Feelings
I always laughed when he said it. Always smiled when he was by my side. Kevin and I. Shion and Kevin. The couple everyone talked about. Its been a month now, after the Banquet, after he had proposed. I remember seeing him. My eyes glowed with happiness. "Shion, will you marry me?" he asked. I almost cried.
" Yes," I remember telling him. " Yes, I'll marry you." Hugs and kisses came after that. Miyuki laughed and Togeshi smiled, happy of the news that I would marry Kevin.
" All right, Chief!" Miyuki cheered. " Congratulations!"
" Thanks, Miyuki." I looked down at my hand, at the new ring that decorated it. Nothing could go wrong now.
It all came so fast. The screaming, the gunshots, then…. I was in shock when the android jumped at us. I was behind Kevin, then again the gunshots. Kevin lay unmoving at my feet. I could hardly remember what had happened. The android lay destroyed near Kevin. I hugged Kevin, begging him to wake up. It was not until someone else pulled me away, that I saw the cruel reality. Kevin, my love, was dead. A young man with short light brown hair got me out of the room holding me tightly as I cried.
The funeral went on. I still couldn't hold back my tears. The shooting, the screaming, Kevin, and that man that had helped me.
I cried on Kevin's grave as a friend of mine, Allen Ridgley, watched, eyes sad as mine. " Mind if I take you home?" he asked me. I couldn't answer him. " Chief?" I cried loudly for a last time, got up, with Allen's help and walked away from Kevin's grave.
"Kevin…" I whispered and looked back at his grave. I could still remember his sweet words. Shion will you marry me?
