"I Will Follow You Into The Dark"

Nick's P.O.V.:

I was in my room. That's how these days were. Either waiting by Annie's bed side hoping for her to wake up or in my room….Annie's soul often came and comforted me at night. But I was slowly losing hope. I didn't say it out loud though. That would mean it was final – it was over.

However, I had to meet my mom at dinner.

"You are spending way too much time over that girl" my mother intervened.

"Please pass the potatoes" I replied.

"Honestly, Nick – she was a lost soul from the beginning." Mother continued, passing him the bowl.

"I would like the orange juice please."

"Nick, will it always be like this? Will you keep ignoring everything I say?"

"I have my reasons for wasting time over her" I answered "Mom, I'm in love with her."

My mother was shocked. She was angry and hurt.

"Nick, how could you?"

"She was a mess, mom" I continued "I didn't realize it….but so was I. she helped me find my soul."

My mom clapped a hand over her mouth. I could sense Annie's presence in the room.

'I am sorry….you had to see this'

'We all have parents, Nick. Parents care a lot about you.'

'I miss my dad'

'I miss my mom'

How could we be torn apart like this? We were meant for each other. How could we have remained invisible to each other for so long?

Love of mine some day you will die

But I'll be close behind

I'll follow you into the dark

'Let it go, Nick'

I went over to my mom. She was crying now.

"Mom, I am sorry. But she helped me….I guess it's my turn to help her back. Follow what she did and save her."

My mom continued her uncontrollable sobs.

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white

Just our hands clasped so tight

Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide

That they both are satisfied

Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you

When your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark

I was lying on bed….the bull's eye was over head. I picked up a dart and threw it above. I missed by inches.

'Nick, I can feel your touch'

"What do you mean?" I asked turning my head to where I knew Annie was lying beside me.

'When you were in the hospital and kissed me on my forehead…I felt that and your tear…it touched me. I could sense it.'

My face broke into a first real smile after days. My Annie was finally safe. She would come out of comatose any day now.

"Annie, you will be fine soon"

'Yeah'

You and me have seen everything to see

From Bangkok to Calgary

And the soles of your shoes are all worn down

The time for sleep is now

It's nothing to cry about

Cause we'll hold each other soon

The blackest of rooms

"You will be just fine, Annie" I whispered in to the darkness.

I could feel her, lying right next to me. So close…

"I promise you"
