"You listen and you listen good!" I snapped gripping Darren's shoulders tight, "You will not die!"
Darren smiled up at me. A drop of blood going down his chin. That damn Steve was dead and Evanna trapped Shancus's soul when he was killed and put it back in him but now Darren is dying! Tears streamed down my cheeks.
"Evra..." He said softly and took my hand, "Ev, I have to go..." I shook him.
"No, don't you dare say that!" I cried, "You can't!" a small tear slid down his pale cheek. His dark hair moving to the side to reveal his deep blue eyes.
"I have to buddy." He said again, "It's my time now....You have to let go of me.
"I can't!" I said, "And won't!" He looked up at me and smiled again.
"You're my best friend Darren." I sobbed, "I don't want to lose you!"
"Evra....It was destiny..." He wheezed. I slapped him across the face.
"Don't you dare say that!" I snapped and nuzzled my face in his blood-stained neck.
"Remember when we were children Evra?" He asked.
"Of course I do..." I sobbed.
"Remember smart-ass Sam?" He smirked. I small smile grow on my lips.
"Yes." I said.
"We were all great friends." He sighed and coughed out more blood, "And know you're the only one with your whole life ahead of you. You have your son back. You can go on with life again."
My smile vanished.
"Darren..." I begged, "Please don't go..." With all his remaining strength. He leaned up and kisses my forehead. Like what he did when I wasn't happy. He smiled sadly.
"Sam and I will be waiting for you buddy." He smiled and he slowly closed his beautiful blue eyes. He went limp.
"Darren! Darren please!" I cried, "Please don't leave me!" I sobbed and screamed while the rain fell hard. I held his dead body tight in my arms. Not wanting to let go of him. He was my best friend and now he's gone! I looked at his pale face that was specked with blood. I moved some hair away from his face and saw his smile. I stopped and smiled sadly. I kissed his foredhead and hugged him tight.
"See you later buddy." I whispered.
