| Justin walked forward and stood right beside her. "We've seen enough here." He slowly waved his hand in front of her face and they appeared in Oahu Memorial Hospital where Kara's body was resting. Kara walked towards her body that was laying peacefully in its bed. She looked up at the man sitting in the chair next to her. Marc picked up her hand and kissed it. Kara walked over next to him. "Don't leave me, Kara," he whispered. "You mean everything to me. I've lost so much; I don't want to lose you too." Kara sat lightly on the bed and faced Marc. She brushed the back of her hand on his face. "I'd never leave you." "Is that your answer then?" Justin asked from the doorway. He loved her so much and couldn't take it any long being so close to her. All he wanted was to watch her from the clouds as she lived her happy life. That's all he wanted. To make her happy. Kara looked up at Justin. His face was so expressionless. She wondered if he wanted her to leave with him or stay with Marc. "I don't know, Justin." She walked towards him and put her hand on his cheek. "I love you so much." Kara paused. "But I love Marc, too." She took a breath. "I promised myself I'd be with you for the rest of my life. But I don't want to leave Marc." -Like you did to me- she thought. "I can't leave Marc," she restated. -What was meant was, I can't leave a person I love like you did- she thought. "Is that what you want?" Justin asked. "Because if you want to stay here, you can have whatever you want." Kara closed her eyes and took a breath. She rethought everything. "Yeah. Yeah, I wanna stay here." Justin put his arms around her. "Good. 'Cause whatever you want, you should have. You should have whatever makes you happy." She sobbed a little. "You make me happy." "Marc makes you happy, too. And as much as I love you, Marc can give you so much more." "I love you," Kara sniffled. "I know," Justin answered. "I'll never forget you," Kara continued. "You don't have to say that. I'll see you again," Justin said. He stood back and waved his hand in front of her face. "I'll always love you Kara," Justin said to himself. "Even if you don't love me." Kara blinked a few times and woke up in her body. "Marc?" her scratchy voice said. Marc tried as hard as he could not to start crying tears of happiness. He loved her so much and was so grateful she was awake and hopefully well. As so not to hurt her, since she already was, Marc just brushed away some of her hair from her face and lightly kissed her cheek. "Kara," he whispered. "I'm so glad you're okay." A tear ran down Kara's face. "Me too." She reached and wrapped her arms around Marc's neck. She pulled him over her and hugged him as tightly as she could. "I love you Mar." "I love you too, baby," Marc whispered. Kara leaned back onto the hospital bed. Marc leaned over her. "Honey?" Kara asked. "Yeah?" Kara sighed. "Thank you." A confused look flashed over Marc's face. "For what, babe?" Kara shut her eyes and smiled. She pulled Marc close to her and whispered in his ear. "For making me happy." |
