Last Night Together (Prologue)
"Hey Babes?"
"Yeah?"
"You know I'll always be there whenever you need me, right?"
"I know."
He held her tighter, pulling her body as close to his as he could. Tomorrow she'd be gone and he knew nothing was going to be the same with her gone. Gone forever.
She drifted off in his arms but he refused to sleep, how could he when this was his last night with her? He lay in her bed and held her, cradling her smaller body in his arms. His thoughts drifted back over the years. Five years and I was head over heels for her after a few months. He would have never thought it possible, but this girl had warped his world and he knew she made him better.
"BJ…I love you…"
A smiled spread across his face as she snuggled deeper into his arms. He had discovered that she talked in her sleep the first night he had spent with her. She also cried, screamed and pushed him out of bed (twice). She'll never do that again…what is she going to do when she wakes up in tears and I'm not there to comfort her?
His thoughts were slowly killing him, again. He had known he wouldn't be able to keep her but that never stopped him from hoping. He was so selfish but he was letting her go. Letting? Could I really have kept her here if I had tried? Maybe…
Leaning down her ghosted his lips across hers. The softness of her lips brought back the memory of the first time she kissed him. He'd never get to feel those lips on his again. That thought was the end of him. Eliminating any space left between them he pulled her on top of him and buried his face into her hair. There he finally let his tears fall.
What am I supposed to do when you're gone? Am I supposed to forget you? That's impossible…
