Y/n set Hailee on the hospital bed. The nurses quickly came into the room.
"Please kill her" y/n demanded.
"Pardon?" one of the doctors said, as he was putting on his gloves. "She wanted to die, so do her a favor and kill her." she said. Taking a step back so she can give the doctors and nurses room to work on Hailee. She leaned up against the wall sliding down until she was sitting on the floor outside the room.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Y/ln this is the patients' belongings" The nurses shyly spoke, handing y/n Hailee's jacket, and phone. The young celeb gave her thanks, then turned the phone on. She smiled seeing the wallpaper of the celebrity herself in one of her photoshoot's photos. She opened her camera and began to take random selfies until she felt she was satisfied. Opening her camera roll, y/n looked through her photos Admiring all the picture she had.
One video stood out to her. The time stamp on it was recent, only being taken earlier that day. She pressed play, seeing Hailee use a wooden spook as a microphone. She had an apron around her. Y/n laughed at the thought of Hailee cooking. She loved the girl and would do anything for her but eat her cooking... y/n really loved her.
"It has been five hours since Y/n Y/Ln left. Aren't you worried? MMMM" Hailee said in thought, moving to another side almost pretending to be another character. "Not at all. She went to see her family. Aren't you a bit worried?" Hailee switched again. "What if she suddenly faints? What if she goes to the emergency room? MMM, I hope this doesn't happen, but if she collapses, someone will help her, right? And they'll call 911 for her. The whole world loves her. She is Y/n Y/Ln. I'm... the best at waiting. I did it a hundred times, even a thousand times. I know how long I will wait. The thing I'm the most scared of is That there will come a time when I won't have to wait for her any longer. Waking up one day... and she'll be gone..."
Y/n stopped the video once she saw the tears leaving Hailee's eyes. She dropped her hand, just staring off into space.
Y/n didn't know how Long she waited on the hospital floor. Snapping out when she felt the need to go to Hailee. The young girl was sleeping, peacefully. Y/n took off her coat, placing it over Hailee. Then removed her shoes and laid down right beside her. Y/n raised her arm, so Hailee could snuggle into her favorite place. Which she did, effortlessly.
"What did the doctor say" Hailee mumbled.
"That you're fine. It's just the climate change. The doctor is a bit busy right now. He said that he'll make sure to kill you next time." y/n smiled, placing a kiss onto Hailee's forehead. Then nose, and cheek, and finally her lips.
"Are you Hailee's guardian?" the nurse asked.
"I've been her guardian since I was 14." Y/n chuckled sitting up.
"She doesn't need hospitalization this time. Please do the paperwork for her respective discharge." the nurse said handing y/n the papers. Hailee just looked at y/n. She saw how shaky y/n's hands were. She then saw a water droplet fall onto the paper. Hailee quickly sat up as well and saw more droplets falling. Y/n couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face, looking blankly at the sheets in front of her before turning to Hailee. Reaching over, she caressed Hailee's cheek.
"Save me" y/n whispered. "I don't want to die. So, Save me. If I die what will happen to you... to my dad and mom... griffin. The things I wanted to do for you, the plans we made... how can I just leave like this? I want to live. I don't want to die; I want to live. The people I love are all here. But what now... We're finding happiness. How can I leave now. I don't want to leave. So, Save Me... I'm... I'm scared"
Hailee wrapped her arms around her. Pushing y/n down onto the bed hugging her tightly. "It's okay, baby. Everything is going to be okay, I promise" Hailee whimpered into y/n's neck. She pulled away just to get some air. "Get some rest my love, I'll be right back" Hailee removed the IV from her arm taking her phone from y/ns coat pocket. Y/n grabbed Hailee's arm, trying to stop her from leaving.
"What are you doing?"
"Calling someone. I know a doctor who can try to do surgery"
"Hailee, I--"
"you said you wanted me to save you... This is your last chance y/n. Before it's too late."
"If it means more days with you... then okay. I'll get treatment"
Hailee kissed y/n before walking outside to take the phone call and all y/n could do was lay down and think. Letting the tears to finally fall.
For a moment everything felt like it was both fast and slow motion. Getting out her clothes with the help of Hailee, and into a hospital gown. Then she laid down on the bed as the doctor began to explain the procedure. Y/n wasn't paying attention. She couldn't. Her brain blocked everything out, only taking in the image of Hailee who was listening to each word the doctor spoke. She saw the changes in Hailee's expression, getting more and more concerned until y/n finally snapped out of it after hearing the words 1% chance of making it out alive since the surgery was near impossible.
The doctor made y/n think long and hard about it. There was a reason why many doctors didn't want to go with surgery, but chemo instead. Y/n only laughed saying how she would die either way, so she was willing to take that 1%. When everything was all said and done, y/n signed the consent forms.
"Are you sure you want to do this" Hailee asked, holding y/n's hand.
"Maybe not about the hair cut... On second thought--" trying to get out of the bed. Hailee only rolled her eyes and pointed at y/n to get back into bed.
"y/n"
"What" y/n chuckled. "I don't look good with short hair. I like my long hair. I don't want to look like Skrillex."
"I don't know love I think you'll look good with Namaari's hairstyle from Raya and the last dragon." Hailee smiled, taking y/n's hair and putting it all towards one side only. Y/n sighed blowing the few loose strands out of her face.
"I'd rather be Raya" y/n pouted.
"Can you... can you tell me"
"Tell you what?" y/n asked.
"Tell me. That everything is going to be okay. That when you wake up the nightmare will finally be over."
"I love you Hailee. With all my heart. No matter what happens. Everything... everything will turn out right at the end."
"And if it doesn't... What happens next,"
"You take my money and go travel the world living a happy life. But if you meet someone else, I'll curse you. Coming back to haunt you." Y/n said seriously. Hailee smiled. She smiled for the first time that day, without the need to hide her emotions. She snuggled into y/n holding her as the older girl played with her hair while planting kissing on her head. Y/n's heart beat the bumped in Hailee's ear was music, a beautiful melody she could fall asleep too at any moment.
"Your surgery is in a few more hours. Can we, watch your tv shows together. I never watched them, and everyone says it's good" Hailee mumbled. Y/n just kept her head up, staring at the white ceiling.
"Which one" y/n laughed, "I have so many"
"The one you just finished. You are being a badass mafia heir. What does that show even about?"
"You're breaking my heart, babe. You know that show won an Emmy for best tv show."
"Yeah, yeah yeah, my tv show is better than everyone else. Let's watch it"
"okay" y/n softly kissed Hailee on her forehead. Hailee reached for her backpack taking out y/n laptop and sitting down on the bed table.
And that's what they did for the remainder of the time. Watch y/n's movies and shows. Laughing and talking about the many things that happened behind the scenes. Up until the doctor came the next night, ready to take y/n.
It was hard for Hailee to let go of her wife's hand. Even harder to stop kissing her and holding her. But when she finally did, y/n made sure to remind her that everything will be okay, kissed her hand one last time before being pulled away.
It had been 8 hours since y/n went into surgery. Hailee was in the room, trying to distract herself with whatever she could. Playing video games, listening to music, and of course watching y/n's movies.
One by one Hailee crossed them off her list. She was surprisingly almost done, and even started a few shows. Hailee was amazed how a young girl such as y/n could have done so many projects. It was like she was watching y/n grow up right before her eyes. She saw the drastic change in the girl every time she played a new movie, getting older and changing. Short hair, long hair. Having color hair to going darker. Her performance always got better and better, her eyes were brighter, her smile was bigger, but after watching a few recent movies. It was slowly starting to fade.
After her last movie was over, Hailee decided now would be a good time to finish her bucket list project. She pulled out her flash drive, plugging it into the computer. It only took a second for Hailee to realize it wasn't hers but y/n. She wanted to put it back, and not mess with whatever important things she had on there. But when she saw a video of y/n titled 'Song for my Lady' curiosity got the better of her.
She sat up and put her headphone back on. Then she clicked play.
The imagine of y/n getting comfortable on a piano stool, playing a few keys to warm up her hands. Hailee heard y/n clearing her throat before turning to the camera right beside her.
"Wow, I am a bit nervous" y/n laughed, drying her sweaty hands onto her pants. "I've toured around the world, preformed for millions of people. But sitting here, right now. I'm more nervous than all those times combined. Umm, a few months ago, my doctor told me... that I won't be able to live much longer. I was stunned, but all people die someday. I went to school and my very first assignment was a bucket list. I thought to myself how stupid the idea was. I traveled the world, acted in many films and had been doing stunts that were so much fun, so... dangerous. I had done everything everyone ever could think about crossing off their list. But the assignment made me... think. Perhaps knowing the limits of time... helps you reveal true feelings you've been hiding. And give me courage. it may be the last blessing given to me, as of yesterday December 11, I passed the three-month mark my doctor told me."
Hailee couldn't help but pause the video, running her hand through her hair. She looked up at the ceiling, the dim light barley illuminating the room. Sniffling her running nose away, she pressed play.
Y/n cleared her throat, turned to her piano.
"I wrote a song to my wife... This song I wanted to sing to her at our small wedding. But I couldn't do it. For the first time I couldn't sing a song. So, I'm going to be a coward. Hailee if you're watching this, I'm sorry I couldn't sing this song for you. But this song is for you, and only you. A song for my lady."
Y/n began to play the piano. A slow and calm melody, that Hailee couldn't help but sink further into the bed turning up the volume as she pulls the blanket, snuggling into it. She could still smell y/n's scent.
Then y/n started singing.
Oh, love of mine
Look what you've done
You've taken the pieces of me
You fixed them up Oh, love of mine
Look what we've become
Two wandering souls
That somehow turned into one
Y/n began to sing, her eyes, closed and the lyrics flowed out of her mouth so effortless. No thought.
'til death do us part
I'll be right where you are When we finally get to the end of our lives
I'll leave just before you, so I won't have to cry
Before your last breath
I'll go up ahead I'll be waiting for you, hold your place in the line
As we walk through the gates
Down the streets painted white
However long you live
I hope I exist one day less
Hailee took a shaky breath, tears escaping.
Your tenderness
Is all that I know
What would I do without you
To have and to hold? You're Heaven-sent
And I hope you know
That when you go back to the sky
I'll welcome you home
'til death do us part
I'll be right where you are When we finally get to the end of our lives
I'll leave just before you, so I won't have to cry
Before your last breath
I'll go up ahead I'll be waiting for you, hold your place in the line
As we walk through the gates, down the streets painted white
However long you live
I hope I exist one day less When we finally get to the end of our lives
I'll leave just before you, so I don't have to cry
However long you live
I hope I exist one day less
Y/n sung the last lyrics, still playing the piano, until coming to a gentle stop. Harshly Hailee rubbed her eyes, trying to stop the damn tears, wiping her sleeve on her eyes, and her palms, but nothing was helping.
"Hailee" the doctor said, slowly walking into the room. Hailee quickly sat up, pushing the laptop away from her.
"How's y/n is she okay"
"There were some complications"
