At Least

A ray of light shone through the crack in the curtain from the moon outside. That was the only light in the room. The rest was in total darkness. In the background REM, Everybody Hurts was playing. Mascara stained her pillow where she had been crying into it a couple of hours ago. A few hours ago her best friend had left, forever. He'd gone to a better place though. Just like her mother had.
If only the three of them hadn't got into an argument. About the never ending love triangle they had got themselves into. It hurt him, the fact that she could not let go of the best friend they shared. It would always come between them, never leaving their thoughts. He wouldn't have gone walking off like that if there wasn't an argument. The screeching of the car brakes still filled her head as she lay there. The two of them had ran round the corner onve they'd heard the car and found him lying there in front of a car, not moving. A crowd had gathered around him. She had pushed her way through and knelt down beside him. Blood flowed from a cut on his head and he was hardly breathing. She had grabbed his hand tightly.
"Hold on!" she told him between sobs as the tears flowed down her cheeks like the blood did down his face.
"I love you Josephine Lillian Potter." He said breathlessly.
It had made her cry harder. It was like he knew he didn't have long left.
"I love you Pacey J Witter."
With what was left of his strength he tighten his grip on her hand.
She didn't leave his side until the nurses at the hospital made her. They'd let her spend half an hour saying goodbye to him alone. Eventually they had to drag her away. Dawson had come with her. He hadn't cried though, for the last few months he had hated Pacey, so felt nothing. He drove her home where she ran off after getting out the car. Straight to her bedroom. There she switched on her CD player and cried into her pillow for two whole hours. Her one true love, her best friend had died in her arms. At least he died knowing she loved him. And she knew she would never love anyone like she loved him.

The End
