I do not, and never will, own the song 'Say Something' by A Great Big World, nor do I own or have ever owned Code Lyoko. I suggest that while you read it listen to the song, it's really a good song. Now on with the fic!
He was the one that had kept me sane. The one who helped me up when I had fallen. He was my life, my light, my sunshine on a rainy day.
I remember the way he looked at me, with those chestnut-brown eyes. The eyes that were now a dull, dark brown almost black color. He was the one I loved, the boy of my dreams, the one I told everything to.
It was inevitable. We knew what XANA was capable of, but we took the risk anyways. I knew it would happen eventually. I knew this day would come, but I hoped it wouldn't come to this.
Anyone but him. I held his head in my lap, tears cascaded down my cheeks. I thought about the day I met him. It was my first day at Kadic. I didn't know this would have been possible then.
I caressed his cheek and looked at his lifeless body. I felt as though the world was closing in on me. I was all alone in this horrible place. My tears drenched my face and shirt.
I knew we couldn't beat XANA. Were just a bunch of teenagers. Little helpless teenagers who had no idea what they were up against. I never would have thought I would lose him.
I knew bad things were going to happen from the what I didn't know was that it would end up like this.
I was left abandoned in a world that I did not know. I was left in a world where giving in to the darkness within our hearts was our only escape.
I looked into his lifeless eyes that seemed as though they were getting darker and darker. I loved him. And everyone said that he loved me back. I didn't believe them.
But know I know they were right. He did love me. He gave his life to someone who didn't deserve it.
He gave it all up for a girl who had lost all hope long ago.
I remember seeing it all happen. How he...went.
He was battling XANA. The real XANA.
But he wasn't strong enough. But he was brave enough.
I closed his eyes, and felt fresh tears slip down my reddened cheeks.
"I miss you." I say as though I'll wake him
I lean in and kiss him for the last time.
I wish I could have told him,
I wish I could have told him how much he meant to me. I soon notice a shadow approaching us.
He was the first person to accept me for who I was. That's why I felt the way I did. He was perfect, even when no one else was. I feel selfish for being the one,
The one he gave it all up for. His hopes, his dreams, his love.
He gave it all up so I could live to see tomorrow. It's too bad I won't make it to then. I won't be able to tell the others either. I watch it charge a ball of energy.
It walks over to me and throws it directly at my chest. I hit the ground next to him and my heart starts to slow. I look at the brown-haired boy next to me, "Ulrich," I say quietly. It charges another one and points it at my chest again and the words fly out of my mouth, those three word that mean so much, "I love you."
