Chapter 6
I heard the door open and as I saw Christian I lunged for him. But I should have none better.
I heard the pop and I felt an impact on my stomach but kept going.
"Christian…" I whispered as I grabbed my stomach.
"NOOOOO!" He cried as I tried to catch my breath.
The man looked at me and realized what he'd done. In fear he went to run but was slammed against the door.
I watched Christian pick up the gun and fire many times. Whether they were aimless shots or not they ended up in one spot… the man was dead.
Christian turned back toward me and I tried to smile. What had I done? My life was ending and I had done nothing but toy with his emotions…
"Christian…" I mumbled again.
I almost collapsed when he caught me in time.
*Prying her hand from her stomach I saw the bloody mess. I'd come to late. If only I had stayed or moved faster.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She tried to whisper. I held her closer and closer.
"Shh… no." I said. She began violently coughing. Blood dribbled from her lip. Why did this feel so familiar?
Suddenly a flash back of the night of Spectacular, Spectacular crossed my mind.
"I'm sorry Christian… I… I'm… I'm dying."
But more coughing pulled me out of my trance.
"Christian I'm sorry… I'm not going to make it." She whispered with all her strength. I held her closer.
"I'm cold Christian… So cold…" She cried through tears.
I held her closer.
"I love you." I whispered to her. And I did whether she did or not…
"Chr-Ch-Christian I lo…" But I couldn't stand to see her in pain as she gasped for more air. Nuzzling her face I leaned down and kissed her. If she was going to leave me too then that was the most she could give to make me happy… a kiss. I gave her a little smile as she tried to return it.
"I can't go on with out you."
"Yes you can Christian… you must… must try… for me…" I cried harder at her words.
"Promise me… promise me Christian."
"I promise." Kissing her again I practically felt the life in her leave.
"I love you." She whimpered. I heard it but didn't care for what she saved me from. A life was not a life without her init.
"I love you." She whispered again… taking a few gasping breaths I softly kissed her one last time and…
I let it all out as she lay limp in my arms. What was I to do now?
"No… no… Don't leave… please?" Was all I could cry. Couldn't God see this? Didn't he know she didn't deserve this?
"There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way."
I whispered as everything went white around us both.
