Best I Ever Had
Tobias was flying in the bright blue sky of the beautiful summer morning. Thermals carried him a mile or more above everything, up into the bellies of the clouds.
Tobias realized with a jolt, looking at the bright blue sky, that it was the exact same color of Rachel's eyes.
That one awful realization brought his perfect morning to a halt, and he spiraled down to the ground, down into an abyss of grief.
He landed and morphed to human. As pained tears of grief filled his eyes, a faint memory of a song floated back to him. The tears spilled down his face, cold tears of grief that gave him goosebumps turning to scalding hot tears of rage. It was the same rage that consumed Rachel at the slightest wrongdoing, and now enveloped Tobias, and blinded him, and he shouted to the sky, so that maybe Rachel could hear, maybe she could understand.
"WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME? I LOVED YOU? WHAT GAVE YOU THE RIGHT? WHY DID YOU LEAVE? YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE, THE BEST, WHO CARED ABOUT ME! AND YOU LEFT! WHYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy........"
He trailed of into an inhuman moan of grief, fury, and anguish.
***************************************************************And from beyond it all, Rachel heard, and cried with him, cried for him...She didn't want to leave, she shouldn't have had to! She had gone along with it, and the whole world had been saved. The whole world except Tobias, the one who meant most to her.
