was in total shock. Tears filled her eyes as she struggled to catch her 
breath. “Oh my God. David, what happened to Xander?” “He was hit by a 
flying piece of metal-or something I don't know, it's in his heart.” 
Rosemary thought franticly, what should she do? 

“David,” she began, “I need you to listen to me. Stay on the phone. Do
not hang up” she started the car's engine again, “I'm on my way.” “No! 
Rose no! You'll be killed you know that!” “David! Listen I'm on my way 
okay? I need you to keep my baby alive for me. You hear me? I'm 
trusting you. Please, David, please.” David paused for a moment. He 
knew Rose would risk her life for Xander weather he helped or not, but 
his two best friends needed his help right now, and he couldn't back 
down. “Don't worry Rose, he's going to be fine.”  “Thank so much David. 
I love you and be careful, you hear me?” Rosemary struggled to fight 
back tears. “I will Rose, I love you too.” 

She hung up the phone and picked up her speed. Tears poured from her
eyes. This couldn't be happening. When she arrived at the World Trade 
Center, ambulances were surrounding the two towers. Smoke and debris 
filled the air. She choked on the dusty air as she stepped out of her 
car. She ran towards the entrance to the south tower, but a fireman 
stopped her. “Whoa, lady where do you think you're going?” He asked. 
“My fiancée is in there!” “I'm sorry ma'am, but I can't let you in 
there. You'll be killed. Just sit down and relax, I'll get you some 
water. And don't worry, you're fiancée will be just fine.” Rose sat 
down on the back of a fire truck as the man went to get her some water. 
She put her head down on her knees and began to cry uncontrollably. The 
love of her life was in there. How could she just sit out there and 
wait for him to die? Then, she looked up and saw an open path to the 
entrance. She looked around; there was no fireman in sight. She got up 
and ran as fast as she could into the tower. “Hey! Miss!” she heard the 
fireman call from behind, “You can't go in there!” She ignored him and 
went inside. She ran around franticly searching for Xander and David. 
“X! David!” She called. “Rose!” she heard David's voice call out from 
behind her. She spun around to see David kneeling beside a dying 
Xander. “Ooh my God, Xander!” She screamed and ran to his side. 

People were running out of the building, some fighting for their lives,
it was a horrible sight. She laid her head down on Xander's chest. This 
couldn't be real. It was all just a horrible nightmare. Soon, she would 
wake up in Xander's arms. Just then, a loud rumble was heard from above 
them. 

“David!” she said, “You gotta get out of here do you here me? Go!” “I'm
not leaving you here Rose!” “David, you listen to me, you can make it, 
go home to Lizzy, David, she needs you.” David searched Rosemary's eyes 
as if looking for an answer; he didn't know what to do. “Please David, 
go.” “He hugged Rose, crying. “I love you both,” he said sobbing. He 
kissed Rose's cheek and leaned to his dying best friend. “You take care 
of yourself,” Xander said, struggling for words, “And Lizzy, she needs 
you.” “Yea,” David said, “You take care of yourself too.” He hugged 
Xander and got to his feet. “Goodbye,” he whispered, and ran out 
without looking back. He couldn't bare to, but he knew what he had to 
do, for Lizzy. 

“Xander, baby listen to me, were gonna get out of here!” “Rose, you're
wearing that dress I bought you, it looks so beautiful on you.” Rose 
smiled through her tears, “Yea, it's your favorite.” More rumbling was 
heard from up above. Rose looked around her. People ran franticly out 
the door screaming, and yelling for help. She turned back to Xander. 
His eyes were closing. “X! Listen to me, were gonna make it, you just 
have to stay with me okay?” She looked into his eyes and kissed him. “I 
bought you a car today baby.” “You bought me a car?” Rose nodded, “A 
Lexus SC430.” “Wow, a Lexus,” “And were going on a cruise, X, to 
Hawaii, so you have to stay awake, you don't wanna miss that.” “You did 
all that for me?” “Yes, because I love you.” His eyes started to close 
again. “X! Stay awake X! Please!” “Rose, he said, struggling to reach 
into his pocket, “I love you with all my heart. Will you marry me?” he 
asked, pulling out a diamond ring from his pocket. “Yes!” Rose 
exclaimed, “Yes Xander I will marry you! But you have to stay with me!” 
“I love you Rosemary,” He said, and his eyes closed once more, never to 
open again. “No! Xander! No!” She put her head on his chest and cried. 
Then, she heard an enormous rumble. She looked up, the tower was 
collapsing. She looked at Xander and touched his face. “I love you too, 
Xander. Always.” She put her head back down on his chest and closed her 
eyes. The weight of the tower slammed down on the couple, killing 
Rosemary instantly. 

Outside the tower, David had seen the tower collapse, and knew Rose was
still inside. He cried into his hand, wondering why he didn't stay too. 
But then he remembered; the one he loved was home waiting for him, and 
he knew that's what Rose and Xander what have wanted. He turned towards 
home, and walked down the empty street. He sighed to himself knowing 
that Rose and Xander were together now, and they would always be, for 
all time.
