BROKEN SOULS THREE

CHAPTER THREE

Dr. Marcus removed his surgical mask and starred at Camille with sympathy, he cleaned up and went to break the bad news to the family.

He opened the door and walked out. Immediately when the saw him the family rushed to him waiting anxiously for the update on Camille.

‘’How is she doing? I ask frantically.

Dr. Marcus sighs deeply. ‘’It’s complicated, but she has temporarily gained consciousness.’’

‘’What do you mean? I ask blankly.

‘’Look Andrew the brain damage was too much, her brain will stop functioning in a few minutes I don’t know-how long she has, but she has requested to see you.

The family began to weep silently.

‘’Go son she needs you… Kate whispers.

I nod.

The doctor ushers me to Camille’s room.

When I entered the room I felt shattered inside.

‘’Andrew’’ she sobs tearfully.

I cradled her in my arms tightly.

‘’Shhh… as I silenced her.

‘’Everything will be fine my love’’ I said quietly.

‘’No!’’ don’t pretend Andrew the nurse told me everything… she whispers.

‘’ I won’t make it, but I just- she trails off mid-sentence when our eyes meet intensely.

‘’Andrew Jameson I love you… she cries.

‘’I won’t ever stop loving you this was never your fault, so don’t blame yourself don’t let my absence affect your life I… she trails off tearfully.

‘’Am sorry I couldn’t be your wife nor be the mother of our children’’ she whispers, as tears rolled down her cheeks.

''I wanted to give you lots of kids so that we could spoil them together… I'll cherish all our memories… she whispers.

Her eyes fluttered closed as she took her last breath. I sprang to my feet tears streaming down my cheeks.

‘’Camille!’’ I shouted cupping her pale cold cheeks.

‘’Please don’t leave me… I can’t live without you I love you I sob mournfully.

I held her in my arms crying my heart out.

‘’No!’’ I screamed.

It wasn’t long before I was standing in the cemetery, as they lowered down Camille’s casket.

That day they didn't only bury her, but they buried me as well we were one soul.

If I could go back in time I would take her place without wasting any time. I gently placed her favorite flowers on her grave.

I sat there looking at her headstone tearfully.

Bitter tears rolled down my cheeks, as I held her lace scarf. The only memory of Camille I held so dearly to my shattered heart.

‘’I wish could take your place Camille… am sorry’’ I sob.

I got up and wiped my tear stricken face walking down a narrow road that, seemed endless.

‘’My destination was unknown, but I just wanted to leave these painful memories behind.’’
