*XAVIER'S POV*

The doctor is wrong. She is definitely  wrong. Sapphire cannot be dead, she can't be. She said she wouldn't leave me, she fucking promised me!

Sapphire cannot be dead. I refuse to believe it.

How can she be dead? She was laughing and flirting with me a few minutes back . It can't be. She was smiling, laughing, telling me she loved me! I sobbed as I clutched her lifeless body, willing the life back into her.

''Son, try and get a hold of yourself the ambulance is here...we still need to take her to the hospital...we need to get a dead certificate of her and...'' she went over the formalities like it was just another case for her, just another dead person she had to document. But she was wrong this time.

''SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! SHE'S NOT DEAD!'' I yelled. She looked taken aback, but still smiled sympathetically.

"NO! It's impossible. She can't be" I wept in anguish.

''I know what you're going through, get a hold of yourself son'' She rubbed my back and I hated it. It wasn't her place to console me!

"How can you possibly know what I am going through?!" I roared at her. How dare she say that! she rubbed my back but I didn't want her to do it. I wanted Sapphire to wake up and rub my back. Though she was being so nice, I hated her and everybody at the moment. How could they readily accept that she was no longer here in this world when she was still here, nestled in my arms, silent and angelic.

I sat on the floor with Sapphire in my arms surrounded by crowds of bystanders who had come to the conclusion that she had passed away. The doctor was crouched next to me and Sapphire, whilst Elizabeth was sat a couple of feet away from us emotionless. She too had blood on her, from trying to take me away from Sapphire, but even she thought Sapphire was dead. I had hope.I saw people crouch down and pull me away from her, telling me to let go.

But the pain was too overwhelming that I blacked out to the sounds of people yelling my name.

I opened my eyes to a familiar sight that was my bedroom. I was in my house. How did I even get here? Shuffling in my bed, I turned to my left, rendering me speechless. There she was, right next to me, looking at me with that beautiful grin of hers. It was Sapphire. I couldn't believe that she was here with me, I told everyone that she was not dead, she had just fainted, but no one listened to me. They thought I was the crazy guy.

I tried to speak, tell her that I loved her, that I was so worried and I wouldn't let anything happen to her but something stopped me. It was like my voice was never there. She smiled, shaking her head. The same way she used to shake her head when I did something stupid, ''How are you, Xavier?'' She placed her hand on my cheek.

I tried to speak but again couldn't.

''You're here?'' I was confused. Was that accident just a really bad dream?

''Yes, me. Why? Did you want someone else in bed with you?'' she giggled again and pocked my chest.

''But princess, you were there lying in front of me, there was blood everywhere and I - I tried talking to you, but you didn't answer. That car, it hit you and the lady said you were dead...'' I closed my eyes as memories of the accident arose. I took a deep breath to calm the pain that was arising.

I laughed as I realised it was a dream indeed. Nothing of that sort happened, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was up. I just felt different, I felt deflated, you know that sinking kind of feeling that you get in your chest. But I brushed it aside. My princess was here with me in the flesh.

''Xavier, how can I leave you? By the way, you never gave me my surprise'' She spoke as she pouted, but she began smiling as her big lovable eyes pierced mine. I chuckled because she could never stop smiling. Even when she was mad, it never lasted because it was not long before she was hopping around with that big fat grin plastered on her face.

''I'll miss you, Xavier,'' She spoke after a while in a sad tone.

''What do you mean?'' I questioned. Where is she going? Did I do something wrong?

''God Xavier! How many questions can you ask in a minute? '' She frowned, her being pissed evident in her face but she still managed to look innocent.

I nodded, ''Fine, no more questions'' I confirmed with a soft kiss on her lips. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed me back, slowly, savoring this feeling.

I saw her hand and she was clutching her locket in it. I looked at her as I grabbed her hand, pulling her closer, ''Why did you take off your locket?''

''Oh, this? I want you to have it '' She smiled at me, yet her face held no emotion.

''What do you mean?'' I asked her again ''Your mother gave it to you, and you never take it off" Being confused was an understatement.

''Xavi! You said no more questions! Just keep this''

''But why princess? There must be a reason, all this is confusing me. You're making me worried.'' I could not deny that I was happy, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong very wrong. She never took her locket off, so why was she all of a sudden giving it to me to keep.

''Is it wrong that I am telling my boyfriend to keep something? I just want you to have it. Don't over think it, Xavier." Her giving her locket to me raised my suspicions. But, I didn't comment further and took the locket from her, holding it tight in my hands.

After that, we kept talking. She was talking more animatedly than normal. The topics were focused on us; how we first met, how I proposed to her, how we first told each other about our feelings. But, I also noticed that she only talked about our past. Nothing about our future.

I also remembered that her surprise was still due, ''Promise me you will always take care of yourself and you won't over exert yourself with all that work you do'' She abruptly asked.

''I promise.'' I fought the uneasy feeling settling in my chest and smiled, she smiled, too.

''Promise me no matter what happens you will take care of yourself and never break down, you have to stay strong for me forever'' I felt like she was saying this because she was going to leave me and I didn't like it one bit.

''Why?'' I asked. I didn't like where this was heading. She didn't answer but stuck to smiling and pulling me into a hug. I was sure that everything that happened was just a dream. And I never felt this much relieved than ever, but why was she talking as if she was saying goodbye.

''Xavier'' She looked into my eyes with so much love and affection, erasing the memories of the bad dream. It felt like it never happened.

"Thank you for everything you did for me. Just know that I love you so much, please stay strong and tell Elizabeth not to cry too much. She'll spoil her mascara."

I laughed at her concern for the mascara as she winked at me.

''I love you, princess.''

She giggled, her voice echoing around the room. ''I love you too Xavier"

I placed my head on her lap as she played with my hair. I dozed off to the sounds of her saying "And remember, stay strong.'' As blackness took over.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

I woke up to the annoying incessant beeping sounds of the alarm. I groaned but became alert to the sound of sobbing. I looked to my left to see Lizzi sitting on a chair, her hands holding her head as she cried.

''Li-Lizzi?'' I could not speak, my throat felt dry. I coughed and licked my lips to get some moisture in my mouth.

''Oh my God, you're okay. Thank God. '' She ran towards me and hugged me tightly. I could sense that she had been crying extensively, her cheeks were moist as they glistened against the light whilst her eyes were red.

''Where is Sapphire?'' I asked her.

Her eyes widened at my question with surprise, but then it changed to an understanding before she began crying again. ''Oh Xavier......Don't you...Don't you remember?'' She spoke in-between her sobs.

''Remember what Liz?' I frowned.

''Xavier, Soph...Our Sapphire is no more, she died in the car accident. Here.'' She handed me a paper that was crumpled along the edges.

''Here....is her...death certificate.'' She sat deflated in her chair as she sobbed.

As soon as those words slipped out of her mouth, my head started spinning, and everything went black again.
