'Worth it'
Seeing her smile
had made everything worth it.
Even while sweating bullets riding
next to the Fed,
he couldn't get her smile out of his head.
When Mahone
pulled on to that gravel road and
stopped the van, David's mind
had screamed that
something wasn't right.
But still, he would
have told
you it was worth it.
She was worth
it.
The way she had made him feel?
That was like nothing he'd
ever felt.
And telling her who he really was, and how
sorry
he was for having lied to her, made anything
that pissed off Fed
might do to him seem bearable.
Just knowing
that she knew how much he appreciated
all that she had done for
him in their short time together,
had made it worth it, worth
more than all the money buried under that garage.
Their time
together had meant everything to him.
She had meant everything to
him.
That's why he
had played Mahone.
He had known that this would be his only
chance to do right by her,
his only chance to make her
understand
just how he felt about her.
Even when Mahone
had pulled him close,
and whispered his twisted little
secret,
David had known it was worth it.
But he had also
known that he would never keep his
promise to Debra Jean. He would
never write
to her.
He would have lied to her..again.
Somehow that was
David's biggest
regret as he stood there..waiting
He had watched
silently as Mahone pointed the gun at him,
and pulled the
trigger.
And as he felt himself falling,
he had thought of her
smile...
And thinking of
that smile, he had told
himself once again that it was worth it.
And with his
last breath, a ghost of a whisper
was carried on the wind...
Aloha, Debra Jean..
