Never Let me Go(Robert Downey jr Fanfiction)

Flying Free

Liza was hospitalize once again. Her liver had finally broke down. I'm so stressed over this entire situation. Watching my girl get weaker over these few years. I can tell she's fighting. Doctor Ross knew this day would come. My daughter wanted to leave from school to be with her mother. I refused to let her miss school. If things change then I would consider it. Her school is very understanding but, I don't want to take advantage of it. School is important to me.

I had just dropped Lindsay off at school. I immediately headed off to the hospital to see Liza. I walked into her room and was then pushed back by the nurse. I can see the doctor working on her. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. I waited outside the door in tears. Please, don't take her now. Doctor Ross comes out with the other nurses. I stood up anxiously waiting for him to say something. He didn't appear too happy. "Tell me she's okay." I asked breaking the silence. He let out a sigh running his fingers through his hair.

"Mr. Downey, I'm sorry. She doesn't have much time left. Her liver continues to give out and there is nothing else we can do." replied Doctor Ross. "How long?" I was trying hard to stay strong. It's only a matter of time before my emotions get the best of me. "Three hours." Tears fell from my eyes as I sunk down to the floor. My beautiful Liza is leaving us. I couldn't stop crying. I'm afraid of how Lindsay and my entire family will deal with this. I pulled out my phone calling everyone.

I picked Lindsay up early from school. She sat there asking me millions of questions. I sat there in a daze maintaining my composure. "Dad!" she shouted. I jumped turning to face her. "Are you even listening to me?! What is happening with mom?!" I parked the car in front of the hospital. I turned my body to face her. I looked down to angelic worried eyes. I hated breaking her heart by telling her the news. "Sweetie, I need to tell you something very important. There is about to be a big change in our lives. I hope that you can stay strong." I replied. My voice is shaky from fighting back tears. "Mommy is leaving? Isn't she?" My eyes widen to her response. How did she know? "I'm afraid so. I'm sorry honey."

Lindsay's eyes teared up as she climbed over to hug me. I held her close to me as we wept in the car. My heart broke in half to her crying. "I want you to remember something. Even though your mom isn't going to be around anymore. Know that she is watching over you and in your heart forever." I added smiling at her. "I know daddy. I'm just going to miss her." she cried hugging me once more. Once we collected ourselves we headed into the hospital. Liza's parents were already there along with mine. The emotions ran so high none of us could control them.

Liza ask to speak with everyone individually. Her parents came out in tears. Her mom said she wanted to talk with Lindsay by herself. Time is running short and I wanted it to just slow the hell down. I'm not ready to let her go. Lindsay soon comes out running into my arms. "She wants to see you. Give her another kiss for me please." she wept. I placed a kiss on her cheek and walked over to the door. I closed the door behind me slowly walking toward her bed. I felt like my heart was going to explode. I hate saying goodbye to the woman I love. We've barely begun our lives. Why must it be this way?

I sat down taking Liza's hand into mine. She squeezed my hand smiling weakly at me. "Hi baby." she said sweetly to me. "How are you feeling?" I asked. "Ready for this pain to go away." I started balling like a baby holding her hand against my chest. "Robbie, please don't cry. I'm going to be fine. No more suffering through this pain." "I can't let you go. I've wait nearly 20 years to finally be with you. I hate myself for waiting so long." "Robert, our time together was short. Yet, those memories we shared will live on in our hearts. Isn't that what you told Lindsay?" "Yes, it's just hard to let go." "I understand. Just know this, I love you with all my heart. I can never thank you enough for the wonderful years we got to spend with each other. I will wait for you on the other side. Watching you from above as you and our daughter continue down here."

I leaned over placing a soft kiss on her lips. "I love you, Liza. I will always love you." I whispered. She whinced a little and relaxed her body. She smiles up at me one last time before closing her eyes. "Can you hold me in your arms?" she asked. I moved her over slightly before laying down next to her. I wrapped my arms her as she cuddled up next to me. I hummed our favorite song to her as we laid there in silence. I closed my eyes playing back our childhood and into our teen years, The laughter, tears, and joy we shared growing up. I flash backed to the day I was going to propose to her.

Liza was standing near the cabana as the salty sea air blew in the breeze. Her long curly brown tendrils flowed with the wind. She had on a white silk dress with white sandals. Her glowing green eyes burned into mine. Every time I gazed into those beautiful orbs time stops. Not single noise to be heard. It was if we were the only two people on the planet. I held out my hands to her. LIza's warm skin touched mine sending an electric wave throughout my body. I knew deep inside my heart she was my one and only.

Her love could never compare to anyone else. I drop down to one knee pulling out the diamond ring. I presented it to her with love in my eyes. She smiled down at me with such happiness. One lone tear escape her eye as I place the ring on her finger. "Liza Mitchells, I love you more than word can say. You make me the happiest man on earth. I would be nothing without you in my life. I want to wake up to your smiling face. I want to hold your hand through the good and the bad. If you desire those things I just said. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" I proposed in tears. She helped me up off my knee cupping her hand on my cheek. "I would like nothing more than to become your wife. My friends, lover, and wonderful husband. Forever." she replied crashing her lips to mine.

I smiled to myself as I wake up from my trance. I stared down to see Liza not moving. I lift her chin up to face me. "Liza." I called. No reply. No longer a breath escaped those lungs. She's gone. I started sobbing out of control. I held her body close to mine as I wept. "I love you, Liza! I will never forget you." I sobbed. I kissed the top of her head. "Goodbye, my angel." Everyone comes in to check on me. The room was soon filled with crying faces. Lindsay held onto her grandmother. Liza's mother. Doctor Ross steps in with sadness in his eyes. He checked the monitor and turned his attention to the nurse behind him. "Time of death August 17th, 2001. 12:15pm." he whispered.
