"Don't do this to me! Please Ash, don't do this to me!"
He kept his back turned, voice grave. "I have to."
She fell to her knees, sobbing hysterically.
"Don't go! Don't go!" she pleaded.
His fists clenched, but all the same he left her there. The tears ran screaming down her grief stricken face. She stayed like that, frozen except for her spastic cries and jerking sobs. Hands clutching moist earth, she screamed in agony.
"You can't leave like this! Ash! Ash!"
She continued her horrified shouts throughout the night. Her haunting calls echoed in the forest around her, never quieting, never stopping, never getting any pity. Dawn arrived and still she wept and screamed her voice hoarse and scratchy, barely above a whisper. Shudders racked her body as she finally silenced her cacophony.
"My baby," she whispered. "My baby, my baby, my baby."
Eventually she collapsed, her strength ebbing out of her. As she laid there, blood plastered on her legs and salt burning her cheeks, she kept constant. Some say she continued, even after her heart had shattered. Rumors fly around, saying she still speaks, to this day.
"My baby, my baby, my baby."
A/N This was a total vent. Lately I've felt like such a failure. School sucks, I'm not improving in volleyball, and I feel like crap. I bottle up my emotions and now I'm going to burst. This piece was made to let off some steam, but I am a ticking time bomb. Whether it's tears or anger is the question. My friend's dad just died and I feel horrible because I don't know how to comfort her. I just met them 5 months ago and I don't know what to do. If you're reading this, can you please do me a favor and pray for him. Thanks.
I just want to thank my family for being there, even if I won't tell you what's up. Thank you to the Advancers, you've helped me take my mind off the stress. Thank you to my reviewers. Without you guys I would have given up posting a long time ago.
Sorry for the rant.
