Why?

Summary: Some wounds are too deep for time to heal. Some memories are too bitter to think of. Some things are too painful to be ignored…

And sometimes, you just can't forget…

Disclaimer: I…don't…own…this. Except the plot. THERE! ARE YOU HAPPY! YOU'RE NOT? WELL, I DON'T CARE!

AN: This can be about ANYONE you want. This is why I did not specify WHAT I do not own in the disclaimer. Yes, it's in Tamora Pierce because in my mind, the two people here come from her world, but it could fit ANYONE at all…any couple, anyway. This is someone's last thoughts before she dies, and someone else's thoughts when he hears that she is dying. A story by KD.

Bla bla bla : one is thinking

Bla bla bla: both are thinking

Bla bla bla: flashback

"Bla bla bla" : talking

Ok, let's start!

"Why?"

she asked. "I don't…understand…"

"I told you, it's better this way."

"Do you have to leave?"

"I don't want to bring you down with me."

"But it wouldn't matter…I don't care."

"Well, I do. I won't let you get hurt because of me. "

The door closed. She stood alone, completely stunned

She was brought back to the present by a bang. She sighed. Another day had begun, and she wasn't ready to keep up with it. Of course not. She wasn't supposed to know, but she had heard them.

She was dying.

Oddly enough, she didn't care.

Every night now, she remembered him…and the night he'd left.

He said he didn't want me to get hurt…but he hurt me more than anything else could…

I wish he were here now…I could show him what he's done to me…

Why did you have to go?...

Change POV

He could not believe what he was hearing.

No. She can't be…

She can't die…

Not without me saying goodbye…

What happened?

Why did it have to change?

"Tell me you're kidding."

"I could…but then I'd be lying."

"Could I get to her in time?"

"No."

Change POV

It's not right.

What happened?

Why?

Why?

Why…

Change POV

As she slipped into oblivion for the last time, her only thoughts were of him.

He couldn't even come to say goodbye…

Why?

END

AN: Bleh. Terrible. I hate this. Don't ask stuff like "Is this and (insert names in blanks)?" I already said, this is whoever you want it to be. Review if you want, but I won't be surprised if it's only flames. Also, this is disgustingly short, for all it's four pages on my Microsoft Word.
