BEEP BEEP 

He remembered that day in the park. It was so sunny and her smile lit up the sky.

Another day, the rain would pour and they would spend all day indoors with hot chocolate and marshmallows, whilst watching her favourite movie.

He would attempt to braid her hair or simply feel how soft it was.

She was always so charismatic and full of energy. 

BEEP BEEP

His mind clicked and brought him back to the present as his eyes once again welled up.

BEEP BEEP  

The sound echoed off of the white walls as the green line jumped.

 BEEP BEEP 

A small frail body lay on the white bed.

BEEP BEEP 

Her soft face looked troubled and her eyelids covered her deep hazelnut eyes.

 BEEP... BEEP 

Soft brown hair which he had always loved was tucked under her.

BEEP...... BEEP 

His head lay on the bed and his body shook.  

BEEP... ... ... BEEP 

The sound of sobbing could be heard from outside but his ears only heard the shaky breaths and soft heartbeat.

BEE...

Tears seeped through the sheets and he lifted his head. 

...EEP. 

He could barely see through the tears but he knew that he face was calm and her mind was at rest. 

Silence.

The wait was over.

She was gone.
