PROLOGUE
“W-w-why thank you Mr.Saunders, I’d be delighted to.” I said nervously down the phone as the other hung up.
Well, you may feel a bit strange not knowing what was going on in that phone call. That man was Mr.Saunders of Saunders & Bowen solicitors, Norwichl. After I’d graduated from Cardiff University I came to Liverpool, looking for a job and perhaps a partner. Well until now I’d been successful in one of these ventures, I’d found a partner, Rose, that’s her name a real charmer she is Rose Longfield, long brown hair down her back, startling green eyes and a body to match any super-models.
I quickly ran out of the house and walked to Rose’s, I was approaching her street and saw her step onto the road with her groceries, I saw her smile as she saw my face and then her crumple to the ground as the car hit her. I immediately reached into my pocket for my phone and grabbed the battered old Nokia dialling 999.
“Police, fire or ambulance?” a voice asked
“Ambulance, and fast” I said
“What’s the matter?” the same voice asked
“My girlfriends been hit by a car” I said hurriedly
“Address”
“24 Richardstone Lane” I half-shouted
“We’ll by there as soon as possible, sir” the voice said
I looked up again and saw a crowd of people surrounding Rose I then heard a distant Ambulance before running to Rose.
All I could remember was jumping into the ambulance and making the journey to the hospital. They had whisked her off to a ward and shortly after they calmed me down –I’d tried to stay by Rose- her parents joined me. We sat in miserable silence, waiting for any news on Rose’s condition when the doctor walked in we jumoed to our feet.
“I’m sorry, she has lost too much blood if you would like to make your final goodbyes.” He said waving his hand. I allowed her parents in first then I went in myself.

“Hello, Rose” I said
“Hello.” She croaked
“I got the job” I said sheepishly
“Well done!” she said happily before going into a fit of coughs the life support machine blipped.
“Goodbye, Matthew” she said
“Goodbye, Rose” I said kissing her on the forehead as she slipped into a never-ending sleep.
