Jodie spent three happy with Kevin in his mansion. It also gave her a great chance to think. In two days she had befriended him; it was an unnaturally quick relationship. She wondered how this came about so quickly and her only answers were perhaps chemistry, or that she felt bad for him. But not anymore, she loved him. At first maybe she came back because she felt bad for him. Or maybe it was something else?

Now that she thought about it, he reminded her or, herself. Alone for so long, and not seeming to care about it, only realizing that they were lonely until they knew what it was like to be wanted. Even though he appeared strong, at first he was shut away, maybe even timid. Jodie wasn't shut away, at least now she wasn't. She guessed she had been shut away, not feeling the right to express herself, and Kevin had just never had any feelings at all. But on the inside, he was strong, and he looked like it too. But after all of his life being locked up, alone, he hadn't gone mad or anything. Even though he was shut off from all outside life, he seemed aware of every thing around him.

And he noticed that Jodie was sick. The night in the rain had done its damage. She knew she was sick, and was hoping that she'd get over it without Kevin noticing. But she got a fever and was shivering constantly. Kevin pretended not to notice when she said all she wanted to do was sit for a moment, and she'd end up falling into a restless sleep. All of the color drained from her, she was almost so pale that Kevin seemed florid. Even her colorful, bubbly personality began to seep away from her in dizzy strokes. She became worried about how long it would take to feel better, but after every restless nap, she felt worse. Kevin was her only hope, and she had promised him she'd never leave him.

Finally Kevin couldn't see her suffer anymore and he decided to confront her about it. He knew that she needed to go back so she could get well. In fact, he knew a lot. He even knew how to read. When he first met Jodie, he didn't want her to go, and he sensed her strong sympathetic nature. He told her he didn't know how to read so she'd come back at least one more time. No he had here, all he now knew he wanted, but he also didn't want to see her suffer. Earlier that day he hugged her and she was limp in his arms. Inside, it was tearing him up, he didn't want her to go, but he didn't want her to go either. Either way there was no good outcome so he chose what was good for her.

"Jodie," he began as he approached the limp girl leaning in a window seal gazing out with a glazed look. She slowly turned her head to look at him, trying her hardest to look pleasant.

"I think you should go," he stated taking a shot in the dark as he approached her to bring her to standing. She tried to seem like she didn't need any support but he held her knowing that she did.

"Wha- what are you talking about Kevin?" she said slowly, bloodshot eyes looking up at him. "I'm fine if that's what you are wondering." She said dropping her head limply.

"Don't lie to me." Kevin said, a very definite tone in his voice. Jodie go the idea.

"But I promised...." She said slowly still "I promised...." She said, fighting to keep her eyes open.

"And I promised to never hurt you," he said more lightly "You staying with me will hurt you." He stated bravely.

"I cant, I'm not leaving you here....no" she said mustering all the strength that she could.

"I promised!" she said again, more defiantly.

"And so did I!" Kevin yelled harshly, to get his point that he wanted her out he lifted a bladed hand. His eyes flashed dangerously. "We don't want to break to promises tonight do we?!" he yelled.

Jodie looked up into his eyes and knew he was serious. Tears brimmed in her eyes and her lip trembled. Rather than running away she ran up to the towering Kevin, still holding up his treating blades, and she wrapped him in the tightest hug she could and then staggered away out the door using all of her energy. Kevin knew he'd never see her again.

Jodie fell down the mountain and collapsed by the time she made it to the first house. The next morning the owner found her and checked her into the local hospital. She was treated free of charge because the person who found her was a firefighter. She remained in critical condition for two weeks. She lobbed into consciousness after to two long weeks and over heard that she was on her death bed. Not knowing what to do, she stole some random drugs from the hospital, took them, and broke out the hospital at midnight the next night. Later that night a break in was reported at the house of a missing girl where no hope of return was expected. Only a dress was reported taken.

Kevin knew he was sick too. He had never been sick before, and he then knew what Jodie must have felt. Dried out and woozy he stumbled his way around the mansion for what he was afraid was the last time. He had been depressed for two weeks after Jodie's depart and it didn't help at all with the sickness he battled. For the first time, he feared. He didn't know what was going to happen to him. He barely lived but his life hadn't been shining, and he didn't know what better could be done for him in his life and he gave up. He knew he was going to end that night. Daybreak was arriving fast, as well was the energy was fast seeping away from him. He collapsed on the stairs feeling the icy breath of what he didn't know and thought his mind was play games when an angel dressed in white approached him weakly too.

It was Jodie. She knelt beside him, almost weak as he and he recognized her.

"You came back...." He said quietly and slowly. She nodded, shaking. She was his angel, and she had fought herself to come back to him one last time.

"Yes." She said quietly and comfortingly. They both knew what fate awaited them. Suddenly even each other's blood shot eyes were beautiful.

I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone...

"I love you." He confessed weakly.

But though you're still with me, I've been alone...

Jodie's golden head dropped, and she collapsed on top of his chest as he was laid out on the stair case.

I'm alone!!!!

Then Kevin knew sorrow, he understood her feelings and he wrapped his arms around her as she passed on.

You cried I'd; wipe away all your tears...

Chin resting on her head he blinked the tears out of his eyes.

You scream I'd fight away all of you fears.

He felt fear and held on tight.

I hole your hand through all of these years...

He fought to keep his eyes from closing.

But you still have... all me

His eyes dropped and he flicked them back open hopefully, all me, His head felt heavy and he jerked it back up, me oh, he gave and let his eyes close...
