Hey readers. Yeah, it's been awhile. I started school and I hit a bit of a writer's block but I'm back! :)
This chapter is a filler, so sorry. :/
Sorry for the wait, but here it is.
Clare had run into me. If it had been anyone else, I would've gotten angry; but this was Clare. Her big blue eyes were brimming with tears, and she already had mascara streaks running down her face.
She was beautiful.
It confused me as to why she didn't get up immediately after falling. If this were any other time, I would have thought up a smart-ass comment like "Falling for me again, Edwards?" but as I opened my mouth to say it, her eyes shut and she fell back from her slightly upright position, back onto the sidewalk.
Was she hurt? Dead?
I felt conflicting emotions as I checked her pulse. Calm down Goldsworthy, she had only fainted. I slapped the small part of me that had almost hoped she was dead.
What now? I couldn't take her to the ER; but luckily, she didn't look hurt. So where?
Suddenly, it came to me. No one would move it. No one would be around it this time of day. I patted my pockets quickly, feeling the familiar bump of my key ring.
Funny how I never thought of what happened to Morty until now.
I picked Clare up and looked around me. Seeing no one looking, I willed us both unseen and walked until I saw a friendly-looking black gleam.
I chuckled aloud. Well, friendly-looking to me.
I was floating through darkness, when a song drifted through my ears. It was like a lullaby, but twisted. Sweet, yet bitter-sounding at the same time.
Listening carefully, I heard a vaguely familiar voice singing along softly.
This is what brought you, this you can keep.
This is what I brought you, may forget me.
I promise to depart, just promise one thing:
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
As the lyrics grew more hoarse, the voice beside me sang deeper, louder.
This is what brought you, this you can keep.
This is what I brought you, may forget me.
I promise you my heart, just promise to sing:
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
I opened my eyes, and watched Eli as he sang.
He looked so real. His brows were furrowed as he sang the heated lyrics. His hair was disheveled, his chain necklace that he always wore glittered in the sunlight. If this was a dream, it was missing one thing that would've made it perfect.
His eyes were closed. I reached out a hand to touch him, but stopped and thought better.
If this was a dream, I could do anything.
This is what I thought, I thought you need me.
This is what I thought, so think me naïve.
I promised you a heart you'd promised to keep.
Before he could utter the last repetitive phrase of the song, I captured his lips in my own.
I opened my eyes, seeing an electric frenzy of emotions running through those green eyes of his.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
So what do you think? Like I said, it's a filler chapter, be the next should be…interesting. I already have it planned out, but anyone have any suggestions?
The song in this chapter is Prelude 12/21 by AFI.
Thanks for reading, remember to R&R :)
