Rewind
He grabbed my shoulders and made
me look into his eyes.
"Misty, look at me, and listen carefully."
We were both breathing heavily,
from running so fast.
"You have to go back. Don't ask how." He paused. "I made a lot of
mistake-"
I had to interrupt. "No Ash, WE."
"Alright, WE made a lot of mistakes. Starting around five years ago, when
we got in the middle of this mess. Sometimes lies feel better than the truth.
And that's what you have to do, you have to go back, and make sure we stay
ignorant. You'll remember everything that has happened, so you'll know exactly
how to fix it. You can live a peaceful future, and forget this time, which will
become only a memory."
It was all happening so fast, I didn't understand what he was getting at. "But-"
"No." He cradled my head in his hands. "You are going back. And you're going to overwrite this awful future. Just promise me one thing, don't forget this me, and the few things we did together." He looked on the verge of tears, and I felt I should be, but I was almost too sad to cry. He turned to leave, but then came back.
"There's one mistake I made,
that I'd never want to erase."
Very quickly, I was in his arms, and his lips were firmly pressed to mine. It
had started a very sudden, and very full kiss. And it only continued to become
more so as I felt his tongue enter my mouth. I then realized exactly what I was
doing, I had my arms around his neck, and one hand was drifting up into his
black hair. My lips were moving just as frantically around his, filled with the
equal passion, and hope, that just maybe our earthly problems could be forgotten
and we could continue as people were meant to live. His arms pulled me closer,
melding my body into his. I tried to hold on as he pulled his lips off mine, but
he still held me fast against him, and I didn't want him to let go.
"I fell in love with you."
I just held onto him tighter, he
knew my reply, he knew I felt the same way. And we both knew there was nothing
ahead for us. He looked into my eyes, caring.
"Turn around, and close your eyes. Please do not look back. Just remember
me, this me."
He released me, and I was instantly void of his warmth. But I obeyed, turning
around, and slowly closing my eyes.
There was a beeping noise, the
door opened.
One shot.
One gasp.
One thud.
I knew what had happened, and even though I couldn't see, I could still picture it. His lifeless form lying there, his lips that were just seconds ago on top of mine, dripping with blood. I felt so angry, I was so sad that it made it impossible for me to cry, I couldn't cry, I couldn't cry for him. As I opened my eyes, I felt a single tear escape, I watched it drop onto the floor.
It was the last thing I saw.
