"I'll hold you till you sleep, baby girl. I promise."

You were walking down the street, ready to see your boyfriend after a long time away. Anxious happiness was all that you knew in that moment, the same emotions rushing through him as well. 

He couldn't wait to see you, excitement overwhelming him. Benny's face lit up when he saw you walk through the door, his smile as dazzling as the sun.

You were just as gorgeous to him. The way your eyes blazed with joy at the sight of him made his happiness grow.

Good things don't last long, do they?

A sudden thud filled the air as your countenance burst with shock. 

It didn't even hurt too bad, really. 

Benny watched in horror as you dropped to the ground as blood, fresh and crimson, leaked from the bullet wound in your stomach.

Gasping, you called out to him. The words were unintelligible, but he understood the fear and panic in your voice. 

He ran to you, and you clutched at his shirt in a frenzy.

"Shh, it'll be okay. You'll be fine! It's fine!"

You flinched in pain as it blossomed through your body, "Benny, please don't leave, please don't."

"No, no, I won't I'm here baby."

In a few seconds, your eyes started to close. "Benny, I think I'll sleep now..."

"No, please Y/n, don't..."

"Hold me," you whisper, your grip on his shirt loosening.

"Don't worry, Y/n." He moves you carefully into his lap, your head resting on his chest.

"I'll hold you till you sleep baby girl. I promise."

His sweet words were the last you heard before Death escorted you away from the world of the living.
