Epilogue

~Joey's POV~

It has been exactly a month since Shane died. The pain is still intense. I didn't end up going to Vegas. Instead I went to the hospital that afternoon. And by the following morning, I had a nice new set of lungs.

Shane's lungs.

I'd always been told that the only way to get new lungs was if someone rose died. I hadn't ever once thought my lungs could come from someone I loved as deeply as him.

I was happy I could independently breathe now. No oxygen tank, no nothing. I can breathe and it doesn't hurt anymore. I guess, he did me a favour. But we were supposed to get married and live together. Not separately.

I miss him so much. My love was gone. And I didn't even get to say goodbye to him. Not properly. He was only supposed to go to his mothers and then come home. It wasn't that hard. And he died. Hopefully he was happy when he did.

"Graceffa" the nurse said. I stood from my seat and headed into the doctors office. It was nice really. I looked normal again. My hair had started to grow again, and I always wore a beanie over the top to prevent people staring.

"So, how have been?" The doctor said when I walked in. I didn't say anything. They all knew I had my fiances lungs. It was on the news. "So, we checked your scan results, and you're all clear" he smiled.

"You mean, the cancers gone?" I asked, a little shocked.

"Yes. You're all clear"

And that was that. No longer dying. Shane saved my life. And he'll never realise that. I'll never be able to say thank you properly and I'll always have to live without my love with me to enjoy being alive.

But that's okay. Because a little bit of Shane will always be with me. Nothing can come between us ever. Till death do us part.
