Vegas's PoV

After our Wedding Day, we have enjoyed our time as a newly wedded couple.

We also both decided to extend our stay at the resort until the last days of Pete because I know how much he loves the sea and how much he enjoys our stay here so I granted his wish to stay here.

Together with our cats, we spend our day as if it is always our last.

We play by the beach.

Pete would sometimes crave for a date by the beach.

We also watch his favorite shows.

And we would always feed each other as if we were just a new couple.

Everything felt so good that I always wish that it won't end anymore.

Everyday seem so perfect that it made me so afraid to wake up without Pete by my side.

But I think the day that I have been afraid of has now come.

Pete's PoV

I can feel that as days pass by, I became more happy with Vegas but at the same time my body can't seem to stop from getting weaker and weaker.

This past few days I can't even stand anymore that's why I only stay inside the room but I don't get bored as I always stare through the clear glass door on our room that has the view of the most beautiful part of the beach. And also Vegas never left me alone, he's always there for me and I can't ask for more.

But today is the weakest that I've ever been and I can feel that anytime now can be my last moment in this world.
So I ask Vegas to stay with me in the bed as we watch the sunset on the beach through the clear door.

With the last energy that I have in my body, I use it to tell Vegas everything that I wanted to tell him.

"Vegas... Can you come here beside me?" He didn't even hesitates to lie beside me, he even puts my head on his shoulder. But I can sense that he is feeling down because I think he also knows that this might really be the last moment for us.

"Vegas?" I call him.

"Hmm?" with shakiness in his tone, he answers.

"Thank you..."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you...for coming back for me." he can't find an answer with what I have said and I can feel that he is crying but he doesn't want to show it to me.

"Thank you Vegas. For coming back, for spending your days with me, for staying with me"

"Pete..."

"Vegas, don't worry about me anymore. Please find someone to be with you when I'm gone huh?"

"No Pete! I won't do that."

"Vegas, it's okay...it is fine"

"But for me, it is not! Pete, I will never look for anyone. You are my Love, Pete. Don't ever say that again okay. You will be the only one that I will love in this lifetime Pete and that's my choice. I love you so much Pete." and then he kiss my head.

I'll admit, I was very touched by what he said because I know as much as I do, he is hurting too.

I am still wishing to the universe to give me more days to spend with Vegas.
I badly wanted to stay by his side, forever.

Vegas's PoV

I kiss his head and I can see that tears are flowing in his eyes but still he manages to smile.

This moment is really bittersweet.
Everything is so perfect but not the fact that we both know that this might be the last moment for the both of us.

I want to be with him for a longer time.

I can do anything just to extend his time.

I just want to live in this world with him.

"Vegas? Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?" this man still have the guts to talk and talk even though he is obviously struggling already.

"Do you still remember my favorite song?"

"Ofcourse, If by Bread" actually we both love this song

"Can you sing it for me, please?"

"You know that I have a terrible voice huh? Do you want your ears to bleed?" I joke. In this way, I can hide the pain that I am feeling right now.

"No, Vegas. Your voice is my favorite. It is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Please, let me hear my favorite person sing my favorite song"

Pete, you know that I will do anything for you.
So, I grab the guitar beside our bed and grant his request.

When I started to strum the guitar to the tune of "If", I saw how big his smile is and it really warmed my heart.

"If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?"

Pete, you're the best thing that ever happened in my life.

"The words will never show the you I've come to know"

"If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?"

I keep on singing but I can't hide my tears anymore. And it also shows with how I sing the song as my voice become more shaky.

"There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me to"

"And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me"

By this time, I stopped singing as I felt that my shoulder where Pete is leaning become heavy.
I also can't feel his breath anymore.

My tears burst out already. I tried to look at him.

And as I turned to him, I see him still smiling.
I'm glad that even for the last time, I am the reason for his smile.

So even with a heavy heart, I tried to finish the song for him because I know this is the only thing that I can do to make him happy.

I continued to sing the song.

"If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you"

"Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way"

"If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die"

"I'd spend the end with you"

"And when the world was through"

"Then one by one the stars would all go out"

"Then you and I would simply fly away"

As soon as I finished the song, I put back the guitar and held Pete in my arms now.

"Pete..."

"Pete, I'm sorry" I said as I cry like a child.

"I'm sorry Pete that I can't do anything. Sorry for wasting my time to be with you. I'm sorry for hurting you. Sorry for being too late, Pete... I'M SORRY" I cried so much as I apologized to every stupid things that I have done.

I should been brave to be with you.

I should have thought of you first before thinking about what others would think about us.

I should have treated you better, Pete.

"Pete, Thank you" still crying so much while saying this.

"Pete, Thank you for waiting for me. Thank you for giving me a chance to spend your last days with me. And thank you so much for loving me unconditionally. Thank you Pete."

"When I said that you will be the only person that I will love in this lifetime, I really meant it Pete. This heart of mine, it has already found you and no matter how much I look for anyone, this heart of mine only beats for you, Pete. That is how much I love you, Pete."

"It was such a shame that you will never hear all of this anymore, I should have took the courage to tell you all of this much earlier."

"Pete, I love you. Until we meet again my smile, my love, my life and my Happiness."
