Thoughts: The Price of Nobility

Chapter 2: Kim's Thoughts

It happened again, I watched my best friend die in front of me. I thought that after Bobby died, I would never have to experience anything like that again, but I did, didn't I? When I heard the explosion, I thought oh no, please don't let anything happen to Alex, she has been through so much already, but you didn't listen to me, did you? No! When I looked at her, and saw how bad she was, I tried to not cried, as I didn't want to scare her, but she knew what was happening. She was so brave, she wasn't even crying, even though she knew it was bad. Why are you doing this to me, God? How can you? You took Bobby away from me and now Alex! I don't know what I did, but I am sorry! I am so sorry! Please just bring them back to me.

I froze when I saw her. The way her body was laying and her pale face, I knew it was bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to move, I didn't even say anything to Alex, I just looked at her and started to cry. I don't think I can take anymore of this, I pray to God the Lieu is ok, he has to be, we already lost one person today, we can't lose another one. Jimmy isn't even here, I want him to be here, and I need him to be here. How I am going to tell him about Alex's death?

I feel Mrs. Taylor's hand squeeze mine tighter and I pull her into a hug, so she can cry on my shoulder. We cry on each other. I can't even close my eyes anymore! It's either Bobby with blood flowing from his chest or Alex, with her mangled body lying in front of me with her pleading eyes! I can't take this anymore! Please, God, don't take anyone else from me. I looked at Mrs. Taylor, she just lost her husband and now her daughter! I hug Mrs. Taylor tighter and I finally let all of my emotions out with her. She is crying just about as hard as I am.

We both can't bring ourselves to go see Alex. We will when we are ready.

To be continued..... More to come! Please review!!
