Colby's POV
Out of all people I thought I would cry over, never would I thought it would Cassidy.
But our rivalry had been dropped, and now I couldn't imagine life without her.
She was always the person to make me smile, even if I had lots on my mind.
I sat by her side on a late Thursday afternoon. It was about 9:46pm and everyone else had gone home.
I held her hand gently in mine as I watched her fragile body move up and down in a breathing motion.
I missed her smile. I missed seeing her beautiful eyes. I missed seeing her... in a life like manner.
It had been a couple of weeks since Cassidys parents decided to keep her life support on, and so far from what the doctors have said, she isn't getting better. She isn't even getting worse.
Her body has fully given up.
I looked at the time again. It was really late. I hadn't slept for days.
I leaned over Cassidys body and gave her a small kiss on the check. I held her hand in mine gently and I put my forehead on hers, hoping to God she would wake up.
I let go of her hand and leaned back in the chair I had set by the bed. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, but it was so difficult.
I was so tired, I found it hard to close my eyes.
I thought about Cassidy some more.
What would I do if she woke up? What would I do if she didn't...
How would I explain to Cassidy that she was stabbed and almost killed because I didn't do the one thing I promised...
Keep my phone near me.
I knew she didn't feel safe. That she was really jumpy. And I could tell something wasn't right.
But I put my phone down.
And now she might never wake up again.
Because of me.
Because of my mistakes
Because of my neglect
Cassideana Janet Mathews was dying... and it was my fault.
