He was in a car accident. The stupid drunken driver hit him and he was put into ICU in a coma.
He has been in a coma for a year and tomorrow, if he isn't awake they will take him off life support.
Nini looks at his body and crys wishing he was there to wipe away her tears. But he isn't. He hasn't been with her for the past year.
She still sees him everyday but now it is without the warm kisses and bubbly laughter. Without his angelic voice, without his welcoming dazzling smile.
Without him being him. For the past year she looked at his body that looked lifeless. And wanted nothing more to wake up from this terrible nightmare.
But it is real. There is no waking up to Ricky being her. She has slept in a hospital chair for the past year and by slept she means 10 hours per week.
"Baby. If you can hear me. Please wake up. I can't go another day without you here with me.
I need you in my life. I need you by my side. I don't know how long I can go without you.
I don't want to lose you tho I fear I lost you a year ago. I haven't seen those gorgeous brown eyes or heard you angelic voice in a year.
I need you to wake up and come back to the world. Come back to me. Please"she begs.
When nothing happens. "I love you more than you will ever know. I font want to say goodbye to the beat thing that has ever happened to me."
Still nothing. Her heart sinks. She sits back in her chair that she has say in for the last year. 12 months. 52 weeks. 365 days. 8760 hours. 525 600 minutes. 31 536 000 seconds.
She hopes that when she wakes tomorrow he will also wake. She falls a sleep holding his hand.
When she wakes up she sees him in the same state he has been in for 31 536 000 seconds. One year.
The doctor comes in. "Miss Bowen? Have you made your decision?"she asks." Can I have a little more time please?"she begs. The doctor nods and walks out.
"Angel. Please wake up, please. I am begging you to come back to me. Please." she breaks down. He doesn't move.
She suddenly remembers something her dad said when they had to put her dog down. "He is fighting but he is suffering. And you don't want him to suffer."
Ricky was suffering and she didn't want that. He didn't deserve that. The doctor comes back in. "Miss Bowen?" she says.
"He doesn't deserve this. I think we must put him to sleep. I don't want him to suffer. But can I say goodbye first?"Nini sobs to the doctor. "Of course. "she answers and walks out again
"I never thought I would have to say goodbye to my best friend. My lifeline.
But I don't want you to suffer my love. I hope to see you soon and that this is not really goodbye forever.
I love you so much and always will. I don't want to do this. I don't want you to do but I also don't want you to suffer.
I love you angel. "she sobs and squeezes his hand.
The doctor comes in and says it is time. Nini kisses him one last time and squeezes his hand.
The doctor switches the machine off and the heart beat monitor goes to a straight line.
He was gone.
