-Chapter 10: My Last Breath-
(Gordo's POV)
I was outside the Digital Bean, 8:00pm. The sun had already gone down. The Digital Bean would be opened for another hour though. Now I had to go meet Lizzie. Then it happened. I hear an ear shattering sound. The sound of a gun go off. I rushed into the Digital Bean, only to see a robber run out behind me. The place was empty, aside from a dead waitress behind the counter and a fallen body holding the phone. My worst fear had been conformed. (Lizzie's POV)
Hold on to me love You know I can't stay long All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms?
Gordo ran over to me. "I called 911," I said proudly. "Lizzie! You're shot!" he said sounding panicked. "Well that would explain why I'm in so much pain. You know, now that it's happening, I'm dying I mean, I'm not afraid anymore," I said. He looked at me as if I wasn't making any sense and then he just held me.
Holding my last breath Safe inside myself Are all my thoughts of you Sweet raptured light It ends here tonight
"Lizzie, you aren't making any sense," Gordo told me. I weakly put my head on his chest. "What I'm saying is that I'm not afraid to die," I explained. "You're not going to die," Gordo lied. I shook my head sightly. "It ends here tonight," I told him. I looked outside the window. It was December. And for the first time in Hillridge, California, it was white outside. "Snow," I said.
I'll miss the winter A world of fragile things Look for me in the white forest Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
Sirens sounded about three blocks away. "They're coming, you wont die," Gordo said. He was crying. In the sixteen years I've known Gordo, I've never seen him cry. I didn't this time either. I heard it. "I love you," I whispered. "I love you too."
Holding my last breath Safe inside myself Are all my thoughts of you Sweet raptured light It ends here tonight
I began to close my eyes. I was tired of holding on. I was ready to go. But, I didn't want to leave him. If I did, I could see Miranda again, but if I did, I wouldn't be with Gordo any longer. I knew I was going to die, I knew I didn't have a choice. But I was more upset than scared. Sixteen years, it isn't long enough.
Closing my eyes to disappear You pray your dreams will leave you here But still you wake and know the truth No one's there
"Gordo? I've got to go now," I told him, no longer able to hang on. "No, you can't. I can't lose you too," he said. A tear fell from my eyes as I released it.
Say goodnight Don't be afraid Calling me calling you as you fade to black
My last breath.
