"Come on Will... You know you want to." she teases.
"God I hate you" I complain.
"I know. That's why you'll follow me." she smirks.
"You've put a spell on me Shannon Taylor" I tell her as I walk towards her.
"Uh Uh Uh Will. Six feet apart at all times remember?"
"I remember," I sigh "Just wish it didn't exist."
"But it does."
"I know" I mumble.We sit in silence for about five minutes before Shannon gets up and starts to leave.
"Same time tomorrow Newman." she calls out to me.
"I'll see you then" I smile.I walk back to my room, right across from Shannon's. Even though our rooms are near each other we always leave at different times to help enforce the six feet apart rule.
As I reach my room, I open the door reluctantly and fling my body onto the bed. I don't bother with my treatments as I lay here thinking about the beautiful girl I was just with.
I hate this disease. I hate the fact that this disease keeps me away from the one person in the world that I think gets me. The girl I hated but grew to love. The one girl I want to hug and kiss and just hold. The one girl I want to feel safe. The one girl I want protect.
I lay there obsessing over this stupid disease until I get an idea. It's a risk but I'm willing to take it.
*the next day*
I make my towards the pool, hoping to get there before Shannon. As usual, that is impossible.
"Sup Newman."
"I've been thinking-"
"That's dangerous." she cuts me off.
"As I was saying, I've been thinking. And I have something to tell you... plus an idea." I say.
"Well get on with it then." she says impatiently.
"I used to hate you-"
"That's great" she scoffs.I ignore her and continue.
"I used to hate you but in the past month I have grown to like you a lot more than I thought I would. I like you a lot Shannon. In fact I'm fairly certain I'm in love with you." I announce.
Silence.
Still silence.
"I'm sorry if you don't feel the same-"
"I love you too Will." she cuts me off one again.
"Wow. Umm... Ok. So my idea, what if we break the rules?" I propose.
"What rules?"
"The six feet apart rule. What if we go outside and live for once? What if I kissed you? Held you? Hugged you?" I cut myself off before I begin to ramble.
"Will...", I flinch at her use of my first name.
"We don't have to... but oh my god the only thing I've been able to think about for the past week is the idea of kissing you." I confess.
"Will..." she repeats.
"I know, I know six feet apart. But screw that. I just want to-"I'm cut off by a pair of lips on mine. Not just any lips. Shannon's lips. As in supposed to stay six feet away from me Shannon. So many thoughts are rushing through my head that I'm unable to comprehend what is actually going on. We pull away way too early for my liking.
"Now for my proposition..." I sigh.
"What is it?"
"What if we went outside? Just for like an hour. Live a little for an hour." I beg.
"... Let's do it." she grins.We rush through the halls of the hospital, making our way towards the back door. We walk as fast as we can toward the lake behind the hospital. It's currently frozen... An idea comes to mind.
"How about we do some ice skating?" I ask.
"I've never been ice skating before..." she trails off, glancing down.
"Hey," I say as I lift her chin so she's looking directly at me, "I'll keep you safe."
"Okay. I trust you Will."Her hands begin to slightly shake as she gets colder. I wrap my arms around her and hold her for a few minutes before leading her onto the ice. We slide across the lake, Shannon grabs onto me tightly as she begins to slip. I hold her up and bring her lips to mine once more.
Everything is so peaceful. As our lips collide, the whole world begins to disappear. So much so that neither of us realise that the ice begins to break.
We pull away and Shannon steps backward, attempting to skate on her own. As soon as she places one foot onto the ice, it cracks. The are around her cracks. Before I can do anything...
She falls.
Everything from then on moves in slow motion.
Her arms flailing above her as she tumbles into the ice cold water. Her body going numb in seconds and letting herself sink. I desperately try and grasp at her arms, trying to pull her into my arms.
I finally manage to drag her to safety. Her beautiful face has turned pale and her lips turned blue. She doesn't respond and I find no pulse. I try CPR multiple times but it doesn't work.
I carry her in my feeble arms and rush towards the hospital, as fast as my lungs can take me. I race around the hospital screeching for help. Eventually a nurse finds me and rushes her into a room. A herd of doctors flock around her. I try to stay in the room but they won't let me.
The next five minutes is made up of anxious waiting and a wave of doctors running into her room.
Then suddenly everything goes quiet. No beeping. No doctors.
A nurse walks slowly out of her room. I stand up so quick, the wind is knocked out of me.
Silence.
"She didn't-"
I can't control my sobs as I collapse on the floor. She's gone. My beautiful Shannon. She just became mine and now she's gone. We had a chance to be together. She's gone. And it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so selfish, she could be alive. I'm the reason that the girl I love is now dead. What the fuck did I do?
*a month later*
I got moved to a different part of the hospital after... her death. I met someone else, but not that way.
I'm sat on the edge of the pool, my legs swinging in the water.
"Wanna take a foot back Newman?" a familiar voice asks.
I cringe at the use of my last name. I reminds me of... her.
"No." reply bluntly.
"Why?"
"Because I'm not LOSING ANOTHER PERSON THAT I CARE ABOUT." I yell.
"What do you mean?" she asks.
"I don't want to talk about it." I say as I begin to cry.I miss her so much.
I miss my Shannon.
