Never leave me

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She could still hear him screaming in her head.

She could still feel the pain burning through his whole body and tearing through her heart.

She loved him and it was killing her.

She closed her eyes and replayed the scene in her head again.

They were fighting for their lives but they were also winning. Shalimar was kicking a guy twice her size in the face. His nose was already broken and his eyes were glazing over.

Brennan was throwing bolts of electricity at two of the biggest guys and was looking like he was enjoying himself.

She was throwing out psy-blasts as fast as she could manage but they were outnumbered 3-1. That was why she hadn't warned him in time, why she'd let it happen.

One of the guys had tried to throw a punch at Jesse but he phased and the guy fell right through him. Then one of the others came at him so he massed out. But he had to breathe and his attackers knew it.

If only she'd seen them throwing the bricks and rocks and anything they could find at him. If only she'd seen them moving closer to him. If she'd seen the one with the gun taking aim at him. But she hadn't realised what was happening until she heard the shot, felt his pain course through her.

By the time they got to him he was already bleeding and screaming. He couldn't stop screaming. They'd gotten him back to sanctuary in minutes but it had felt to her like hours. Adam had done his best but she could already feel him slipping away form her.

She sat with him never moving, not taking her eyes off him for a second. She knew she needed to sleep but she couldn't leave him, not now. She knew the others were still there watching like her. She looked at him, her love. He looked like he was asleep. She leaned in closer to him and whispered in his ear, hoping he could still hear her "don't leave me Jesse, I need you, I love you, I'm so lost without you. Please stay with me, never leave me." She cried harder than she'd ever cried in her life.

Adam silently put his arm around her as Brennan and Shalimar, her brother and sister held her hands. They stood there together, all of them watching as their son, brother and lover slipped quietly slipped away from them as the sound of Emma's heart breaking filled the air.
