It was September 18, Bailey had left to go to work like usual. I never thought that when I had kissed her goodbye and held her close in my arms on the couch before she left that it would be last time I saw her. The last time I saw perfect smile, her sparkling green eyes, her long flowing brown hair.

I thought it was going to be another normal morning, I would go to band practice while Bailey went to work and I would come home and wait and wait those dreadful hours without her until she came home and we would stay up late watching movies and eat crap and talk about life eventually having her fall asleep in my arms.

I was with my band when I got the call. The call that changed my whole life. There was a womans voice on the phone calling to let me know that Bailey had gotten into an accident on her way to work and was injured sevearely. My heart had sunk down to the pit of my stomach when I heard those words. I didnt know what to do or say, all I knew was that i had to see her. i needed to see her. i eventually started sprinting through hospital not sure what to expect or if they were even going to let me see her.

"Are you ashton sir?" The lady at the desk asked me. It took me a minute to catch my breath so I just nodded my head. I was expecting them ask me to prove it but thankfully no more questions were asked. The lady at the desk let me in and I decided not to run so I wasnt out of breath when I got to her room.

And then, there she was her eyes were closed and she had tubes and wires coming off of her in many places. Her mom noticed me looking through the window to the room and ran over to me pulling me into a hug, I definitley wasnt expecting that. Ever since me and Bailey started going out, 2 years ago, she never approved of me. she basically wanted nothing to do with me because I was in a band. She held me close for the longest time, and she cried into my chest after her doing that for a while I went in, her parents and two best friends Kayla and Margret were there all of there eyes bloodshot tears staining there cheeks. Everyone had moved away from the bed a little so I could sit down next to her. I held her hand in my own. Holding her lifeless hand and seeing the breathing tube on her was the worst feeling. All I wanted was to here her voice and see her eyes one more time. It was quiet and I wasnt sure if I should say something or sit there like I was still holding her hand laying my head on her stomach.

I pretended to clear my throat and started to talk to her not even knowing if she could here me. "Hey there Bailey, you hangin in there? your gonna be okay i'm here and theres no way that i'm gonna leave you you understand? I'm gonna be here your safe with me your gonna be okay just do one favor for me, please keep breathing for me babe. You cant quite on me now, you need to reach deep down and use as much strength as you can. You need to be here, with me, you need to live your life. Please dont leave me. What do I have without you? Nothing."

I stopped talking for a moment waiting to see if maybe she would answer. But there was nothing, no nod, or smile, nothing.

Kayla and Margret ended up leaving and her parents got a hotel room just across the street from the hospital. But me, i stayed holding her hand rubbing her cheek with my thumb until about one in the morning. I fell asleep on the couch next to her bed.

Until the next morning.
