Prologue
Brett
"Sarah, don't do this. Damn it!
Stay with me." I reach over and gently brush the blood-soaked hair off her
forehead.
Even in this horrific moment, I'm in
absolute awe of how beautiful she looks. Bleeding and broken, unmoving in my
arms, she is still the most mesmerizing woman I have ever laid eyes on. Deep
down, I know this is just the husk of my wife. My Sarah would never have done
this to herself. More importantly, she would have never done this to me. Maybe
it takes this level of madness, but I finally realize that I have lost her
completely.
Whether she lives or dies, Sarah is
gone. This is not the woman who made me laugh more in seven years than the rest
of my life combined. She definitely isn't the woman I spent years planning a
future with, a future that now no longer exists. I feel a heavy weight in my
chest at my silent confession, but oddly enough, I also feel a weight lifted
off my shoulders. I have watched this woman disintegrate in front of my eyes
for almost seven months. Every day, losing her a little more. The light in her
eyes fading, while piece by piece and bit by bit, she lost grip of reality.
Mentally, emotionally, and now physically, she's left me.
My Sarah died seven months ago on
her way home from dinner, and I will never see her walk back into my life.
Suddenly, I can't breathe. I'm terrified—and not only because Sarah might
finally succeed in taking her own life. I'm paralyzed by the realization that
my life is spiraling down in a free fall headed straight for misery, and the
only thing I can think to do is anchor myself to this dying woman. I love Sarah
with all my heart, but I am not clinging to the woman in my arms. Rather, I’m
clinging to the life I thought we were going to have together. I have to accept
that she isn't there anymore. Her heart might still be beating, but the bloody,
confused, emotionally lost woman I am holding now is only the shell of my first
and only love.
"Where the fuck is that
ambulance?!" I yell as loud as my cracking voice will allow. Stroking the
little bit of her unmarred skin I'm able to reach, I whisper in her ear,
"Hang on, baby." Then I repeat the one sentence I have said almost
daily since the tragic event that stole her from me. Maybe I say it for her,
maybe just for me, but I know that it’s the biggest lie I have ever uttered.
"Just hang on, baby. It’s all going to be okay."
