Baby Join me in Death
Hilde was rushed into the surgery room where the operators did everything they could to fix the damage done to her body. But she had lost a lot of blood, and some of her major organs had been crushed. The doctors fixed her up as best as they could, but the damage had already been done.
We are so young
Our lives have just begun
Hilde groaned softly as her eye slowly began opening up. As she adjusted to her surroundings she heard a soft beeping noise to the right of her. Her entire body felt so battered that it hurt to breath; except for below her waist. There she felt nothing, just numbness. As here ears became more focused and she heard a familiar voice.
But already we are considering
Escape from this world
"Doctor… what are you telling me?" Demanded Duo
"Even if she lives, she will be completely paralyzed from the waist down. And that's not all, I'm sorry Mr. Maxwell but your wife was 3 months pregnant; the baby was crushed too."
She suddenly remembered why she was here. Her thoughts drifted back, she had found her husband cheating on him with his best friend.
And we've waited for so long
For this moment to come
A feeling of depression and anger formed in her stomach. She had been so loyal and faithful to him. And in return he gave her his unconditional love, or so she thought. It became painfully clear to her that despite all she had done, he felt nothing for her. When came into the house and saw them together she knew she was no longer a part of his life
Were so anxious to be together
Together in death
She saw the ring Duo himself had
placed on her finger; slowly she reached over and removed it. She held it over
her face and enclosed it in her hand. Tears streamed down her face as she
remembered the bond Duo and she shared. But that bond that had been broken, and
could never be repaired.
Won't you die tonight for love
(baby join me in death)
She remembered all the nights they stayed up late talking, laughing, holding each other in there arms. She remembered the day they had gotten married; and how she felt about it. The feeling of pure happiness and joy that burst from inside of her. She wanted that feeling to last forever, but it was just an illusion.
Won't you die
(baby join me in death)
Nothing mattered to her anymore. She didn't care for anything; not for Duo, not even her own life. He was every thing she had, everything she wanted in life. But since he did not want her, then her life didn't matter anymore. There was no point; it's not like he would care anyways. Hilde looked up as she saw Duo enter the room and sit next to her bed.
Won't you die tonight for love
(baby join me in death)
Hilde looked into his eyes but quickly turned away. Duo placed his hand over hers and rubbed it gently.
"Hilde… I just spoke to the doctor, and he said,"
Hilde moved his hand from his grip "Duo I heard what the doctors said. There's no use trying to water it down."
Duo looked down and placed a hand over his face
This world is a cruel place
And we're here only to lose
"Hilde I'm so sorry, I never meant to hurt you like this. I was just so confused I didn't know what I was doing. It's just that I thought that I might have made a mistake with my life, but I was wrong. I should've not have questioned myself"
"But why would you have to question the life we had. We had everything we always dreamed of, everything we asked for and more, but now…," She looked at her stomach "But now it's gone Duo everything is gone. You threw our love away like it was nothing."
So before life tears us apart let
Death bless me with you
Tears began to fall from his face
"Hilde don't say that… I still love you. What happened between me and Wu-Fei
was a mistake,"
"But that's the thing, how can I trust you not to make that mistake again? All it took was for Wu-Fei to say I love you, and you forgot all about me. I'm sorry Duo but I can no longer trust you."
Won't you die tonight for love
(baby join me in death)
Duo's mouth opened slightly "What are you saying?"
Hilde looked him straight in the eye "I don't want you in my life; I don't want to live anymore. Just leave and let me die in peace,"
Won't you die
(baby join me in death)
Duo's eye's opened wide "Hilde… don't do this. You're not going to die, I won't let you."
Hilde "You have no idea what this has done to me. Don't try and change my mind, just go,"
Duo gritted his teeth "I can't do that, I won't go."
Hilde's voice began to rise "Duo, Just leave me. I can't live like this. Please… I don't want to suffer anymore"
Won't you die tonight for love
(baby join me in death)
"NO, HILDE STOP THIS!" Yelled Duo
Hilde began to squirm in her bed "GET OUT OF HERE, GO!"
Duo just shook his head; Hilde used all of her strength and sat up. Despite the pain she looked him in the eye and gritted her teeth
"DUO JUST…"
Hilde suddenly became motionless. Duo watched as a small trail of blood came from her mouth. Her eyes glazed over; and she fell back onto the bed.
Join me in death
Duo's hands began to shake as he looked at her still body; his mouth hung open "No… Hilde…HILDEEE!"
The door burst open and the doctors rushed into the room. Duo still clung to Hilde's limp hand.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS, COME BACK! OH GOD, PLEASE COME BACK PLEASE!"
A couple of the doctors tried to pry Duo away from her; but he resisted them fiercely. Suddenly a doctor stuck a needle in his arm, and his vision began to fade.
"Hilde."
This life ain't worth living
1 month later
Duo slowly approached the tombstone, Hilde's ring in his hand. He placed the ring on her grave, stood up, and wept.
"Hilde, you didn't deserve this. You loved me with all your heart and I just threw it away. The life we had, the bond we shared, everything. Everyday I beg for your forgiveness, but in the end it is useless. How can I be forgiven, if I can't forgive myself?"
This life ain't worth living
(Join me join me join me)
Wu-Fei looked at Duo as he wept. He felt a small feeling of guilt about what had happened but he pushed it aside. With Hilde dead Duo was all his. It would take some time but eventually everything would work out.
Wu-Fei walked up to him "Hey Duo."
Duo didn't even turn around "Go away Wu-Fei, I don't want to talk to you right now,"
This life ain't worth living
(Join me join me join me)
Wu-Fei put a hand on his shoulder "Duo I just want to talk,"
Duo batted the hand away, turned around, and looked him in the eye "Do you have any idea what you've done to me. You ruined my life!"
Wu-Fei placed his hands on his hips "If I remember correctly, you were more than willing to leave that slut."
Duo snapped; he grabbed Wu-Fei by the shirt and threw him into the ground face first. He grabbed him by the hair and made him look at Hilde's grave.
THIS LIFE AIN'T WORTH LIVING
"LOOK AT HER YOU FUCKING BASTARD, LOOK AT HER! SHE WAS EVERYTHING TO ME, SHE WAS MY LIFE!"
He slammed Wu-Fei's face into the grass and stood up "But you could care less, you wanted her gone. Well congratulations, your wish has come true!"
Duo kicked him in the ribs hard "I don't want to see you again, ever!"
Duo walked off leaving Wu-Fei crying on the grass.
"Duo…"
Won't you die tonight for love
(baby join me in death)
Next Day
Duo Maxwell, words can not describe how truly sorry I am. Through my own selfish needs I killed the one person that made you who you were. Hilde made you the Duo Maxwell that I loved. When she was alive, you were always so bright and cheerful, always smiling, but now... Now when I look at you, all I see are consequences of my actions. I can't bear to look at you anymore, just saying your name hurts my heart.
Won't you die
(baby join me in death)
There is only one thing I can do to atone for what I've done. I hope that one day you can forgive me, goodbye Duo.
Wu-Fei put his pen down and read over the note. He placed the note down and ran a hand through his hair.
"Everything's in order."
He took one last look around the room and walked to the bathroom.
Won't you die tonight for love
(baby join me in death)
Duo walked up to Wu-Fei's door and knocked on it gently. He need to speak to
Wu-Fei, he needed to apologize. He waited but there was no answer. He saw the door was open a crack so he opened
it up. He peered inside and called out his name, but there was no answer. As he
looked around he noticed a letter on the desk. As he read it his hands began to
shake, just then he saw blood coming from the bathroom. Duo rushed into to see
Wu-Fei, lying in a pool of blood. His eyes were closed and he was motionless.
He saw a razor still in his hand, right above his slashed wrist. Duo dropped to
his knee's and cradled the limp body into his arms. Tears began to form as he gently
stroked his hair.
Baby join me in death
"Wu-Fei… oh god… no, you can't die…YOU CAN'T FUCKING DIE!"
Duo buried his face into Wu-Fei's shoulder and wept.
"NOW WHO DO I HAVE LEFT, HUH? YOU WERE MY LAST FRIEND, AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA DIE ON ME… WELL FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU WU-FEI, YOU QUITTER, THAT'S ALL YOU EVER WERE!"
Duo's breathing became heavy; he grabbed Wu-Fei's hair and held it tight. He softly began to stroke his face
"Wu-Fei… I'm sorry, I didn't mean it… you have to wake up, please wake up… please."
Duo continued to weep as he gently rocked the body back and forth.
