"North just tell me."
My words seem far away from me, they fill the air with fear. I feel my knees become weak, they can no longer hold my body up.
"York, I know that Carolina is pregnant."
"What, How? Who told you?"
My voice becomes louder. I can't understand my thoughts anymore. Nothing feels right, nothing feels real.
"I heard you guys earlier today, when I came by to talk to Carolina about the get together."
North voice is soft and low, it's filled with worry.
"Fuck!"
Is the only word I can say. I take my right hand out of my pocket and make it into a closed fist. I hit the wall out of frustration, feeling my hand become numb. I push my face against the wall, not wanting to look at anything.
"That's not the only thing I need to tell you. I know what's happening to project freelancer. The AI's and the new soldier Tex, it's all real. The Director is planing on telling everyone tomorrow. Things are changing"
"North, slow down. The AI's that's all just a rumor."
North moves closer to me. He sighs deeply.
"I wish it was."
"What else do you know?"
I push myself away from the wall. I move my head up to make eye contact with North.
"That's all I know, honestly. I don't have an idea when the Director wants to give out these AI's."
My mind starts racing. I can see in Norths eyes that he's telling the truth. This was going to happen sooner or latter. I feel horrible that I fucked up Carolina's life. I feel horrible that I fucked up the life of my unborn child. I feel horrible, but would I have stopped myself form becoming closer to Carolina? No. As selfish as It all is, I would never not let myself love her. She is the only thing in this universe that keeps me sane and makes me feel like I'm human. I'm not a killer in her eyes, I'm York. Yeah sure we fell in love at a shitty time but, We can never pick when we fall for someone. I'm thankful every day that I fell so in love with her.
"You love her don't you."
North asked. His voice both soft and serious all at once.
"Yes, I do love her."
I move my head up and in the distance I see something. I can't make out who it is or what it is. My eyes close and the lights start flashing. I feel a sharp pain creep into my eye. I fall backwards, this can't happen, not now.
"Fuck, who was that? York, York, Stay with me."
I can't stay. I feel pain. I feel worry. I love her, I really do, I always have. I need to stay, I need her. I can't leave her I need to protect her.
"Call a Medic, hurry! I'm losing him!"
Blackness consumes me. All light is gone.
