Second Chance

Seeing Rose lay desolately on my arms unlocked all emotions I had locked away. I couldn't breathe for a few minutes, I wished for nothing else but to see her open her eyes and smile at me. I don't want to believe that she's gone, she can't be gone. I didn't even get to do anything for her, how can I live the guilt of knowing I put her in this position because of my selfish choices.

Watching her go down sucked all breath away from my lungs, I felt her pulse, she had a very faint pulse and that's the hope I held onto with my entire being. She might still have a faint pulse but she doesn't have much time, deciding against waiting for the ambulance, I rushed her in my car and drove madly to the nearest hospital.

She was shot in the right side of her stomach and the bleeding hasn't stopped yet. After what felt like hours, we arrived at the hospital and I didn't hesitate to carry her almost lifeless body to the ER.
