--= Preston's + P.O.V. =--
Everyone is practically gone... I only see the occasional soldier rush by. But their footsteps are deafened by the alarms blaring in my ears.
There were still a lot of people. Just majority of them evacuated. Lachlan rushed up to me a little while ago, but besides that everyone I loved and cared about ran for their lives.
Leaving me behind. Silent tears streaking down my face I looked up at the ceiling as everyone else panicked and rushed in a frenzy. The numbness taking over I let my eyes close slowly.
Not wanting to see what was about to happen to me. A sigh escaping my lips I heard a familiar voice call my name.
The alarms blaring all around me I felt my heart skips beat as the same voice called my name yet again. Snapping my eyes open I saw Rob running towards me.
"PRESTON!!!" Rob cried out. Hot, wet tears streaming down Rob's face I felt my eyes snap open. Before immediately struggling to get up and hug Rob.
Even though deep in my heart I knew I couldn't. Giving up with the struggle I let Rob run towards me and engulf me in a hug.
Knowing I had no other choice but to accept the crying man who was holding me. A shaky breath escaping Rob's lips I rested my head on Rob's shoulder.
"Why aren't you hugging me back?" Rob questioned. Sounding worried about me I just pulled away and stared Rob in the eyes.
"I can't leave." I spoke up. Rob's eyes seeming to widen at the statement I bobbed my head towards the handcuffs before Rob could say anything.
"......Preston-"
"You gotta get out of here." I directed. Interrupting Rob in his tracks he gave me a look as if I were mental.
"....Preston I'm not leaving and I don't care." Rob stated firmly. Grasping my shoulders tightly I stared Rob firmly in the eyes.
Tears trickling down both of our faces simultaneously I just buried my head into Rob's chest...... I can't handle this....
"Rob?" I asked. Curious to ask something Rob immediately perked his head up and stared straight at me.
"Yeah Preston?" Rob wondered. Curious for what I had to say I flashed Rob a smile before asking the question itself.
"Can you shut me down?" I asked. The question immediately making Rob shake he shook his head.
"No!!" Rob defended. Trying to sound firm it only ended up coming out as a squeak.
"Rob. Listen to me. If you can shut me down, someone will start me back up again!! But right now you need to get out of here!!" I demanded.
Not taking no for an answer Rob gazed into my eyes. More tears falling down both of our faces he just nodded before ripping my shirt off.
A blush seared on to my cheeks I watched Rob's every movement. Rob's fingers stopping just above my waistline I watched him pry it open as he began to fumble with the wires.
"There." Rob commented. Flipping a switch I immediately felt my eyes start growing heavy. A yawn escaping my lips I curled up into a little ball and looked up at the crying Rob.
"Thanks Rob. For everything." I thanked. A smile on my lips I just watched as my eyelids slowly started to close.
"Anytime Preston. I love you." Rob answered. My heart skipping a beat a little I felt my smile grow wider as my eyes fully closed shut.
Leaving me alone in the emptiness again as I drifted off into sleep......
I love you too Robert........ I love you too...

Oh my gosh sad ending much?! :(..... I feel bad now... But... Where there's a sad ending, there's an epilogue!!
And I know a lot of you like this book, I personally love the book. But I don't think I will be making a sequel to this.
This was my idea, this is all I wanted to do and...I don't want to lose interest and put you guys on hold of you get what I'm saying.
So, this is not goodbye. Because we still have an epilogue to make. But, I will say this. There are WAY more books to come.
And I already posted one recently and trust you me this new book shall be interesting. So.... I hope you all enjoyed!
