I was sitting on the top of the roof, staring at the sky. Is that where Lawrence is? Heaven? I smiled inwardly to myself. Yes, that's right. He would be in the soft clouds of heaven, while I'll be swimming in blood in hell. Yes, that seems fitting enough.
There were a couple of nurses looking at me. I smiled at them politely, but didn't talk. No, never talk. I can't break the silence within my own mind. The tranquility. It was nice.
"Adrian."
My eyes snapped upward.
"Lawrence…"
He was smiling at me, holding many balloons behind his back. He brought out his hand, offering it to me. I took it without a thought and hugged him forcefully. He smiled and hugged me back. I could no longer feel the ground beneath my feet, nor do I care. Lawrence was with me, here and now.
"Thank you for freeing me, Adrian," he said to me. "I love you."
"I love you so much," I replied. True, I may be going to hell. I could even bring myself to care. Lawrence was with me. Here. Right now. The earth could fall apart, the sky could shatter and crash to the ground, I wouldn't give a damn.
"You belong only to me, do you understand?"
The joy on Lawrence's face was enormous. He was so happy when I said that. He nodded and kissed me on the lips. I was in heaven right there.
But… something was nagging my mind.
"Lawrence," I murmured, not daring to loosen my grasp. He smiled up at me. Those eyes that could stare into my soul, seeing my weaknesses and thoughts, they were looking at me. Instead of being anxious from seeing them, I was comforted. It was so familiar and I would welcome those eyes any day at any time.
"Yes?" he asked me in that angelic voice of his. I swallowed nervously.
"I'm sorry I killed you," I practically whispered. Tears that threatened to spill from my eyes fell, making my sight blurry. Lawrence grasped me even tighter.
"I told you Adrian, I forgive you. It's time to forgive yourself," he told me. I smiled. Through my haze, I felt free. There was no pain, nothing. Only the one I loved.
Now I'll be able to stay with Lawrence forever.
