"Skyler is dead. I'm sorry for your loss," he said.

Well, I completely lost it. I wanted to punch the doctor and tell him he was wrong, but that's against the law, and the last thing I need right now is to be in jail. Instead, I ran to Liam, and he comforted me. He let me cry, and I knew he cared. 

The person I was most worried about other than me was Zayn. I could tell he really liked Skyler, and this must of been really tough on him to.

"You can keep her here for one more day, and then you need to take her to a funeral home or something like that," said the doctor. I could tell this wasn't the first time he said this.

I went to Skyler's room. I said, "Skyler, don't die!! You can't die!! We were best friends before we could walk!!! I need you!!!" It had no effect. Her pale, lifeless, cold body didn't move or show any sign of life. I needed to stay, but everyone was urging me to go. I ran to Liam's comforting shoulder, and cried.

<><>Skyler POV<><>

I wasn't dead. How could I have been thinking if I was dead? Am I in heaven? No, I wouldn't be in a medical room if this was heaven. If the doctors couldn't save me, I was gonna save myself.

<><>Zayn POV<><>

I needed a minute alone with Skyler. I loved her. I deserved a minute alone with her. 

I found myself screaming at the world, but I finally talked to Skyler. Actually, I sang to her.

Shut the door
Turn the light off
I wanna be with you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this
Even though I try

Heart beats harder
Time escapes me
Trembling hands
Touch skin
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face

If we could only have this life
For one more day
If we could only turn back time

You know I’ll be
Your life
Your voice
Your reason to be
My love
My heart
Is breathing for this
Moment
In time
I’ll find the words to say
Before you leave me today


Flashes left in my mind
Going back to the time


Playing games in the street
Kicking balls with my feet

Dancing on with my toes
Standing close to the edge

There’s a part of my clothes
At the end of your bed

As I feel myself fall
Make a joke of it all

You know I’ll be
Your life
Your voice
Your reason to be
My love
My heart
Is breathing for this
Moment
In time
I’ll find the words to say
Before you leave me today

I got up, and was ready to walk out. I saw her beautiful face, and kissed her one last time. I could have sworn she kissed back.
