Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: This is completely AU. Like I don't think I've ever done something quite like this before. I had a bit of trouble coming up with a couple but since this couple has become my favorite I though why not? And truthfully when I started writing this she was the only person that came to mind. Hope ya'll like it :)

Preface

A tired smile grazed her face as she closed her head leaning back on the very comfortable bed.

She never though she would be in this position. She never though she would be here. With him. Like this. Never like this.

His hand closed around hers smoothing her knuckles with his fingers.

"Don't be sad." she whispered through chapped lips.

He looked down at her with vibrant green eyes "I can't exactly help it." he bit out with a sad smile.

She bit her lip "I'm sorry." she whispered taking a deep breath and closing her eyes once again not being able to look into his eyes with out her own eyes tearing up.

And she knew he didn't like to see her cry.

"It's not your fault. Don't say sorry." he said a bit forcefully pulling her small body closer to his.

This time the tears began escaping from bellow her eyelids. Reaching up she began whipping them away furiously. Her small body began to shake in his arms as the small sobs bubbled out of her mouth.

Turning her body she curled her extremely small body next to his. Her thin arms wrapped around his torso as he hid his face in her shoulder.

She could feel the hot tears on her shoulder as they held each other.

"I'm so sorry." she kept repeating opening her eyes to meet his.

He didn't say anything. He simply leaned down catching her chapped lips with his own. Their salty tears mingling with their kiss as he deepened it carefully holding her in his arms. Like she was a fragile doll. And in some ways she was.

Pulling away she rested her head on his chest her eyes landing on the white blank walls. The machines in the room blinking obnoxiously at her.

A shudder ran through her body as she remembered exactly where she was.

Placing her head back on his chest she closed her eyes.

He looked down at her closed eyes. He automatically checked for her pulse just like he always did when she closed her eyes, even for just a second.

Realizing her pulse was normal he placed his head on her hair. The fake brown curls felt so realistic in his fingers as he ran a hand through her hair.

She looked so peaceful in her sleep and for a moment he wondered if that's how she would look in only a few hours.

Would she be in peace? Would the pain be gone?

Closing his eyes he wearily ran a hand over his face. Taking a deep breath he continued running his hand through her hair.

Trying to blink the sleep out of her eyes she looks around the room.

"Hi." she greets with a small smile.

They all look at her with sadden eyes and she remembers what the doctors had told them.

She tried smiling at them but the smile came out like a grimace. Every bone in her body hurt as she tried to move in her bed.

"Don't" he said softly as her breathing became more erratic.

Taking sharp quick breaths she tried nodding at him but the action instantly left her head throbbing. Pain was shooting up and down her body and she knew it was time.

With tearful eyes she looked around at her family. Her smile becoming teary as she looked at her younger sister who was the spitting image of herself. Her eyes then traveled towards her brother whom was dressed proudly in his green uniform. Looking down further down the line she extended her hand towards the small brunette woman who looked on with tears spilling down her cheeks. "Mom." she whispered holding her hand tightly. A larger hand soon covering both of their hands "Dad." she whispered again looking up at the brunette man who was trying to stay strong for his wife. "I love you." she told both causing them to begin crying. Knowing she was saying her goodbyes.

Looking towards her right she smiled at him. A small secret smile she always gave him. The smile that took his breath away. "I wrote letters. Give them to them." she said tilting her head towards the bedside table.

He nodded his head as his hands gripped hers tighter.

She smiled again. That smile. "Phil Brooks." she whispered with a tired smile.

"I love you." she told him "So much."

A constant beep filled the room.

A/N: This was extremely short but it's just the Preface. I think I teared up while reading this.
