My dear Savi, words can’t express how much I truly care and love you. I know I don’t say it enough but I really do love you and I don’t know what I would do without you. I know it’s been hard after losing the baby but I know we will get through this together. We have each other after all and when the time comes we will have the chance to try again. I love you Savi and I can’t picture myself with anyone else but you. You make me the happiest I’ve ever been and I hope for one day to make you my wife. I don’t care what anyone thinks because all I need is you. You and me, forever and a day. – Vic.’


I notice the date on the corner of the page as I stare at my handwriting and notice it to be dated the day of the crash. I skim through the note and I feel the wall in my mind finally break down and all my memories of Savi start to rush back into my mind. I start to remember everything; the day I first saw her at the show, our time together and that night. I start to feel a pain in my head and I bring my head up to my scalp to find what feels like a scar, reminding me of the crash. If I would have known how she was feeling, if I would have given her this note she wouldn’t have left the house, she wouldn’t have been in that crash and she would have been here with me instead of in the hospital in a coma. I look up from the note in my hand and start to really look at the decorations on the walls. How was I not able to remember all of this? I shake my head and turn around to leave the room but stop when I see Mike standing by the door way. I stand there frozen as I feel anger fill me at just the sight of him.

“Did you know about this?!” I say through my teeth but he doesn’t answer or look at me just nods. “Why were you hiding this from me? I asked you about her and you lied and told me you didn’t. You knew all about Savi and you didn’t tell me! Why would you do that?”
“I was protecting you.”
“Protecting me?! How? You were trying to make me believe that something was wrong with me!”
“I didn’t want you hurting anymore ok!” He yells to stop m me. “The doctor said you were going to have a hard time remembering things and I didn’t want to see you hurting anymore. You don’t think it killed me seeing you so depressed after you two lost the baby and seeing you screaming out her name while you were in the hospital. I thought we were going to lose Savi and I didn’t want you to continue on hurting once she was gone.”
“But she’s alive, don’t you get that? I could have been there for her Mike. How do you think I feel knowing now that my girlfriend’s spirit has been visiting me and I didn’t even know who she was! I could have done something and you kept this from me!”
“There was nothing you could have done Vic, nothing you can do now. She’s in a coma and she doesn’t look like she’s getting out. That is not your fault but you need to learn to let her go.”
“Let her go?! You obviously have never been in love before have you?”
“How can you possibly say you were in love? She was a fan Vic, just a hookup and nothing more.”
“Does this sound like just a hook up to you?” I said, slamming the note on his chest. “It was never a hook up, I loved her. I still do.” I heard my phone ring in my pocket and I take it out as Mike starts to read the note. I swipe my finger across the screen and bring the phone up to my ear.
“Hello?”
“Vic, hi it’s Jocelyn from the hospital. I hope I haven’t caught you in a wrong time.”
“No, no. What’s going on?”
“I’m sorry to inform you but Savannah’s health has taken an unexpected turn for the worse. We are trying to do the best possible to help her body fight this but I believe her parents are wanting to cut the cord tomorrow afternoon so she could finally rest.” I felt the phone slip and I see Mike look up from the note to see what was wrong.
“Vic?” I hear him shout my name but my mind was already so far away for me to respond. I hear Jocelyn shout my name from the phone on the floor bringing me back to reality. I look at Mike and pass by him to rush out to my car. “Vic where are you going?”
“You better hope I’m not too late.”
