2Fate
The water rushed past her feet as she walked along the beach. She had jeweled tears flowing down her face. She looked towards the horizon and thought back to the very day he came into her life and then left in a second.
It was a simple fair sunny day. Crystal was on a New York St., window-shopping. She would look at all the stuff that she knew that she could never have. Crystal wasn't paying attention to where she was going until she ran into Derick.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss. I didn't see you there "said Derick.
"It's fine "replied Crystal in a daze.
Crystal eyes couldn't tear away her eyes from his.
"Miss, can I do something for you since I almost ran over you?" asked Derick. 'She is so beautiful' he thought, 'I can't believe I was lucky enough to run into her.
"Well, I could use something to eat if you don't mind "replied Crystal.
"How about a hotdog, or if you want I could take you to a restaurant?" said Derick.
"Restaurant, if you don't mind" said Crystal.
"Not at all" replied Derick.
Crystal opened her eyes as the sun went down 'that was the first time we met...'remembered Crystal. She continued down the beach as she remembered all the times they shared. They had spent 4 years together and were supposed to be married 2 months before it happened.
She began to remember the one thing that plagued her every waking thought.
Crystal sat in a hospital waiting room shaking and crying. Derick had collapsed from a headache that was too painful. Crystal brought him straight to the hospital. She hadn't known what else to do.
"Excuse me miss, are you Crystal Moon?" asked a doctor.
"Yes I am, how's my fiancée?" said Crystal.
"He's in a coma I'm sorry, we don't know if he will ever wake up" said the doctor "but he is living on his own, just in a coma."
She was brought back to reality as pain consumed her. She stopped and fell to her knees and cried as more painful memories came to her head. She remembered all the trips to the hospital and the countless hours of being alone.
"This is the last time I am going to visit him" she whispered to herself.
She went to her car and drove to the hospital. Derick had been in a coma for 3 years. They were going to pronounce him brain dead tomorrow. She arrived at the hospital and slowly walked up to his room. Fresh tears entered her eyes as she walked in.
"Hey, sweetie...it's me Crystal" whispered Crystal. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it and then screamed when she felt his hand squeeze back. The nurses rushed in.
"He squeezed my hand" said Crystal. Derick's eyes began to move open. Crystal's eyes watered once again.
"Crystal" he said in a small voice.
"Derick, I'm here" said Crystal.
"Where am I?" asked Derick.
"You are in the hospital you collapsed 3 years ago, so you have been sleeping for 3 years "replied Crystal.
"I'm sorry for leaving you and getting like this..."he replied. Crystal felt the tears fall down her face. 'How could I have done this to her? How could I have left her alone. I am so horrible' he pondered.
"It wasn't your fault, Derick "whispered Crystal. Derick smiled, he tried lifting his hand to her face and she felt the warmth of his hand on her cheek. She smiled down at him.
"Excuse me miss we need to check him out if he's ok...he just needs to go through some physical therapy and if you like, he can go home wit you tomorrow "said the doctor. Crystal nodded her head.
"I'll be in the hallway if you need me, sweetie" said Crystal and she left the room 'I don't believe this, it must be a dream 'thought Crystal. She fell to the ground and broke into more tears.
"Why are my dreams playing with me" she whispered.
"This isn't a dream you are real and I'm real you are my angel sent from above, remember? "Derick whispered from where he had kneeled next to Crystal. The doctors watched the scenes letting the check-up be delayed for a while. She raised her head and looked into his eyes. Although they never did find out what caused it all to happen but she was just happy to have him back with her to worry.
She knew then that her Derick was back. She knew he was truly back...
A few months later...
"Sweetie, I'm fine" said Crystal.
"Are you sure? Don't you want to sit and rest?" asked Derick.
"Derick, ever since you found out you have been non-stop worrying...please don't worry so much. Ok? "said Crystal.
"Ok" said Derick and kissed Crystal on the nose.
"Everything worked out" said Derick.
"Yes it did" said Crystal.
Crystal and Derick had a baby boy named Brad Derick Lucifer. They lived a happy life with good times and bad, but they always accepted the bad with the good. Even when times got hard they knew all they had to do was remember that they loved each other and everything would turn out fine. They always remembered to teach these lessons to their children so they could have a happy life.
