She ran to the bathroom slamming the door on his face. She was drowning in tears as she slid down the door sobbing. He was locked on the other side pounding on the door, demanding or rather begging she open the barrier. She was lying on the floor when he finally broke through. He dropped to his knees pulling her close feeling for her heartbeat. He wondered, could she hear him screaming?
"Please don't leave me."
"Hold on."
He fumbled to carry her to the car racing down the highway. He looked over at his love tears running from his eyes as he rushed. Finally reaching the hospital they took her away on a table. He paced back and forth waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally, he was allowed to see her and he ran like he'd never run before to her still frozen body. He took her hand bending down beside her pale face.
"Hold on, I still want you."
He Just wanted to hear her say "let's go home."  he just wanted to take her home. She flatlined.
"Come back." He whispered in a shaking voice.
"Please come back."
