, I all understand it now. I studied it for you. I just wish I'd understood it before when you're still clinging to me for life support, like I'm your anchor that keeps you from floating away from this world that demands too much of you." I say as soon as a tear begins to cascade down my cheek and soon I begin to cry.

"I wish I held your hand tighter, and hugged you a little bit longer, and listened to you a little bit more patiently. But I didn't. I took you a little bit for granted because I thought you'd be my forever, that you'll always be here on my side, that you'll always be my partner in crime." I sigh. "When you left us, the world stopped spinning for me as if for punishment. That's the time I also realized that time could bend, that time could stand still and that it could stop just like that for me, the bright noise of the world dimming in a blink of an eye, the curtains closing, and I'm left with nothing but your memories and the white noise behind. And contrary to what you always say to me, I learned that there's such thing as too late. And I'd been too late. I'm so sorry Alice." A few tears cascade down my cheek to the white bed sheets of Alice's bed as I lay there, holding her hand was the only thing that brought me happiness instead of sadness.

"How is she doing?" Daniel walks up to the foot of the bed where I am laying and pats my back. I didn't look at him, instead I kept my eyes on Alice.

"Not good, the doctor says she will be in a coma for six months." I sigh sadly as I gaze at Alice's sleeping figure. I watch as her stomach inhales up and exhales out with every breath she takes through the oxygen mask, the only thing giving her life.

"I'm sorry to hear that Jo." Daniel spoke, stroking my back apologetically. He was really sad to see his friend like this. Alice and him were pretty close, like father and daughter close; it was weird.

"Thank you, Daniel." I look up at him and smile and go back to watching over Alice.

"Jo, how about I take you back home; you've been staying in this hospital for 47 days." Daniel acclaimed. "A nice warm shower and a warm meal will do you good." Daniel proclaims with a smile.
