21. S L E E P

Paige wasn't just any girl, she was my girl. And I planned on keeping her happy for the rest of our lives.

Knowing she was not just any ordinary woman, the ring was littered with black rhinestones mixed with silver stones and right in the middle was a large sapphire stone.

It reminded me of her midnight blue hair and I knew this was the ring.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and I quickly tucked the ring away back into my pillowcase.

"Hey babe, come back downstairs. We're going to go out to grab a bite."

I nodded and she sighed, laying down on top of me and resting her head on my chest.

"I swear I can never get a moment to breathe."

I frowned, smoothing away the worry lines etched onto her forehead.

"Why do you say that?"

"I never get to be alone with you for at least five minutes. That's all I want, is you."

Her English accent made my heart flutter and I combed through her hair with my fingers.

"Darling, I'm all yours. You already have me."

"I don't think that's quite registered into my brain yet. We were hating eachother's guts not even six months ago and now we're in love."

I smiled remembering the first night she spent with me and she comforted me and gave me a shoulder to cry on.

Something precious little Jonathan Good, never got to experience.

"We better get going, your Mum is waiting for us."

She groaned before kissing me, her lip ring sliding against my lip.

"Babe, I know it's hard to control yourself but we really have to go. I know, I'm irresistible."

I smirked as she rolled her eyes. We walked down the steps as Saraya was standing at the door.

I insisted on Paige and Saraya riding together since they were mother and daughter and hadn't seen one another in a long time.

They both refused but eventually, they agreed.

They took Saraya's rental car while I drove Paige and I's car.

It was a beautiful day today, the sun was out and the birds chirping made it even better. Winter was practically almost over but here in Florida, you'd never notice.

I hummed along to Asking Alexandria as I followed Paige and her Mum to the restaurant.

The light turned green as Saraya and Paige made it through, but what I didn't see was a manufacturing truck come barreling through the red light towards me from the driver's side.

It made immediate contact as my head hit the steering wheel, causing the car to flip over.

Everything was a blur as I cut my hand on shards of glass from the window.

I felt my neck make a sickening cracking noise and my airbag popped up.

I shouted profanities as the pain became too much to bear. I knew my ribs were broken as when the truck ran into my door, it dented, going straight into my torso.

My eyes began to shut as steam surrounded me.

My body was shutting down.

I was scared for my life. Scared I'd never get to see the love of my life again. Scared I'd never see our children grow up.

My life flashed before my eyes and before I knew it, the darkness was becoming overwhelming.

I couldn't stop it. It overtook every inch of my body. Every ounce of oxygen I had left my lungs.

My eyes were burning, begging me to allow unconsciousness to take over.

I finally weakened as I allowed my eyes to shut and I drifted off into a state of sleep.

A never ending SLEEP.
