Heart Broken
By Ben

"Chris look out" Rita shouted, but it was too late.

Chris only managed to get a few shots at the man before he was on the ground injured with many bullet wounds.

At that moment Rita was scared as she ran over to the car and radioed the station. "Officer down we need an ambulance."

When the ambulance got there Rita was holding Chris in her arms sobbing and telling him to hang on. She sat by his bed in the hospital holding his hand and watching him sleep. She wondered when he was going to wake up and talk to her.

At that very moment Chris opened his eyes and looked at Rita.

"How do you feel? "asked Rita.

"Great"said Chris "I am here with you and that is all that matters."

Everything was going to be ok thought Rita, Chris was alive and he was going to be here for her and for their baby who had not yet come into the world.

Suddenly without warning Chris was gone.

"Don’t leave me Christopher " Rita cried as she was awaken from her nightmare. She rolled over hoping as always to find Chris beside her, but she knew that he was gone. How could he leave her alone in the world she thought to herself, alone to raise their baby.

Then she realized that as a result of her screaming she had woken the baby. Rita walked slowly to the crib and picked up the child. As she rocked the child in her arms she looked backed fondly on all the time that her and Chris had spent together. They had been partners in crime and best friends. Not only that, there relationship had gone far beyond partners. The love that they shared was one that could have been broken by nothing, but death, and not even that could have ever made them stop loving each other.

Becoming very emotional Rita put the sleeping baby back in her crib and returned to her bed. Sobbing on her pillow she cried to her Christopher.

"I need you to come to me and hold me in my dreams."

Rita was unable to sleep the rest of the night, which happened often. As she thought of her love and the horrible day that he left her she thought to herself ..............."The pain will not last forever, or will it? "
