!!!IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE ABOUT DEATH AND/OR LOST A LOVED ONE TO A SITUATION LIKE THIS, HERE IS A TRIGGER WARNING NOW!!!




macaría woke up to an empty bed. confused and
tired she walked into the living room to get her phone.

there she saw adem. he was laying on the floor looking lifeless. screaming and yelling she tired to get him to wake up. when it wasn't working she did her best to give him CPR. at some point she could feel a faint pulse.

she called 911 and when they said it would take a while she nocked on the neighbors door to help get him into her truck so she could take him to the ER.

she ran in and told them she needs someone to her immediately. they brought the gurney and carried him inside but she couldn't go in the room with him.

she watched in horror as the greatest love she's ever had and the father of her child's heart stopped and started again.

Macaría called Adems mom with his phone.

angie: hello ?

Mac: Angie? it's Macaría, i need you come to the hospital

Angie: what ? why? what happened?

Macaría: it's about Adem, something happened at his apartment. his heart keeps stopping. i need you to come NOW

Angie rushes to the hospital but by the time she gets there it's to late. they let her in and she sees her first born's lifeless body laid out on a hospital bed with tubing in his mouth, cold, and blue.

macaría is sitting on the bed at his feet rubbing them. Angie holds her breath like she is waiting for her son to wake up. Macaría turns around drenched in tears, eyes puffy, and catching her breath. when she sees angie she stands up and holds her as Angie breaks down and cries. they stand holding each other crying for quite a while.

Angie calls over his father and sisters and they all say their final goodbyes. they for some reason let macaría be the last.

macaría: please, please, please, please, just come back to me. my moon and stars. please shine for me again. i cant loose you. WE can't loose you. please please just come back. if not for me or your family, for our child. please.

she hugs his lifeless body for some time and hold his hand. cherishing these final moments with him in her hands. she kisses his forehead for every kiss she didn't give him during that month. she says i love you for every time she didn't say i love you during that month.

macaría: *whispers* i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you...

she even sings for him one last time. she sings their favorite song. "if i stay, from Obie Blu"

macaría: ive made it so clear, need you more then i ever did. if i stay here, will you show me love again? i don't care much what they tell me, what do they even know, you're the one i looking for, even when i'm feeling low.

she kisses him on the forehead and nose like she would all the time and says i love you one more time.

she leaves the hospital and goes in her truck. as she's about to cry again Angie knocks on her window

Angie: macaría, adem told me that you are pregnant last night. i want you to know that i will always be there for you and the baby.

macaría nods and chokes back tears.

Macaría: thank you Angie but really, i just want to be hear for you and your family. you don't need to worry about me right now.

Angie: i'm definitely going to worry macaría, you're carrying my first born's child. you're carrying your first baby. you're carrying the first grandchild on both sides. so yes i'm going to worry. i knew this day would come where i would have to say goodbye to my son. even if i didn't want it to be soon, we just have to accept that he's gone.

Macaría: Adem was right. you really are the sweetest person alive.

Angie: he said the same about you, and all the times we've met, i noticed how much he was right. there really was no one better then you for Adem. i'm so glad he had you.

Macaría smiles and wipes her tears. she hops out of the truck and gives Angie one last big hug.

Macaría: do you want his apartment key ?

Angie: yeah we are going to go there now and sort through his stuff. you're welcome to come and pick whatever you want of his.

Macaría: thank you so much. but i think right now i'm going to just go home and be alone for a while. i have a spare key so if you guys aren't there when i go i'll just unlock the door.

Angie: okay sweetheart, let me give you my number if you need anything. and really, i mean anything.

Angie gives her number to macaría. they hug once more and macaría drives home.
