Dear Diary, [S.M]

-VINCE'S POV-

Olivia is laying in the hospital bed sleeping. She doesn't know I came to see her. She would have told me not to come. She doesn't like being seen like this.

I sit beside her and take her hand. She's sleeping.

"I don't want to loose you." I tell her, kissing the top of her hand.

"I love you." I say, my voice cracking at the end.

"I love you too." She whispers with a smile. She opens her eyes and looks at me. I smile and kiss her cheek.

"Your not gonna loose me." She shakes her head. I know she's trying to be strong. I respect her for trying but I wish she would tell me exactly what she's feeling.

"Olivia, it's okay to be scared." I tell her.

She's only 13. She shouldn't have to worry about whether she'll live to see tomorrow. She should only have to worry about whether she finished all her homework or if she has enough money to go to the mall with her friends. This is too much for a 13 year old girl to deal with.

"I'm terrified, Vince." She whispers with tears in her eyes.

I frown and hug her. She can't leave me. She can't leave her parents. She can't leave anyone, she's going to live to see tomorrow and I'll be right here with her.
