Choices

".......This just came to me. I really, really am liking writing stories in this format. I know some of my readers, but the other half is OK with it :) Pleaz R&R!"

20 Minutes Left....

The world spins; you can't concentrate. The sound's distorted to the point where their whispers sound like screams- piercing and tearing at your ears.

15 Minutes Left....

You're on the ground by this point. Nothing's making sense. Shadows in black and white come crowding around you, shaking you......

10 Minutes Left.....

By this point you're beyond terrified. You can't see, hear, think. Your senses have been completely numbed.

5 Minutes Left...

Something's keeping you alive. You don't know what. You can feel a warm hand in your own; a matching hand running through your hair. You wonder who it is touching you, or if it's even real.

2 Minutes Left.....

It's taken you this long to realize what's happening. You're dying- shot in the head, you believe. That phantom hand belongs to your best friend. He's always been there for you.

1 Minute Left....

You're cold, but that's okay. He hasn't left your side. No, not yet....You know that it's only a matter of seconds before your last. You can feel it in your soul.

60 Seconds Left....

He holds you close, still playing with your hair. You let him......as if you had a choice.

30 Seconds Left....

You realize that if you could pick the way you'd die, this would be the way- with him close by.....

20 Seconds....

You can feel his tears as they fall on your hair,but you know that you can't stop them.

15 Seconds Left...

It takes everything you've got to utter those last three words, but you manage despite it all.

"I love you...."

10 Seconds...

He says something along the lines of 'I love you too' or maybe even 'I know', but you can't make out the words being spoken.

5 Seconds...

You know what's going to happen next. You understand it, and you've accepted it. So you think of the choices you've made....

4 Seconds....

Joining the BAU....All the danger you've been in....

3 Seconds...

The relationships you've created.....Friends and family....

2 Seconds...

Derek Morgan....The way he stole your heart...

1 Second...

The way he'll always miss you......The way he'll always love you...

0 Seconds...

Your heart stops. You aren't breathing. Your body dies out....Everything turns black....

He thinks about the choices you've made:

Taking that shot for him....

Loving him....

Accepting him....

Holding him....

He'll never stop thinking about you.

No, never.

Everything has stopped so suddenly for him.

There's a moment of peace when everything makes sense- everything is good again.

Then everything that's just happened hits you- hits you hard.

That peace doesn't last long. And when it's gone...

It never comes back.

"......aw.....TEARS! Hehehe....Pleaz R&R!"
