Jimmy held his girlfriend’s hand, well, dying girlfriend’s hand. It was late at night. That morning, no one expected it, as this was rare. But rare things can happen at any time. That is what most people-and even I-forget.
Aurora slowly opened her eyes and looked at the world (a.k.a hospice) around her with blurry vision. The terrifying thing was that only she could see the scenery like that, and she knew it. Suddenly, she felt water make a landing on her face. It felt good after what she’d been through. She looked up, and there she saw Jimmy weeping silently while staring at the flickering light above them. Another tear rolled down his face and onto her. “That feels good” She exclaimed while smiling. James loved it when she did that. “Sweetheart, you’re awake!” He said as he leaned in to implant a kiss on her lips but stopped. Would it hurt her? He wondered in that curious mind of his. After all, her face had been terribly burned. Not to mention, just about her whole body too. That is when Jimmy covered his eyes with his elbow and began to wail. She took her other charred and dried hand and rested it upon his watery face. “Don’t cry love. Remember? You said it made people look unattractive” She sang in a witty tone. He laughed but then it faded into serious silence. “I can’t help it. I love you too much and I don’t want to lose you!” He said, now practically yelling. Her eyes were then filled with water. “They’ll always-be-other-girl” She said in between sobbing. He joined in. “I don’t want them Skye. I want you!” He dove in and engulfed her into a big bear hug. “I can’t lose you. I just can’t!” But both of them knew that her organs were shutting down from the burns. The doctors could not find any donors soon enough to save her.
After about fifteen minutes, Aurora was slowly losing consciousness. She could feel herself drifting in and out of it. Jimmy was aware of it. “Aurora, please. Please try to stay awake” He said as he cupped her face in his trembling hands. “Please babe, please!” He yelled in frustration. “I-I don’t think I can stay alive much longer” She was slipping away. “I want you to know that as soon as I met you three years ago, I immediately fell in love with you. I fell in love with that beautiful and funny girl. You’re still beautiful Aurora, I swear. You’re always beautiful. Okay? You’re always-” He was cut off by his sobbing. “Don’t cry James. Please-” She drifted off a little more but then awoke
She loved his voice, but he hardly sang to her. This was the perfect time to sing to her the song she loved the most. The song she’d always ask him to sing, but he refused. Here goes nothing. In between his crying, he sang “I want to make you smile, whenever you’re said” Tear falls. “Carry you around when your arthritis is bad” Bowed his head while tears slipped down his face. “Oh, all I want to do, is grow old with you” He started gasping while crying. “I’ll get your medicine, when your tummy aches” He couldn’t sing the next line “Build you a fire if the furnace breaks” so he skipped it. “Oh, it could be so nice, growing old with you. I’ll miss you, kiss you. Give you my coat when you are cold” His voice was getting clogged by the water in his throat. “Need you, feed you. Even let you hold the remote control” She smiled a little and so did he. “So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink. Put you to pet when you’ve had too much to drink. Oh I could be the man, who grows old with you” They finished the ending together. “I want to grow old with you” They both sat there and silently cried, but Aurora could feel her self slipping away from this life. Jimmy noticed it. He felt her pulse slowing down. This frightened him. “No-no-no-no-no-no! Aurora! Aurora!” He stood up and looked down on her. “Please, please stay!” He tried to say through tears. He felt her wrist again. It got slower. “Baby, listen to me. Don’t go. You can’t leave me!” By now the security ran in. He was being too loud. “Calm down son!” One of the guards said as he took a hold of Jimmy. “Aurora!”
