Ok Guys, this is one of the reason why I didn't get to update the other stories that I have going. I hope you guys, will like this one. If not, then I won't continue it and will just go on with the other two. Cheers!
A figure is holding Charlie's hand. Looking deeply in her half opened eyes as tears run down in its own cheeks.
"I don't want to go…" Charlie said, crying in her bed, breathing heavily and slowly "I don't want to be away from you again," she said to the figure that is holding both of her hand and gripping it next to its chest.
"I don't want to let you go either." It said whose eyes are blurred with tears.
"Then don't let me go. You can do it, if you really want to."
"You know, I can't."
"Yes you can! Please… I'm begging you." Charlie pleaded "Just do it, please."
"I love you… so much that I can never let myself give you… this!"
"If you don't, I'll die. Like what happened before. If you don't… we'll have to wait for another time to meet again, only to end in the same way over and over." Charlie said pleadingly. She is hurting because of the disease that is threatening to take her life away, but more so... hurting because she will leave in this world, the person she loves for eternity… again.
"I'm willing to wait, no matter how long it takes."
"And you wouldn't know where I will be of when will I come back or if I'll ever be back," Charlie interrupts, desperate to convince her love to give in and just give it to her.
"I'll look for you. I'll search the world for you, like what I did before. And you know I will find you, like I always do. We'll find each other again. And I know you'll come back. I know you will."
Charlie could see the sorrow in its beautiful brown eyes and could feel the pain in its voice as it speak and its heart breaking as it desperately trying not to give in, in her pleads.
"Why wouldn't you want to give it to me?" Charlie asked, even thought she knows the answer.
"Charlotte, my love… you know why. I love you. I love you with all my broken heart. I can never give you this curse. I can never take your gift of being mortal… of being human."
"I don't want… to be human," Charlie argued even in between her slow breathing "I don't want to be mortal, if it means I'll have to leave you alone… wandering around the world, always in search of me, again and again." She said, as she felt the person took one of her hand in its lips and kissed it ever so gently.
"My love, when you come back… you wouldn't know anything about this, about your past, our past."
"I would… I will. My heart will remind me, like it always does."
"Then, just let it remember how much I always love you."
With that, the figure leaned forward and pressed its soft lips against Charlie's. Charlie kissed back, giving in everything she has left in the kiss. Knowing it would take, maybe another forever to have experience and taste and feel the soft lips of her beloved, again.
When the figure reluctantly pulled back slowly, Charlie again in all her might, kept her blurry eyes opened. She kept her gazed at the brown eyes she always fell in love with. She marvelled at how beautiful they are even with the stain of tears and sadness and pain.
Charlies breathing went heavier and more shallow. The figure could hear Charlie's pulse go fainter by the second and her heartbeat go slower and slower. It held Charlie's hand tightly against it chest and the other one pressed against her lips. Using all its will power not to give in.
"I love you, Charlotte. I'll always love you and I will find you. We will see each other again in another lifetime. I promise."
"I… I love you with all my dying… breath. I love you… so much, Jo…" and with that Charlie involuntarily closed her eyes as life left her body.
Joanne closed her eyes and kissed Charlotte's forehead, with tears running down her cheeks uncontrollably.
"I'll be seeing you again, my love."
