CLINT GROSSWEINER

          As soon as we arrived, we rushed to the hospital. I did anticipate to rush and find her. As I was in front of her room. I looked at the small window in middle, I saw her with an oxygen support, her legs were bandaged, and her parents crying inside. I opened the door, without noticing that I'm already in tears. Her mother looked at me and gave way for me. I slowly walked and stayed beside her, as I was holding her hand putting it in my face, now I can't control my tears anymore. I looked at her face. She's so pale. My girl is so pale. Uncle Zach, sat beside me and patted my shoulder. My parents and brother went home, I pleaded for them to just let me stay here with her, and they agreed. I will not leave by your side, I want to be the first person you'll ever see when you wake up. My girl. I love you so much.

         I did not realize it was already morning, I did not left her side. My eyes are swollen because of me crying, and I haven't slept. Her mother came in, she cooked something for me to eat, and she brought also a shirt and a jeans for me to wear. She asked me to stay with Dion as she's going to her daughter, to ask her condition now. I just nodded.

          I went outside for a second, I heard a strum of a guitar, I saw a man just near the room playing a guitar. I approached him, I asked for permission, if I could borrow it for a moment, and I'll return it after. "It's a very special gift from my deceased wife, you can have it if you want, I'm already old anyway, I have no one to give it" he said after i say I'm just going to borrow it. "Is it okay?" I asked again, it's so special for him though. "It's okay, you like the comatose girl right?, I saw you inside as I pass by. Go and take it, you'll need it for her" I accepted the guitar, and walked back to her room, before I open door, I looked back to see the man, but he just vanished, maybe he left as soon as I turned away.

          I went inside and sat beside her. I held the guitar and strum. "Baby, you never knew I know how to play the guitar right? I haven't showed you yet. I learned playing guitar for you, you love music so bad". I know and she might hear me so I'll say everything now. "Remember the promise? I brought you something from Spain. You should wake up, I have to give this to you". "Do you want to hear me play and sing? I know your now excited deep within, Okay so, I'll be singing this for you, I know you can here me baby"

~You are the reason~

There goes my heart beating
Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now

There goes my mind raising
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now

I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

There goes my hand shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now

If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour of every day
Keeping you safe

I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

          I finished the song and I opened my eyes, I looked at her, I was then surprised, she's awake. She's awake now. I pressed the red button to alert the hospital. You're awake now baby. "Baby, you're now awake" I said happily and caressed her face. Tears fell on her eyes. "Don't cry, don't worry I'm here. I'm by your side now baby". The nurses and doctor have not yet arrived at the moment. She looked at me, she's not yet stoping to cry. I'm getting worried. "Why, why, why, are you hurt somewhere? Don't worry the doctor is coming" I said while holding her hand. Then a few seconds, she talked. And I clearly heard what she said. "Clint, thank you for everything, I love you so much" My heart fluttered so much as what she said, but then I burst out into tears, as her eyes suddenly closed again, and the monitor is making a noise, the line is turning straight. I pressed again the red button, the doctor arrived with aunt Rian.

          "Aunt she woke up, but she suddenly closed her eyes again" I said while crying. The monitor, the lines have already straightened, Aunt now is crying loudly beside me. The doctor is reviving her, but the line is still the same. It's not turning back. I'm now very nervous and anxious, my girl. She said she loved me so much, what does she want to tell me with that. "Time of death 7:48 am. August 11, 2018." The doctor said.

          "No, no this can't be, Dion, my baby wake up, I'm now here!!!!" Now I'm crying so much, bursted more tears, my world fell apart. I ran beside her, cupping her face. Aunt on the other hand is holding Dion's hand and crying. Uncle Zach soon came, he fell to the floor, and punching the door while crying restlessly. "My baby daughter, my princess" he keeps on saying. While staring at her daughter, that's now will never ever wake up. "Dion, I love you, I love you too so much" I said while staring at her face. A minutes passed her mother and father are now side by side sitting on the sofa. I looked at them and asked for a permission. "Aunt, Uncle Can I kiss her?" As I say, my tears still flowing, Aunt bursted into tears, and replied "My son, yes you can".

          As I move closer to her. I stared at her beautiful pale face. Her body still warm. I leaned a little closer. I closed my eyes, and then slowly put my lips against her lips. There I left a gentle kiss. I stepped back for a moment, searched for my things, I looked for the necklace I was supposed to give her. I opened the box, raised the necklace, I looked again to her parents, and back at her, I let her wear the necklace. "This is for you baby, you wanted something when I get back, and this is for you, wear this always, until you go to heaven, I'll always be staring at the stars in the night, for I know, you'll be looking down on me, I love You" I said, and aunt heard what i aid as well. After I put the necklace to her. I leaned to kiss her again one last time.

          I called my parents after what happened. They can hear me crying loudly "mom, dad, she's gone, my girl is gone, the one I cherish is now gone" after saying that I cut the call and went back to aunt Rian and uncle Zach's side.
