No P.O.V
Tori turns her head to look at the clock which read 3:56 am. She cant stop crying, its been hours and her eyes have grown puffy red and raw from continuously wiping the tears away. Though it's been days she still cries, this time letting the tears stream down her face and soaking her pillow. The only time the tears subside are when she manages to slip into a deep and exhausted sleep, even her mind is never at rest. When she does sleep her head is filled with thoughts of Jade. Whether good dreams or bad she awakes with tears falling. She either dreams or the horror she faced while Jade dies in her arms or she remembers them making love to one another until dawn in the a burst of passion and love. When she wakes from these dreams she cries for what could have been and what she misses and wishes for with all her heart. She cant take it anymore, it hurts to much.
Tori's P.O.V
I had the most wonderful dream, Jade and I where in the woods parallel to a meadow. We where playing hid and seek running through the trees and wild flowers trying our best to be the one who came out victorious. Just as I peek out of the brush I feel Jade tackle me to the ground, pressing her lips to mine in a kiss that was sweeter than honey. Her lips trailed down my jaw and up to my ear before she whispered "I win" with the most beautiful smile on her lips. The sun was high in the sky and the color of the tall grass and wild flowers where so vibrant and beautiful it was like something out of a movie. I look up at her and I was breathless. The light had hit her face perfectly and made her skin which was like snow shine, she was radiating beauty. Her raven hair contrasted perfectly and made her eyes pop, she was a goddess. I refocused my attention when I noticed her eyes close and when they open there filed with tears.
Before I could address it she spoke, "Tori I just want you to know that I love you so much, more than I could possibly imagine. I want you to know that you are my safe place. If home is where the heart is than Tori, you are my home because you are the sole owner of my heart." I couldn't stop the tears that fell, I held her in my arms and we cried together." You are my safe place to Jade and you have had my heart from the very beginning, I love you." I kissed her lips damp from tears long and hard to convey my point. Than that's when I woke up and the crushing pain and guilt returned. I buried my face in the damp pillow and let out a gut wrenching scream as I clawed at my sheets. I cant take this anymore! I cant live like this, in a world without Jade. That's just not living. I'd rather be dead with her than living without her. After all I did promise to follow her 's when I felt it, a touch lighter that a feather.
I feel it push my hair back and caress down my cheek. It was so soft and subtle that I almost missed it and if it hadn't been for me shutting out the world, covering my windows and locking my door I would have mistook it for a breeze. I sat up and just as my eyes focused I noticed what looked like a dark shadow disappear into the bathroom. My heart stopped in my chest than sped up so fast I could hear it. My dark angel, "Jade?" I spoke softly unsure if what I was experiencing where the delusions of a bad man or reality. The tears and painful feeling of helplessness had yet to subside and what was happening now wasn't helping.
I got up from the bed trying with no luck to stop the tears if only for a second. I walked into the dark bathroom and turn on the light to be met with complete solitude. The bathroom was empty, I don't know what I was expecting but not finding it really took its tole. I dropped to my knees and screamed at the top of my lungs in frustration and pain. It did nothing to alleviate some of the hurt that I was feeling. The scream was cut short followed by a chocked cry and forceful sobbing. "I AM DONE!" my mind screamed. I once thought that people who do what I am about to do where weak and unloved people but now I know that giving up doesn't mean your weak, it just means you are strong enough to let go. Jade tough me that the day she died and she has yet to steer me wrong. I turned on the hot water in the sink and watched it run while the steam fogs the mirror. I lean over it and breath in the warm moisture. I've always loved the look and feel of the hot steam radiating out of the bath when I was younger.
Opening the medicine cabinet I grabbed the bottle of sleeping pills my parents stupidly left in my possession. After Jades death I was so distraught that my mother had a hard time being in the same room as me. She hates seeing any of her children hurting so bad and I understood that. She would take the sleeping pills at night to help her sleep despite my loud cries. She even made me take them, though after the first night I started to hide them. I couldn't relive watching the love of my life die in my arms over and over again every time I closed my eyes.
Once I got the pills I made my way back to the room. I unlocked my bedroom door and made my way into the hall. I needed to make sure everyone was still asleep so that there would be no chance of me being bothered. I quietly make my way back to my room, closing the door behind me. I turned out the small light coming from the bedside lamp and uncovered my window to let the moonlight shown through. The rain had not stopped but it didn't matter, the moon was so full and bright I didn't even notice the rain. It was perfect, Jade and I always loved the night. Gazing up at the stars admiring the beautiful glow of the moon.
I laid down in bed and just peered out the window admiring the stars one last time. When I felt truly at peace I swallowed the entire contents of the bottle and dropped in to the ground, hearing it land and roll along the hard wood floor. A little while later and I feel like the stars are dancing around the moon. I feel the bed dip behind me and an arm wrap around my waist. Seconds later I am engulfed in the sent of mint and lavender. I don't have to turn around to know that its her, my dark angel. I look up at the moon one last time as my eyes slowly drift close. Its quick and painless. I never imagined that death would be so easy.
