His Death Destroyed Me, His Love Saved Me

Come on baby, I just want our night to last a little longer he said. I hesitated and then said okay we can go now I told him. I had a bad feeling about it, but I went anyway. The park is always beautiful at night. It’s peaceful because there are not many people in the park this time of night. You might see a couple or two, a few joggers, and that’s all. When we got there, I didn’t see anyone. We started across the park we saw a guy standing at the water. My heart speeded up. It turned out to be one of the men from the firehouse. He and Ethan had a short conversation, and then we walked on. Just as we got to the gazebo, a gunshot rung out. Ethan pulled me down to the ground. His friend ran up to us, are you all right he asked? Yes, I said he helped me up, but Ethan didn’t get up or say anything. Ethan, Ethan, we turned him over and there he lies in a puddle of blood. I screamed, his friend called for help, I just held him crying, praying to God, please help him. Help arrived fast they had to pull me away from him. Is there someone I can call for you his captain asked me? My mom, and Ethan’s parents I said through my tears. I’ll take you to the hospital the captain told me. When we arrived at the hospital, mom and the Worthy’s were already there. I was glad they were there. I was crying so hard I couldn’t tell them what had happened. The doctor came out he asked, who is his wife? Me I exclaimed! He wants to see you the doctor told me. Thank God, I replied. I went into the room and took his hand. Where is my heart he asked? I had to think, oh its right her, touching the heart around my neck I said. Are you okay Ebony Ethan asked? Yes, how are you I asked? I’ll be all right Ethan said. I wanted to see you and tell you I love you very much he said. I know you do I replied. I love you too Ethan I said. He started to cry, Ebony I’m always with you. You have made me happier than I ever dreamed I could be he said. Baby, why are you saying this I asked? Ebony, I must go now, I will always be with you he said. A machine went off as his eyes closed! The doctor ran in, and the nurse took me out. Mom asked, what happen? I couldn’t say anything. The doctor came out and said, I’m so sorry. How does it feel to be home Ethan I asked? I feel great Ebony, and I thought I would never see this place again he said teary-eyed. I know Ethan, but you are here with me now. Now you need to lie down and rest I replied. I just want you close to me I couldn’t stand the thought of leaving you alone without me Ethan said. You mean everything to me, Ebony, I want to grow old with you he explained. I love you to Ethan and growing old with you sounds great I replied smiling. Now let me get your lunch, you must eat to get stronger I reminded him. It’s been two weeks since you came out of the hospital and you are doing great. How do you feel Ethan I asked? I feel good, I just have a little pain on the left side of my chest, but other than I’m good baby Ethan assured me. You must go in for your checkup tomorrow and we will tell the doctor about it I told him. I must run to the store, I’ll be right back. You can go with me Ethan if you want I told him. No Ebony I’m going to lie down you go ahead he said. Get some rest I’ll be back before you can miss me. I love you, Ethan, I said. I love you too Ebony bye he said.
