A Girl In A Million

He looks deadly pale. His face is a waxen color and there are dark bruises beneath his eyes. Once round cheeks are now sunken in and his lips are chapped and bleeding. His hair is matted to his forehead, making him look even iller.

Elsa would never have thought she would ever see him like this, laying in a hospital bed with tubes sticking out of him. They’re the things that are keeping him alive. His body has to go through a whole healing process before it can function on its own again.

Tears are streaming freely down her cheeks. Elsa would have thought she had no more tears to shed after having cried for hours but apparently she was wrong. There are still enough left to spend on her breaking heart.

Here in this bed lays the man she loves with all she has. She has given up everything for him and all she wanted in return was his love. She had it once, but she had lost it a long time ago.

Elsa knows what she has to do. She knows she has no choice, even though it’s going to break her heart beyond repair. It’s no longer her choice to make, she now has someone else to think about. She can’t afford to be selfish the way she’s been in the past.

“Goodbye,” she whispers even though the man in the bed can’t hear her. She closes her eyes as the emotions become too much for her. She has to swallow before she can go on. “I’m really sorry my love, but I have no other choice. It’s not because I don’t love you, I will always love you, but I have to do what’s best. Please, forgive me.”

Elsa can no longer stand looking at the love of her life and she flees the room. The blonde boy in the bed doesn’t wake as one of his reasons for living runs out of his life forever.
