You lay on the grass, staring up at the moon, Alex by your side. This was something you had always wanted to do with him, look up at the stars and envision your future together.

Alex chokes out a sob and you snap back to reality. Alex sits at your side as he clutches your hands, “they’re on the way baby.. the medics will be here soon..” he says, his voice weak. He knew he was lying, but he wanted you to feel comfort and love as you bled out in the grass beneath him.
