WARNING: VERY SAD
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

LOCKWOOD

"Im freaking out George." I said fanning my self with my hands. Today was the day. The day when Lucy Carlyle would become Lucy Lockwood. I was so nervous, and George was trying to calm me down but to no avail .

"Calm down, it will be fine." He said. Thats when the music started playing, it was lovely. One by one the bridesmaids made their way down the isle. 7 in total. We waited, and waited. Then the doors opened, and Lucy stepped in. God she was gorgeous. The flowers in her hair were perfect. Her makeup was incredibly remarkable. My heart stopped and my breath caught. Her dress was amazing. (See picture above) she made her way down the line with her sister. When she reached the end her sister gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

She took her stance next to me. She smiled at me and whispered

" When were down here I want my rapier back."

I chuckled and replied with " Sure thing."

We said our vows, shared some laughs and tears, exchanged some quick check kisses and so on. The entire time, Lucy was smiling away. Until we heard a crack. We looked up to see a board from the ceiling come crashing down. It was giant.
I didn't now what to do. Thats when I felt Lucy push me as hard as she could, away from the havoc from above. I tripped and fell on top of George who also tripped and fell down the stairs. Everyone screamed as the board came down, crushing the love of my life. I screamed and ran to her, trying with all my might to pull this board off. George helped as best he could. When we finally got her out I leant down and cupped her face, her bloody face. My gloves were stained with blood, her blood.

I shook her and yelled her name.

Nothing.

I bent down to look for a heart beat.

Nothing.

I drew two fingers up to her neck

Nothing.

I started sobbing and holding her head against my chest. I rocked her slowly back and forth until paramedics arrived. George drove me to the hospital, and the whole way I couldn't stop shaking.
If she died, what would happen to me. Could I go on without her? No I couldn't. She was apart of me. Forever.

Two hours later

I was sitting by her side. She was still sleeping as I held her hand gently. I finally stopped crying about an hour ago. My face was red and swollen. When was she going to wake up, when was she going to tell me everything was going to be alright? When was she going to look at me with those beautiful eyes again, when would I hear her laugh again? When?

Four weeks later.

Nothing new had happened. Lucy was still sleeping and I was still sitting in that same seat. I only got up to shower, pee and eat. Other than that I stayed with her, never looking away for the fear of loosing her when I wasn't around terrified me.

"Mr.Lockwood?" I heard a voice say from the door.
"Yes?" I said looking up at the petite woman in the doorway.
" Im so sorry to have to say this but.. If your wife doesn't wake up in the next hour, were going ti have to unplug her." She said.
My heart stopped and I all I could do was nod. She left and I broke down again.

"Please, you need to wake up... I need you here with me. Don't leave me Luce, I need you, I need you." I sobbed into my hand. Dont leave me.

After an hour or so nothing had changed. Lucy sit sat motionless. I looked at her heart monitor and back at her pretty face. And for the first time in weeks I thought back to when she pushed me. She had saved my life and I couldn't do anything back.

"Mr. Lockwood. Its time." The same woman said.

"No please she just needs more time, don't do this to me. To her. I need her, I love her." I sobbed.

" I know you do but she isn't getting any better. I don't have a choice." She said coming closer. She sulked over to her bed. I looked at her with a look of true horror as she bent down and unplugged my wife.

What I saw next I knew I would never be able to un see. Lucy started jolting around, she screamed and gasped. She clawed at her throat. She howled in pain. Then, just like that, the line when flat. She was gone. And so was I.
