(Diane's POV)

I slowly open my eyes and sit up. Where am I? I look around and smile when I see him...His naked body under the covers. I looked down at me and saw that was too was naked. Then everything came back to me, the passionate night I shared with him...It was all so beautiful. I had to leave before Erik realizes that I left. I slowly get up without waking him. I'm probably never going to see him again....But I will always remember that beautiful night I had with him. I creeped out of his hotel room and almost scurried back to mine. I just hope to good that

Erik isn't awake. I take out my key card and open the door. I smile when I see him still sleeping. I slowly walk in and smile, sitting on the bed. He slowly looks up and smiles.

"Hey beautiful...I hope you remembered last night." He smirks as he pulls me to him.

I pull away as I saw what he was intending to do. I sit up and back away. I didn't want his stupid hands on me...I want to be with him.

"Come. Today's the final session and we're meeting Dr. Macdogall there. dress nice." I say, standing up and going to my dresser.

I looked down at my baby bump and almost started crying. This babies gonna grow up without his or her true father. I'm eighteen and I'm gonna have The Phantom Of The Opera's baby...I don't wanna think about this at the moment. I just want to get today done and then divorce him for food. I pull on green flats and a green lace dress that showed a little bit of my growing belly. Hopefully he wouldn't notice. I turn to him and I few the slightest smile as I see that he was ready.

"Let's go. She's waiting for us at the market." I quickly put my hair up in a ponytail.

I began to walk to the door until I felt his hand in mine. I tried to pull it away but he squeezed it right as I continued to walk. We need to put our brave faces on as we finish today's session and graduate tomorrow. We went outside and got into our taxi. This will probably be the only time I'll enjoy myself on this trip.

(At The Market.)

"Let's go." I whispered as the taxi came to a stop and we step out.

I looked around and smiled as I saw the busy streets of New York young and people shopping in the markets. In front of us was Dr.Macdogall. She looked happy to see us holding hands...I shake his hand away from mine and stand up straight.

"Hello Erik and Diane. I'm glad to say that this is the last session before you graduate tomorrow. I'm so happy to have helped you in your relationship. Today I want you both to go on a date at this market." She smiles and points to the market full of people.

I'm excited. The market's a great place to buy dresses and many other tourist things. I haven't been to one in years and I'm really excited to buy new things and take them home to let all of Rome. I pull Erik's arm as she allows us to go. I kinda hope he enjoys it too. It's gonna be our last fun memory together.

(Erik's POV)

Today's our last day as a married couple. Diane has her papers filled out already. I have yet to fill them out, but when I do...We'll have to hand them into the court house...Then we'll be just people in each other's lives that don't matter anymore. I want to enjoy this moment with my-.... With Diane and hopefully cherish spending these last few hours happy. I let her lead the way into a mask shop.

"I wanna check out some cool masquerade masks...You can look at some for your face..." She says as she goes to the other side of the store.

I sigh and look around the shop, looking at all the different masks. I saw some black and blue masks that would fit my face perfectly...But they just seem depressing...I think I'll need them for the next few years, trying to get over her. I pull them off the shelf and buy them. I wait by the side for her as she finishes buying three pick masquerade masks.

"I hope you enjoyed that shop. It really seemed you bought a lot." She shrugs to my bags of dark masks I bought.

"Yeah...I thought they looked really nice. On to the next shop?" I sigh and I don't meet her eye to eye...She probably doesn't even see my eyes as compelling anymore.

She nods and we walk around, buying several souvenirs. I find New York quite interesting, it's a very modern city which I believe had many amazing quality's. They have something called Broadway which has many shows...Maybe I'll check it out later today? Take Diane and try to change her mind?

"Come." She says as she pulls me into a dress shop. "Let's look at some clothes...I need some more." I saw her looking down at her stomach...She's kinda weird. She pulled me into a cute little store full of dresses and a few tuxedos. It looks like a very cute store which I find interest in.

I picked out some suits and pants that I would need and a hat called a beanie...Such a weird name for a hat made out of wool. Diane came up to me and slightly smiled as she give me a big pile of elegant dresses.

"You have all our money..." She looked away slowly. "I was wondering if you could negotiate with the clerk and try to get a better deal for those dressed...And buy them for me?...Please?" I smile and nod, she was cute when she begged...I really don't want to sign those papers, I wanna stay together forever.

I looked at every single dress and smiled. All laced and elegant and she picked our literally almost every colour of the rainbow. This woman's a very creative person...And now I have to let her go. I don't even think I have the power to do that. I mean...I did it with Christine...But can I do it with Diane. Let her out of my grasp and never see her again. I stop thinking horrible thoughts and went up to the clerk. He looked angry...Pissed off, like he was gonna attack me. I have to act nice and hopefully get a discount on these dresses that cost $1,000 dollars each.

"Hello sir." I put the dresses on the counter and smile at the man. "I will take these dresses and this 'beanie' please." He looks at my mask and then back at the clothes as he prices them out. I become shocked when I see the total. "Your total will be $10,345 dollars sir. I hope you enjoyed our service." He tries to hand me the bag.

I shake my hand and pass him back the bag. $10,345 dollars! That's as much as I spent on our wedding...I cannot believe this. I begin to frown as I managed to give him back the bag. I could towel he was getting angered too...There better not be a fist fight, I'm really not in the mood at the moment.

"My wife told me that I would be able to get some kind of deal for each dress? Like fifty percent off? Cause $10,345 dollars for dresses is a lot of money." I stare at him as he unpacks the dresses. I look at his every movement as he checks way and every dress slowly.

What is he looking at? He finally looks up at me, shaking his head. "These are all designer made products and we have to sell them at full price to make a profit. $10,345 dollars please." He waved his hand out to me and I frowned.

I should not be messed with right now...I'm going through a nasty divorce and I'm never going to see my Diane again. I growl and look at him and went behind the counter, pulling him to the front of the desk. I could see him as angry as I was. I grab the bags of dresses and pulled out a $100 dollar bill and placed on his hand.

"$100 dollars." I growl and glare at him. "That how much I'm gonna spend on those dresses. Nothing is going to change my mind. Take it and shut up." I finish talking and smirk. He'll probably take it and be scared of me.
But instead I saw him reach in his pocket and pull out a gun.

I began to panic...What's gonna happen? "I am so tired of old French people telling me what to do! "Give me this dress! Tell me if this dress makes my butt look big! Give my the full price!" He yelled and I begin to cower. Diane was probably checking out another store, so she was no where to be found.

I shake my head and stand up straight, trying not to act nervous at all. He won't shot me, I know he won't. He seems like a smart kid who wouldn't want to go to jail. I back up and pick up the bag. He began screaming random things as I backed up towards the exit of the store. I heard a gun shot and groan loudly as I felt a bullet hit me in my stomach and chest. He shot me! I glare at him and fall to the ground, dropping all the dresses. I'm gonna die.

(Diane's POV)

I came back with my other bags from other shops. I wonder why it takes Erik so long to get discounts and buy
dresses? I decide to go back and check to see what the hold up is. I hear a gun shot and sigh sadly. I hope that person or thing is okay. I went intothe shop and looked around. I couldn't see Erik anywhere. I looked at the ground and saw blood...Someone got shot. I followed the trail that let to the corner door of the store. There I found my injured husband. I scream and get down.

"Erik?!" I begin to cry as I grabbed his hand, squeezing it. "It's going to be okay...I'm gonna get you an ambulance and you'll be okay." I didn't hear a response. I began to sob and I hugged him. I then saw holes in his chest and stomach...I have to save my husband. I covered the two wounds with my hands.

I felt the bleeding stop and he began to breath again. He opened his eyes and began to shake. "D-Diane...L-Let m-me d-die...I-I've h-hurt y-you s-so m-much." I shake my head and kissed him, I love him...I really do. I can't lose him, I can't be without him...He's my soul mate. I turn my head around and growl. "Call 911! My husbands dying cause of you!" I half yelled and sobbed. I focused my attention back on him and stroke his face.

"It's okay." I sigh. "The man's calling the ambulance now and they're gonna fix you up...Okay? Don't die one me...We're meant to be." I watched his face turn a pale colour as he struggled to keep his eyes open. "M-Marry s-someone y-you l-love...T-Take t-the h-house i-in R-Rome a-and b-be w-with s-someone e-else...P-Please." I looked at him sadly and nod my head. "If that happens...Then I would take the house in Rome, but it's not gonna happen and your gonna live...I promise you that."

I hug him tight as I put my head on his heart. I heard the breathing slow down...I'm going to lose him just like I lost William and my real parents...I'm not going to be able to love him...He's never going to be able to know this baby. I have to tell him that I at least love him...Cause I do...He's my world.
I keep my hands on his wounds and began to hum Music Of The Night to him. If he was going to die here...I want him to hear his favourite song. He was still able to have his eyes open as I heard approaching sirens. I have to tell him how I feel.

"Erik...I love you, I really do. Know that okay?" I kissed his head as he nods weakly. I saw him close his eyes and I begin to scream. I remove my hand from his stomach and quickly feel his pluse...I could still feel it...I just need to keep his wounds pressured under my hands. I press them and I look down at him...My dying angel. I hope he was listening to me...I hope he would listen now. "I'm pregnant..." I smile as I put his hand on my stomach. "Our miracle baby." I didn't get a reaction...It's okay...He'll live to see the baby...I know he will.

I felt someone pull me up and practically throw me across the room. I sigh in relief as I see it's peremedics. One of them came up to me, shocked as he see's how much blood I have one me. I slowly get up and watch over them as they cover Erik's wounds and pick him up on a stretcher. The chief pulled me aside.

"We're gonna take your husband to the best hospital in town and we're gonna try and fix him up. Then we're gonna get to the bottom of who shot him." I had to hug the man in thanks and my touched my growing stomach...I want him in this babies life...I have to have him here to help me raise it.

I love him and our love can't die yet. "Please save him...I'm having our first baby and I can't do this alone...I need the father to be here for it." He nodded as I heard the yell that everything was ready to go. I run to the ambulance, but they stop me. There wasn't enough room on the ambulance for me and I would have to take the taxi there.

I got the address and they drove off...Leaving me to worry about his life...About his baby...About how I treated him. I would take everything I've said to him during these past few days...I've been such a horrible wife. I sat down for a minute and just breathed...Just breathed. I calmed down enough to find a taxi and tell them the directions...This is a matter of time and luck...Were they to late? Is my Angel going to die? Or are they gonna save him...Please save him.

DUN DUN DUN

JK LOL
