【Beyond Birthday X Reader】

Chapter 15

You awoke the next morning, Beyond still asleep beside you.

'I could definitely get used to this,' you thought to yourself, a small smile on your face. You moved closer and snuggled into Beyond's chest. As you lay there, eyes closed, surrounded by Beyond's warmth. You listen to his heartbeat. It's steady; comforting. You can feel yourself almost drift back to sleep. Then you feel Beyond's arm around you, pulling you closer into him. You look up, he's still asleep. You smile and tilt your head up to kiss him gently on the lips. When you pull away, you see his red eyes flutter open wearily. He smiles softly at you,

"Well good morning, beautiful."

You feel yourself turning red and bury yourself further into his chest. Beyond gently pushes you away to look at you, placing his fingers under your chin and tilting your head to look at him before pressing his lips to yours. It was a slow kiss; loving and caring. You were so lucky - to have someone who loved you so much, to have someone who cared so deeply, to have Beyond. Forever.

It was lunchtime and Beyond was taking you out. To where? A surprise. Again. You sat in the passenger seat of his car, watching out the window as the scenery whirred by. Beyond moved one of his hands off the wheel to place it on your thigh. You looked over at him and just smiled. All you did was stare, stare at this man who was your husband. You couldn't ask for anything more.

You arrived at your destination; a quiet little cafè on the corner, with wooden tables and chairs outside.

"Wait there"

Beyond says, jumping out of the car. He comes around the car and opens your door for you, holding his arm out and bowing slightly,

"Mi'lady"

You both giggle, as you take his hand, stepping out of the car. You cross the road and sit down at one of the tables, picking up the menus set up on the table. You take a deep breath, inhaling the smells around you, taking in the warmth of the sun on your back, Beyond sitting across from you. You looked at him and leaned over the table to place a kiss on his cheek.

"What was that for?"

He asks.

"I love you."

You said, staring at his red eyes, a gentle smile tugging at your lips.

"I love you too"

He said, laughing quietly.  A young girl then came over to take your orders.

< Beyond's P.O.V >

The girl left and I turned my attention back to (F/N), her eyes glimmered in the sunlight. My gaze couldn't help but to drift to the red numbers above her head.

"It's bright out here in the sun."

(F/N) said, shielding her eyes with her hand.

"Do you want to sit inside?"

"No, it's warm out here."

"I might have a pair of sunglasses in the car? Do you want me to get them?"

She shook her head and stood up,

"It's okay, I can get them,"

I pulled the keys out of my pocket, pointing them at the car and pressing the little button to unlock it. She gave me a quick kiss before she walked away. I felt my heart drop.

As she steps out onto the road, some dumb P-plater in an old van comes speeding around the corner. My mind barely has time to process what's happened.

I'm staring at (F/N), lying still on the road. My stomach turned. I jump from my seat and run over to her. I slide on the tar, my knees stinging, but I don't care right now. I grab her, lifting her head onto my lap. Her eyes are shut, her body bloody and scratched up. I place two fingers on her wrist - nothing. Then her neck - still nothing. I feel myself begin to unravel. I'm screaming, shaking her, tears falling from my cheeks to her lifeless body. I hear sirens in the distance, but I already know it's too late.

She's gone.

I didn't get into the ambulance with her. I wasn't going to sit in a hospital for hours just to be told my wife is dead. I know that. I drove home instead. I sit in silence, staring at the plain walls. Even though I knew it was going to happen, nothing could have prepared me for this. She was really gone. I kept replaying the scene over and over in my head. I felt tears roll down my cheeks. I take a deep breath and stand up, walking into my room - the room (F/N) wasn't supposed to see. I take a pistol from the masses of weapons.

"Soon my love, soon..."
