When he died, a wave of shock and sadness washes over you. He was there, he was breathing, talking, and suddenly… he wasn’t. He just whispered something you didn’t hear, and he was gone. Your mind was too clouded to hear, the ringing in your ears too LOUD. You feel your heartbeat grow quicker, louder, until you shook it away.
You get up and punch the wall, and pain shoots through your arm. You clench your jaw, unable to make a noise. SHOW NO WEAKNESS. SHOW NO WEAKNESS.
“ You can’t be in here, ” the doctor says. A LAUGH escapes your lips, and you show him the ( unloaded ) gun. If it was loaded, you wouldn’t hesitate to blow his brains out. Now that HE’S gone, you have nothing to live for. No one to try and BE GOOD for.
You wish you told him how you felt. You wish, more than anything, that you were able to tell him you LOVED him. You wish you could have felt his soft lips against yours, wish you could have made him turn red.
The alcohol burns when it goes down your throat. You run your fingers through your hair as you think. Think about him. He didn’t deserve what he got, and you know it. If only he had been TOUGH like you, STRONG like you, SMART like you, he would be ALIVE. But you couldn’t save him.
( I’M SORRY I’M SORRY I’M SORRY. )
Another shot. More burning in your throat. It’s going straight to your head. You can’t think about anything but him. He’s gone, and it’s your fault. You shouldn’t have tried to SHIELD him from the worst parts of the world. That would harden him and make him STRONG. Make him realize it wasn’t worth saving those kids, wasn’t worth a minute of it.
You wonder what he’d say to you, now. Probably tell you it wasn’t your fault. But it was. It always was.
Even as you walked into the grocery store, you wondered what he’d do. Would he try and stop you? You’d tell him you loved him -- but would he feel the same?
Relief. You felt relief as the bullets jerked you around. A grin grows on your face, and you wonder if you’d see him again. No. He’d be in heaven, and you were going to hell.
You hoped he was happy. Because you never had been, and you never would be.
