SONG OF THE MOMENT - PIECES BY RED
[Flashback]
They first met when they were five...
everything then seemed so peaceful, and everyone was so kind, no one was left out of life, and no one was hurt.
Except for one day.
They stood in front of the grave, locked hand in hand, the body had just been buried six feet under, and it seemed like all hope was lost.
One of their classmates, Erin Yeager, had died that fateful afternoon, somebody had picked her up in a van, and took her from them, their best friend.
Sam closed her sky blue eyes, and titled her head up, letting the fresh breeze and dark cloudy skies get to her.
"Sammy?"
"hm?"
"What do you think...you know...about death?"
she frowned instantly, and opened her eyes, finally tearing them off the sky to look at him.
he froze, getting an instant, solem look from her.
"Right...you don't care...sorry"
he went to let go of her hand, but she just tugged him into a hug, her eyes tightly shut, and her arms around his shoulders awkwardly, he blinked and looked down at the exhausted girl in his arms.
Erin, she was her closest friend...
he went to hug her back, but nearly jumped when he heard her lovely voice finally speak, taking him aback and making him shy away from hugging her back.
"Freddie..."
she whispered. her voice now shaking.
"promise me you'll be my best friend...from now on, promise me all i'll ever need is you?"
he stopped, than knitted his eyebrows, his chocolate colored eyes narrowed.
"Sam-"
"Whatever, dork, forget i said anything" she pushed him lightly away, drying her weary eyes and looking back at the sky.
he stood there for a moment, watching her, watching the clouds roll by.
he clenched his tiny fists.
and pulled her into a heartwarming hold, burying his head in her neck, and closing his eyes gently, she stood there, not saying a word, the least bit of surprise on her face.
"I promise"
"..."
she slowly and carefully placed her arms around him, and narrowed her eyes.
"you swear on your life?"
"i swear on my life"
[End of flashback]
he looked down at the sleeping body in front of him, she was now wrapped in a sheet, her eyes gently closed, and her breathing shallow but even.
he caressed her cheek lightly.
'Sam...i'll protect you from anything...even if that means myself'
'i've become a monster, in your eyes, and in my own...i owe you more than this...i owe you a life you deserve...'
he slowly and carefully backed away from her, pulling out his phone.
he quickly dialed a number, and closed his eyes.
'you deserve so much more than me...'
"Spence..."
he whispered, trying to keep quiet.
'even if it kills me to do this...'
"i need a favor"
'i'll have to leave you...'
