A/N: Hey guys, if your reading this you have obviously found the sequel to 'Promise You Can't Keep'. Congrats. I am very sorry that it took this long to update but seeing as I was in Europe and had no computer, updating was near impossible.
I want to thank you all for reading. A big Thank you to my beta amsrule for…well for beta-ing and being wonderful and such.
Hope you enjoy this story.
Prologue: The End
My bloodied feet tore down the ally. The rain, hammering my back, soaked through my lightweight t-shirt and frayed jeans. I was soaked and freezing, but I pumped my legs harder- feeling the strain of my muscles. Suddenly I pitched forward, tripped by a broken bottle. I felt a searing pain in my calf. I looked down to see that a piece of the glass bottle had embedded itself into my skin. Despite the pain, I removed it with a swift tug and continued on my way. The puddle of blood and rainwater rippled each time a raindrop plunged into it.
I kept on running, I had to. This is It, I thought. Now there's no going back. The time ticked away; each raindrop that fell reminded me of each second being wasted. My lungs pumped faster as I pushed harder- barely keeping up with the load my body was giving it. My pulse was pounding in my ears. It's too late— No! It can't be! I have to make It! This cannot be the end!
Streets, lights, buildings, homes- none of them mattered as I raced by. Only one thing, just one thing mattered. Everything else was pointless, meaningless. It meant nothing to me. What a shock it is for me to be thinking this, I mean, I realize the implications of these statements, but it didn't matter anymore. Like I said, nothing mattered, nothing besides this.
His smile was breathtaking; I couldn't resist… I returned the grin. Although, in the moment we held eye contact, I thought I saw traces of pain, deception, and lies. He bent his head and when his eyes met mine again, all traces of anything but the utmost contention had disappeared. Was I imagining this or was there something truly wrong?
------------------------------- -----------------------------
Cracks of light come from inside the bathroom. I hear him speaking quietly inside, judging by the lack of input from the other party, I guess he is speaking on the phone. But whom was he calling in the middle of the night in a hushed voice? I tried to listen to his words but he spoke too softly. Was he trying to keep something from me? Or was he trying not to disturb me? What was he hiding?
All this time I was oblivious, ignorant even, to what was happening right under my nose. And now he had to pay. Because of me, he would pay. The tears streaked my face, mixing with the rainwater and the blood.
Suddenly the ally ended, leaving me in the middle of a deserted square. The darkness was reaching for me, engulfing me. I had to keep moving. The rain came in heavy sheets; dark clouds swirled ominously, predicting imminent failure.
Faster, faster! I tried, you know, I really did. I was blinded, I couldn't realize the obvious, that was my first mistake. But now that its come to this, I see what's been happening all along. I doubt I could have fixed this no matter how hard I tried. But I did, I pushed, in the end I guess it wont even matter, but this is the end.
As I approached the next square, I saw him turn. Even from this distance I saw his eyes make contact with mine. All this pain… but for what?
As he turned away, walking into the darkness, I felt a stab at my heart and then iced over, surely I couldn't survive this. After all of this, I still never thought it would end this way, but it is and it did. It's the end.
Goodbye.
A/N: I do apologize for the shortness of this prologue but it was necessary. This is as much as you can know for the moment. The POVs for the story will be a tad bit complicated. It will be in 'one' persons point of view but there will be other things going on that are too confusing to explain at the moment so you'll just have to wait and see and I'm just going to shut up now. Pant pant That was one looooong run on sentence. Well, I certainly do hope you won't be too mad at me for taking this long to update and I hope you like the story.
Reviews are welcomed, as are critiques. Thank you.
Au Revoir.
B/N I tried my best to make this chapter sound perfect as I will with the rest of the story but if you do find any mistakes, plz feel free to point them out! Thanks and Review!
