Behind red tinted cellophane19
Reject opened her eyes and the morning sun nearly blinded her. She sat up in bed stretching out her arms and cracking her aching back. The events from last night had left her rather sore and she was so tired she was half tempted to lie back down and go back to sleep but now was not the time for that.
Right now she wanted to why Beyond was acting so strangely. She turned to find that he no longer in bed with her so she got up, brushed herself off and went off in search of her jam loving friend.
She didn't have to look far as she turned into the kitchen and found him sitting at counter with a cup of steaming hot coffee and a sad look on his face. Reject slowing came from behind him and wrapped her arms around his torso and rested her head on his shoulder.
"What's going on B? You've acting strange these last past few hour" Reject asked with her arms still wrapped around him. At first B didn't say anything, instead he turned in Reject's arms to face her while still keeping his eyes focused on the floor.
"Beyond…please tell me what's wrong"
"NOTHING IS WRONG!! And even if there was I don't have to tell you a damn thing Reject!" B growled as he shoved Reject out of the way and walked out of the room. Reject stood there for about half a minute before following after him.
She found him back in the bedroom sitting on the bed with his back turned. Reject came and sat down next to him and he shuffled away slightly facing away from her.
"B please…this is killing me…You need to tell me what's hurting you…'cause it's hurting me" Reject said placing a hand on B's shoulder which (as usual) turned out to be a bad idea when B suddenly lashed out and grabbed both her wrists and held them above her head.
Reject struggled violently but Beyond was still far too strong and her own strength was beaten out as she fell limp underneath him. Now normally this would be the time when Reject would squeeze her eyes shut and brace herself for a severe beating, but this time was deferent.
She stared B down without blinking and she didn't even so much as a flinch when Beyond brought his fist back and send it flying back into her face. She didn't move an inch but she was quite surprised when his fist stopped at a centimeter from her face.
Reject looked up at B, he still looked mad but she could also see a hint of shock in his expression and she shuttered slightly when B brought his lips close to her ear.
"Reject…I don't want you to get hurt…but I especially don't want you to get in trouble for this seeing as how you had no part in this" whispered softly with one hand gently cupping her jaw while the other hand still gripped tightly to her wrists.
"B…what are you talking about?" Reject asked in a somewhat worried tone.
"…After today…You will never see me again…"
Those words and those words alone would become the most painful thing she will ever come to experience and at this point she could not hide the tears that trailed down her pale checks.
"W-wha?...N-no you can't…No! You can't leave me B…Not like this" Reject choked out trying everything in her power not to believe him but in the end she knew it was the truth and she couldn't hide from that.
"Reject…there is no other option…it would kill me if something happened to you" Beyond replied wiping the tears off Reject's with his sleeve before placing a soft kiss on her swollen cheek.
"But why?...Why do you have to leave? What's going on?"
"…"
"B please tell me"
"…There is a 95% chance…that I will be killed…"
Once again Reject felt like she had been hit with a transport truck, and there was no going back.
"…No…No…NO!!! I won't let you!!!" Reject hollered kicking and thrashing about but B's grip only tightened more each time she struggled.
"Reject there's no other choice...please, don't make this any harder then it needs to be" Beyond said softly tilting the young girls teary eyed face. He pulled away leaving Reject leaned up against the headboard.
"I need to leave or I am going to be late…this is the last time your going to see me so don't bother waiting for me-" B would have been able to finish if it weren't for Reject reaching out grabbing his arm.
"You can't leave, I won't let you" Reject said gripping desperately on to B's arm to keep him from taking another step. B just let out a heavy sigh and sat back down next to her and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Reject…You know there two people in this world who I love, and that is both you and L…but the difference between you two is with L I love him enough to want to kill him were as with you, I love you enough to let you go" B moved one of his hands up to caress Reject's cheek which was still dampened with tears.
"Don't you understand Reject…I want you to live" Beyond whispered before pressing his lips to hers one final time. He broke away and stood up from the bed began to walk away.
"Goodbye my love…We might meet again in the next life…But not again in this one" and then he was gone not another word and not another sound, just gone.
Reject went to follow after him only to discover that she couldn't go very far. B had managed to handcuff Reject to the bed without her noticing.
"Beyond Birthday you bastard!!" Reject yelled trying to yank herself free from the handcuffs but alas it proved to no avail.
The tears were streaming as her heart sank lower as the grim inevitability sat in…
…She was now alone.
