I wrote this for Creative Writing class. The teacher told us to take a scene from our favorite TV show or movie and write it in a different POV. So I chose the moment from Torchwood: Children of Earth, when –holds back a sob- Ianto is dying. It's a little altered, but I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: Is Ianto still alive? No? Then, that means I don't own Torchwood!
Coffee Boy
Bang!
I can hear Jack firing
at the glass cage that held
the alien
I can't breathe, it's too much
Jack?
I can't even speak
What did this alien do?
It's dark, I can faintly hear
Jack talking to me
Is he crying?
I feel pressure on my lips
The darkness now clings to me
Is this death?
No! I can't die! I need to be
with Jack!
He became like a light to me
Considering how dark my life was
I see light
But I don't see Jack
So this is Death
I know Jack can't go with me
He can't die
I know as the centuries go by
He'll forget about me
I'll watch over him
Be that silent silhouette
In the corner
The light is getting bigger
I can't hear Jack anymore
I really didn't want to die
I wanted to stay with him
Oh well
Jack, just don't forget me
Though I know you will
Just remember
I'll always be your coffee boy
