myself, picturing how I would always run my fingers through that particular part after we’d blown each other’s minds.
    “Pulse is dropping!”
    “We’re losing her!”
    “Damn it, move! Move!”
    I feel sad. It was obvious this person had slit their wrists, wanted to end their own life like me. What made this person any less deserving of life than me? Here I was, a murderer, a killer, and someone had taken their own life because maybe their boyfriend was an ass, or maybe their husband was cheating on them. Who at the end of the day controlled you enough to make you want to end your life?
    It’s then that they pass me. It’s then that I look down at the poor girl on her way into heaven or hell. It’s then that my life finally ends. Because it’s then that I realise it’s Blue who is leaving this sick and twisted world before me.
    Am I still out of it? Is this all a dream?
    I run after them, my legs almost failing me, Blue’s blood leading me to her. “Blue?” I croak out. This can’t be right, why is she here, how is this possible? Did I die and this is hell? Did I not wake up after the drugs swallowed me into their world?
    “Move out my fucking way,” Some guy pushes past me and I grab onto his arm to make sure he’s real and this is not me still tripping out. He tries to push me from him but my grip is too strong.
    “Is that really Blue? Martha?” I choke out and his brow furrows.
    “Jenson?” I hear barked. I turn to see her Dad Liam coming towards me, worry lines marring his forehead and that’s when I realise this isn’t a dream, that really was my Blue, bleeding out again. She can’t die. Was this fate sending me a message?
    I’m going to pass out. The air leaves me and my surroundings close in on me. Large hands grip on to me before I can hit the floor.

Reality
     
Jenson
     
    “You need to let us monitor you,” A heavyset nurse huffs at me as she tries to put a blood pressure cuff around my arm. Whoever helped me deposited me on a gurney and left with Blue’s Dad. I need to get to Blue, “Cade!” I call out in a manic shout.
    “You need to calm down Sir, I will sedate you.”
    Like fuck she will. “Cade,” I call and get no answer for a few silent beats and then the curtain draws back and Faye stares at me.
    “Oh God Jenson, I could hear you from the waiting area, Cade left to try and find you, what’s going on?”
    “It’s Blue, I need you to tell this nurse to get off me now.”
    The nurse is standing open-mouthed staring at Faye, she clearly didn’t recognize me and I’m not surprised, I don’t even recognize my own image in the mirror but Faye is as stunning as she always was and getting recognized for her was normal. “Please just give us a minute?” Faye asks. The nurse tells her of course and leaves with a hurry.
    I rip the cuff of my arm and jump down from the bed. Faye opens a bag she’s holding and pulls clothes out and hands them to me, I could kiss her if I wasn’t slowly sinking into a black abyss every second I didn’t know what was happening with Blue. “I brought some of Cade’s, but I have Kimberly bringing some things from your dressing room.”
    “No these are fine, thank you.”
    “What were you saying about Blue, Jens?”
    “She’s here, they just brought her in.”
    Her little gasp and then sceptical look makes me question my reality again but the hole growing in my chest is telling me I didn’t imagine it. My woman, whether she wanted to be it or not, was here and she was leaving me again, leaving me for good.

    “How much fucking longer?”
    “Jen, calm down. The doctors said they would tell us when they have anything to tell us.” Cade grabs my upper arms to stop me pacing, his hold tight but I don’t feel it. I’m too numb. Faye went outside to call him and he was back here within seconds, commanding everyone to leave me the fuck alone and making sure the Doctors included me in the information they
